emphasized since the public does not
understand this particular point, that
even the plan for a settlement propos'

employees in train service might work

! as many do now, but that none or
! them should be required 10 work more
than eight hours without being paid
overtime This meant that, without
any hearing whatever, the railways
were to concede the most important
matter In the controversy. The Presi-
dent also proposed that the settlement

Opinion In the senate after the gen

gent necessity for emergency action
first, proposals for permanent legisla-
ton to be considered thoroughly after
danger OF immediate tie up had been
passed. This sentiment was forci5ly
expressed on the floor and echoed IN
conferences OF house leaders.

! to compel men To work. The Senator
Is assuming a great deal il he thinks
such law will stop the strike. Sen

declaring that Congress should 60 a
step further and confer upon the
courts drastic powers to prevent men
who have gone on strike after SUCH
proposed Investigation and decision

Senator MARITIME urged government
ownership as a solution OF the prob

eral receiverships for railroads having
government contracts whenever they
| failed TO execute such contracts.
While the senate was celebrating
what to do, house leaders were becom-

of settlement which did not provloe
for arbitration of the entire conuo-
versy.
The objections made by the employ.
es to arbitration is that the results OF
past arbitration have not been fair 10
them. Apparently the only one on
which they base this charge Is thar
the results have not been sunlclHa'y
favorable to satisfy them.
THE leaders OF the brotherhoooss
are playing desperate game ana
seem willing to 90 any length IN oroer
to win it. They have called a strike
for next Monday, and the manage,
ments OF the railways Will proceeo
upon the assumption that it will come
at that time and will prepare 10 ACT
accordingly.
No Predictions Now.
THE public Is naturally concerned
AS to how serious the strike actually
will prove to be and as to how long
it will last. 1t would be futile to make
any. predictions regarding these mat
ters flow. The public may rest as
sured, the arrangements will make the
most strenuous endeavors to main.

suffering and | hope and believe we
will he able to do this.
We will know a great deal better
next Monday night than we do now
how serious the strike will be. and
will be able to estimate much better
then than now how long it will last
Only when the matter Is put to the
actual test will we know how many
OF our train employees will remain
loyal. We believe the number who
will refuse to 80 out will be far larg
err than the leaders Of the brother
hoods anticipate"
Mr.. Ripley would not undertake to
say exactly what would be the attitude
Of the railway executives toward the
legislative program which President
Wilson presented to Congress yester
day to avert the strike. He said:

dent Wilson to provide that no strike
or lockout shall be ordered In case s

Improved concrete for road building as well

absorption has been announced by the depart

After extensive experiments with view to
producing non-absorbent concrete mixture, the
department has found that the addition of ten per
cent of heavy mineral oil to the Portland cement
paste acted as an effective repellent to moisture.
The susceptibility of concrete to water ABSORB
ton had long been recognized as one of it's in
herent weaknesses as bodybuilding material,
The addition Of the oil does not lower the ten

the further advantage of making the mixture i'm

LET US BE KIND.
Let us be kind.
The way is long and lonely,
And human hearts are asking for this
blessing only
That we be kind.
We cannot know the grief that men
may borrow,
We cannot see the souls storm-swept
by sorrow,
But love can shine upon the way to-

Let us be kind.
Let us be kind;
This is wealth that has no measure.
This is of heaven and earth the high

Let us be kind,

A song of hope and victory to those
retreating,
A glimpse of God and brotherhood
while life is fieeting-
Let us be kind.
Let us be kind
Around the world the tears Of time
are falling,
And for the loved and lost these
human hearts are calling
Let us be kind.
To age and youth let gracious words
be spoken.
Upon the wheel of pain so many
weary lives are broken.
We live in vain who give no tender
token
Let us be kind.
Let us be kind
The sunset tints will soon be in the
west
Too late the flowers are laid on the
quiet breast
Let us be kind.
And when the angel guides have
sought and found us,
Their hands shall link the broken ties
of earth that bound us.
And heaven and home shall brighten
all around us
