A Sad Blow

Everything in the dear old vii
lage seemed the same to Jones aft
Ter his absence of four years. The
old church, the village pump, the
ducks on the green, the old men
smoking, while their wives gossiped
it was so restful after the rush
and hustle Of the city. Suddenly he
missed something.
Where's Hodges windmil1?'' he
asked in surprise. 81 can see only
one mill and there used to be two =
The native gazed thoughtfully
round, as if to verify the statement.
Then he said slowly:
"They pulled one down: there
weren't wind enough for two of
'em. Good Stories.

RAILROAD QUESTION
LOOMS UP ONCE MORE
Senate Committee to Meet
Monday to Act On Strike
Illumination

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE railroad
question loomed up again today az
threatening to overshadow, as it did in
the closing days of congress, all other
questions before the administration.
Conferences in New York between
the railroad heads and the brotherhoods
heads over the operation of the Adam
son law, providing the eight hour day
having failed to bring an. agreement
the administration is keeping close
eye on developments.
1t is the belief here that no com.
plete disagreement can result between
the employees and the men, with con.
sequent renewed call for strike, with
out interference by President Wilson.
The question of strike prevention is
expected to be foremost among those
discussed by the joint house and senate
committee, headed by Senator New
lands, when it begins meeting here next
Monday. This committee, appointed be.
fore the recent crisis, will hear argu.
ments for and against various arbitra.
tion plans.
Just in advance of the, committee IS
sessions, the national labor council and
the chamber of commerce of the United
States will discuss the same questions,
Many members favor legislation that
would make a conspiracy to interrupt
public service" crime.
They suggested legislation to permit
labor to appeal to the interstate com.
merce commission just as a shipper can
appeal in the case of rates, and permit.
ting him to cease work, say, within 80
days after a decision of the commission.
These ideas are embodied in the call for
the councils meeting made public to.
day Union labor will fight them bit
terly.
Newland IS committee also will have
many other phases of the railroad ques.
tion before it, including state versus
federal regulation. Meeting here to.
day. state commissioners from all parts
Of the country threshed over this ques-
tion. For the most part, the state com.
missioners are inclined to resist the
movement toward strengthening federal
authority over railroads, at the expense
of lessened state control. Chairman
Meyer of the interstate commerce com.
mission, in welcoming speech to the
state commissioners, urged closer CO.
operation between his commission and
the state commissions.
