Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy
This is unquestionably one of the
most successful inedicines'in use for
bowel complaints. A few doses of it
will cure an ordinary attack of
diarrhoea. It has been used in nine
epidemics of dsentery with perfect
success. It can always be depended
upon to give prompt relief in cases
of colic and cholera morbus. When
reduced with water and sweetened
it is pleasant to take. Kvery family
should keep this remedy at hand.

MEN ADVISED TO REMAIN AT
WORK. BUT "IN PEACE TO
PREPARE FOR WAR."
Chicago. Aug. 26. Rules govern
ing the payment of overtime rates,.)
promulgate by the United Statesi
railroad labor hoard last week to!
supplant the overtime rules of the
national agreement covering shop!
crafts employes, were rejected as
"unju. ti!i( d'' by a conference of re
gional executive hoards of the rail
way employes' department. of the
American Federation of Labor to
day. The letter today reviews the rules
controversy, pointing out that not
withstanding the railroads request
for separate negotiations with their
own emploves. onlv three small
roads had completed agreements!
with their men. The unions had;
contended for a national conference'
and adoption of a uniform set of
rules for every road in the country, j
Dissatisfaction that but seven of:
the ISt'i rules of the national agree
ment had been passed upon by the
byard was also eNpressod.
Intention to uru the board to dis
pose of all general rules immediately
was expressed. Until all the rules
are promulgated, the executive boards
decided to adj.mrn before taking
any final action.
If "A satisfactory settlement is
not obtained and the membership byj
vote supports the position of this;
body, there will be need for the use
of the full pow er and strength of I
these organizations in collective ac-j
tion." the letter said.
"With this conclusion firmly fixed
in our mind, we hold it to be the
duty of each individual member to
'in time of peace prepare for war'
and each of you are, therefore, re
quested to carefully conserve your
personal finances, secure supplies of
food, clothing, fin I and other house
hold necessities."
The signatures of all the presi
dents of the six shop crafts unions
appear on the letter.
A letter was .viit today to. all
'.oca's, conveying the results of a
three-day conference just concluded.
"l'.y no conci -nable line of reason
ing." the letter -aid. "can Decision
222 be justified and this body de
clines to accent it."
All union members- were warned,
however, to remain at work until
further oilicial action is taken by
union officials. The letwr advised
that it was con.-i iered best to wait
until the labor beard had issued sub
stitute rules for the entire national
agreement before taking a referen
dum vote on the matter.
The seen rules announced by the
board last week; cover payments for
overtime, Sundays and holidays. A
number of radical changes were
made and labor leaders declared the
