DENY PRESIDENT
INTERVIEWS IN
CHICAGO STRIKE
Knapp Was
Summoned at Instance
of Railroad Managers.

CHICAGO, March 50. - Chairman
Knapp. OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission. and United States Commits
sioner OF Labor NeIH denied that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had interviewed in any
way TO avert the threatened strike of
5000 employees Of the Western railroads.
Mr.. Knapp said:
we came here in pursuance of the
provisions Of the Erdman law, at the in
stance of the railway managers. The
managers applied TO us 10 apply the law
to prevent a tie-up OF the entire West
ern country. That such a condition
would be intoleTable TO them and 10 the
business interests is obvious. 1t cannot
be permitted.
The Erdman law offers an easy So
luton out OF a difficult situation. Both
sides Of this controversy are reasonable.
and we hope successfully to apply the
law. IF the act is a remedy in the pres
ent case 1t may prove to be a panacea
for many of the labor troubles which
menace the tranquility of business"

Opposed to Arbitration.

P. II. MOrrissey and A. B. Garretson
explained the position Of the employees.
They contended that the employees would
not accept the wage increase proposed
by the general managers.
As to arbitration" according TO a
man close to the brOtherhoods. the
employees could not afford to leave to
outsiders, men who could not appreciate
the situation, the right to fix rate of
wages. If the controversy went to ar
bltration all that had been done in the
past three months would be wiped out
and the entire matter would have TO be
gone over again.
THE general managers would with
draw their offer, and the employees would
have TO return TO their original demands.
Then the result would be more doubtful
than il is at present. An arbitration

About Early Parties.


Parties among the young people of
40 or so years ago in Andalusia town
ship were numerous. There was no at
tempt to put on style at any of them,
but good cheer was always at those
gatherings and a good time was always
had. In the long ago | went to one of
these gatherings. 1t was a cOrn-husking
bee out on the prairie. A two-horse
wagon load of young folks, both girls
and boys, went out. When we got
there the boys voted that every time a
boy should find red ear of corn in the
husking, he was entitled to kiss the
girls. The girls voted against the
proposition, but the boys could shout
the loudest, and it was declared carried
We all gathered around the corn fod
der to husk. Whenever a boy would
find a red ear, the girls would run like
deers (dears) that they were, but only
fast enough to get caught.
One winter about 40 or so years age
/ attended another party in the village
of Andalusia. We went in the usua
lstyle of that day. We got pair o.
bob sleds, and put wagon box on tht
bobs and some hay in the bottom of the
box. On this hay buffalo robes were
spread, and ten or dozen young PEG

4 nTIH NnTTNN.

There Is a stir in Salt Lake City and other places in Utah over a measure pending in the legislature which makes the playing of bridge whist for prizes a felony punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary from two to five years. The new law is said to be a pet measure of the governor and sure of his signature if it gets to him. It has already passed the senate by an all most unanimous vote.
 Of course the way some people play bridge whist is felonious enough, but the Utah notion will seem little harsh to many. Playing bridge whist for prizes is sometimes intensely exciting land it is harmful to some who take part In it. Perhaps, though, if such a law as that proposed in Utah were made, the substitutes for bridge whist playing would be just as bad, and per haps the law wouldn't be thoroughly obeyed, or enforced. It will be interest ing to see what happens if there is such @ law.

SAD, WITH RooM FOR HOPE.

The reports concerning the condition and chances of the Yale varsity crew are more definitely sad and alarming than usual. But they come so early in the season that it is wise not to consid- CT them fatal. Yale is full of hope and effort, and by the time the race comes off it may be found that the Yale blue is not the gloomy kind. Much can hap pen between now and then. Perhaps Harvard may not be able to suit her self in all respects, and perhaps other things. So let us never say die until we have to and then say it slow.

AN IMPRESSIVE MESSAGE,

Governor Woodruffs message con- cerning agricultural matters will have general approval He wants more union, more de1niteness and more com prehensiveness in State work done for the farmers, and ne has set about get ting it in a wise way. Such a commis- sion as he proposes can do work whose benefits will continue for many gener- ations. Connecticut agriculture has been improved but it can be improved much more by having a proper system of instruction and guidance. And 1here can be no dispute of the truth of what the Governor says when he says this: The States agricultural college is seri- ously handicapped by it's unfortunate location, and is incapable of perform | ing that much greater service to the people which would be possible were it situated nearer the center of population and adjacent to railway facilities. The college is not only isolated in a remote spot, fit rather for an asylum or re- formatory, but it is not able 10 attract friends and students by its inaccessi- bility The mutual help which would be possible were the States Agricul- tural Experiment station and the coll lege more closely bound by location is largely lost. That sympathy in work and helpfulness of suggestion that come from frequent interchange of opinion, theory and experience is not possible in the case of the scientific To- search work carried on in both places by men of enthusiastic and self-sacri- ficing purposes.
 Governor Woodruff has been think ing to some purpose about Connecticut's agricultural interests.

IS 4Hls AN 1YDIcA1IHE BEANe

An Indiana woman reports that a bean which she picked on the day Bryan was nominated and which she preserved in the pod has turned green again and swelled, so that 1t looks as fresh as when it was picked.
 We don't know what this is intended to indicate or whether it is intended to indicate anything, but it is sure that Bryan hasn't turned green, or swelled' Perhaps the green and swelled bean means that he is going to have another nomination. If so the bean is early but earliness in such matters is desir- able. Bryan himself doesn't seem to know, though the bean may. Later on perhaps corn, potatoes or onions will have something to say about the mat ter in way that will be entirely plain. The magic name of Bryan may be found grown in, or on, all kinds of vegetables this year. If it Is there is only one thing to do and that is to consider his nomination sure.

MADE IN GERMANY AGAIN,

It's hard to beat the Germans. Ger man industry has won recently a re- markable success, despite the competi- tion of British, Belgian, French, and American builders. The movable bridge at Karakeny, which unites the suburbs of Galeta, inhabited mainly by the for eign and diplomatic colony, to Constan- tinople, is in a lamentable condition, as the result of it's age. For several years there was talk of replacing it with a new bridge. Bids, backed by valuable inducements, were rendered by several European contracting firms, strongly supported by the diplomatic representatives of their respective coun- tries. in Turkey Last year the French company of Le Creusot was considered to have the best chance to secure the building work of the bridge. Three weeks ago an imperial trade was sent to the German embassy, granting the concession, at the price of 100000 Turk ish pounds, to Augsberg and Nurem- berg contractors. Moreover, this amount of money, which the Sultan's treasury could not or would not procure, is lent
