PRESIDENT WILSON TO
BE STRIKE ARBITRATOR

Indications are that there will be no
general railroad strike and that some
method of arbitration will be adopted
to settle the differences between the
railroad employees and their employers.
No agreement has been reached up to
date, however.
President Wilson, in person, will act
% strike arbitrator to prevent the
strike that threatens to tie up COM
pletely all railroads of the United
States, and which is of international
import. at it would prevent shipment
OF munitions to the warning nations of
Europe, if this is necessary as a last
resort.
1t now seems probable that pacific
will be the method pursued to adjust
the differences. A recent statement as
to what the men want and their grounds
for asking it, sent out with official sane
tion, says:
Railroads have increased their rev.
nue. enormously without increasing
the expense of moving a train.
"The work of train crews has in
creased without preportionate increase
inpay.
lone crew is now doing the work
that formerly was done by two or more
crews.
Freight train employees must work
days, night, holidays and Sundays, and
have no regular hours and little time at
home.
Crews now work twelve to twenty
hours a day.
Their occupation is more hazardous
and their productive years much less
than the average wage Garner.
More than SO, 900 train men are kill
ed and injured every year. The aver
age working life of an engineer is only
1lh years.
Tractive power of locomotives has
increased 80 per cent. capacity of
freight cars 30 per cent, number loaded
cars in q train % per cent, tons carried
in loaded cars 10 per cen anc tons car
ried BY the average freight train Al per
cent.
Revenue per freight train per mile
has increased 100 per cent.
Freight train crews are producing
double the revenue for railroads, work
Ing longer hours and twice as hard as
formerly. Even with q shorter work
day of eight hours, the freight train
crew Of today can move a greater ton.
mage than same crew moved in 10 hours

Railroad train crews are not paid a
fixed salary. They are piece workers
q are only paid when hey move
freight trains from one end. of a divis-
ion TO another.
They desire q revised schedule based
On the moving of q train 100 miles inside
of eight hours, They also ask for over

NATURE KEEPS HER SECRETS
Interesting How the Progress of Evo-
luton Went On Through the
Centuries.

No generation can discern its evolu-

own or any other race.
Evolution is always an unconscious
process to the participants therein.
The remnant of despised lsrae!ites
fleeing to the desert from the tyranny
of Egypt looked hopefully toward
promised land which would be walled
in from the outside heather by separ
ating rites and strictest regulations.
The wandering Jew did not suspect
that his grandest prerogative was to
be. not the exclusive ownership of an
earthly paradise, but the transmission
of his monotheistic conception of the
deity to alien races until finally it
should encompass the globe.
When the African savage crossed an
unknown sea, mourning his dusky
brood. his sun-baked hut. the idea
could never have entered his thick
skull that a cruel wrong to himself
and his countrymen would be over.

Day after day she is forced to work
and very often the burdens she is
forced to carry are disgracefully
heavy for a woman. But what else
is there for her to do? She has no
housework to perform. She cannot
read. She is not educated, and she
has not been taught to think. If the
right to work in the fields were denied
her she would be the most miserable
creature alive. These things must be
viewed from the Chinese and not from
the western point of view.
Every writer on Chinese matters
makes mention of the filial respect dis.
played by Chinese young people. Yet
| it simply does not exist. They are
misled by the fact that ancestors are
worshiped and old people revered. 1t
has to be said of the Chinese peasant
that he never allows his old father or
| his old mother to starve so long as he
has handful of rice to share. There
are no poorhouses for old people in

PRIZE HISTORIC PENS
COMPETITION FOR THOSE USED
TO SIGN TREATIES.
Most keenly Sought After viii Be
the One Used to Affix Signatures
to Document That Will End
Present War.

Who will get the pen with which
the peace treaty will be signed which
shall end the present war?
The collecting of historic pens has
been quite fad for some years past,
especially in Europe. The pens with
which peace treaties are signed bring
the highest prices if they happen to
find their ways into the market, and
there are many collectors who would
be willing to give thousands of dol
lars for the pen which shall declare
an end to the present war OF wars.
Usually, however, such pens remain
the property of the states concerned.
When it became known that peace
had been declared between Japan and
Russian pen manufacturers all over
the world sent supplies of their pens
to the commissioners who were en-
gagged in arranging the terms, hoping
that the document would be complet-
ed through the agency of their wares.
/ To avoid any unfair discrimination be-
, tween the pen manufacturers it was
! decided to use a quill in signing the
treaty.
1t was also a quill pen that was
/ used in signing the treaty of peace
/ between the United States and Spain
after the war of 1898. This particular
pen was afterward sold for $125.
The pen used by the commissioners
in signing the memorable Treaty OF
Paris fell into the hands of the ex
Empress Eugene. Aside from its his
toric interest it is also of great value
for it is mounted in sclid gold and in
crusted in diamonds.
Aside from the collectors there are
many who consider it lucky to possess
a pen that has been used in signing
the reprieve of person condemned
to death. Applications for pens thai
have performed such service are Otter
made to the governors of states
Queen Victoria always retained pos
session of such pens. One of thest
singer.
Pens which have been used by ia
nous authors often fetch high price
at auction. Dickens used the sam
quill pen to write Hard Times" Lit
tie Dorrit" and BLEAK House, whicl
| was sold some time ago for SIT.
A valuable pen is the one whicl

preciate their proficiency. But they
have to hide their diminished heads in
front of a Chinese-even a Chinese
youngster.
Man Without Sympathy.
One characteristic of the Chinese
peasant is his indifference to pain. He
may be badly smashed up, yet he will
cling to life with tenacity that pulls
him through where a European would
go under. / saw man the other day
who fell thirty feet down the hold OF
ship. One side of his face was ter
ribly battered. Two Of his ribs were
broken and one arm was badly dam
aged. A European would have been
carried instantly to hospital. His one
anxiety was to be allowed to return to
work and his description of those who
would not allow him to do so lacked
nothing in point and directness and
was sufficiently comprehensive to in
clude their ancestors, existing rela-
tions and heirs forever. He simply
could not understand what all the
bother was about.
From this Indifference to pain,
again, springs a want of sympathy
with another sufferer. A man may die
on the roadside without the slightest
notice being taken Of him. Let his
relatives take care of him. If he is
dying. why trouble with him? 1t is
the business of the authorities to cart
away the corpse. Why should anyone
I VI Inn
that, of course, if the case is one of
plague, say in Hongk0ng (where the
laboring class is only a little better
than the peasant class in China), a
dying man will be taken into. ths
street and left there. If that cannot
be managed the body will later be
slipped out quietly and left some dis
tance away. If it is kept in the house
the authorities will come round with
brushes and pals and disinfectants
and other foolish things, and clean the
house and fumigate it, and generally
annoy the inmates. The idea of an.
roylng living people because of man
who is dead is ridiculousi
He has one strong saving grace,
however If he has net come too much
in contact with foreigners, and SO be-
come contaminated, he is an honest
business man. Order rice or tea from
one of the more important peasant
farmers and get sample, and ne will
send rice or tea exactly to sample.
Therein he differs from the japanese,
who has no sense of honor in business,
and is seven kinds of a rogue,
