Secretary Garrison is confident the
policy will not be abused in any way
by the states, as has often been charged
by advocates of strict Kational legisla
tion. By giving permits only to con
cerns that are public utilities, duly in
corporated as such, the projects are
brought, under the immediate super
vision of state public utility commis
sions, but states whose laws governing
public utllties are Inadequate and. do
not protect the public from practices
of monopoly and discrimination would
not be the recipients of Federal per
mits. Discretionary Right Retained.
Water power rights would be with
held, it is understood, until such states
passea laws conf orming to the ideas of
the Federal Government on what are
proper safeguards. In all cases, the
plan is to have the War Department
vested by Congress with discretionary
right to withhold permits until specific
conditions set forth by National leg
islation are complied with.

Nineteen Important Demands for
Changes in Rules Governing
Passenger and Freight Crews
J Also Are Granted.
CHICAGO, Feb. 19. Increase in
wages approximating: $100,000 annually
were granted today to 5000 trainmen
of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Tlailroad by a .board of arbitration,
which has been sitting for three
months.
Ttie decision of the arbitrators was
otherwise generally favorable to the
employes.
The award granted full payment for
ell services performed, either in miles
or in hours, but denied in almost every
Instance requests for extra payments
for service incidental to regular duties.
No reductions in pay were made.
Minimum Want Established.
A minimum wage per month was es
tablished for the first time for pas
senger trainmen and 13 as follows:
Conductors, $134. 2: baggagemen,
$80.85; brakemen and flagmen, $i4.80.
The minimum pay for Chicago subur
ban trainmen was increased to the fol
lowing: Conductors, $112.90; collectors,
$85; brakemen, $72.
The board granted 19 important de
mands of the men for changes in rules
governing both the freight and pas
senger service. With few exceptions,
the award placed the compensation of
way freight trainmen on the mileage
basis, conductors to receive 4.75 cents
and brakeman 3.25 cents a mile, 100
mile3 or less, 10 hours or less to con
stitute a day. The grant preserved
for the employes all existing rates
which may be higher.
Loat Time Is Paid For.
Among important awards are the
following:
Trainmen must be paid for lost time
through the failure of the company to
cull them for service.
Pay of crews of regular work trains
to be increased whenever the daily
mileage exceeds their daily rate.
The railroad is bound by the agree
ment not to reduce passenger crews or
Increase their mileage to offset the in
crease in wages.
The award is the result of 14 months
of effort on the part of trainmen to
obtain a revision of working rules and
an increase of wages. In December,
1912, they presented a proposition to
the railroads involving more than 150
rules. It was found impossible to
agree on 39 rules and in accordance
with the Newlands act the United
States Commissioner of Mediation was
invited to attempt to adjust the dif
ferences. He was unsuccessful and an
arbitration board was agreed on.

FEDERAL HEALTH OFFICIAL
"WARNS SAX FKAKCISCAXS.
More Than 2TO0 Men Quartered on lot
200 Feet Square Kegleet to
Adopt Sanitary Measures.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19. (Special.)
That the conditions induced by 'the
unemployed army's occupancy of a va
cant lot at Fifth and Howard streets
"are likely to produce contagious or
infectious diseases among the unem
ployed themselves and in addition their
presence there under existing condi
tions constitutes a serious menace to
the health of the community" is the
warning given in a letter from the
United States Public Health Service to
Dr. William C. Hassler, chief sanitary
officer of the San Francisco Board of
Health.
There are between 2500 and 3000
men quartered on a lot approximately
200 feet square, it is pointed out in
the letter, which goes on to say: "There
are no provisions for proper housing,
for cooking or for sanitation, and the
arrangements for water supply are in
adequate. Inasmuch as the conditions
mentioned are likely to produce con
tagious or infectious disease among the
unemployed themselves, and as, in ad
dition, their presence there under exist
ing conditions constitutes a serious
menace to the health of the community,
it is suggested that immediate action
be taken to improve the conditions as
they at present exist."
Vigorous complaints have been re
ceived from adjacent property owners.
The men make no attempt to prevent
contamination of the property, the use
of which they receive free.
UNION AGENTS ACCUSED
EXTORTION LAID TO ELECTRICAL
AND GLASS WORKERS.
Wrecking Crews Said to Have Followed
Where Money Was Refnsed, Es
caping In Automobiles.
CHICAGO, Feb. 19; Charges that
business agents of the electrical work,
ers" union and the glaziers' union had
extorted thousands of dollars from real
estate men were made tonight in a
statement by Maclay Hoyne, State's At
torney. The February grand Jury will
investigate the charges.
In spite of the alleged extortion,
Hoyne said, the real estate men who
had suffered had been unwilling to
testify before him and some who ad
mitted to having been victimized would
not consent to appear before the grand
Jury.
The State's Attorney said the union
agents had approached owners of build
ings being constructed and demanded
money before the work could continue.
On some occasions, he said, the owners
were told that the men at work did
not belong to the regular union and on
other occasions threats were made to
tear out part of the work unless money
was paid.
The statement charges that unless the
money was paid wrecking crews fol
lowed the agents and would break
windows and then escape in automobiles.

WHY DOCTORS NO LONGER
CLAIM TO "CURE" PEOPLE
A few years ago it was a common
thing for the family doctor to say, "I
will cure you in a few days." This
cheerful prophecy often gave the
patient new hope and courage but it
is no longer good form. Doctors still
"cure" malaria and a few other troubles
in which their medicines have a direct
or "Bpeciflc" action on the virus of the
disease. In other cases they simply
give supporting medicine and keep up
the strength of the patient until
nature effects a cure.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure chlorosis
and other trouble due to thin blood be
cause they have a specific action on
the blood, building it up, purifying
and enriching it.. This direct action on
the blood also makes them the best
supporting and strengthening medicine.
If you are thin and weak, breathless
after slight exertion, if you have pal
pitation of the heart. gas on the
stomach, eold hands and feet, if you
are nervous and easily irritated and
show other signs of weakened vitality,
try these strengthening pills at once
and let the rich, red blood cure you.
