Bill For Federal
Strike Mediation

The stan of the United States Com
mission on Industrial Relations has
drawn up and submitted to the Com
mission tentative draft Of a bill
creating a national board OF media;
ton and Cancellation to deal with ali
strikes and loekouts in any part OF
the country that seem likely to in
Volye the federal government.
The draft fill be sent out othe pub
lie with request for criticisms, and
in the public hearings of the Com
mission, beginning in New York next
Monday, criticism and suggestions
will be asked for.
The bill provides strictly for volun-
tary Cancellation, and expressly denies
to the Board any compulsory powers
OF arbitration or prohibition Of strikes
or lockouts. nj this respect it avoids
all conflict over any question Of state
or interstate jurisdiction.
A memorandum accompanying the
bill points It hat within the past
year Congress has been called upon
to investigate strikes in the three
states OF West Virginia, Michigan
and Colorado, and that in the latter
state federal troops had to be called
in. All Of those strikes involved In
terstate shipment of gunner and
strike breakers. s .s
4 precedent for q federal commits
siod is found in the Anthracite Coal
Ctrfke Commission of 1902, which set
tied the great strike in Pennsylvania.
It Is pointed out that all efforts at
Cancellation in recent strikes have
failed and that If the federal govern
ment is compelled to intervene after
matters have reached a crisis, it is
advisable that the government should
have permanent board, representing
the entire nation and having the con-
fidence of both employers and em-
nloyes, to interven at the very incept-
ion Of such disputes.
The bill is modelled somewhat after
the plan of the Newlands act Great
ing the present board of Cancellation
and mediation for dealing with dis
putes on railways. The great success
OF both the Erdman and NeWlands
acts IN preventing strikes, suggests
that similar agency might prevent
other strikes, or at least proven their
reaching such . crisis Of violence and
bloodshed as occurred in West Wiz
ginia, Michigan and Colorado.
The Commission has authorized ex-
tensive investigations of the workings
OF other boards Of mediation and con
ciliation in the various states and in
foreign countries, and the tentative
bill is the frN result Of these investi-
cations.
One Of the important features Of
the bill Ii its plan for cooperation
with state boards Of mediation when
ever such exist, and its plan for join
ing with such boards in any section
OF the country for united action when
ever a dispute extends beyond the lin
it's Of. a single state.

CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS
Mountain States Company Advocates
Commissions.

Denver. Colo. Feb. l0-Great interest
was manifested today in the announce
ment by President Field Of The Mountain
States Telephone & Telegraph Company.
that he IS in hearty accord with the plan
for the control of the company he repres-
ents by State Utilities Commissions elect
ed by the people. The company. whi5h
operates in the seven mountain states, is
one of the biggest public serving corpora
tons in the country. and this announce
ment. coming as it does, in the midst Of
public dstrust of all corporations, shows
broad. far sighted policy that is doing
much toward bringing about spirit Of
confidence in the company and its opera
tons.
The annual report to the three thou
sand stockholders gives the oompany's
balance sheet and shows the growth Of
the telephone business in the territory. 1t
contains much of public interest and
shows the healthy condition of the COM
pany and its affairs.
The report in part says: "On December
5l,l9l5. we had in our territory $40
exchanges furnishing service to 1000 l6
exchange stations; there are 22.556
stations connected with our system on the
lines of competing companies, making
total of 222.5z2 subscribers stations in
service an increase of 1854 during the
year. The total miles of exchange and
toll lines were 55S,666 ,0e, an increase Of
52.o4z,l6 miles for the year. Total
miles of exchange and toll wire UNDER
ground were le6,zzs. %. There are in
the territory of the Mountain States sys-
tenn 55l joint telephone and telegraph
Offices, affording facilities to the public
much better than those formerly enjoyed.
Two thousand three hundred sixty y-fve
male and zo4 female employees made
possible the handling of l.os5.444 ex-
change messages per day. and lS.5oz
outgoing toll messages per day. and were
paid for their services the sum of S5.e2l.
ZS2 during the year.
TO close this report without reference
to the loyalty and hearty corporation
of our o69 employees would be unfair.
both to them and to the stockholders.
whose interest they have so thoroughly
at heart The benefit plan referred to in
the report of last year has proven en-
inently satisfactory. and has. am positive
cemented the harmonious relationship
between the operating force and the in
vestor."
For some months The Mountain States
Company has been telling the story Of its
operations, in advertisements and in
letters to its subscribers, and the con-
firmation of these statements by this
report is dong much to create confidence.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1914-02-13

"And it always will be-"
The foregoing aphorism may have
been true hundred years ago. but it is
sadly off the mark today.
Everything today seems to points to-
ward better and more moral world.
The people. the books. and the modern
drama have something to do with the
uplift OF the nation.
Perhaps one of the most notable plays
which has tended to point the way is
Little Lost Sister, dramatized by E. E.
Rose from the adventures of Miss Vir-
ginia Brooks. in private life known as
Mrs. Charles S. Washburne, wife of a
Chicago newspaper reporter. who has
now arranged to publish her life story in
book form, under the same title as the
play.
This play tells in straightforward.
truthful manner, the underlying cause.
the effect, and the conclusion Of a mis-
led life. 1t shows how easy it is to 60
the wrong way and how hard 1t is to get
back among your old friends. 1t is true
to life in that it points out the great
