Meeting May Be Historical.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE historical
East room of the White House was
ready today for the enactment of which
may be one of the closing incidents in
the titanic struggle between the four
powerful brotherhoods of railway en-
ployes and the operators of the rail
ways of the United States.
Six hundred and forty district chair
men of the railroad workers are here to
meet the president this afternoon in the
East room. The president has ready for
them his suggestion of solution for
the situation that has menaced the
country for the past several weeks.
The definite terms of the president s
proposal are not known, but the basic
idea is an agreement to be made be-
tween the railroads and the brother
hoods, whereby the eight hour day
shah 40 into effect at once. With this
in effect, the question of methods of en-
forcing it-whether by means of the
time and a half overtime, or by some
other means--will be made the subject
of investigation and adjustment, with
the federal government perhaps taking
part in the adjustment.
The railroad brotherhoods have in
sisted steadily that there is no other
effective method of enforcing the eight
hour day.
The Main Problem.
The presidents IS problem, if the rail
roads definitely concede the eight hour
principle to the extent of agreeing to
give it trial-seems to be to convince
the railroad men that the time and half
overtime issue should be held in abey-
anee during the trial period.
Interest rested chiefly in the solemn
session this afternoon in the beautiful
room celebrated only for affairs of So
cial splendor, from the days when Dolly
Madison danced, down to the present.
The gorgeous state furniture was remov-
ed and camp chairs crowded closely to-
gether on the polished floor.
The session beginning at O'Clock
was expected to last one hour and pos
sibly two or three.
The employers representatives were
serious and for the most part, silent as
the time approached for their gathering
at the White House. What they are pre-
pared to eoneede, none would say. Some
of the leading members of the general
committee indicated their belief that a
way was about to be found to prevent
the clash that seemed inevitable less
than a week ago. But what the way
might be they would not discuss.
Nothing to Debate.
They jammed the corridors of the old
time Pennsylvania Avenue hotels near
the capitol where they have made their
headquarters and strolled back and
forth along the avenue, keeping always

provement of farm lands; the term improve
ment' to be defined by the federal farm loan
board.
(D To liquidate Indebtedness of the
owner of the land mortgaged, existing at the
time of the organization of the first national
farm loan association established in or for the
county in which the land mortgaged is situat-
ed or Indebtedness subsequently incurred for
purposes mentioned in this section.
The lack of credit facilities has been heavy
hindrance to Americas agricultural progress Long
ago the leading nations of Europe provided such
accommodations for their farmer, but in the
United States there has been heretofore no ade-
quate means whereby the larger financial needs of
the farmer were served. The establishment of the
new banking currency system, 1T is true was OF
farreaching value to rural interests particularly in
the South and West where great staple crops of
cotton and grain have to be marketed. BY making
these sections independent Of remote financial cen
tiers, the federal reserve banks have eliminated
the tension and embarrassment which once pre-
vailed in crop-moving periods. But for long-term
credit accommodation with farm lands as security,
a special plan was necessary. That is now supplied
in the Federal Farm Loan act
1t is gratifying to note that this constructive
legislation is distinctly Southern in origin. The
movement which eliminated in the present law
began some six years ago at a session of the
southern Commercial Congress. Through the per-
sistent effort and influence of that body Congress
pursuaded to create rural credits commission
of which Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, of Florida,
was made chairman. The commission made an
exhaustive study of farm loan systems in Europe,
adapted the best features of them all to the pc
culiar needs and conditions of the United States,
and submitted report which formed the basis of
the law that is now to become operative. Author
tiles on the subject say that the Plan is superior
to that of any other nation and will rank with the
Federal Reserve system, among the greatest and
most useful achievements in the annals of Amer
lean legislation.

THERE is a popular superstition that in sum-
mer people ought to read nothing but light
- fiction" Like many supersttions, this is
really harmful
Personally l suspect that 1t was foisted on the
world by a thin minded ignoramus who held all
reading in slight esteem. At any rate, whoever
started it was an enemy Of the human race.
For the fact is that the man or woman who
reads only light fiction in the summer Will be
likely to find it difficult to read anything but light
fiction the rest of the year.
And in some degree, he or she will be less mt
for work after a summer literary diet limited to
light fiction.
Summer, undeniably, is for most people the
great resting time Of the mind. 1t is then that
most of us get our vacation, our fortnight or
month of respite from the daily grind
Quite properly, try to put far from the
cares and worries of business life. We seek to re-
fresh ourselves for the return to harness.
But let us not make the mistake of assuming
that we can best refresh ourselves by giving our
minds as little as possible to do.

Gus campaigning to go to bed until another

A Prosperous Outlook.

American business is cheered in this midsum-
mar season by a prospect of good harvests and the
sustained vigor of industrial activities In the Gov
ernment's latest report crop conditions, the
wheat yield for the year is estimated at seven
hundred and fifty-nine million bushels Though
that is much less than the prodgious outturn of
1915 il will be ample for domestic needs, which
are reckoned at about six hundred and fifty million
bushels and will leave large surplus for exporta
tion Further. assurance lies in the fact that up
wards of hundred and seventy million bushels
from last years huge crop on hand. The forth
coming yield of corn is estimated at two billion
eight hundred and sixty-six million bushels that
of oats at one billion three hundred and seventeen
million, and the outlook for other food crops is
favorable
The soundness of industrial conditions is
broadly evidenced Iron and steel have established
and are maintaining new records Of activity. Tex
tile mills for the most part are fully employed.
Building operations for June, according to Brad
streets were fifty-six per cent above the same
month Of 1915 and for the first half of the current
year were twenty-six per cent above the correspond
ing period of 1915 These and sundry other advances
in industry and trade are reflected in the June
hank clearings which were almost fifty per cent
greater than twelve months before.
With bounteous harvests and industrial vigor,
the United States is assured of continued and in
creasng prosperity Thanks to national Admin
isration which has stood for justice and peace and
for the protection of common interests. the
country's resources and energies are free for Won
derful development.
