Federal Inquiry or
Railroad Strike?
Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen
that would1 impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of
$100,000,000 a year, the railroads'propose that this wage problem be settled by
reference to an impartial Federal tribunal.
With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads
have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such
a public body.
Railroads Ur&e Public Inquiry and Arbitration
The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of
the controversy is as follows:
"Our conference* have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our difference* of opinion and that eventually tht
matters in controversy must be pasard upon by other and disinterested agencies Therefore, we propose that your
proposals and the ptoposition of the railway* be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods:
T Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of ita
•(cumulated information bearing on lailway conditions and its control of the revenue of tlie railways^!* in a posi-
tion to consider and protect the rights and equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue
necr?*sar\ to meet the added cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to be just and
ic:i>onable, or, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises,
that we jointly request Congress to take such action as may be necessary to enable the Commission to consider and
promptly dispose of the questions involved; or
1 By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Newlands Act).
Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote
Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New
York, June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration
or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether
authority shall he given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike..
The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the
publje body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons:
No other body with inch in intimate knowledge
ot railroad condition, hat tuch an unquestioned posi-
tion hi the public confidence.
The rate, the railroad, may charge the public for
transportation are now largely fixed by this Govern-
ment board.
Out ol every dollar received by the railroad, from
the public nearly one-hatf it paid directly fo the em-
ploye, a, wage,; and the money to pay increased wage,
can come from no other tourcc than the rate* paid
by the public.
The Interstate Commerce Commission, with its con-
trol over rates, i, in a position to make a complete
investigation and render such decision as would pro-
tect the interests of the railroad employes, the owners
of the rkilroads, and the public.

A Question For the Public to Decide
The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage, preferment of
$100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting only
one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that
shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts.
The sniffle issue before the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by an
impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.

OUR FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS.
Hod Tongs, Long Exposures and ths
Ordeal of Looking Pleasant.
All event was the taking of the
first photographs in the olden days,
when photography was still ham-
pered by pitchforks and long ex-
posures. There are few good baby
pictures of our futhers. The fond
mother and fat her sit bolt upright,
frozen or petrified, while between
them is a very starchy little dress
surmounted by a very blurry little
spot which represents a composite
of several partial likenesses of the
hopeful.
But it was with the child of ten
or twelve years that the old time
photographer succeeded best, the
child that has reached the age capa-
ble of feeling the tremendous re-
sponsibility of having a picture tak-
en. Every old album, such as used
to grace the center table in the
front, parades before you a long ar-
ray of these conscientious young
people undergoing the terrible or-
deal of “sitting.” Loving mothers
spent hours combing those smoothly
plastered locks tightly hack and
binding them uncompromisingly be-
hind the irreproachable ribbon
bows.
At the last moment, after the op-
erator has screwed the iron fork
tight up behind the trembling head
and lias pushed the huge camera
hero and there, ducking in and out
pmler the black cloth in a most
awe inspiring manner, mother has
slipped into range and given just
one more pat to the starchy skirt-
anil one more tug at the big sleeves.
Then there came the awful com-
mand, “Look pleasant,” which the
victim did by a remarkable effort of
will, usually attaining somewhat the
expression which conies over the
face of a strangling cat. Five min-
utes later the “artist” announces
thut “that will do.” and the family
feels tlio same relief that comes to
friends with the announcement that
the ‘kpatient lias survived flie op-
eration and is resting comfortably.”

Quill Pan Economies.
As an instance of the economy.of
the quill pen the story is told of
Dr. Warner, who was in a Strajd
stationer’s when some one came in
and bought a hundred quills fdiap
shillings. The doctor gflcrwurd dtr
claimed against such extravagance
and stated that he had written hf
“Ecclesiastical History” (two vs!
limes) 'and “Dissertation on tt^
Common Prayer,” both first ant
corrected copies, all with one single,
quill pen, and that an old one be-
fore lie commenced the worksl
was soon known as Single Pen War-
ner, and it is related that a certain '
countess begged the pen from Dr.'■
Warner, placed it in a specially
made gold ease, had its history en-fo
graved outside and added it to her5r
cabinet of curiosities. — London
Chronicle. . 's
A Serious Dafsct.
A woman crossing in a ferryboat
told a deck hand that she wanted to
see the captain when the boat reach-
ed the slip and make a complaint.
When the captain came the woman
said: “I want to make a complaint
about those life preservers in the
deck ceiling. Just look at them!”
“Well, what in the world is tho
matter with ’em, madam?” asked
the captain, as lie looked at them.
“Matter with them?” echoed the
woman, “don’t you see that they’ro
dirty? . They ought to be washed.
If a woman with a nice dress on
had to put one of those dirty things
on over it it would never be fit to
wear again.”

The Times believes that soon

must go into Mexico and straight
en out that warn-torn country.
What Mexico needs most is
something to eat, a cleaning up
and the establishment of a stable
government. She cannot get
these things tinder present con-
ditions, and the raids of Mexican
bandits on American soil has
about reached the limit of en-
durance. The battle .between
Carranza’s men ana our boys

brought the situation to a criti
col point. State militia of all
the states have been called out

that Latin American countries

Six Cents and a Dollar.
A young man once went with a
millionaire to buy a pair of suspend-
ers. “We’ll have to cross the street,”
said the millionaire. “We can buy
them 6 cents cheaper over there.”
“Cross the street to save 6 cents!”
exclaimed the other. To winch the
millionaire replied bv taking out n
silver dollar and twirling it. “Young
man,” he said, “do you know that
one of the hardest things in the
world is to make that dollar earn 6
centa in a whol* year ?*’

and their sole mo.ive. patriotism, form a vast, flexible organization, such as
the world has never known.
