Willoughby acknowledged that. There
was nothing for it but to bivouac for
the night, and trust for better luck on
the morrow.
1T is impossible for me to describe
for you the sufferings of that terrible
night. We gathered such stones as
we could find on the narrow mountain
ledge, and placed them as protection
against the biting wind. We consumed
the last morsel of food We had al

close to each other for warmth. We

PUT RELIGIOUS DUTY SECOND.
Itern Laws of Business Come First,
Says Austrian Court.

An interesting case at law, which
centered on the observance of an old
Jewish custom. was decided in Vienna
recently. A merchant, says the Ameri-
can Israelite, discharged a clerk on ac-
count of neglect of duty. Among the
charges against him was that he came
to the store late in the morning be-
cause he attended service at the syna-
gogue in order to say Kaddish-the
prayer for the dead-for his father.
The clerk argued that it was his privi-
lege and his duty to say the prayer for
his departed father, while the mer-
chant, who was also a religious MAJ,
maintained that IF Moses had known
that a man had to pay 5000 gulden 4
year rent he would have made differ
ent laws" The judge would not allow
such an argument, but decided in ia
vor of the merchant, because the
daily attendance at the synagogue
could not be considered the right Of
the clerk without the consent Of the
employer"

RAILROAD
SOLUTION

Chicago, Mar. ga dispatch from
Washington to the Herald says it is
understood that the Interstate Com
merce Commission has finally hit up
on a plan for solution of the problem
of relieving the present crisis in the
railroad situation by bringing about
practical cooperation between the
railroads and the Federal govern
ment. The plan which is being con-
sidered and has practically gained
the approval of the Commission and
the President is the appointment of
western interstate traffic commits
SiOner to represent the Commission,
with headquarters at ST. Louis or
Chicago. This man is to cooperate
with the public and the railroad Off
cials in obtaining reasonable rate
adjustments and to adjudicate all
matters now in dispute. 1t is believed
this would stop the flood of hostile
legislation against railroads in the
West and establish more friendly re-
lations with the railroads on the part
of the government.
