TEN PER CENT SLASH IN
FREIGHT RATES EFFECTIVE
Practically All Commodities Reduced;
New Schedules Are In
corporated

Washington.-Freight rates through
out the United States on practically all
commodities were reduced by 10 per
cent when the carriers of the country
put into effect the decision rendered
last month by the interstate commerce
commission in the general rate case.
New schedules incorporated in the re-
duction have been completed since the
decision was handed down, although a
series Of orders abrogating rules and
regulations concerning publication of
new rates and like details were neces-
sary to prevent delays in some in
stances.
Agricultural commodities will be the
only important traffic which the 10
per cent cut will not affect, rates IN
these commodities having been reduced
last January. One or two other classi-
fications of freight have also been
given lower rates by commission or
derS in recent months and these also
are excluded from the new cuts. Rail
road statisticians have worked out the
estimate that the general rate decision
will cause a decrease of $3.50, 900, 900
annually in the nations freight bill.

Chicago.-Federal intervention by
the United States railroad labor board
failed to halt the strike of 100000 rail-
way shopmen. Flouting the boards
efforts to effect a settlement of the
shopmen's grievances before the walk
out took place, B. NJ. Jewell, head of
the shop crafts unions, and the six in
ternational union heads, refused to APP
pear for an official investigation of the
strike by the board. No further at
tempt to forestall the strike was made.
A threatened strike Of 100000 rail
way maintenance of way employees was
at least postponed, however, by the
boards intervention. The strike of
this group had been expected to paral-
lei that Of the shopmen.
Twelve railroad representatives an
nounced their willingness to cancel all
existing contracts for the performance
of railroad work by outside firms.
Practically all maintained that it was
their legal right to contract such work
but expressed a desire to comply with
the boards rulings, if thereby the
strike crisis might be relieved.

To Model China After U. S.

Peking.-Gen. WI Pei-Fu, dominant
figure of Northern China, endorsed the
recent suggestion of Gen. Chiung-Ming,
outstanding leader of the South, that a
federal system be adopted for reunited
China, patterned after that Of the
United States of America. General WI
suggested that the ~reorganized repub-
lie be known as the UNITED States Of
China"
The majority of the provinces al
ready have signified their approval of
the proposal to reunite the country
under a federal government at Picking,
with each province enjoying rights
similar to those accorded the separate
states of the American union.

BOWRON SOUGHT
RELIEF 40 YEARS
Tanlac Restores Los Angeles Man to
Splendid Health After Every
thing Else Had Failed.

~Tanlac has done me more good
than all other medicines and treat
ments combined, and that's saying a
great deal, for I was a sufferer from
indigestion forty years and have tired
every kind Of medicine that came my
way" said R. 81. Bowron, 1886 W.
18th ST., Los Angeles, Cal.
II could hardly stand the bad spells
I frequently had with my stomach. l
was weak and nervous, had no appe-
tite, and l felt miserable generally
Nothing l took gave me more than
temporary relief and I gradually
grew worse.
about two years ago Tanlac put
me in splendid condition and 1t has
been my standby ever since. When
ever I get to feeling a little off, q
bottle or two puts me in fine shape.
I eat heartily now, sleep fine, have
no distress after meals, and, in fact,
am enjoying splendid health. Tanlac
is just the thing for those who suffer
as I did"
Tanlac is sold by all good druggists.

cascara Bark.

The supply of cascara bark is linn
tied. Although barberry trees are
found in California, Oregon and other
in Washington. The supply there is
being rapidly depleted, each year the
gatherers going further into the
swampy depths of the forests. The
bark renews itself in time, but the
second growth is not as desirable as
the old and contains less pungent
medicinal sap.
Many kinds Of medicines, f1avors
and drugs are made from the bar
berry bark and it is used around the
world.

CAT CREEK SAND
YIELDS BIG WELL
Productivity Of Lower Stratum viii
More Than Double Life
Of Field

Billings.-The Franz producer from
the deep sand, brought in last week
in the Cat Creek field, is a tremend-
oil well, according to news which
has just reached here.
The well was drilled seven feet fur
ther into the sand, and Is now making
over 1900 flush. This is said to be a
conservative estimate OF the increased
flow.
The Franz well is offset to the Mid
Northern gusher, Clayton-18 No. 2, and
is 40 feet due south Of the Clayton
The latter well Is making 1900 barrels
a day. The Franz corporation has
the new well connected up with the
pipe line, and is handling the big flow
In good shape, it is said.
The two big producers in the second
Cat Greek sand of the Wild Schultz
tract indicate a tremendous quantity of
oil remains in this field, despite the
fact that scores of wells have been pro-
ducing the liquid wealth for three or
four years from the first sands. The
productivity Of the lower stratum will
double the life of the field, 1t is be-
lieved by biologists and experienced
operators.
The Mid-Northern and Frantz cor
p%orations are said to hold practically
all the ground on which wells can be
drilled to the second sands. Officials
the Mid-Northern company said that
there are no immediate plans to drill
a new well to the deep sand.

GOT RID OF HIS AUDIENCE
Indiana Youth Cannot Be Denied the
Faculty of Arriving at a
Quick Decision.

In Sullivan county there are still
many rural phones, the sort that when
the bell rings on one it rings for all
the others, too, reports the Indian
apolis News. But each patron Is sup
posed to be honorable and answer the
phone only when his or her OWN call
Is given. Many, being rather lonely,
answer all calls and do the listening
stunt to perfection.
A recent graduate at one of the
schools received a present from his
"girl" and also one from several Of the
neighbors at the exercises. But when
the girls came he decided to thank
her right away And he went to the
telephone and called her number.
He heard central ring her phone,
and then counted six clicks before she
answered him. He knew he had an
audience. SO quite politely he said,
Nov that you are all together |
want to thank you individually and
jointly for the nice presents you sent
me for my graduation"
A silence, and then gently six re-
ceivers clicked back on their hooks.
The boy, sure he had privacy with his
girl, Immediately told her what he
wished to say about her present.

