relieve the engineers in the normal
course OF work OF excessive strain.
and that there had been no change
IN working conditions, since 'the last
wage adjustment, now requiring adj

that they were financially unable to
meet the increased compensation
asked.
These requests upon one side, and
and their general refusal upon the
side, with no proposal for mod a.
cation Of existing rates or pay or
rules OF service, placed the problem
before the board OF determining

present arbitration. involving as it
did concerted movement affecting
fifty-two railroads, represented "a
new phase OF development. The
railroads involved operated G6,S16
miles of main track in 1910. or more
than one-foprth of me total mileage
of Amer can railroads. Their annu-
al operating revenues exceed ST..
100000, 900, or nearly forty per cent
of the total for all American rail-
roads. Theysearrlsd nearly one-half

If an effective railroad strike had
occurred in the eastern part of the
United states, it not only would have
been disastrous to the railroads and
resulted in great losses to the en-
g.neers, but would have meant
loss to the public vastly larger than
that of both parties to the conflict.
A successful general strike in the
eastern district would have put that
great section of the country in much
the same situation as France was
place a few years ago. when there
was genral railroad strike in that
country.

who can show her the way.
One of these little Dora wives had
reached the brink of matrimonial I'M
happiness and her feet were already
trembling over the dark waters.
Her particular David had always
been the most devoted husband, until
lately. when he found his home occu-
pied by a mother-inlaw, a sister in
law and various other relatives of his
wife. Dora had weakly allowed this
heart could not bear the idea OF saying
mo" to any of her kin. The conse-
quence was that her husbands home
no longer belonged to him, and being
very uncomfortable place, he avoided
it as much as possible, and Dora looked
out of the window and watched for
him. until an older woman Of her own
kind came and pointed out her failings
You'll have to choose" said the
older Dora, whether it is worth while
sacrificing a perfectly good husband to
the Whim of your own family. You
chose him, and it is up to you to stick
to him. You have virtually given his
house away. His wifes time no longer
belongs to him. so, naturally, he doesn't
come back. If you prefer the others,
go with them, but this is a house di-
vided, which can not stand, and you
will be the loser"
And little Dora gathered up her cour-
age and gave formal notice to her rela-
tives that the house was David's. and
ne would have to come first They left
in high dudgeon, but happiness and Da
vid returned.

WEDDING OF PROMI-
 NEWT YOUNG COUPLE

MT. F. Edgar Lowe, the popular young society man of this city, VI united in marriage, Saturday, Sep tember 2S, to the equally popular young lady, Miss Catherine Stark, daughter of MT. and Mrs. H. M. Stark.
 The ceremony was performed by Bishop Atwood, of the Episcopal church, at the residence of the brides parents.
 The ceremony was strictly pri- vate affair, only the immediate family of the bride and necessary witnesses being present.
 After the ceremony the bridal couple quietly slipped away to the depot and departed on No. 3 on a wedding tour through southern Cal ifornia, where they will visit Red lands, Los Angeles, San Diego, Coronado Beach, Cataline Island and the various teaches adjacent to Los Angeles.
 The quietness and secrecy of the wedding came as great surprise to the many friends of the couple in Williams, and it is understood their home coming in about two weeks will not be quite so unob. served, for their friends are plan ming to give them quite demon strative reception upon their ar rival, and it is also hinted that the young boys of their acquaintance are gathering all the noisome in struments available and will bt ready with tin can serenade fol the young couple.
