Invitation to Autumn

Come. gentle Fall Imperial
Autumn, come! Heat long en-
dured has knocked US out of
plumb; sagged in the back and
wabbly in the knees, humbly we
beg a breath of Autumn breeze.
Long have we watched the redhot
days drag by, painting and sick be-
meath a we'll done sky; as people
long, when Winter has its fling,
long for the glow and genial
warmth of Spring, so do we yearn,
our backs against the wall, yearn
for your chill. o life-preserving
Fall Bring on your frost, re-
gardless of expense! Bid Sum-
rner quit, bid heat go humping
hencel Wilted we stand, weary,
washed-out band, hoping that
snow will come and hide the land,
lnuttering low, amid the endless
heat, Fall, when you come, bring
forty kinds of sleet! Let every
gust be born of arctic SHOWS,
freeze all our ears, put chilblains
in our toesl Cover our spinach
with a coat of rime, let US be
cold, for three months at a time~
Let us repeat, ere heat hath made
us dumb, come, gentle Fall, i'm
perial Autumn, come!

Strongly Favored by Railroads.

The railroads favor this strongly as
against the plan for compulsory in
vestigations, 1t is said, for they do not
wish to be bound SO that they will be
compelled to arbitrate wage disputes
with weak organizations which they
could probably defeat in a strike. On
the other hand. the brotherhoods do
not want compulsory investigation. be-
cause they believe it would deprive
them of the favorable position, to which
they have fought their way They fear
that with compulsory investigation
many classes of railroad workers would
receive substantial raises in pay be-
fore the brotherhoods would again be
recognized.

MAY ACCEPT 8-HOUR LAW,
AVOIDING TEST IN COURT
Railroad Executives Said to Be Ne
gotiating With the Brother
hood Leaders.

DESTROYS, If possible, to avoid fric-
road executives are negotiating with
brotherhood leaders, it is stated, on
good authority, to accept the eight
hour law without a test in court.
Tho purpose of such negotiations is
to avoid the odium that would attach to
continued railroad strife before Con-
gress and the Supreme Court, and since
they realize that they would probably
lose the contest anyway they are anx-
they can out Of the new law through
gratious acceptance Of 1t, oven If 1t
does carry a 20 or 25 per cent increase
in wages.
Admits Negotiations.
Judge W. L. Chambers of the United
States board of mediation and concilia-
ton admitted that overtures were be-
ing made in this direction, but declined
to comment further.
President W. s. Carter of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen said he had not heard of the
report None of the four chiefs has
heard of it," he added
1t was pointed out that the railroads
might be willing to accept the law,
including as it does the principle of
the right of Congress-and through it
the interstate commerce commission
to fix wages of employees in interstate
commerce. The railroads are anxious
for the commission to have this power,
Just as 1t has been given the power to
fix freight rates.
The idea of the railroads in this is
that 1t would avert the possibility of
strikes IN the future. or, If 1t did not,
certainly the onus would bear heavily
on men striking for more pay than this
tribunal had Judged they deserved.
