LET'S TAKE A LAUGH?

+, By Jove! When you think it all
over, this old ball of dirt isn't so bad,
is it? Pretty interesting little place
and personally we'd hate to leave it
Just yet while.
Your favorite corn is stepped on,
people bump rudely into you, friends"
delight, seemingly, to criticize you,
and yet isn't it all just great big
lot of fun! Why, it's the very essence
of life, we'd call it. Not that we en-
joy peoples rude ways particularly,
but the bumps are what remind us
that we're living red-blooded life
that makes us sit. up and take notice;
not merely birth, so many years
travel in a smooth, monotonous rut
and then expiration.
You know we're always thought
that the bumps are what make us
appreciate life's good things. Isn't the
principle one of the reasons why the
seasons are divided the way they are?
For instance, if we were to have
green trees all the time, we'd at least
fail to appreciate them, If not actually
detest them. Then along comes old
Father Icicle to keep us company. We
welcome him at first; then we're glad
to see him give way to beautiful
spring.
The bumps sharpen our wits, sea-
son us to brown turn. You sharpen
an axe on the bumps of a file or
grindstone.
Let's just crack our old dried faces
with smiles-all kinds of them, one
right after the other. If you can't
laugh, smile and smile hard. Kill the
crouch. Put him out of business, once
and for all.
Do you know what we'd do If we
thought we we're miserable pessi-
mists? Why, we'd get the biggest
stone on Lake Michigan's shores, take
it out on the pier, tie it around our
necks and jump off.

MANAGERS, SEEING NATION FAC
ING WAR WITH GERMANY,
AGREE TO 8-HOUR DAY.
VICTORY FOR BROTHERH00DS
Full Settlement With Train Men
After Hope for Peace Had
Grown DINNER.

New York, March 19.-The confer
ence committee of railroad managers
early this morning authorized Presi-
dent Wilson's mediators to make what
ever arrangements were necessary
with the railroad brotherhoods to call
off the threatened strike.
The formal letter in which this au-
thorization was made, signed by Elisha
Lee, chairman of the managers COM
mittee, was as follows:
I'm the national crisis precipitated
by events of which we heard Sunday
afternoon, the national conference
committee of railroads join with you
in the conviction that neither at home
nor abroad should there be fear or
hope that the efficient operation of the
railroads of the country will be ham
pered or impaired.
Therefore, you are authorized to as
sure the nation there will be no strike,
and as a basis for such assurance we
hereby authorize the committee of the
council of national defense to grant to
the employees who are about to strike
whatever adjustment your committee
deems necessary to guarantee the I'M
interrupted and eHicienc operation of
the railroads as an indispensable arm
of national defense"
Victory for Brotherhoods.
The decision reached by the man
ho; ;rh
means that the brotherhoods have won
an important victory, although it does
not bring them all their original de-
mands. By the agreement, it is as
sumed they will be awarded pro rata
time for overtime on the basic eight
sured.
The original demands called for
time and a half for overtime on the
same basic day.
The men will get their present pay
for 10 hours for eight hours work
under the agreement. These conces-
sions on the part of the managers
are virtually what the employees con-
tended they would gain under the
Adamson law if it were declared con-
stitutional, which it did on Monday.
Speed News to Chairmen.
Immediately after Secretary Lane
had made his announcement the
brotherhood leaders sent kilograms to
all the general chairmen informing
them that the strike had been called
off
Eleventh Hour Concession.
The announcement of the managers
that they had yielded apparently came
as surprise to the brotherhood chiefs,
for they were in bed when summoned
again to the conference room. Earlier
in the evening there had been dis
tinctly pessimistic feeling as to the
prospect for averting a strike.
Patriotic Appeals Factor.
Earnest appeals by Secretary Lane
and the other mediators to the patriot
ism of the railroad managers are be-
lieved to have been an important fac
tor in bringing about settlement. The
critical situation in which the country
finds itself because of the sinking OF
American ships by German subma-
rines was impressed upon them, and
they were told that if a strike were
permitted at this time it would be
national calamity Similar pressure
was brought to bear upon the broth
erhood chiefs.
