Al BURN. y. Y, February 1.-The iden-

be determined. Mr. Farrell said tonight.
Thorpe. however. is not bound by the re-
serve clause in the contract under which
he played with the Fayetteville, n. c.,
team. Secretary Farrell declared.
Thorpe signed contract with the
Rocky Mount. n. c., team in 1910 and
during the playing season was transferred
to Fayetteville. n. c. said Mr.. Farrell
in a statement tonight. Fayetteville
placed Thorpe on the reserved list, but
failed to resume operations in Fayette-

banded. This made Thorpe a free agent.

An Ounce Of Strike Prevention.

Chicago Record-Herald: In connec-
ton with the threatened strike on
f1fty-one railroad lines the familiar
talk is likely to be heard for some
time. This or that party cannot ar
bitrate; this or that demand is not to
be entertained for a moment; better a
strike than a possibility Of a COM
promise of the Observation-Disclosures
kind. .
The public does not believe that the
strike will be called. 1t does not be-
lieve that either the railroads OF. the
men will show themselves Indifferent
to the national interest. or to their
own interest. 1t believes that arbi-
tration will be .resorted to il direct
negotiations fail. f
But it is the duty of congress to ia
cilitate arbitration, or to remove OBJ
stacles in the path, by passing the bill
amending the Erdman act. Such &C
ton is earnestly advocated by those
most conversant with the facts. The
more satisfactory the arbitration act,
the less probable a serious railroad
strike at this juncture. Let congress
then, make the case for arbitration as
! strong as possible morally; public SEN
timent will do the rest. Ta

And each of the races now involved

one-time imperial grandeur that it is
doubtful whether a peaceful hegemony
