 OPERATION JULY 3l
PREFERENCE FROM STRIKERS SAID TO BE MAIN CAUSE OF
 DISCONTINUANCE

Harrison. Ark.-J. C. Murray. reeeiy. CT and general manager of the Mis- souri and North Arkansas Railroad. has announced that steps were being taken to discontinue operation of the railroad at midnight July 31. Appeals have been made to the federal govern ment without avail except that 1t may be possible at some future time to re- ceive payment amounting to $70,000 which Mr. Murray stated is due the company left over from the guaran. tee period. There will be sufficient funds on hand August 1 to pay wages of employees. he said. but it will be impossible to continue after that time as liquid assets are approximately $500. 900 under current liabilities and demands have been made for payment Of liabilities before additional mate, rials and supplies will be furnished
 The main cause" Mir. Morray said lis interference from strikers and dep- relations committed. costing the rail- road company enormous loss"
 It is assumed here that foreclosure will ensue and that the road will be sold.
 The railroads $2S,O00 pay roll. due July 15, was met today. thus assuring operation of the road for the present at least.
 Mr. Murray has just returned from Washington, where efforts to obtain government aid were futile. Claims against the government of $70000 are still due, he claims in a statement just issued.
 He said loss sustained by the corpo. ration separate from original invest ment was s1,302 995.4S. and loss to government during federal operation was SS75, 5,121.62, total of $2,17S,1171O. til July 31, but freight service will be stopped sooner to allow time to clear tracks of foreign equipment and con solidate equipment and supplies.
 The company has no money for fuel accounts, and fuel companies refuse further credit
 The shutdown means an incalcula- hle loss to North Arkansas Harrison suffers most. losing pay roll of shops and offices and two or three hundred employees. However. truck lines vill be run to Missouri Pacific at Berg. man, ten miles distant south sf here and shut off from communication
 There is a very slim chance of big railroad buying the equipment snd maintaining service.

Mr. Oodson, the "Liver Tone" Man. Responsible for Change
 for the Better.

Every druggist in town has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomei. They all give the same reason. Dod- 'on's Liver Tone is taking it's place.
 "Calomel is dangerous and people lnow it." Dodson's Liver Tone is per 'onally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle doesn't cost very much. but if 1t fails to give 'asy relief in every case of liver slug gishness and constipation, just ask for your money back.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm less to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake up feel ing fine no biliouSness. sick headache. acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience all the next day like violent calomel. Take dose of calomel today and to- morrow you will feel weak, sick ard nauSeated. Don't lose a day.

Kansas Governor Says Honest Days
 Work Is Best Foundation.

New York, Dec. Ex-Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas criticized Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, in an address before the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce today, for "roaring at the president because the president advocates an industrial tribunal"
 "Gompers never stood for a pro- gram that helped the workers unless that program was introduced by the working man. he declared.
 Governor Allen also attacked Mir, Gompers for 'shis recent declaration that the fight of the laboring man is to keep what he won in the war" as- serting that statement twas based on the borrowed notion that artificial de- mand for labor might be created by teaching labor to slack on the job.
 "A good platform to build on today is an honest days work" he said. The governor dwelt at length on the workings If the Kansas industrial court. which he asserted, provided Impartial justice for capital labc' nna Inc Fve4k N&

NEW MACHINERY AT WORK TO
 EXPEDITE NAVAL LIMITATION
Committee of Fifteen, Civil and Naval, Will "Short Circuit" Delays
 in Conferences.


 Washington, Dec. 12.-New Machin- cry to expedite final action on naval limitation agreements was set up to- day by the arms conference.
 At the suggestion of the American group, the former committee of ex- perts was "scrapped' in favor of a committee of fifteen" including both plenary delegates and civil and naval experts of the five powers. The whole subject of naval limitations including the cornerstone "5-5-3" ratio wal turned over to the new committee tS be put in final shape for the confer ence.
 Meanwhile it became known thaf the Japanese delegation had received instructions from Tokio regarding th' 5-5-3 ratio. The nature of the com munication was not disclosed. Ther' were many indications, however, thai it marked long stride toward fina acceptance of this vital point in th' naval limitation project.
 The "committee of fifteenv was de scribed by a British spokesman as { means to ~short circuit delays un avoidable in the previous division oi labor between committee of delegates and separate committee of naval ex perts.
