RAILWAY OFFICIAL ASKS
TRAINMEN TO ACT FAIRLY
E. a. Coapman of Southern Discusses
Differences With Unions Now
Subject of Conference.

e. H. Coapman. vice president and
general manager of the Southern Rail-
way Company. has followed up the re-
suits of the conference which has been
in session in New York between the
general managers of the railroads of
the United States and the presidents of
the four trainmen's organizations, with
an appeal to the employees of his COM
pany to act loyalty and justly toward
their employers. After outlining the
differences which brought about the
breaking up of the conference. Mr..
Coapman says to the $4,000 employees
Of the company:
Individually and collectively the
employees of Southern Railway Com
pany will compare most favorably for
loyalty, efficiency and square dealing
with those of any other enterprise in
the United States, and do not hesitate
to appeal to them. knowing full well
that their interest and love for their
road and their inherent ideas of fair
ness and right with lead them to
Just conclusion on the matters of diff
ference between this company and
such organizations.
I'VE leave the matter of your de-
cision without further discussion,
knowing that in your consideration of
the same you will consider your past
treatment, the relationship which has
always existed between you and this
company, your length of service; the
hardship upon the other employees not
parties to this demand. the interest of
the public served by this railroad. for
should you, by your voluntary action,
cripple the train service, many others
than those employed by the railroad
must suffer. Above all we appeal to
your sense of loyalty, justice and
right"

Hot Weather

You say, Great Scott! The
day is hot! The solar rays are
pelting, on my old form, till I'm
so warm that all my lard is melt
ingr And when you meet, upon
the street. some other painting
buffers, each has his say about
the way he sizzles, sweats and
suffers. The more you think
you're on the blink, the more you
will be fretting; when ills abound
and throng around, there's moth
ing like forgetting. We fume and
curse, and pet and nurse our
every punk affection, when, if
we'd smile and josh awhile,
itwould leave our Jurisdiction.
When heat is hot, l say, Il wot,
no kick of mine will change it;
the weather man pursues his plan,
and roars will not derange it. I
did not weep when SHOWS were
deep, and in the blast l shivered,
and I'll not sulk because in bulk
the heat is now delivered. 1t does
not help to howl and yelp, there
is no good in snorting; I'll think
of foes and Eskimos, and polar
bears cavorting.'

ceeded to Fayance, where they received
a warm welcome.
After posing for a group photograph
an hour was devoted to disposing of an
elaborate buffet luncheon in the shade
of spreading chestnut trees. Music
was furnished by group of col
ored musicians. who used Instruments
of their own manufacture. the results,
however, being most pleasing. The en-
tire party was then conducted to a
nearby field to witness a battle royal
between va badger" and a dog. The
preliminaries proved highly exciting.
There was no blood shed, as the badger
was handled very adroitly by Rotarian
Rowland S. Robbins.
Next in order was a base ball game
between two picked mines. one cap
tanned by President D. ]. Callahan and
the other by Rotarian Ralph w. Lee.
The striking feature of the contest
was the incompetent umpiring.
The remainder of the afternoon was
devoted to an impromptu concert with
Rotarian Edgar Priest at the piano,
and Rotarian J. Maurice Bird as vocal
soloist. with large and husky chorus
The party returned to the city late in
the afternoon after voting that as
