Government ND
IN WAGE FIXING
IS URGED
B. C. Forbes Predicts Amendment
Of Erdman Act viii Bring
Industrial Peace.
BY 3. c. FORBES.
Arbitrators should arbitrate.


Too often they seek only to reach
q compromise. to "split the differ
enoe," regardless Of the merits Of the
case. This is a convenient peace at
sny-prIee nnakeshIft. But it is not al
ways justice. It is a policy provoea-
tive Of strike threats. It is an invi-
tation to workers, ASK and ye shall
receive" Il does not make for per-
nanent peace, but intermittent dis
turbsnoe.
The Eastern railroad dispute is to
be arbitrated--as was forecast in this
column last week. Without betray-
ING condolences, can now say with
out danger that not few railroad
managers were inclined to accept the
conductors and trainmen's challenge
this time on the theory that employees
would 90 on and on demanding in
ereases In pay 50 long as their
threats succeeded in wringing con-
eessions. Under the Erdman Act
there was nothing but compromise,
not genuine arbitration, they COM
planned.
The Newlands bill. which has been
rushed through Congress and i'm
nnedistely signed by President Viii
son, ought TO work equitably. Il
provides for a quasi Government
board, and its rulings will be exc
euted by the Federal courts.
Briefly, there is TO be a Omitted
States Board Of Mediation and Con-
citation" composed of a saIaried
commissioner. to be appointed by the
President, and two other Govern
mont officials, this board to arrange
for the selection Of either six or three
arbitrstors TO settle dispute and TO
pass upon any engagements among
the arbitrators.
The Government enters so init
rnately into the regulation Of bust
ness to-day that it should have a
voice - and responsibility in set
Ting controversies between employ
srs and employees. Railroad income
10 virtually fixed by the Government,
through the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Hence Il lie fitting that
the Government should be a party
to any dispute over the rate Of wages
to be paid railway workers. The
Government fixes freight and passen-
ger ratsS Very WE'LL let IT assist in
fixing rates Of wages.
Then there mdp be harmony be-
tioeen tohdt the railroads are per-
mitted to earn aud iohdt they are
forced TO spend.
Railroad wage disputes do not con-
Germ merely those taking part, the
managers and the men. There are

REM|N|SCENCE Of 1870
Poem Written Years Ago by Former
Resident Of Pine River

The following poem was written
by George Pitt, father of the late
VIM. Pitt, and read by the author at
versary of the marriage of Mr.. julius
Mey and Miss Bremen. Mr.. Pitt
during his life as pioneer in Gratiot
county met with much favor because
of his literary productions, not only
in this community, but throughout
the state and country.
Some nine and twenty years ago,
and on a certain day,
A young man left old Prussia, and
his name was Julius Mey;
He settled here in Gratiot, and
bought himself home,
But soon found that it was not plea
SAINT for a man to live alone.
And | think some two years later,
from Germany there came
A young and lovely maiden, Miss
Bremen was her name;
And she also came to Gratiot, and
I've heard people say,
She soon became acquainted with
this young man, Julius Mey.
Now Julius told this maiden he would
settle down for life,
And build a home and clear his land,
if she would be his wife;
So she listened to his story and many
more besides,
Till at last she did consent to be
his own, his lawful wife.
Now perhaps some here will recollect
this country then was new,
And houses then were far apart, and
settlers very few,
But they had splendid wedding,
though few people were there,
But the Rev. Mr. Meisler made one
this happy pair.
For it was at Mr. Meisler's house,
they were made one for life,
And Colonel Elye, he was there, and
Mr.. Cruett and his wife;
l-lhCWlSC oOlllC Ilhldil wal Win
maidens dusky brown,
For this couple were married at a
place called Indian Town.
The groom looked young but manly
and he had a foreign air;
And the bride was young and lovely,
wreath was in her hair;
And the guests, though few in num-
Der, said they had a pleasant time,
Attending the first wedding that ever
happened on the Pine.
Is. s.s1 8. - sS,ssi @ y s ss = 3.
Now many years have come and
gone, each with it's cares and joys,
And the same people have been
blessed with lovely girls and boys,
And if these girls should marry
and of course we know they can
May they be lucky as their mother
was, and get as good man.
ga a. ...Ssys $50, -
Now those boys I'll have to mention
in these simple lines tonight,
And l hope they always will be good
and try to do what's right,
And be kind unto their parents as
they journey on through life,
And do as we'll as their father did
and get as good wife.
'-.' --,' s4>.'rtz issFe ~ tssgs-S-s o-ss
Now I've told you of wedding in
my simple style and rhymes,
And I'll tell you when it happened
for l think I know the time,
And if my memory is correct, it's
five and twenty years
Since Miss Willemene Bremen was
made Mrs. Julius Mey.

