Rail ROAD CRISIS
IS AT STANDSTHLL
Some Of the Railroad PreSi-
dents Look upon the Posi-
biIity Of Strike as Remote.
SCENES ARE DRAMATIC
Railroad Presidents Are Still
Firm in Their InSiStenCe
for Arbitration.

WASHINGTON Aug l9-PreSluent
Wilson appealed to the railroad otfi-
pials today to abandon their insist
ence on arbitration Of the dispute
threatening a nationwide strike and
10 accept his plan of settlement, al
ready agreed TO by the employees,
because in his opinion the railroads
are contendlng for plan which 1t
seemingly is impossible to apply on
the present situation.
In one Of the most dramatic scenes
known to the White House in recent
years, the president declared to the
heads of five hundred billion dollars
worth of properties, assembled at his
summons: IF a strike commences
the people will know where the re-
Bponsibilty rests. 1t will not be upon
me" A few minutes Iater he issued
statement saying, "the public has
right to expect acceptance Of his
plan"
No Final Answer Yet.
Refusing acceptance for the pres
ent, but not giving final answer,
Hale Holden, president Of the Bur-
thirty-three railroad officials, urged
Iington road and spokesman for the
the president to uphold the plan OF
arbitration and declared that his
nlap would place in peril all that
has been accomplished in the peace
full adjustment of labor COntrover-
sizes by methods OF arbitration. !"
At the close of the conference Mr..
Wilson summoned to Washington ad
ditional railroad presidents from the
West and East. Executives already
here told him they would confer
among themselves and return next
week, probably Monday. In the mean
time, representatives of both the
roads and the employees will remain
here for informal conferences.
Not Hopeless But Grave.
The situation tonight was describ-
I'd by railroad president as mot
homeless but grave" 1t will be at
standstill until Monday at least. Dis
russion Of counter proposals and
compromises was current and serious
consideration was given to the posi-
bility of government operation of the
roads in case Of a strike. AS a re-
suit Of the days conferences, 1t was
stated on good authority that many
Of the road presidents looked upon
The possibility Of strike as more re-
mote than at any time since they
came to Washington.
over the weekend it was antici-
pated that the railroad officials will
get into communication with the con-
rolling financial interests and 1t still

The Pity of It.

Mr.. Mann OF IlShOmngO cOun-
ty, Miss, is a member Of the House
of Representatives in Mississippi.
In his official capacity, he made
a speech the other day, when a
bill was pending proposing to ap-
propriate money from MISSISSIPPI
PTS treasury, to be put with mon
ely appropriated by the Federal
Government, to maintain the Fed
eral Farm Extension service, and
the organization of poultry, corn,
and pig and canning clubs.
Mr.. Mann is quoted as having
said, in the homely language of
the farm, from which he is said
to have come.
Il don't want much Of that in
mine! | haven't no confluence IN
these book farmers. I know it
takes hard licks and plenty of 'em
to make a living on the farm. |
don't want nobody at s. a day
riding about my place a-trying to
teach me how to farm -
And the happy House cheered
merrily. Miss Susie V. Powell
and R. S. Wilson, the two farm
extension workers, who had ex-
planned their methods to the men,
bers, were all abashed.
And the bill was voted down.
New Orleans Item.
1t is really pathetic to hear a
man calling himself farmer and
representing that great class OF
intelligent people upon whose
shoulders rests the foundation of
the government, standing up IN
the legislative halls Of the state
and giving expression to such
silly rot as that quoted above
from Mr.. Mann. If his constitu-
ents approve his views then we
have very much misjudged the
people Of Tishomingo county.
Every farmer in this country is
producing on the same land from
| two to three and some Of them
four times as much as they did 20
years ago. The increase is the
result of intelligent farming
which has come from scientific
knowledge properly applied. And
the greater part of this knowledge
has come to the people through
the agencies of the United States
Government. The Government
has spent millions Of money max
ing experiments which the indl
vidual farmer has not been able
to make because he had neither
the money to spend or the time tt
| lose.-Southern Sentinel.

troyed by fire last night between

NAMED at the store until a late
hour, and going home had built
a fire and prepared supper. They
retired early, and were asleep
when they received the report

been the result of a spark from

in which they were sleeping was
burning immediately over their
bed when they awoke.
The family had little time to
escape from the burning building,
and it is thought that if a hose
could have been gotten to the fire
promptly, the fire could have been
cXtinguished.

is expected that decrease in the

but inasmuch as there is thought
to be much cotton yet unmarked
