Present indications are that
Christmas business in Washington
will be greater this year than ever
before. In view of this the Mer-
:hants' and Manufacturer Associa-
ton has issued an appeal to
shoppers to carry small parcels
and shop early in the morning."

bring nearly 5000 additional per-
sons to this city and the fact that
there will be no Christmas holiday

The predicted revival of prosper
ity also may bring rising trend of
prices, government ofhcials warn. II
this rise is too rapid or too high, II
may act as a brake on prosperity
and hold business men down to q
dead level This would result from
a REVIVAL of the buyers strike which
brought on the present economic
depression. II Is pointed out.
Government officials, however.
believe that business men now have
learned how far the public will
permit rising prices to go. The
public now is easing or its buyers
strike gradually, II is pointed out,
Unless q new wave of extravagant
spending should result from the
gradual lowering of prices, the pros

-Saber-rattling' and "the most
serious menace to the industrial
peace of this country" were terms
applied to w. W. Atterbury, Of the

BY william h Johnston, president OF
the International Association of Ma

First, they want to disrupt labor
organizations, particularly the so
called shop crafts" Johnston said
Prior to the war some of the rail-
roads, including the Pennsylvania
refused to recognize any labor or
ganization except the transporta-
tion brotherhoods.
We recall the attempt to organ
he the workers in the shops of the
Pennsylvania prior to the war. Men
who were known to carry unior
cards were summarily dismissed
Our organizers were bounded by

Charges SubterfuEe.
Second. Mr.. Atterbury and othel
executives are endeavoring to pre-
pare the public for the announce
ment that the Pennsylvania and
other railroads have disposed Of
their shops and transferred theil
general repair and construction
business to outside concerns, such as
the Baldwin Locomotive Works
This is a brazen attempt to evade

Extravagant contracts are a di

 If you have a severe <uph or chest cold accompanied with soreness, throat tickle, hoarseness, or difficult breathing, or if your child wakes up during the night with croup and you want quick help, try this reliable old homemade cough remedy. Any druggist can sepply you with 2h ounces of Pinex. Pour this into pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain rranulated sugar syrup. Or you can use clarified molasscs, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup, if desired. This recipe makes a pint of really remarkable cough remedy. f tastes good, and in spite of its low cost, it can be depended upon to give quick and lasting relief.
 You can feel this take hold of a cough in a way that means business. It looscns and raises the phlcgm, stops throat tickle and soothes and heals the irritated membranes that line the throat and bronchial tubes with such prompt ness, ease and certainty that it is really astonishing.
 Pinex is . special and highly coneen- trated componnd of genuine Norway pine extract, and is probably the best known means of overcoming severe coughs, throat and chest colds.