"Ho Hum" LATEST Man Runs Away From Work

he demanded that his wife perform
the task for him, but she refused.
She resolved to break his two years,
rest, so caused his arrest. Judge Sa-
bath after hearing the story ordered
Friler to sweep the street In front OF
his home every afternoon.
Friler remembered somewhere in
his past studies that he had read
something about "cruel and unusual
punishment" Going to his home from
the court room he dug up an old his
tory, which contained the constitution
of the United States
Nothing doing" he muttered 1.-THE
constitution says no Judge shall in
f1ict a cruel and unusual punishment,
and if that sentence don't come under
that head, then l don't know any
thing"
He put on his hat and coat and dis
appeared. Shortly afterward his wife,
returning from the court room, found
there we're no piles of street dirt in
front of the house, and that her ami
mated spouse was gone. She asked
the police of the Shakespeare avenue
police station to look for him. He
will be arrested on sight, given ham
mer, and seated by the pile of rocks
at the bridewell. His vacation will
then be ended.

Connecting Link Between Opposite
MentaIities

The women themselves are as op-
posite mentally, as the atmosphere of
the room they live in. One studies.
The other does fancy work. One
wishes with all her soul that she
was capable of doing great deeds.
The other is serenely satisfied to let
things go as they are.
And they are such good friends that
they take tea with each other, eve
nings, and have friendly powwows
that both honestly enjoy.
None of the other boarders In the
house could understand the friendli-
ness between two such apparently
uncongenial women until a third wo-
man ferreted out what she believed
to be the cause
Working on the principle Of that
early wise man, that all humanity is
bound in common chain, with its
connecting link visible to any eye
sharp enough to find it, she looked
the two rooms over. And she found
them alike in one small detail. On
the wall above each bed hung a small
crucifix.
1t was the link between.

Crusade Against Dogs Baked When Owners Cry

I INDIANAPOLIS. 1ND.-Mayor Shank,
l who made known the other day
that he had signed a contract for a
vaudeville tour, proved his ability to
tour some" when he took twenty
minute ride with city dog catchers
and superintended the capture Of five
dogs. He boarded one of the city dog
dog-catching game with Gusto. But 1T
did not last. His objection to the
dog-catching was not due to any par
ticular dislike for the excitement.
What got on his nerves was the spec
.acle of the child owners of the dogs,
who threw their arms around their
pets and begged that the unlicensed
outlaws be spared.
Mayor Shank took no active hand
in the proceedings further than to
superintend the job and hold the horse
from his high seat on the wagon. The
job was undertaken by the mayor per
sonally, because he had boosted that
each wagon and it's crew should catch
rs dogs a day. The mayors record
out-classed his prediction wonder
fully.
Those fellows are down there
drawing a salary of $25 week." de-
clared the mayor. 'Tll bet they don't
catch that many dogs in year.
know that I can catch that many dogs
in one day and l am going to show
them how to do 'er."

that on dark day, they say. The rec
ord for the day is AZ dogs.
Walters was bitten on the hand by
q poodle during the "Shank crusade"
but suffered no i'll results from his ex-
perience except the joking which the
mayor, who had ensconced himself on
the wagon seat and taken no active
hand in the proceedings, was inclined
to give him. The dog landed safely
inside the wagon, however.
Gosh, that's a rotten game" de-
clared the mayor after his return from
the ride Il would rather catch a
'speeder' any old day in the week than
hunt poor little dogs. Then, when the
little children ran out and hung on to
the dirty little ours, why just want
ed to let them alone. The grief of
those poor little kids just made me
want to quit. 1 told the driver to
hustle me to the police station"

III AsH1NGTON.-Just as the day
w shift Of the Capitol police force
was about to knock of duty at dusk the
other evening an automobile rolled in
to the driveway, under the house
steps, and middle-aged man and a
young 7oman got out and walked
br1skly through the doorway. One of
the officers on the door stopped them
and politely gave the information
that the time for receiving visitors
Tor the dag was over.
For q moment the man hesitated.
Then, from behind him there stepped
put hurriedly much younger man,
who said something in a low voice to
the officer. The latter's manner
changed Immediately. He grabbed his
cap from his head, and, bowling low,
said:
Come right In, Mr.. PRESIDENT
i just thought I would like to look
over the new seats in the house."
said President Wilson with a smile.
The officer led the way to the eleva-
tor, and they were lifted up to the
next floor. They walked through the
corridor, and came to the members
lobby. There they discovered that the
doors leading to the house chamber
were locked.
The officer hurled back downstairs
to the sergeant-at-arms' Office to get
the key.

TWO women board in the same

has her personal treasures set on
walls, shelves and tables in the ''furn-

In one the decorations run to Rem

a winged victory on bookcase, a
couple of handed-down brass candle
sticks and squatty Chinese god that
once had it's day in museum.
The walls of the other room are
broken out in the rash of popular"
art that includes a chrome Beatrice

other of that especially rigid George
