Kind Words

A little word in kindness spoken,
A motion or tear,
Has often healed the heart that's
broken,
And made friend sincere.
A word-a look has crushed IN
earth
Full many budding flower
Which, had a smile but owes its
birth
Would bless life's darkest hour.
Then deem it not an idle thing
A pleasant word to speak.
The face you wear the thoughts
you bring
A heart may heal or break.

Wilson Betrayed Arbitration
The law creating the board Or mcdl-
alton provides that II mediation fails
the board shall devote all its ener-
giles to bringing about arbitration.
Mr. Wilson promptly ignored this
law. violating II in spirit. prciudged
the case and ordered the railways to
abandon hope of arbitration. He
further said that the eight-hour day
as wage basis had "the sanction oil
the judgment Of society" Once the
president OF the United States had
made such a declaration, the broth
erhood leaders could not accept less.
They told Congress that very thing
and said that If they accepted less
they would be branded as TRAITORS"
by their fellow workmen. OF course.
arbitration would not have given 10
Mr.. Wilson that labor vote which ne
hoped to gain by advocating the
eight-hour wage basis. any more than
would have settlement by the legal
ly constituted board of mediation
1t Will be found that Mr. Wilson's de-
termination to butt into the situation
and make of 1t an instrument to pro
, mote his own political fortunes was
the sole cause Of the acute stage of
the controversy and the Adamson
wage-increase law.

the mediation Of a president who was
actively seeking his own reelection,
and on the eve OF campaign. would
not thereafter let the board settle the
strike along lines Of strict justice and
lmpartiality. And no one can blame
them for preferring to trust their cause
