HOW THE TRAINMEN'S STRIKE
WAS AVOIDED.

aster. The New York Tribune said
that the effect of the proposed rail
road strike on business would have
been as disastrous as those Of civil
war. The trainmen voted to strike and
the strike was actually ordered. I'm.

mess of the country, and while they
and their employers contended with
each other the public would have suf-
fered untold losses. And worse yet,
great cities would have been brought
face to face with actual starvation.
To avert such an awful calamity
President Wilson appealed to Con-
gress to enact legislation which would
provide:
l. Immediate provision for the en-
Iargement Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to meet it's duties.
Q. An eight hour day as the legal
basis of work and wages for train
operatives.
8. The appointment Of a commits
sion to observe the actual workings Of
an eight-hour day and report the facts
to Congress.
Authorizing the Interstate Com
merce Commission to take wages and
working conditions into consideration
in fixing rates. .5s~.
5. Provision for COMPULSORY pub
lie investigation of labor disputes in
railroad operation before strike or
lockout may be declared.
6. Lodging in the hands Of the
President power to operate railroads
in case of military necessity and to
draft train crews and administrative
officials for that purpose
Congress did not have time to leg
tslate on all of these subjects, but
something had to he done to secure
the cancellation of the strike order.
Now what was done? The second and
third OF the Presidents recommended
lions were acted upon. and the rest
of the program was carried over until
congress cOnvenes again on the list of
next December. That was sufficient
to avert the strike That saved the
country from business confusion and
financial disaster Of the first mag
nitude. And who has been hurt by
anything that has been done? The
eight-hour law does not become ef-
fective until the first Of next wear

the legislation recommended bv the
President. There is ample time be-
tween now and December first for
cool consideration, and the reaching
of legislation that will deal Justly by
the railroads and thcir EMPLOYEES. and
At the same time safeguard the public
against a recurrence of the peril
from which the country has just es-
caped. A peril that the country will
never again be called upon to deal
with after the legislation asked for

to law.
The country as whole is thankful
that the strike was averted, and sat
isfied with the means employed to
bring about the much desired result.
There are some. however, so malis-
nantly partisan that they would like
to have seen the country's interests
burn at the stake that the confusion
thus produced might recoil upon the

Niagara Falls Staged
In Miniature by BurnaSCo

Burgess-Nash will exhibit scenic
reproduction of Niagara falls. This
clever combination of art, mechanism
and electricity, will be on exhibition
ON the fourth floor of the Burgess
Nash store beginning Monday morn
ing. A. FIT.
The scene represents the falls as
viewed from Victoria park on the
Canadian side, looking toward the
Horseshoe, with the American falls on
the left.
1t is the fall of the year, the bril-
liant autumnal foliage adding to the
rich hues of the landscape. By clever
ingenuity the water seems to tumble
over the falls and clouds of mist to
be rising skyward. The little steamer,
maid Of the Mist" and the passing
and repassing of trolley cars add lite
and movement to the scene.
By unique lighting arrangements
the glorious crimson glow of the set
ting sun merges into silvery moon
light, which in turn is superseded by
the brilliance of the dawn.
To add to the interest of the repro
SSsction a lecturer has been engaged
who will give brief address every
thirty minutes between 10 a. m. and
