COS Split Their Blood.

To Herald. Leakesville, Miss.
We arrived at Chattanooga next
morning after leaving home. Left
the train and it seemed that we
would never get out of the crowd,
gathered around the depot.
We finally got clear of the moving
mass OF people and began to look a.
round where to go and also looking
for some one to meet us and for
sometime we didn't see any one we
knew and l felt like lost sheep in
the wilderness, but very soon Mrs.
Lackey was hugglng and kissing us
with might and main. We were
both glad to find some one to lead us
out OF the multitude of people. Soon
we were directed to a street Car and
soon was flying toward the home OF

RAILWAY STRIKE
WOULD INFLICT
STAGGERING LOSS
Would Cut Farmers Prices, Stop In.
dustry And Face Cities With
Starvation


New York.-On one point related to
the demands of the unions Of train
service employees for a heavy increase
in wages the sentiment of the general
public has been expressed in no un-
certain terms. That is on the ques-
ton Of a strike.
Declarations have come from every
quarter that an interruption of trans
portation will not be tolerated by the
public, but will call forth drastic ac-
ton. The enormous injury to the
country that would result from a ma
tion-wide strike of train service EN-
ployes is discussed by writer in
the March National Magazine, from
which tile following extract is taken:
What such a strike would mean to
the American people cannot be set
forth in mere facts and figures. 1t
can be dimly imagined by those who
realize what an intimate and vital
part railway transportation plays in
every Industrial activity of the coun-
try.
There is scarcely a person in any
part of the land who would not be
of busily turning wheels ON our
nearly three hundred thousand miles
OF railway We're to stop for a single
Gay. II the ue-up continued for a
week, the blow to the industry Of
the country would be greater than
that caused by any panic of recent
history. To the big cities of the coun-
try, and particularly to the cities of
the eastern seaboard it would mean
cutting off of the food supplies that
would place the inhabitants virtually
in state of siege. In the case of
many food products these cities do
not carry on hand a stock sufficient
to feed their people for more than
week, and in the case of some, such
as milk and fresh vegetables, supplies
are repenished daily. The stoppage
of transportation, therefore, would
mean suffering and want to these city
dwellers, and if continued for long
would threaten many of them with
actual starvation.
To the farmers of the country q
general railroad strike would be a
catastrophe, only less serious. Cut
off from his market, the farmer couls
not move his produce. and the price
OF grain and other staples would be
quickly cut in two, which the market
value OF more perishable articles
would disappear entirely. The great
industrial plants of the country would
soon be forced to close down follow.
ing the declaration of a strike be
cause they could not obtain supplies
needed for their operation, nor could
they ship their finished products to
market Their plants would soon be
idle, and millions of men would be
thrown out of work. With the in.
come of practically every class OF
citizens either seriously cut down or
suspended entirely, merchants would
transact little business, because there
would be few purchasers. In short,
the industrial activities of the whole
country would be virtually palsied
from the moment the railroads ceas.

FOLLY IN DEMAND
FOR SHORT TRAINS
MADE BY UNIONS
Might Just AS Well Ask Country To
Return To Sailing Boats
And OK Carts

Washington, d. C.-To the public
that pays every dollar of the railroad
bill (and forty-fye cents of every dol
lar paid for transportation is fol
wages) the leaders of the four
brotherhoods of railway employees,
who are demanding increased pay,
say: "All the railroads have to do
to meet our demands for higher
wages is to shorten their trains, move
freight more rapidly, and escape the
penalty of overtime wages
The fallacy of this statement, which
is the last-ditch argument used in
support of the demand for increased
wages, is well shown in the following
editorial which appeared in the
Washington, D. G. Times of April 49,
under the heading "A Mad Freight
Train Idea"
Everybody, in the ranks of the
general public will agree with the
railway managers that the campaign
which the railway workers are wag
ing, particularly in the west, for short
er trains, while at the same time de
mandlng higher pay and fewer hours
of work, is of all possible claims the
most prepesterous. Indeed, in econom-
les 1t is an ideal little short of mad
The railroads have spent hun
dreds of millions of dollars lowering
grades, eliminating sharp curves,
ballasting roadbeds and putting in
heavy rails, so that powerful loco
motives, larger cars, and longer trains
could be handled in one movement
III this object hadsn been achieved
railway wages never could have been
advanced to the point at which they
already have arrived and traffic rates
never could have been held down
where they are today without the
whole railroad system of the United
States being made a financial wreck
ANY child can see that if, after
the principal railroads of the coun-
try have been reconstructed to haul
the heavier tonnage in mass, you cut
every freight train in half, the cost
of operation must be increased stu.

where one now does. with two engi-
iiremen where one now does, with
two conductors where one now does,
with virtually two whole train crews

the new equipment and the new ter
minal facilities that would be needed
This proposal is not essentially
different from urging that the world

BIRD PROTECTION.

BY DR.. r. M. trong. Prof of Anatomy
1t is generally recognized by those
who have studied the subject care
fully, that most birds are important
aids to agriculture through their
feeding habits. Birds are more
active as group than other animals,
and they consequently eat more.
Practically all birds, require some
animal food, and this consists most
ly of insects. The insects most
often chosen are those most available
according to the habits of the spe-
cies Availability is more or less
colncident with abundance.
When insects become unusually
abundant, they are what we call
pests, for then they become large
consumers of vegeta bles which in
cultivated regions consist mostly of
farm and garden crops. 1t has been
shown. by extensive study. OF the
stomach contents of birds, that with
few exceptions, the more abundant
the species of insects becomes, on the
whole, the more often it is eaten by
these birds, which Enthusiastically
feed upon it. Of course. insect pests
have other enemies than birds, but
birds are especially important enc
mics of insects.
The native seed eating birds have
been shown to more than pay for
the relatively small quantities of
grain they destroy by eating large
amounts of weed seed. The latter is
more accessible, a paren I'll v
g d bic, and to b b a d
throughout the year. Even the
hawks and owls are mostly more
valuable because of the pests they
destroy than they are harmful in
their occasional capture of small
chickens.
In some states, much progress is
being made in bird protection, but
we still allow men to kill the quail, q
bird at the top of the list ia useful
ness to the farmer. No one WHO has
had the experience will dispute the
pleasurable and health giving fea-
lures of hunting quail. We are,
however, sadly deficient in resource
fitness, if we cannot get as much
fun and wholesome exercise in other
sports without causing so much
damage to agriculture For those
who must hunt with guns. there are
rabbits with no such claim to pro
lection as the quail. The field glass
and camera furn sh just as much
pleasurable excitement and whole
some interest in tramping the
fields. and woods as the gun and they
involve no SHOOTING accidents.
The small boy egg collector is an
other nuisance In every community
probably and certainly, in those the
writer has known well, the bird life
OF the region is seriously reduced by
egg hunters.
Parents should not tolerate the
practice. The gain to the boy is
tritllng, and the damage to bird life
irreparable.
