AGREE TO MEDIATE
 COTTON BELT ROW
Railroad and Men Agree to Abide by
 Decision of Judge Chambers.

St. Louis, Aug. 9.-Judge William l., Chambers of Washington, mem- Der of tine recently created United States Board of Meditation and Con- ciliation, here today in Hotel Jeffer- son, started a hearing in connection with a dispute over rules governing service of trainmea on the St. Louis Southwestern Cotton Belt) railway. Representatives of both the railroad and trainmen have signed an agree ment that they will abide by his findings.
 The mediator said this is the first case he has handled in which both sides at the outset have agreed to abide by his advice. In other cases disputants have reserved the priv ilege of resorting to subsequent arbi- tration if his advice was not satis- factory. The matter laid before Judge Chambers already has been arbi- trated unsatisfactorily by confer ence of railroad officials and train- men.
 The trainmen are seeking increases in pay by new interpretation of tho rules. In the event they perform two distinct classes of service and are paid different scales of wages on one run, they ask that the higher wage instead of the average wage apply for the entire run. They also ask additional pay for switching in mak- ing up trains at town en route,
 Judge Chambers said the situation on the Cotton Belt was peculiar be- cause so per cent of it's traffic orig mates on it's own line. He said some other lines pay wages under the sys- tenn asked by the Cotton Belt. A. w.. Sullivan, former general manager or the Missouri Pacific, and General Su- perintendent Neff of the Cotton Belt appeared for the Cotton Belt and for the trainmen F. \. Berry, vice pres ident of the Order of Railway Con- ductors; J. A. Farquharson, vice president of the Brotherhood of Rail- way Trainmen, and F. A. Burgess. assistant grand chief of the Order of Railway Engineers.

one of extreme interest The State De- partment made a special request to the Bureau of Education to secure the desired instructors and the country was secured for suitable men by that bureau. But it was found that those who were qualified in every other re- spect had not scholarly enough un- derstanding of the Spanish language to fill the positions.
 And in another instance the Amer ican Minister to Panama sent word to the United States that a number of professors in industrial arts, agricul- ture and veterinary medicine and surgery were needed in the Isthmian Republic, and that the positions, pay ing good salaries, would be given to Americans. These opportunities were lost by American industrial experts because none knew the language.
 The learning of the Spanish Ian guage is on the increase, however, &C., cording to the Commissioner of Edu- cation. Courses in Spanish have ben available at many schools for sev- eral years but until recently students have not availed themselves of the opportunities offered for some req son. But with the coming to the fore of the Latin American countries through recent strengthening of the relations with this country, many per- sons are seeing the wisdom of master ing the tongue of the southern coun- tries.
 More Spaniards and South Ameri- cans are coming to this country now than ever before, and therefore the chances to converse with persons who speak the language naturally are becoming more frequent. Also the Panama Canal has aroused interest in South America which has had the ef- feet of stimulating interest in the lan- guage of that continent
 When the Canal is completed the relations between the United States and the South American countries probably will be as close if not closer than the relations between the United States and the nations of Western Europe.
 The Bureau of Education advises the learning of Spanish.

boulevards, in short everywhere peo- pie of consequence congregate, par ticularly people with governmental connection, members of Congress to the fore. He is we'll posted on all subjects, has nice taste in political gossip and can tell a tale, salt or parlor. and dress well. He has the peculiar gift of placing gleaming white and jet-black sable ill juxta- position and making you see as he would have you. He can amble along line of argument, absolutely at variance, perhaps, with the actual premises and yet in such ridicul- ously lucid manIer, that you follow his reasoning as easily as you would follow the trail of sprinkling wa gon.
 Also he knew men. Some there be, he would tell you, should he grow garralous, who cannot be bluffed now argued from their set path. With these he takes a clear cut position; declares himself an agent of certain interests and (who can telD makes propositions Others are children in his hands; will come around to his way of thinking with ease and apolo- gize for even having held any other views; others may be approached on sentimental considerations; patriot ism is a fair tool with some and oth- CTS may be browbeaten to advantage.
 But he must be able to appraise his men at glance.
 So then the lobbyist is man high ly skilled and certainly most dan gerous. Approaching member of Congress in the most casual manner he starts out to talk about something totally foreign to his case. and then, by leading the way with exquisite dexterity, guides his man into the proper channels and succeeds in
 convincing him, and, maybe, the
 member of Congress will not discover
 that he has been in the spider net ot
 an adroit lobbyist.
 The lobby is aI institution which
 has come to stay. About two years
 ago, Speaker Clark, addressing a
 good roads convention in Washing ton, advocated Hobbies as necessary institutions. He declared they should be open and work legitimately and be subject to regulation, but stated that l the lobby has place at the capital
 as surely as the members of Con- gross, themselves. He advised the
 convention, then urging road legis- l lation by Congress, to establish a lobby ill Washington.
 l Other public men have expressed similar convictions. So it seems
 that the lobby has come to stay, perhaps, under stringest regulations
