MEDIATION BOARD SO TOLD Heads of Brotherhoods Declare That if Protection 1s Refused the Men Will Use Their Full Strength tc Protect Themselves. Chicago, Dec. 22.—Threats that th¢ enginemen of Western railroads wii strike if the board of arbitration fail: to regulate surprise tests in a manner which will eliminate danger to the men were made before the board at the day’s session. The threats were made by Warren S. Stone, grand chief engineer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and William S. Carter, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire- men and Enginemen, representing the men. They were occasioned by remarks of W. L. Park, vice president of the Illi- nois Central, and F. A. Burgess of the engineers’ organization, both mem- bers of the board, and by James M. Sheean, attorney for the railroads. Park read into the record a long record devoted mostly to quotations from a report of the interstate com- merce commission, in which he assert- ed that the efficiency tests were based on the advice -of the commission and that much evidence would have to be introduced to persuade him to inter- fere with the methods of ‘discipline adopted by the roads to assure the observation of safety rules. Burgess accused Park of arguing the case, thus usurping the duties of counsel and out of keeping with his position as an arbitrator. Sheean ‘then said that the railroad managers had assured the officials of the brotherhoods that only such sur- prise tests as took into consideration the safety of the men surprised would be used. This brought Carter and Stone to their feet. Quote Old Assurances. “I will inform the board,” said Stone, “that we have heard this as- surance before. In 1906, in 1907 and in 1910 we tried to get the roads to eliminate dangerous’ efficiency tests and each . time.we.sent back to the men, and told them that it was ail right, that the roads would conduct only fair tests, and just as regularly the roads did nothing of the kind. “Now, if the assurances of the rail- roads do not remove this danger to the lives and limbs of our men; if federal and state laws do not, and if this arbitration fails to do so, I can assure you that the men will. “I do not wish to try to intimidate this board—I've got too much sense for that—but the strength of the men will be used if necessary to protect themselves when all else fails.” “Safety first is a good advertise- ment,” but we want a system that will not cause an engineman, suddenly confronted with a red light, to jumn when there is no real danger. We in- vite efficiency tests. There is not in the world a body of men who conform to the duties of their positions so closely as the enginemen and if the law cannot protect them, as it has not in Kansas, the men will by their unit ed strength.” P GARRISON MAKES SORTIE Austrians Endeavoring to Raise Siege of Przemysl. Vienna, Dec. 22.—A supreme effort is being made to raise the siege of Przemysl. A portion of the garrison has made a sortie toward Bircza and is report- ed to be engaged with the Russiarn This Austrian foree is endeavo: to effect a junction with the army which for the past three days has been engaged with the Russians in an at- tempt to reach the besieged fortress from Sanok and Lisko.

INDIAN TROOPS DEFEATED Berlin Tells of Victory Over Forces of Allies.

Cleveland, Dec. 22.—William J. Troy, aged fifty years, proprietor of several hotels, was found stabbed to Qeath in a room in the Troy hotel. The fact that more than $200 of Troy's money and a diamond.ring were reported missing caused the po- lice to work on the, theory that rob- bery prompted the crime. Light as a Feather By Mrs. Janet McKenzie Hill, Editor of the Boston Cooking School Magazine Baking Powder Biscuits made by this recipe are so far ahead of ordinary king powder biscuits that, if once t: you will never use any other recips.

The moment you apply bold-sulphur to an itching or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a renowned dermatologist. 2 This remarkable sulphur made into a thick cream effects such prompt relief, even in aggravated Eczema, that it is a never-ending source of amazement to physicians. § 'or many years bold-sulphur has oc- cupied a secure position in the treat- ment of cutaneous eruptions by reason of its cooling, parasite-destroying prop- erties and nothing has ever been found to take its place in relieving irritable and inflammatory affections of the skin. While not always establishing a perma- nent cure, yet in every .imstance, it immediately ‘subdues the itching irrita- tion and heals the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any erup- tion again manifests itself. Any good druggist will supply an ounce of bold-sulphur, which should be applied to the affected parts like the ordinary cold creams. It isn’t unpleae- ant and the prompt relief afforded is very welcome, particularly when the Ee- zema is accompanied with torturous itch- | ing. i H —— 3 A Danger Signal Hoarseness in a child that is sub- ject to croup is a sure sign of an ap- proaching attack.