TWO MORE GUSHERS FOR
THE SALT CREEK FIELD
One Has Estimated Production Of
$500 Barrels Daily; other
a Little Less

Casper, Wyo.-Two monster wells
we're brought in recently in the Salt
Creek oil fields. The greater of the
two was brought in by Bonfils-Stidger
company, oil being encountered at a
depth of 2,185 feet. The oil shot high
owe the derrick, and the production is
estimated at $500 barrels daily. The
other strike was made by the Midwest
Refining company, and has a produc-
ton a little under the first well.
The Bonfils-Stidger well is believed
by oil men to be the greatest producer
In the entire field.

described In an interview her husbands
flight and her last stand in the presi-
Dental palace with a bodyguard of so

troopers.
Madame Sun declared that a scant
500 men under her husbands command
were opposed to an army of 25,0OO

~bodyguard of so soldiers left with her
in the presidential palace when her
husband, after her repeated urgings,
took refuge in flight, was killed al
most to a man.

Excellent Advice.

"Never refuse to see what you do
not want to see or which might go
against your own cherished hypothesis
or against the views of authorities.
These are just the clews to follow up,
as is also and emphatically SO the
thing you have never seen or heard of
before. The thing you cannot get a
pigeonhole for is the finger point show
ing the way to discovery"
This advice to scientists and others
was given in a lecture by Sir Patrick
Manson, the celebrated British physi-
clan who discovered that malaria is
caused by mosquitoes. Sir Patrick died
a few weeks ago.-Exchange.

ITS DECISIONS VOICE LAW AND
MUST STAND, SAYS
ULTlMATUM
STANDING sQuARELY BEHIND
No Further Action Will be Taken BY
Government Unless Continuation
Of Transportation 10
Threatened

Washington. The administration,
speaking through the White House, has
declared its determination to stand
squarely behind the railroad labor
board. 1t was because Of the decisions
of the labor board that the shop crafts
men decided to quit work.
The administration view, set forth in
language as forcible as the spokesman
could command, was that the labor
board is one of the agencies Of the
government dealing with disputes be-
tween the roads and their employees
and therefore its DEGREES must and
would be backed up blythe government.
The labor board sis the government
when it speaks" was the way the
spokesman summed up the administra-
ton view, adding that this view held,
whether the boards decisions drew the
protests of labor organizations because
they involved cuts in wages, or whether
they were protested by the railroads
because they required the management
to desist in contracting out repair work
to private shops. The determinations
of the board, the administration fur
Their was asserted to hold, are by the
delegated authority of congress and in
a field definitely marked out in the
law Of the land.
The general belief is that as the
transportation act clothes the labor
board with no powers to enforce it's
decision, there are no steps left for
government to take except to main
tain it's stand behind the boards de-

SEIZURE Of YANKS BY
MEX|CANS ST|RS CAPITAL
Act Of Bandits Will Not Affect Rela-
tons of United States With
Obregon Is Claim

Neutrality-suspicious. of 40 Ameri-
can employees of the Cortez Oil com
pany at Tampico, Mexico, reported to
the state department, as security for
a ransom of $4,000 pesos, created a
stir In official circles in Washington.
Lacking further information as to
what happened behind what is ap-
parently a rigid censorship at Tam
pico, however, there was little to in
dictate whether the incident would lead
toward any change of attitude here
toward the Obregon government in
Mexico.
In fact at the White House it was
said that relations between the United
States and Mexico were not likely to
be affected in any way by the bandits
outbreak.
Beyond a brief report stating that
in addition to the two score American
employees, a quarter Of a million dol
lars worth of destructible property of
the Cortez Oil company was being held
as security for the payment demanded,
no other word has reached the state
department concerning the bandit ac-
ton in Tampico.
AT least, so far as known, the state
department had not reported the Cor
tez company incident to either army
navy officials or inquired as to the
availability of navy ships to send to
he scene. There is no American war
ship in waters adjacent to Tampico.

REPUBLICANS SOLID;
DEMOCRATS SPLIT
Many Democrats Join Overwhelming
Majority for Increase In
House Rates

Observation-Disclosures on cattle and
meats, written into the tariff bill with
the approval Of the Republican agri-
cultural-tariff bloc and ranging gen.
orally higher than those in the house
measure, were approved by the senate
by overwhelming majOrities. Not only
did the Republicans vote solidly for
the first time since the bill was called
up nine weeks ago, but there was the
first real split in the Democratic ranks.
Five roll calls were demanded during
the day and all showed about the same
results. The first was on the rates
of n and n half cents q pound on
live cattle weighing less than 1850
pounds and two cents a pound on cat
tie weighing more than that amount
and the resultant vote was 4S to Is.
The second roll call was on the COM
mittee amendment to increase to three
and a half cents the two-cent rate pro-
posed by the house on fresh beef and
veal. The vote was AZ TO Is, with SIX
Democrats voting with the solid Re-
publican majority.
The senate then voted, 43 to 16, to
Increase to five cents a pound the rate
of two cents a pound on lard com
pounds and lard substitutes. The
house rate was 20 per cent ad valorum
on American valuation.
There was no contest over the propo-
sition to raise to four cents the house
of IL cents a pound on reindeer
meat, venison and other game, it being
explained hat this was in the nature
Of a luxury tab.
