RAILROADS SAY
SECT MOSELY
JOGGLED FACTS
Washington, Dec. 20.—Charging that
he has misstated the (acts about rail
road accidents, that he has juggled sta
tistics In order to make them show that
railroad travel Is much more danger'
ous In this country than abroad, and
that he is a special pleader for the la
bor unions and against the railroads,
Western roads have opened a war upon
Secretary Edward A. Mosely of the In
terstate commerce commission.
It is charged that Mr. Mosely has
been unduly active and unfair In Ills
advocacy of the pending "hours of
service" legislation, which proposes to
limit to sixteen hours the continuous
employment of railroad men. This Is
the bill which Senator I-ft Toilette has
been pressing In the upper chamber and
on which It has been agreed to vote
January 12. The railroads are unllm-
tiering their guns for a big light on It.
and will attempt to secure adoption of
amendments that friends of the meas
ure believe would make It Ineffective.

COMMUNITY SILVER—GUARANTEED FOR 25 YEARS.
It la generally acknowledged that Community
Silver hat achieved a popularity never approach
ed by any other plated ware. The reasons for this

tremely rich nnd deep, and In both the effects of
sterling-
Second, because It represents the truest econo
my. At the present price of silver the heaviest
plate Is the most economical. Triple plate will
wear three times as long as single, while Its ad
ditional cost is by no means three times aa great.

than triple and Is guaranteed (both by the manu
facturers and ourselves) to last 25 yeari. Any
