REA GIVES STATEMENT Says Higher Wages, Higher Taxes and Recently Enacted Legislation Forced the Adoption of Policy. Richmond railroad employes are Btill suffering with employes of other divisions as a result of the retrenchment policy of the Pennsylvania lines. Today another number of employes, both office men and road men, will be laid off. Many of them have been given furloughs of two and three months. In a statement made public today, President Samuel Rea of the Pennsylvania declares that higher wages, higher taxes and recently enacted legislation are the principal causes of the decreases in net operating revenue which has necessitated the retrenchment jolicy.

It is planned to increase the number of suspended employes to 25,000 and by tomorrow, April 1, the company announces at least sixty-two trains curtailing the service over practically the entire system, will have been discontinued. President Rea's explanation of the policy is appended: "The decision to reduce train service and working forces of the Pennsylvania system, while apparently sudden, should not be considered surprising, as the published monthly statements of the system have shown the large decreases in net operating income the System has sustained. "Higher wages, extra crew and othr .laws, higher taxes and other expense items caused the decreases, which are not peculiar to the Pennsylvania Railroad. These causes still exist and in addition the gross revenues of the system have been steadily decreasing since last October. "While many other railroad systems Ijegan to reduce forces in the middle of 1913, the Pennsylvania system continued its usual train service and working force as long as possible. "fn view of the fact, however, that 4 41 a . i j: t no m nil iuur iiuuins t'uuniK rt-u. -o, 1914, compared with the same period of the previous year, operating revenues decreased $8,815,991 and net operating income decreased 56,652,671, the company is compelled to reduce operating expenses. "The falling off in earnings and traffic demands lower operating expenses, and the only way to bring these absut Is to reduce train service and the number of employes."

ASOUITH RESIGNS; SEEKS RE-ELECTION Firm Hand of Premier Missed Today When Home Rule Fight Resumes.

LONDON, England, March 31. The firm hand of Premier Asquith was missing when the fight was resumed as he resigned his seat In commons to seek re-election so as to make his double portfolio premier and war secretary legal. Sir Edward Grey, the foreign minister and a man of little personal magnetism, was in charge of the government's affairs in commons in place of Mr. Asquith. During his campaign for re-election from East Fife, a district he has represented in parliament since 1886, Premier Asquith in his political speeches, will go fully into the army crisis which arose from military officers refusing to take the iefld against the Ulster Orangemen. By these explanations he hopes to strengthen the government's position with the people. Although the Unionists will make a strong fight against Premier Asqulth's re-election, leaders of the Liberal party believe the premier will be returned by a big plurality. Confers With Seely. Mr. Asquith called at the war office during the morning and held a conference of several hours with Col onel J. E. B. Seely, whose resignation as secretary of state for war was accepted yesterday. Later the premier conferred with Sir Edward Grey on the course to be pursued in parliament tonight. The latest resignation expected from the complicated political situation Is that of Viscount Morley. lord president of the council, who probably will be forced from public life as a result of the army scandal. Lord Morley is accused of misrepresenting the cabinet's policy in regard to the army officers in Ireland, although he is not accused of doing so with irregular intent. It was reported that Sir Arthur Paget, commander in chief in Ireland, resenting the declarations of tho Liberals in regard to the controversy over the "people versus the army," has either resigned or is contemplating resignation. The resignations of ! Field Marshal Sir John French, chief of the imperial general's staff, and Adjutant General Sir John Ewart, were still in tne hands of the cabinet today, both officers renewing their deI termination to quit the army council because of "misrepresentations. An hour's session of the cabinet was held at which there was an animated discussion over the proposed retirement of Viscount Morley. Viscount Morley had announced his intention of making an official announcement in parliament and to explain his part in the army affair. The lord president of the council expressed strong desire to be allowed to explain that he had acted through an error of judgment when he co-operated with Colonel Seely in giving instructions to army officers in Ireland without the knowledge of other members of the cabinet.

Soda For Gas, Acid Stomach or Indigestion j Ges, Gas, Gas When everything eaten turns to gas and we eructate sour food and acrid fluids it means we are troubled with acidity, says a noted authority.

He further states that those men and women troubled with chronic acidity and its resulting Indigestion, Sourness and Gases should take one 10 grain Sodagen tablet regularly after meals for a period as this antacid is entirely harmless, being composed of Soda, Magnesia and Calcium Carbonate, U.
