\ The first thing that Mr.. Conspira
tor and Receiver always did, was t
reduce wages on the roads. Natural

| TO STRIKE WAS TO BE IN COZ
TEMPT OF COURT, BECAUSE TIL
RECEIVER WAS AN OFFICER Oh
THE COURT. So the Federal judg'
would issue an injunction against tn
workmen who struck, because the re
organizers were trying to recoup the
money which they had stolen out OF
the pockets of the workmen. If th(
| leaders of the railroad men had the
audacity to continue to strike, thc%
were thrown into Jail for contempt OF
court.
Fortunately public opinion has com
PEELED the courts to stop this dis,
creditable secret alliance with railroad
looters, but unfortunately the legal
principles upon which the courts Oper-
ated have not yet been disavOwed.
We hope that Mr.. Brandeis, when he
takes his place on the Supreme Court
bench, will help the court to disavow
them, so that these things may not
happen again, when the audacity OF
spectators rises to its old pitch.
Now, the New Haven Railroad has
lost from one hundred to two hundred
million dollars in short period by
aggrandizing schemes not unlike these
in character. If that railroad Were
on it's feet; if it had not lost this vast
sum of money, and if it had not suf-
fered the consequent loss of morale
and efficiency, with their train Of
evils, the New Haven would be am
ply able to meet any increase in the
cost of labor, through this demanded
decrease in the hours of labor, out Of
it's surplus prosperity. Therefore, an
other answer to Mr.. Elliott's conten-
tion is that the railroads can change
their methods; can operate railroad
as it was meant to be operated as a
railroad, and not as the victim of IN
scrupulous spectators. Mr.. Elliott |
is himself trying to do this very thin
and is meeting with considerable sue
cess. Mr.. Hustis and the Federal
trustees are trying to do this very
thing on the Boston & Maine, and
1re meeting with very great succes :.
They have in year converted a de-
icit into a surplus, and in a short
;ime, if its condition improves in the
alto of last year, the Boston & Maine
will be on its feet again merely by
tecent management.
Now, a change which will make 1t
for repetition of these or
;ies of railroad speculation and
will completely offset any
ncreased cost of labor which may be
involved in the demands of the rail ]
Iay employees, even if the increased |
Efficiency of the labor does not help I
cry much.
Doubtless Mr.. Elliott will say that +
1e railroad managers have learned =
1eir lesson; that the stockholders
ave been the most to suffer, and that
lese conditions will not return. Bat !,
when the devil is sick, the devil Il
onk would be, and when the devil is {

Thursday passed in all the war theatres without notable gains for any of the belligerents. In the Stok- bod region of Russia violent fighting continued between the Russians and the Ausu3Cermans, while German counter attacks against the British in the Delville wood sector in France, all of which were repulsed
 Battles also took place aong the Zereth and Denister rivers in Gaiicia between the Russians and the TeItons while in the Caucusas region the Russians near Diarbekr carried but a bayonet attack against the Turks which resulted in the capture of a Turkish work and some 300 prisoners and guns.

Don't Let Soap
 Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be careful what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alllali, which is very injurious, as 1t dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is just plain null sihed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or any thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub 1t in, about teaspoonful IS all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, cleanses thor oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it 1oosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

 The Fryatt Matter.
 The naval year closed with the eX- ecutlon of the British sea captain, Fryatt, the chief topic Of discussion. This is not regarded by Germany as an isolated case, but as Germanys answers to what Is termed the doctrine of armed merchantmen adopted by Great Britain even before the war and to allow illegalities, of which, ac cording to the German claims, Great Britain has repeatedly been guilty during the war. For this reason an important place in the review furnish ed the Associated Press on Admiral von HOtzend0rfs instructions is talk en up in a recapitulation of alleged violations of international law charged against British ships
 5S Violations.
 While in the first year Jf the war, says the statement, twenty proved violations of the law of nations by enemy merchantmen. (firing upon German submarines, attempt tc ram them, etc). occurred, 5S such cases were reported in the second year. Merchantmen owned by the allies, therefore during the two years violat- ed in the grossest manner the rules of international law no less than 58 times against German submarines. This can be proved up to the hilt.
 Common Murder.
 'The warships of Germany's enc mics during the war have violated the law of nations in three particularly extreme cases, namely. the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, the Dresden and the Albatross. Two cases. the Bara- long and the King Stephen must be. characterized not only as violations of the law of nations and a breach Of the most ordinary rules of humanity, but as comm3n murder. Countle ss cases in which British warships have violated international law in th1ir conduct against merchantmen owned by the central powers or neutrals cannot be enumerated
