] The walkout in more than 100 plants

reported. n .-~ T..
Feverish eleventh hour efforts to
avert the strike by employers and rep

sis Of 10 per cent increase offered had
been rejected by the conference COM

composed of twenty-five unions, on
whose authority the strike was de-
clared. -e---

Way \
Nebraska Troops Arrive at
Camp Cody in Enthusiastic
Spirits; Trip Has No Bad
Effect on AppetiteS.

Deming, N. M, Sept. 17.-(Special
Telegram.)-The Golden Rod Spe-
cial, with the first section of Compa-
nies A, B. D and the machine gun
company, arrived at Deming at 4:30
this morning and went to Camp Cody
at daybreak. Everyone is in good
shape and the morale of the troops
has been excellent. All are enthu-
siastic about the trip and will COM
mence the intensive training with a
zeal that will keep up the Nebraska
record.
The trip has been very interesting,
the only disagreeable feature being
the confinement. The troops de-
trained at Quaynoka, Okl., Saturday
noon and again at Belen, N. NJ, Sun
day evening for fifteen minutes ey-
ercise. The boys kept the cooks
busy all the way, the inconvenience of
eating on the train in no way hamper
ing their appetite. -...
The thousands of derricks that
greeted us on awakening Saturday
morning in Kansas was novel sight
for the boys, who estimated how
many billions they were worth. The
troops saw the worst part of Okla
homa and Texas and spent Sunday in
the desert wastes of New Mexico.
Late Sunday they entered the foot-a
hills and got glimpse oisthe. noun
tains. The boys all agreed that
twenty acres ef Nebraska land was
worth 10000 New Mexico acres.
The first lap on the way to France
is ended and the Nebraska boys are
looking forward to the next.
Tattoo Artists Barred.
Deming's city council has put the
Indian sign on the tattoo man, who
has been picking up money from
some of the yohngefAssoldiers here.
Reports that tattooing has produced
fever, and that some of the decora-
tions riin to obscenitys has induced
;thes aldermen 10 ssixsa $io0 fiHe for
tattcoing soldiers inside the city linn
its. As General Blocksom has put
on the lid against vendors and "ar-
lists" of all kinds, the tattooer prob
ably will have to vanish.
UneScorted women news CORE
spondents, solicitors and curio sellers
are barred from Camp Cody by Cen
eral B1ocksom's order. No more
passes will be issued to women.
One of the features of an amuse-
ment zone in the town of Denling
will be huge swimming pool for SOL
diers, where bathing suits will be
furnished. The purveyors OF amuse-
ment in the zone must pay 5 per !
cent tax on receipts to the city coun-
Gil and another S per cent to the rec
reation committee of civilians.
Construction will end in the big
camp by Thursday, it is reported.
If plans suggested by civilian pro-
moter to Major General A. P. Block
som, division commander, and Major
c. Fl. Miller, quartermaster construc-
tor, are accepted, this training place
will have a tramway running east and
west along its three-mile main street
to carry the men back and forth for
a Scent fare.
The power proposed is that of auto
mobiles, mounted on fanged wheels,
running on light rails, the trains be-
ing similar to those operated at the
Pacific coast expositions.
Such road would save many a
long tramp through the sand when
a soldier is on leave.

. ARGUMENT

Argument is one mans polite way
of telling another man he doesn't
know what he's talking about. It's
an art with some folks and a habit
with others.
Argument and diplomacy are close
" related. One man calls another
man a liar. That's argument. The
other man says doubtless the first
man is correct, but isn't it just pos
sible, and so on and so on. That's
diplomacy.
Almost any proposition is open to
argument, but there are a few places
where all argument fails; certain
things about which there is no ar
gument. This includes wives, dys-
Depsia, buzz saws, mule heels, street
car conductors, policemen, polecats
and cyanide of, potassium. And did
you ever try to argue with baiky
