SCORES STRIKE ACTION
Picture Congress as in Fear and Trem-
bling Before Trainmen.

Fort Worth, Tex, Sept s.-H. N. Pope.
president of the Texas Farrners Union.
has given out the following statement
commenting on the eight-hour law passed
by Congress Saturday.
The people of this nation have during
the past week passed through the most
humiliating experience this government
has ever endured A few labor union
leaders have stood at the portals Of Con-
gress. demanding that government give
them ransom or they would wreck So
ciety.
This nation instead Of meeting the
situation brsvely. has delivered the goods
in fear and trembling. Our American
Congress has stood within the shadow
on the goddess Of justice and voted an
increase in wages to 1900 trainmen who
are the highest paid laborers in the world.
and never at any time mentioned the
$4,000 trackmen who are perhaps the
poorest paid workmen in the world and
who must subsist almost wholly upon the
crumbs that the trainmen leave upon the
table
When cotton was selling for cents
per pound two years ago and poverty
stalked over the Southland causing a
greater financial loss to the Southern
plowmen than the freeing Of the slaves
Congress confessed inability TO cope with
the situation and stepped aside. lettin &
this awful burden fall upon the backs OF
the tillers OF the soil. The organized
plowmen plead with Congress for relief.
but We were told that Il would not be
constitutional for the government to un-
dertake to fix the price OF cotton or to
advance money on cotton in storage and
that Congress was a slow-moving body
and could not meet emergencies"

London. Sept. 3.-That mothers must
eat their babies before the Turkish
government will give aid to prevent
death was the edict of the representa-
tives of the government in Syria, &C.
cording to a writer who has travelled
over the districts from Aleppo to Jeru-
salem. Had II not been for the aid
given by Syrians in America the raw
ages OF death would have been more
terrible, but as 1t is thousands died
from famine. The writer adds:
Everywhere I was confronted with
the most revolving sights of famine.
disease and misery. 1t is no exagger-
alton to say that two-thirds of the
inhabitants of the villages in the
neighborhood of Jerusalem. Ramallah,
Ettaibeh, Elbrich. Belt Safafa Selwyn,
Belt Hammer and Biz Zeit died OF hun
ger and typhoid fever.
Grain Embargo Causes Famine.
1T was a black day when Enver
Pacha arrived in Syria. He issued an
order absolutely forbidding the i'm
portation of wheat or any other grain
into Lebanon, and the effect was that
the dearth In Lebanon soon developed
into general famine. Some of the
sheikhs and leading religious men ap-
preached the Lutasarrif of Lebanon,
praying him to take pity and inter-
cede with the government to save the
remnant OF the people from starvation.
He answered brutally. Have mothers
been eating their children YETI
NO they replied.
well, then said he, there can't
be any famine"

off his coat, Warren threw himself
into chair by the window, too tired
even to wash up.
While he sat with his back toward
her and his feet on the windowsill,
Helen, dressing with noiseless haste,
still listened tensely to the raised
voices in the next room.
