prairie just after the opening of

wife have continuously made their

of sympathy to the stricken family
under this lone touch of Nature
which makes the whole world

Agreement Reached on Eight
Hour Day.-Commission win
Consider Other Details.

That the threatened strike of
practically all the employees on
the important railroads of the
county has been ayerted, at least
for some time, is indicated IN the
latest news reports from Washing

ployes, the way is further opened
to favorable consideration of
President Wilson s proposition
that a commission be appointed to
adjust the remaining differences
between the roads and their EN-
ployes. II is the opinion of the
best informed on the subject, not
directly connected with the nego-
fiafions, that the head of the gov
ernment has found common
ground on which the two great
opponents can reach a peaceable
agreement.
Further conference by the COM
mittees with whom the president
has been working was postponed
from Wednesday until Friday,
when the members of the employ
