Averting the Strike

Under the above heading, the Lead
VILE Herald Democrat of last week
says:
An eight-hour law is on its way
through Congress, and rs this legisla-
ton is satisfactory to the brotherhood
chiefs at Washington 1T looks rs If a
strike has been averted. UndOubted-
ly congressional action IL based on
the belief that the country at large
does not want n strike, for the reason
that it would be the most destructive
calamity in the history of the repub-
lie. 1t may be assumed also that the
rank and file of the brntherhoods
themselves were not anxious to lock
horns in such n tremendous struggle.
The chiefs, however, as Mr.. Garretson
rather dramatically intimated, had
committed themselves to the strike
next Monday, and they could not
change the orders that had gone forth.
In other words, they had committed
themselves to getting something for
the organizations they represented
and were afraid IL n postpOnement
were granted and later nothing came
of it, they would lose prestige with
their unions. We mention this in or
der to indicate how personal motives
and ambitions are involved in the ill.,
dustrial controversy.
There is a suspicion in the minds of
many persons following the present
struggle that the legislation now be-
ing driven through Congress at break
neck speed is altogether dictated by
expediency and aimed solely to avert
an impending disaster rather than to
bring about a permanent settlement.
1t is hastily conceived and may be
open to attacks through the courts.
II it acconplishes an immediate pur-
pose something has been gained. but
Congress sooner or later win have to
deal with the problem in a much
broader spirit.
Theodore Roosevelt when president
urged legislation largely enhancing
the powers of the interstate commerce
commission, and extending over the
railroads more thorough control and
regulation. He advocated this course
in the interests Of the railroads them
selves, but the powerful financial In
terests of the country were too timid
too permit this, and Roosevelt could
never get his legislation through.
Those were the good old days when

One OF the best ways to prepare for

So we find that many birds. before
they embark on their great air voyage
which is to take them from their sum

daily trips between their sleeping quar-
ters and their feeding grounds.
This Is the habit of our robin. Rob
ins raise two and sometimes three fam
lilies In one season. When the first
family leaves the nest early in June
1t IS taken by the father robin to some
dense. leafy growth Of young trees to
pass the night. To this place they re-
turn every night. Many other robins.
sometimes thousands of them. come to
the same woods Such resorts are
known as robin roosts. In flying to

how to find their way.
Meanwhile mother robin Is patiently

bankers and big business men in ban
quets assembled in New York were
in the habit of responding to the toast
THE President by turning down
their glasses or spilIing the wine on
the floor, and in other ways showing
their disapproval of President Roose-
welt because Of his suggestion for more
stringent federal control of railroads.
Had they been more far-sighted they
would have accepted Roosevelts plan
which would have conferred much
larger power on the interstate COM
nerce commission for dealing with
Just such troubles as have now arisen.
The law which is now on its way
through Congress provides for the
eight-hour day to take effect on rail-
roads by the first of the year. This
will of course enable the necessary
adjustments to be made by the rail-
roads, and eventually there will no
doubt be legislation providing for in
creased freight rates.
AT present, however. the country is
simply glad to escape from the hor-
rors of industrial paralysis and suffer
ing, but it may be we'll for all concern
ed to take up the problems raised by
the present difficulty and give them a
little more attention than Is to be
found in II stop watch debate in Con-

Needs to Learn.
The advice of one of the large banks

invest his surplus. whether large or
small. in dividend securities of the best
class. whether railroad. real estate or
farm mortgages or public utilities. for
ITO keep money idle is costly oper-
ution."
Let every reader of this article re-
member that with as little as So or $40
he can make first payment on the pur-
chase of a first class 500 bond. Let
every render who has u few hundred
dollars to spare put 1t In n good $500
or 81 1000 bond on the partial payment
plan. and let 1t earn something. Five
hundred dollars invested in per
cent bond with the income deposited
in a savings bank at per cent Will
double itself In twelve ycars-that Is
the $500 will have become $1,000 in
that time. This $1,000 at per cent
will earn $50 year or over 81 n week
for its possessOr. Even at per cent
It will double in fifteen years and at 4
per cent in eighteen years.
The lesson the small investor wants
to learn Is that his money is just us
good as that of the larger investor.
The former has greater need of being
careful because he has less to spare.
