Then again, the after effects of Influenza are often even more distressing than the disease itself, but they can be avoided if you use, Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Though the greatest danger from this disease is Pneumonia, I have never known a single case of Influenza to result in it when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy was freely given. The persistent cough that frequently follows Influenza can be relieved by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and should not be allowed to run on until it becomes troublesome.” L Yours .

They will be followed on Sunday by the same classes of workmen on the Southern railway, the Norfolk & Westérn, the Virginia, Chesapeake & Ohio and a group of Northwestern roads. Others at Intervals. No formal outline of the brother- hood’s program, beyond the plans for these two days, made either to the managers or to the public. It is said, however, that the freight employes on the other roads would be called out in groups at twelve or twenty-four- hour intervals after Sunday. - If the paralysis of freight traffic thus caused does not result in sur- render by the railroads, employes on all passenger trains will be ordered out Wednesday. For Skeleton Service. The railroad managers say they ex- pect enough of their men to remain layol to enable them to maintain a skeleton seryice on most roads. The managers some time ago caused a census of employes to be taken to BEMIDJT DAILY PIONEER said, in varying percentages, rang- ing from a very few on some roads to from 50 to 60 per cent on others. 80.000 Out Tonight. The managers estimate that be- tween 30,000 and 40,000 men are em- ployed on the roads on which the strike is to begin tonight. The members of the managers’ committee will remain hese until to- day. If the men ask another confer- ence it will be granted. They said they would make every effort to op- erate their roads in spite of the strike. Preference will be given to the movements of trains carrying food and fuel. . Tired of Arbitration. ‘When the managers, in their coun- ter proposition at the flnal momen- tous conference, offered to abide by any decree of the Goethals Commis- sion if the Adamson act were de- clared unconstitutional, W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Rail- road Trainmen, spokesman for the employes, declared. “That would be only another form of arbitration and our men are sick and tired of arbitration.”” Say Seek Rights. The brotherhood chiefs contend their demand for the basic eight-hour day for all classes of work, with pro rata time for overtime, would give them only what they would gain un- der the provisions of the Adamson 2 2 Telephone 272 determine how many would refuse to go on strike. This resulted, it is BEMIDJI HORSE MARKET We Buy and Sell Horses, Harnesses and Vehicles. Moberg Construction Company law. They have abandoned their or- iginal demand for a time and a half for overtime. Delay in Decision. Declaring that the rank and file of the brotherhood membership and become impatient and would tolerate no further delay in enforcing their demands, Mr. Lee said the supreme court might adjourn without hand- ing down a decision on the Adamson act. In that event, he declared, there would be no decision until next win- ter, and the men would not wait. Managers Would Abide. The managers’ refusal to comply with the ultimatum of the brother- hoods was based upon the contention that they must “await and abide” by the decision of the supreme court on the Adamson act. ) They assert their willingness to submit the whole controversy to the eight-hour commission if the law is declared unconstitutional and agree to accept any decree of the commis- sion.

The question of its interpretation hours and The extra pay to which you might be entitled thereunder being allowed you as omitted time. This offer was declined in your behalf, and it is reported that you are now being ordered to strike on account of the authority which you conferred upon the officers of your organizations in the vote taken nearly a year ago. Certainly no fairer proposal could have been made by the railway and to grant more would be yielding to force without regard to fair play. Employees of the Northern Pacific Railway need not strike in order to secure fair treatment now or at any other time. Any controversy which may arise between officers and employees of this company can be settled without resort to force . It has been said by the press that the train, engine and yardmen employees on some other lines will not be affected by the strike order. I cannot believe that this is either because of greater loyalty to their employers, or because they are more patriotic than are you. I trust that you will not take hasty, ill-advised, unnecessary action, which will bring inconvenience and perhaps much suffering to large numbers of those who are dependent upon our lines for their very subsistence. I urge you all at this time of the country’s need not to be led from what you kiow is your duty to your country, your families and to the Northern Pacific Railway. GEO. T. SLADE, First Vice.
