Night Coughing
Relieved At Once

Why suffer continually from a per-
sistent, weakening night cough when
you can get almost instant relief, and
usually break the cough completely in
"a hours by a new method based on the
famous DR.. Kings New Discovery!
Here is the method: You simply take
one teaspoonful and hold 1T in your
throat for Is or 20 seconds before
swallowing it. 1t has double action.
II not only soothes and heals irritation,
but also removes the phlegm and con-
gestion which are the real cause of the
coughing. AS a result even the worst
cough usually disappears quickly.
DR.. Kings New Discovery is for
coughs. chest colds. bronchitis. spas
modic Group, etc. Fine for children,
too-no harmful drugs. Very economi.

STRIKERS APPEAL
Green Says Any Aid Given to
British Will Be on HUI
manitarian Grounds.

American Federation of Labor Off
cials, in acting on the appeal to the
federation from the British Trade
Union Congress for funds TO aid in
carrying on the strike, are expected
by President William Green to CON
slider the matter entirely from the
humanitarian standpoint.
Mr.. Green said yesterday that he
believed the executive council Of the
federation. which VIII decide whether
financial aid shall be given The Brit
ish strikers, would approach the queS
ton strictly from that angle. II aid
is given, il will be az an act OF broth
erhOod, Mr.. Green sai9, adding that
he did not believe the council would
go into the question Of the merits Of
the strike.
Since the executive council is not
scheduled to meet again until the lat
ter part Of June. President Green said
he planned 20 take up the matter OF
extending aid TO the British strikers
with the members individually, and
thought il would not be necessary to
call a special meeting Of the council.
II was explained after The appeal
was received at labor headquarters
here yesterday that a phrase in the
cablegram reading. Thanks for offer
of assistance" probably was prompted
by the language of President Greens $
statement Of TUESDAY expressing sym
pathy for the workers.

SOUTHWEST FIELD
MINE CUT REFUSED
Lewis Says Readiustment

KANSAS CITY. Mo. May S,--JOhn
J.. Lewis, president Of the United
Mine Workers Of America, has re.
iected a request of Southwest coal op-
orators for readjustment of their
wage contract with the union.
Correspondence with the Union
chief was made public last night by
w. l.. johnson. general commissioner
of the Southwest Coal Operators AS
sociation. In defining a reconSidera-
ton of the contract, Mr.. lewis wrote:
Certain factors, more or less local
in nature. have operated to the dis
advantage of the industry in the
Southwest. The demoraliZing effect of
such influences cannot he properly
charged to the wage rates. II is OBJ
vious that the United Mine Workers
of America could not agree to a. modi-
fication throughout the United States.
1t is equally obvious that lowering of
the Southwest's wages would not
place the Southwestern districts in
any more advantageous position than
they y4now occupy.
The present wage scale was signed
in May, 1924, and expires April 80,
1927. The Southwest field comprises

Frantic Messages Sent.
The Leviathau's wireless was kept
busy receiving frantic messages from
America, directed to passengers by
relatives and friends. These persons.
alarmed by the highly-colored dis
patches in some American papers, pic
turing riot and bloodshed. begged the
passengers 10 land at Cherboug in
stead of southampton. The messages
were not without effect and several

Others decided to take Their
chances. Will Rogers declared he

Mrs Morgan Converse of New York
also insisted upon coming to London
instead OF landing at Cherbourg, as
she first intended.
Altogether 400 passengers came TO

Pickets Take Precautions.
The pickets at the Southampton
dock questioned the drivers Of the
lorIies, but made no trouble. The
same applied to a half dozen lorrieS
for the Maurtetania. which is sailing
this afternoon with some 700 pas
sengers, among them J. w. Hartman.
New York banker.
The Cunard liner Scythia was sched-

afternoon. The Ascania and Andania
Eiiled without trouble on Thursday
and Friday, respectively.
The White Star line sent CO pas.
sengers to Southampton to embark
on the Pennland from Antwerp, sail
ing for New York in the course Of
the afternoon. The charabanks in
which they were transported will
serve to bring to London the pas
sengers from the Homeric. due at
Southampton at 3 pm. The Me
gantic is due to leave Liverpool for
Montreal about $50 and no trouble
IS anticipated.
Plymouth is still being given a wide
berth by incoming liners. The Gu

and the Ansonia. from Quebec, have
received orders to proceed straight to
Southampton.
