RAILWAY LABOR TROUBLES.

There Is unquestionably deep feel
ing of uneasiness regarding the present
aggressive attitude OF labor, coming at
a time when business and economic
conditions are so unfavorable to MAX
ing further concessions, says Henry
Clews The difficulties with labor ap-
near to be chiefly confined among the
railroads, and have been greatly slim
ulated by success of the labor agita-
tion I'm England. The conditions on
both sides. however, are vitality differ
ent. American railroad employees have
already received liberal advances In
wages; and the inability Of the rail-
roads TO secure better rates. coupled
with a general shrinkage in the vol
ume Of traffic. renders the position Of
the companies a very discomforting
one. on the other hand the British
railroad employees were poorly paid,
and have had no advance. although the
British railroads had been enjoying
period OF more than average prosper
ity. The demands Of the English en-
ployes were supported by degree Of
reasonableness. which does not exist i'm
the demands OF American railroad la
Dor. Should our American employees
insist upon forcing their demands, the
results cannot but be disastrous both
to themselves. the railroads and public
interest in general. The railroad situa-
ton is one which requires great tact
and forbearance on both sides. Each
should make an effort to learn the sit
uation affecting the other. and each
should show a Willingness to look at
affairs from the others point of view.
Both combined must hold In due re-
gard the interest Of the public. which

against the Oriental beverage of

hand, the bitterest invectives coming
from the pulpit. One leading minister
characterized 1t as "{he sirup Of SCOT

it might bear the devils own color"

TOOK LOAD OFF HIS MIND.
Some One Told J. E. Scanlon He
Had Been Sued for Divorce.

A similarity of names in a petition
for divorce, caused ]. E. Scanlon all
sorts of worry and trouble, only to
learn that he was not defendant in
the action. Scanlon has been resi-
dent of Topeka and an employee of
the Rock Island more than 20 years.
In February, he went to Kansas City
to work for the company and his wife
and children went to Amarillo, Texas,
to visit Scanlon's mother.
Last week a petition for divorce
was filed in the district court. The
names were similar to those of Scan
lon and his wife. Someone sent
Scanlon a newspaper clipping and
very courteously notified the railroad
company that Scanlon, an old and
trusted employee, would not support
his family. Then Scanlon came to
Topeka and investigated. The man S
voice choked when he told of the
week of grief and humiliation because
of the petition.
There has never been a bit of
trouble in our family that 1 know Of"
said Scanlon, land I can't understand
why my wife should want a divorce.
I haven't heard from her for more
than two weeks and you don't know
how I have suffered
Then it was learned that Scanlon's
wife was happy and contented and
that he was not the defendant in the
action. Scan1on took deep breath
and smiled his first real smile in seven
days.
Say, but that's worth a lot to me-"
said the. railroad man, as he started
back to the shops. land I sort of feel
that I can work better today"
