There Is more Catarrh In this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced It a
local disease and prescribed local reme
dies, and by constantly falling to cure
with local treatment, pronounced It Incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Hall's

selves." The witness assented.
There were various other overstate
ments shown by Mr. Lauck as having
been found In the railroads' exhibit
and he said that the net overstate
ment growing out of these errors
probably would amount to $39,000,000.
There was a good deal said during
the week respecting the exhibits the
companies had put in purporting1 to
show wages of engineers and firemen.
Mr. Lauck during his testimony at
various times brought out the fact
that the railroads' estimates had been
much too high. He said that he had
examined the companies' data care
fully and had made his own compila
tions from them and had discovered
that the average for the total of 837
engineers was $143.17 a month. Com
pared with a brick mason, or plaster
er, or steamfitter, or a plumber Mr.
Lauck declared that the engineer or
fireman was not highly paid.
Going into details, Mr. Lauck said
that the number of engineers earning
$150 to $158.33 was 6.77 per cent
from $158.33 to $166.66, 6.55 per cent
from $166.66 to $175.00, 6.17 per cent
or, between $150 and $175 there is a
group constituting about 19 per cent
of the total number of engineers em
ployed.
"Therefore," said Mr. Lauck, "only
25 per cent of the engineers earn more
than $175 per month, 50 per cent earn
less than $150 a month, and 25 per
cent earn between $150 and $175 per
month."
Regarding firemen, Mr. Lauck at
tacked the companies' statement on
this score and showed that 35.54 per
cent of Western railroad firemen earn
less than $75 per month that is, more
than one-third drew less than $75. He
added: About 55 per cent earn less
than $91 per month, 45 per cent earn
less than $83 and one in ten of the
firemen working in October, 1913,
earned between $91 and $100.
There was considerable testimony
respecting the probable betterment of
business, the brotherhoods showing
by quotations of prominent financiers
and railroad men that the outlook is
better also data concerning the de
pression of 1914 and the number of
men out of work last summer.
For an hour early in the week Mr.
Lauck, Mr. Stone and members of the
arbitration board discussed the effect
of the European war upon business
