Tt has been proved that so-cailed ex- ternal remedies applied or inserted into the rectum canmot cure piles and at the hest only e temporary relief. This is also true of surgical operations which simply remove them after for- mation, but in no wise acts on the source ‘of the trouble.

Upon this depends the release from the present situation without resort to cmbargoes The statement issued is as follow: request for prompt unloading, resula- tion of the forwarding of shipments at a rate consistent with current and prompt release of cars on arrival at destination, arrangements for accumu- lating stocks on a basis averaging through reasonable periods of time in- stead of concentrating such shipments, and frequent and direct conferences between represeniatives of shippers and railroad officers so that without overloading and causing congestion the facilities for transportation would at all times be worked with maximum capacity and to the best advantage of all interested in car efficiency. It is again necessary to request prompt co-operation on the same lines for the following reasons: Since the recent strike the number of cars placed at destination for unloading has rapidly_increased from an average of out 8.000 per day to between 11,300 nd 12,600, equalling the record in this regard during periods heretofore when the maximum volume of traffic was be- ing handled. In addition there are a considerable number of cars at desti- nation awaitinz space on unloading tracks for delivery. Unioading is pro- gressing at the average rate of 2.4 days per car placed. Previous record has been at the rate of less than 2 day per car placed. which on account of the necessities of the present situation should be improved upon if possible. At the present time there are about 0.000 cars on the system. whereas the record volume of trafic formerly was handled with 5,000 to 7,000 less. The present increase is congesting trans vortation facilities, restricting the in- bound movement, the current perform- ance of terminal switching. prompt re- moval of empties, the receipt and for- warding of trains, and is decreasing capacity for maximum performance. The demand for empty cars is ex- tremely urgent The system has currently deliver al promptly unloaded. Tt has handled more traffic in the past than at pres- ent. BAN JOHNSON HAD INTEREST IN RED SOX New York, Sept. 11.—Ban Johnson, president of the American league, ad- mitted today on the witness stand he- fore Referee George J. Gillespie that he was interested in the Boston Amer- ample canacity to | ican league club while that club was owned from 1911 to 1914 by James Me- Aleer and Robert McRoyv. The latter, now deceased. formerly was Johnson's personal secretar: The testimony was gi ing before trial of the New Yorl suit to restrain him permanently interfering with the use of Pitcher Carl Mays, recently purchased from Boston. Johnson sald he had advanced the money that McRoy put into the Boston club in 1911. While McAleer was on the world tour with the New York Giants and Chicago White Sox in 1914 the club was sold to Joseph J. Lannin, when Johnson withdrew his interests. McRoy returned to Johnson's after the sale of the Boston club to Lannin. but became vice nresident and a stockholder in the Cleveland club when that club was purchased by in- terests controlled by I. C. Dunn in 1915. McRoy held that office at time of his death. Johnson n at a hear- club’s testified traffic that can be | from | office | the | here last week that he attended stock- holders' meetings of thé Cleveland club to represent the McRoy interests. ! The fatc that Johnson had been in- terested in the Boston club came up while Johnson was being questioned as to his alleged animosity against Harry Frazee, the present Boston own- er, said to have been reflected in the case of Pitcher Carl Mays. Johnson | defended his right to communicate with Manager Barrow, rather than with President Frazee, on matters of disciplining ball players. PLAINFIELD VS. ASHLAND A. A.
