"One need not approve OF every

dismiss apprehension as to the effect
of the two great acts which have
passed congress, but one must admire
the zeal, the labor, the persistency,
the fidelity, the purpose of the leaders
and the rank and file. Particularly
does President Wilson merit the com
mendation of everybody who believes
in strong conviction and sagacity in
converting such conviction into work
ing fact. What must one award to

in and year out this question Of a
change in our financial system was a
prominent one in its counsels; year
in and year out it talked and tax ed
but did nothing. 1t was this somnol-

nominate the presidential candfdat,
that the people evidently wanted, that
defeated them. 1t is now an open
question whether herea ter there will

DOUBLE COUP

[Units .ss Leased Wire servicel
ST. is, Mo-, Dec. z9.--Freight
and nger trains on the Frisco
rail- ystem are being operated by
telephone exclusively following the
lockout OF 400 telegraph operators,
who are threatening to strike and the
removal of telegraph instruments from
stations throughout the system.
The double coup of the railroad in
locking out its telegraphers and ar
ranging for telephone service for dis
patching trains dumbfounded the
telegraphers. They apparently had
not expected the Fricso to make a
move until after a conference between
the grievance committee Of the Order
of Railway Telegraphers and the rail-
roads receivers today in st. Louis.
Whether members of the Order OF
Railway Telegraphers would be in
contempt of court If they carried out
their threat to strike for an increase
in wages and other concessions from
the Frisco railroad, loomed as large
Iquestion when the representatives Of
the union gathered In St. Louis for g
conference with the receivers Of the
railroad system.
Plans have been laid for the appli
cation to the United States court fo'
several hundred special deputy Unit
