Of this country declared II. y. Perham,
president of the Order OF Railroad Teleg-
raphers, before the United states Com
mission on Industrial relations, here to-
day. Mr.. Perham also read a report by
j. +. Riley, third Vice-president OF the
Brotherhood OF Railway Clerks, written
in 1912, which declared that a system Of
espionage, more perfect than the Rus
sian secret service" employed by the
Pennsylvania Railroad, enabled II to sub
vert efforts OF railroad employees TO or
ganlze into unions.
One paragraph in Rlleys report
aroused the interest Of the commission
particularly. II was that in which he
stated he had been approached on one
occasion by man, presumably a Penn
sylvania Railroad detective. who called
his attention to the fact that certain
labor organizers had mysteriously dis

report alleges.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad fur

the publication of Liberty Bell
Winners. There were 1913 winners
in the contest. The, greatest num-
from any one district was twenty
one and these were from Miss

ors with seventeen winners, while

Tho has reared a large family of
boys, several of whom are now
fathers of children. He complain
ed that not one of his sons seemed
to care to take charge of the broad
acres, he had secured for them
through years of hard work. He
was bitter against u system Of
life and said that everybody SEEM
ed to want to go to town to live.
We happened to know that this
same man had been opposed to
schools and school taxes all thru
the years be had lived in the dis
trict, and that six months school
with a poorly equipped teacher
was a luxury there. It was in
deed small comfort we could give
him iu his difficulty. His sons
realize that they are handicapped
in the race of life by their lack of
education, but they are not going
to pass the handicap on down to
their children. One mistake that
they are making is that they
should out-vote their father and
bring good school advantages into
their home community. There is
no place like the country for the
education Of their children. It
