ADAMSON LAW MUST b
GREATEST RAIL tt
-Today's conference in New York
when railroad managers and broth
erhOOd officials meet in the same
room for a talk is expected to bring
peace and the basic eight-hour day in
freight service.
The greatest transportation tie-up
in the worlds history will come next
week unless the railroads agree to
obey the main clause of the Adam
son law.
Refusal of the railroads to obey
the AdamsOn law while the supreme
court is passing on the validity of
that law is a species of treason to the
nation, the railroad managers and
capitalists are traitors, and if the
brOtherhoOds strike they will be at
lacking interests that are unpatTi-
otto. That's the brotherhOods' view
asst stands out from statement is
sued by the four executives last
night.
1--WE are going ahead just as if
there was no Adamson law" said
Pres. w. G. Lee of the trainmen to-
day. 1--WE shall proceed as if there
was no supreme court decision pend
ing. We have waited Monday after
Monday to have a decision on the
Adamson law handed down. Now we
will not wait-as a matter Of fact, it
will make no difference. The deci-
sion won't influence our action in the
slightest"
There is only one thing we ask
the newspapers to do" said a broth
erhood official today. eff they would
print the truth about both sides, our
case would be an easy one. Public
opinion would be overwhelmingly
with US.

ice in this country equal to the one
maintained by the railroads. When
the Rockefeller family three years
ago Wanted the most efficient press
agent that money can buy, they got
the fellow they wanted by going to
the Pennsylvania railroad company
and getting the president to release
Ivy L. Lee.
Did you notice yesterday the big
headline in the afternoon papers? 1t
said President Wilson was amazed
at the stand taken by the brother
hoods. The news story didn't have
a grain Of fact or evidence on the
presidents views.
Nothing the president said to any
body was stated. The names of no
Washington officials, correspondents
nor attaches Of any sort were named
in the story. 1t was a clear case of
manipulation Of news by the railroad
publicity diplomats. The Associated
Press again showed it is a railroad
controlled service. Fakes? We are
used to them. The lie yesterday that
President Wilson is amazed and
shocked at our conduct is one more
sample.
I'VE have grown tired presenting
the country with-statistics on the ex-
plOitatiOn of railroads. They are
capitalized at three times their actual
value. Everybody who buys any
thing shipped over a railroad must
pay freight on rates based on water
ed stocks, overloaded investments,
securities issued because they want
ed the money and knew how to milk
the public for it.

records that millions of acres of land
held by the railroads are stolen

We are now ready to consider one 81
the most important paragraphs IN Science
and Health, for it may be said to contain
the pearl Of great price" 1t tells US IN
the simplest Of words how Jesus healed
the sick.
Jesus beheld in Science the perfect
man, who appeared to him where SHINING
mortal man appears to mortals. In this
perfect man the Saviour saw Gods own
likeness, and this correct view of man
healed the sick. Thus Jesus taught that
the kingdom of God is intact. universal
and that man is pure and holy (Science
and Health, p. 476).
This then must have been the under
standing which Jesus impaired to his dis
ciples. which enabled them to duplicate
his wonderful healing work. This is the
understanding which today is enabling
Christian Scientists to confront. undis-
mayed the appearance of disease and
vice, and to rescue the unfortunates in
bondage thereto.
The following illustration may help to
throw more light on the Christian Scien-
lists attitude toward sin and disease.
while a member of an orthodox church.
was asked by friend to use my re-
ligion' as he expressed it, in the. effort
to reclaim a brother seemingly ezslaved
by drink. I accepted the commission. and
proceeded TO 'use my religion I found
my subject in a most repentant mood,
and he agreed almost tearfully with my
ringing condemnation of his evil ways.
I asked him If he did not realize the
depths to which he had fallen, how
wicked he was, and how terrible was
that evil power to which he had sub
mitted. Yes. he realized 1t all, but evil
had been made SO real and so powerful
to him that even the hope of divine de-
liverance, with which I finally endeav-
ored to inspire him, was Of no avail, and
he sank even deeper in the mire Of sin.
Let US now consider another picture: A
slave of false appetite is brought to one
endeavorffig to be scientific Christian,
or a Christian Scientist. The Scientist
sees before him no bad man, no perpe-
traitor of sin, but a victim of sin. He
sees behind the feshly appearance the
man Of Gods creating, who Is not a SIN
sinful desires. but who is eternally pure
and free. He therefore bids the sufferer
to awaken from his mesmerism. He
shows him that the bondage which to
him has seemed real and powerful. IS a
lie: for. as Jesus said. there is no truth
in the devil, or evil and he Is assured
that God has given man dominion over
all error. And in thousands upon thou
sands Of cases where these good tidings
have been preached. have the victims OF
wrong desire risen in the glory Of a new
found manhood. And through the same
process. in numberless instances. has the
sick man been awakened from his night
mare Of invalidism and pain.
Thus we see that Christian Scientist
does not ignore sin and disease. but by
understanding their unreahty and the
spiritual truth of being, he heals them.
