STRIKE May
Be CALLED
Construction of the Adamson Eight
Hour Law Under Discussion
al New York.

Danger of a nation wide railroad
strike, which was believed to have
been averted by the passage of the
Adamson eight-hour law, has not
entirely disappeared, it developed
Monday, when representatives of
the railroads and the four brother
hoods, comprising 100000 employees,
failed to reach an agreement as to
the proper application of the new
law. The stumbling block, both
sides admitted, was the existing
mileage system of compensation.
The announcement of the latest
deadlock between the railroads and
their employees came at the conclu-
sion of an all-day conference be-
tween national conference commit
tees of the railways and the broth
erhood chiefs, which had been ar
ranged in September.
1--WE met" said Elisha Lee, chair
man of the railroad managers and
the conference, ''for the purpose of
exchanging ideas on the applica-
ton and operation of the Adamson
law. We failed to reach an agree
ment and we are not certain that
another meeting will take place.
William G. Lee, president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
spokesman for the employees in the
absence of A. B. Garretson, of the
Order of Railway Conductors, de-
clared in statement that in the
event of evasion by the railroads of
the Adamson law, summary action
would be taken by the brotherhood.
He said that the strike order, which
was directly responsible for the
law, was still in effect and the
brotherhoods would not hesitate to
enforce it if the occasion warrant
ed it.

HIGH SCHOOL WINS AGAIN

The Mt. Sterling High School
foot ball team won another victory
Friday afternoon when the strong
Frankfort team was defeated by the
score of 7 to 6 in one of the most
interesting and exciting games seen
on local gridiron in long time.
The boys put up brilliant exhibit
ton, the playing of Blevins and
Chenault was especially worthy of
mention. Porter Huls scored the
only touchdown for High School on
a forward pass in the last quarter
with only four more minutes to
play.

very easy to neglect them. Other
matters seem pressing; more import-

the most important task and the most

1t is every fathers duty to think
of this and to question himself Is he
meeting his responsibilities or neglect

though it might be no harm for him
to remember how much by his failure
