+, Looking ct the question from an i'm
partial standpoint. we are of the opin-
Ion that the railroad representatives
did not act in good faith with Gov.
Eoerhart and the representatives OF
the striking switchmen. They should
have known that the switchmen belong
to a union organization and that as
such they would not accept such a
proposition. The representatives Of
the railroads are evidently determined
to break up the union. Every switch
man who threw up his work ought to
be taken back and the temporary
strlkebreakers should be Discharged.
One of the railroad representatives
says he is not opposed to the union,
out as a matter of fact some of the
switchmer on strike are incompetent
and gave poor satisfaction in the dis
charge OF their duty and hence they
would not be taken back in any event.
II these switchmen were incompetent
before the strike, why not have dis
charged them for the safety of the
public? Has the public any right that
railroads are bound to respect? It an
pears not.
The pastors of PROTESTANT churches
In Minneapolis have addressed an open
letter to the railroad corporations in
volved in the strike after they had
first invited their representa- tives to a
conference to hear their side of the
case. OF course, the pastors were
treated with silent contempt. What
do railroads care for preachers Of the
Gospel? These good men charge, in
part, on the statements made to them
by the switchmen that:
you have made no provision for a
man to have one day of rest in seven,
and it is impossible for him to take it
and hold his position.
You are paying IS cents per hour
for expert service which involves it's
subjects in such danger that Is out
OF every 100 of them are either killed
outright or mangled for life, leaving
only % per cent to die in natural
way.
"They declare that such holidays as
Christmas. the Fourth of July, etc.,
are never granted them. One speaker
said that in 80 years of service with
a single road he had spent but two
Christmas days at home one 81 years
ago, and the other this year. while on
a strike -.
The railroads, up to time of going
to press, have not condescended to
acknowledge the open letter of the
Protestant ministers in any way. The
representative Of the switchmen, H. B.
Perham, has gone to the nations cap
ital to lay the whole matter in dispute
before President Taft and the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and to
ask them to use their good Offices in
preventing a general strike. but we do
not expect he will succeed in his mis-
sion. ihe time is fast approaching
when the government must establish
an arbitration court for the prevention
and settlement of strikes, as they do
in the Australian colonies. The sooner
that is done, the better all around.

The Roman correspondent of the

works recently published on the Eter-
nal City, one by an Englishman and
the other by a Frenchman. The lat
ter is enthusiastic and apostrophises it
thus: 20 Rome! Rome, the happy,
the fruitful, the fortunate. o thou
my longed-for city, my 'Urbs' my true
city, take me into thy eternity. o my
supreme friend!" The Englishman, on
the other hand, begins his book with
abuse Of the living and the dead. He
attacks Victor Emanuel and his monu-
ment and calls Plus VII, one of the
most sanity of Popes, thief. AmerI-
cans know how English writers who
visited the United States have pic
tured them in their books. Even Dick
ems caricatured them, but he had the
decency to apologize afterwards. The
average Englishman sees nothing good
in foreigners. He is too insular in his
views.

At last the boat crept out into the

At least two of the occupants opened

WASHINGTON, June 23.-President Com
pers of the American Federation of Labor
and other trades leaders, urged on indi-
vidual members Of the rules committee of
the house today the passage of the Stan
ley resolution directing an investigation Of
the so-called steel trust"
The labor organizations virtually notified
congress that unless the Stanley measure
was passed by the house the republican
party would be held responsible in the
November elections, The labor advocates
were advised to act quickly by arranging
hearing before the committee.
Another proposition the labor leaders
are interested in is the Hughes amend
ment to the sundry civil bill virtually
exempting labor organizations from prose
cution under the antitrust and Interstate
Commerce laws. The matter is now in
conference over an instruction Of the house
to its conferees to refuse to concur in
the senates striking out of that amend
ment.

(From a Staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Neb., June 23-(Special Tele-
gram.)-In his welcome address to the
bankers of Group /, of the state, who met
here today. Mayor Love said he had no
objection to people betting money among
themselves or playing games of chance
for money in their homes. What the peo-
pie of Lincoln object to, he said, is the open
saloon and the open gambling house. He
was telling the bankers what had been
done in a moral way for Lincoln, and he
began with the abolition of the open sa-
loon and the public gambling. After say
ing they had no fight with the man who
did his drinking at home, he said:
Twenty-Five years ago in this city,
in common with most other cities, there
were numerous gambling houses. We con-
cluded that the open gambling house was
a nuisanse and after several years of
agitation and struggle we succeeded in
abolishing it. Now that does not mean that
we wish to interfere with men who wish
to bet money among themselves. People
may play games of chance in their homes
for money II they wish. We do not at
tempt to break up ladies' bridge games
and such things as that, but we do say that
the public gambling house is nuisance
a danger and menace to the community and
therefore it must be abolished"
