RA1 B ■ HOAD a
WAGES
Shall they be determined by
Industrial Warfare or
Federal Inquiry?
To the American Public:
Do you believe in arbitration or indus¬
trial warfare?
The train employees on-all the railroads
are voting whether they will give their leaders
authority to tie up the commerce of the
country to enforce their demands for a 100
I million dollar wage increase.
The railroads are in the public service—
your service. This army of employes is in
the public service—your service.
You pay for rail transportation 3 billion
dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every
dollar from you goes to the employes.
On all the Southern railroads in 1915, seventy-five percent of the
train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and average
of all) as shown by the payrolls—
Passenger Freight Yard
Range Average Range Average Range Average
Engineers. $1972 $2306 $1455 $1910 $1156 $1566 ^
3810 3505 2421
Conductors 1552 1847 1353 1580 1055 1245
2696 2358 1749
Firemen 943 1209 649 979 406 777
.
1652 1638 1302
Brakemen. 957 1109 755 958 754 990
1736 1854 1405
The average yearly wage payments to all Southern train em¬
ployes (including those who worked only part of the year) as
shown by the 1915 payrolls were—
Passenger Freight Yard
Engineers . , . . . $2144 $1712 $1313
Conductors . . . . 1723 1488 1157
Firemen . . . . . 109S 865 688
Brakemen. . . . . 1013 845 863
A 100 million dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service (less than
one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per
cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost of transportation to you
'without a clear mandate from a public tri¬
bunal speaking for you.
The railroads have proposed the settle¬
ment of this controversy either under the
existing national arbitration law, or by refer¬
ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion. This offer has been refused by the
employes’ representatives.
Shall a nation-wide strike or an
investigation under the Gov¬
ernment determine this issue?

T Heart Symptoms
The ailments of women include symptoms of heart trouble known as palpitation
of the hca.t. The palpitation is so violent at times as to be really painful and
Haua the patient to fear she has heart disease. Ninety per cent of such cases are
not heart disease at all but only a symptom of a liver disorder v/hich lias affected
the normal action of the heart, and on applying the proper remedies the unusual
throbbing ceases. The stomach and digestion need strengthening and the
depressing effect of these disorders on the female organism must be corrected.
For the latter purpose there is no more effective remedy to be found anywhere than
PH, SIMMONS
Squaw Vine Wine
It conveys a strengthening influence to the delicate female organism, re-establishes
regular and healthy periods, overcomes the painful symptoms, builds up the
nerves and puts the generative system in fine healthy condition. For the liver
and bowel disorders one or two doses of Simmons Liver Medicine is ah that io
needed. It clears the stomach and bowels of impurities, helps digestion and the
proper nourishment of the Dody the result of which is sound, healthy
conditions all through the system.

Young Man, if You Want to Make
Good, Go to Church!
X/OUNG men should GO TO CHURCH!
The flippant vouth of the day is wont to remark that
1 1 > the . . churches 1 *r» lor old 1 1 ____... men and tiTAivinn women. He FT a 4 treats -mnto Urrlif lightly Iv
are
the CO TO CHURCH movement. Many of the young men of
the day say that they intend to have their fling while they are
young. young. °Where It is time enough to think of the church when they get
old. is the young man who can say that he will live to be
old? Where is the young man who, with certainty, can say that
he will live another day? Delays always are dangerous, but a de¬
lay in making your peace with God is doubly so. Pick up your
newspaper any day and see the long list of persons who, without
a moment’s warning, are plunged into eternity.
THE CHURCH WANTS THE YOUNG MAN. THERE IS NOTH-
ING MORE INSPIRING THAN TO SEE A CHURCH FILLED WITH
YOUNG MEN. THE YOUNG MEN SHOULD BE LEADERS IN THE
GO TO CHURCH MOVEMENT. THIS IS THE DAY OF THE YOUNG
MAN. NO GREAT MOVEMENT CAN HOPE TO SUCCEED WITH-
OUT HIS HELP. IF THE YOUNG MEN GET INTO THIS GO TO
CHURCH MOVEMENT IT WILL BE THE TREMENDOUS SUCCESS
IT DESERVES TO BE. THE YOUNG MAN WHO IS ANXIOUS FOR
A FUTURE; THE YOUNG MAN WHO WOULD EARN THE RE¬
SPECT OF THE COMMUNITY; THE YOUNG MAN WHO WANTS
TO MAKE GOOD WILL. GO TO CHURCH. HE WII I. BE SEEN
IN CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY.
The really great men of the country went to church when they
were boys, they went to church when they were young men. And
they GO TO CHURCH today. Their greatness in life may be
traced to GOING TO CHURCH. The church is not alone for
the old men and the old women. It is for the young, It is for the
strong. It is for the vigorous. The young women do
Yes; the church needs the young men. Rot all men
not need urging. They GO TO CHURCH, young
follow their good example.
