That is what w. J. Mcmillan, presi-
dent, Great Northern Railway Veter-

have worked for more than 25 years,

to The brotherhoods, they will stay by
the road"

nesday announced a pension system

to take effect Sept. 16.
Louis w. Hill made the following
statement:
81 cannot help but feel that we are
approaching the parting of the ways,
and this through no wish Of mine. My
assoc. ations with them have been in
innate and personal. We have all
worked together trying to solve the
same problems, and up to the present
we stand before the United States
quite as successful in our efforts for
luc upDulluluS VI tuc western COuuLIy
as any railroad in the United States.
"My thoughts and efforts for years
past have been to build up the bust
ness for the employment Of our men,
and to increase the requirements for
their service through the developing
of our own business and our own ter
ritory in the various states through
which we pass. In all this we have
for years past had their most loyal
support, and ! cannot look forward
with the same enthusiasm to the con-
tinuing of this work iwth a new force
of younger and less experienced
men.
ION the strike situation l believe
the public is becoming much more
familiar with the subject every day
and arriving at abetter understand
ing of the very complicated question,
a question which it will unfortunate
ly probably take congress some time
to carefully review all sides of. This
question reaches far beyond the rail
roads themselves"

development of its agricultural re-

to come in the district proposed will
be most marked in the western part

be because I am tired of it. I'm forty
now, but I'm going to stick in the big
leagues for five years more. At forty
five, then, l think I'll be prepared to
stay at home. Pitching is job. It
must be studied by the pitcher. He
must study the other fellow, the bat
ter, and then give him what he knows
he cannot hit. That's the way have
pitched for Is years. The fellow with
the fast ball will last longer than the
one with the curve. I'll pitch five fast
ones to single curve or slow ball.
But the winning pitcher must have the
combination. He must mix 'em to
the batter. Control is the biggest
