Outcome of Government Print
ing Office Trouble in Doubt.

Washington, July 25-The local
branch of the International Bookbind-
ers' union held largely attended meet
ing last night to consider what action
should be taken in the event that w. A
Miller, the assistant foreman of the
bindery at the government printing Of
flee, returns to DUTY, as he has expressed
the intention of doing today. The meet
ing discussed the matter for three hours
and then adjourned.
An impression prevails that Public
Printer Palmer will find some solution
of the difficulty. This may be reached.
it is said by a suspension of Miller from
duty for a few days, until the charges
filed against him by the union are III
vestigated. The members of the union
could then return to work without vio-
lating their constitution. which inhibits
their working with a member who has
been expelled.
1t has been stated that the members
of the union would walk out of the
printing office if Miller. who has been
expelled from membership, should re-
turn to work. but President H. NJ Bar
rett was absolutely non-communicativ
on the subject. He would not give the
least intimatiOn of what was done at the
nesting, saying he believed that nothing
should be said while there was a possi-
bility of the adjustment of the differ
ences which would arise in the event
that Miller returns to work.
Miller appeared at the government
printing office yesterday and today will
report for duty under instructions of
Public Printer Palmer. The civil ser
vice commission issued a certificate of
reinsta tement which reached the public
printer and Mr.. Palmer announced posi-
lively that in accordance with the order
Miller would return to work unless
there was meantime some executive or
der to the contrary. which he said was
very improbable. He declined to dis
cuss his policy further and said that
he did not believe the bookbinders would
walk out
Secretary Cortelyou has advised the
bOokbinders' union that the charges
against Miller are matters for the con-
sideration of the public printer, as they
involve an employe of the latter's Office.
He also has advised them that the
questions settled by the presidents or
der of reinstatement and the charges of
unfitness as an employe now pending
are separate and distinct subjects, the
former being regarded as a closed in

GENERAL ARBITRATION
Will Be Forced by Public Sentiment
Saws Mr. Cleveland.

New York, July 25.-That the force of
public sentiment will lead to general
arbitration of labor disputes is the DO
sition taken by ex-President Cleveland
Words on Labor Troubles which APP
pears this week under copyright in Col
lier's Weekly. The national Characters
tic of underlying common sense, he
maintains, will force a change of the
present attitude assumed by capital and
labor. and that ultima tely patriotism
and the general sentiment of all classes
viii prove irresistible forces working
toward Cancellation through arbitration.
I'VE have all loved to think of Amer
lean patriotism" writes Mr.. Cleveland.
we know patriotism is not dead, and
is still able to foster and bless the best
American citizenship but is there not
reason to fear 1t is so weakened among
those enlisted in contentious between
employers and employees that they either
are unconscious of its restraints or seek
to avoid its exactions by giving lodg-
ment to the deludin- notion that their
quarrels do not concern the general
good?

fidence of all concerned. The National
Civic federation and similar organiza-
Illustrated the beneficent uses of such an
intermediary. Many labor troubles are
prevented and many settled through
their interpretation. Operating on the
same lines, we have seen voluntary ar
bitration resorted to by contesting par
ties of their own motion.
These forces of patriotism and public
sentiment may sometimes sleep, but
when thoroughly weakened they are ir
resistible for rectificatiOn of any wrongs
that menace the nations integrity or
the peoples welfare. If those who con-
tend in labor cuarrels fail to find for
themselves the path of peace and quiet,
we need not despair of a remedy. We
can hopefully await the hour when the
patriotism of the people will be aroused
to the consciousness that danger threat
ems the republic, when public sentiment
shall search out the right and wrong of
labor disputes and adjudge that they
shall no longer breed terror and hatred

Says Orient Will Have a Kansas

Graders Now at Work in Chase
County.

The Kansas City, Mexico & Orient

make the distance from Kansas City
to the City of Mexico only ZOO miles.
or As hours ride, as against 50 hours
now. The new line will be in operation
from Kansas City within eighteen
months.
The entrance to the City of Mexico
win be accomplished by the building OF
a connecting line from point on the
Orient system in Texas, probably San
Angelo, to Eagle Pass, where 1t con-
meets with the Mexican International
railroad. From Eagle Pass to the City
OF Mexico the route is by way of the
Mexican International railway to Mon
terey and thence to the City of Mexico
by way OF the Mexican central ran
road This road has lately been
changed from a narrow gauge to
STANDARD gauge system.

road while in Wichita d few days ago.
gave the following statement as to the
progress OF work:
There seems to exist a feeling or be-
lief that the Orient road will never be
built from Wichita to Kansas City. 1t
graders IS now at work at the little
town OF hatfield Green, in Chase
county. The grade will be started from
this city and northeast toward EInporia
and from there il will be pushed toward
Kansas City. AS soon as the busy sea-
son OF harvest work is over, the grading
forces now at work Will be doubled and
work begun on new contracts.
When work is done on this end of
the grade it will be started from this
city and worked east and north until
1t connects with the grade that will be
extended this way from Chase county.
This end of the line from kansas
City to Lone Wolf, O. T, consisting of
400 miles will be completed first. and the
material will be hauled over it to con-
etruct the other end. The road from
Lone Wolf to the coast will be LOO
miles long. A slight delay has been
caused on the section between Carmen
and Fairview in Oklahoma on account
of inability to have orders for material
filled on time, but we understand work
viii probably be resumed there today
and pushed to completion. The material
for a 1000 foot bridge a that point was
the principal cause of the hindrance. In
Is months the road ought to be operaI-
ing from Kansas City to San Angelo,
Texas.
The Orient road will be the shortest
line to the coast byr 500 miles. The point
where it touches the coast is $50 miles
east of Salt Lake City Utah. This
statement will make some people look
at their maps. but they will find it is
true. 1t is the shortest route from Wich-
tia to Kansas City by q miles"

Blockade in Freight at Wichita.

Wichita, Kan, July 25.-There are
estimated to be between 125 and US
freight cars tied up in the local yards
of the Rock Island and the employees
report a blockade on. since early last
evening. Heavy movement in all kinds
of freight has caused the blockade and
it was started last evening when two
trains arriving from the north tied up
for rest. Caldwell is the destination Of
the two train crews and they took
charge of the trains at Harrington.
Owing to travel being so heavy which
makes it impossible for any kind of
time TO be maintained. at the time of
the arrival here the crews had already
worked over the usual time of their trip
between Harrington and Caldwell and a
rest here was imperative.

oklahoma Needs Cars

Guthrie, o. T., July 25.-On the Ok
lahoma division of the Santa Fe, there
is a shortage of cars which is causing
the company trouble and at once is
seriously hindering the plans of Okla
homa faymers. 1t is reported as being
almost impossible to secure cars in
which to load the grain. All the farm
ers who can do SO are holding the
wheat, but on many farms there is not
the room to store the crop and the sur
plus should be shipped Immediately.
At Bliss it is said the wheat from the
''101" ranch has been stored in the ele-
vators until there is no more room, and
about fifteen carloads are piled on the
ground. Similar conditions exist at
other points along this division.
