WASHINGTON, March 8.-Un-
employment conditions in the Bick-
nell. Ind. coal fields are cited as
the most striking single example of
the alleged railroad conspiracy
against union coal miners by John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, before the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, he
said, wouldn't buy "a ton of Knox
County coal" except at greatly de-
pressed prices, and as a result the
mines are mot turning a Wheel
He named the Knox Consolidated
Coal Company as the chief sufferer
from the roads action. This COM
pany had refused to depress its
prices as demanded, he said. and
had suffered complete loss of the
railroads business.
The company instead is hauling
coal for use on its Indiana division
from Ohio. Kentucky and West
Virginia instead of using Indiana
coal. in the belief Of the Miners
Union, he said.
Much More Expensive
This Is naturally much more ex-
pensive, because of the long haul,
than using Indiana coal, he added.
But the policy Is being carried out
in pursuance Of the railroads plan
to break" the United Mine Work
ers.
Two officials Of the Knox Con-
solidated Coal Company. Edward
Logsdon. president, and H A.
Glover, chairman of the marketing
committee, both Of Indianapolis,
have been Subpoenaed to appear
before the committee.
They have notified the committee
they will appear probably Monday
"As a result of the Pennsylvania S
policy, mines are closed. business
men there are going bankrupt and
public subscriptions are being raised
for the union miners" Lewis said
THE Pennsylvania Is not getting
its coal any cheaper, in our opin-
ion. but is looking to the future, ir
the hope Of breaking down our or
ganization in Indiana and later get
ting coal much cheaper"
Charges Other Roads Join
He said the Chicago g. st. Paul
the B. g. o. and the New York
Central had joined in the alleged
movement against the miners
union, and were partially respon-
: sible with the Pennsylvania for the
present situation In Indiana anc
Ohio.
The huge SURPRISES being built
up by some of the roads literally
, are being blackjacked from the
muscles of the coal miners and the
assets Of the coal companies" he
said.
Senator Watson Of Indiana asked
how the roads worked it."
THE coal business of the rail-
roads is the most important of all
from the standpoint of the coal
operators" Lewis answered.
AHey play one operator against
the other, by exerting this unwar-
ranted power and influence. One
operator may be glad to go along
upon being promised steady patron
age, and then he is used as lever
upon the Others"
Lewis testimony on the Indiana
situation was elected by committee
members who asked him for ex-
ampleS after he had made his gen.
eral conspiracy charge. 1t was in
terjected into his prepared state
ment.

Prescription He Wrote
in 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When DR.. Caldwell started to prac-
ticc medicine. back in 1875, the needs
for a laxative were not as great as
they arc today People lived nor
NAL. quiet lives. ate plain. whole
some food. and got plenty OF fresh
air and sunshine. But even that
early there were drastic physics and
purges for the relief of constipation
which DR.. Caldwell did not believe
were good for human beings to put
into their system. So he wrote a
prescription for laxative 10 be used
by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name OF DR.. Cald
wells Syrup Pepsin. is a liquid vege-
table remedy. intended for women,
children and elderly people. and they
need just such a mild. safe, gentle
bowel stimulant as Syrup Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions OF bottles arc used a year
proves that il has won the confidence
OF people who needed it TO get re-
lief from headaches. bliousness.
fiatulence, Indigestion, loss OF appe-
tite and sleep. bad breath. dyspepsia,
colds and fevers.
Millions of families are now never
without DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,

you will also always have a bottle
handy for emergencies.
