western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York, March 19.-After a forty
eight-hour truce between the four
railroad brotherhoods and the rail-
roads had been declared here late
Saturday, thus averting the great
progressive" strike that was to have
begun at Z o'clock Saturday night, w.
G. Lee, chief of the trainmen and
spokesman for the brotherhood chiefs,
asserted that he believed an amicable
settlement of all the differences would
be reached by Monday.
New York, March 19.-The confer
ence committee of railroad managers
early this morning authorized Presi-
dent Wilson's mediators to make
whatever arrangements were neces-
sary with the railroad brotherhoods
to call off the threatened strike. The
formal letter in which this authorize
ton was made was signed by Elisha
Lee, chairman of the managers, COM
mittee, and was as follows: in the
national crisis precipitated by events
of which we heard this afternoon, the
national conference committee Of rail-
roads 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 hampered or i'm
paired. Therefore you are authorized
to assure the nation there will be no
strike, and as a basis for such assur-
we hereby authorize the commit
tee Of the Council Of National De-
Tense to grant to the employees who
are about to strike whatever adjust
ment your committee deems neces-
sary to guarantee uninterrupted and
efficient operations of the railroads
as an indispensable arm of national
defense"
The decision reached by the man
ayers at their midnight conference
means that the brotherhoods have
won an important victory, although it
does not bring them all their original
demands. BY the agreement, it is as
sumed they will be awarded pro-rata
time for overtime on the basic eight
hour day, which they have been as
sured.
Their original demands called for
time and a half for overtime on the
basic day.
Secretary Lane issued this state
ment: Regardless of the decision Of
the Supreme Court on the Adamson
law, the basic eight-hour day will go
effect"
Immediately after Secretary Lane
had made his announcement, the
members sent kilograms
to all the general chairmen informing
them that the strike had been de-
off.

1.-THE walk is the important gait. 1t
should be snappy and true with a good
length Of stride. The action of all
four legs should be strong and the
movement of the knees and hooks free
without indication of dragging or stiff
ness.
Action in Trottinq.
1T Is essential to note an animals
action In trotting, because defects In
action are more p~erceptible when trot-
ting than when walking, although the
walk is more important from a work
Ing standpoint.
I'm trotting there should be a clean
folding Of the knee and hook, the feet
being carried in a straight line. The
hooks should work close together, for
if they are inclined to be carried too
far out 1t causes a bandy-legged ap-
pearance which is unsightly.

tors.
These three thing. are the great e.
sentials BY which the United States

to Allen r. Hawley. president OF the
Aero Club OF America.
Mr.. Hawley appeared today before
the subcommittee of the house mill
tary AFFAIRS committee. at the hrst
hearing of witnesses on the Hubert
Sheppard bill to create a department
of aeronautics. Mr.. Hawiey declared
that the admins tration proposal to ex-
pend 5000. ooo,ooo In placing American
aeronautics on a war footing would
be inadequate.
America will be compelled to "de
It's bit" by supplying not less than
100, 900 aeroplanes and from 10000 to
20. 600 trained aviators. Applying
the testimony of Rear Admiral Peary
and other distinguished aerial experts
Mr. Hawley told the subcommittee
that the United States at this tirne
has II. supreme opportunity to inn
mediate service on the western front
and that its contribution to the
strength of the allies In the air would
greatly outweigh the results that
might be achieved by sending an army
of 1000 men or moro to the front

Washington, June o1.-Newspapers
and magazines must pay quarter

the recommendation OF the senate
finance committee agreed upon today.
The committee also decided to tax the
net profits OF all publications. An
exemption of $4,000 will be made.
But all profits above that amount Will

This lis the latest decision or the
committee after weeks OF discussion.

the house sought TO impose on tins
publications. and which was declared
ruinous TO the industry.
The committee expects TO derive
about $4,000. 900 from the increase In
the postal rates. and perhaps $1,000
600 from the per cent tax on net
profits Thus the whole revenue from
this source would be s12. 100000.
The present postal rate on second
class matter is one cent per pound,

clusion Of individuals as well as cor

Corporations whose profits were
suhnormal during the three pre-wa,
years upon which the calculations are
based. will he exempted six per cent
upon the capital invested during that
period. These prewar years are 1911
1912 and 1918. Corporations formed
since the war will also have the same
/ six per cent exemption. These de-
cisions were both made today by the
! committee Like the individuals. fht
corporations will also have an exemp
ton OF $1,000

! The question of first class postage
il vet to be decided, The house pro
posed an increase of one cent on tht
rates, and the senate committee II
disposed to allow this rate to stand
except in the case of postcards.
Instead of making the postal rate
on postcards two cents. the commit
tee thinks one cent would he more
equitable.
As calculated In the ways ant
means committee OF the house II wa
expected to raise some $4,000. ooi
from the increase in first class mat
ter. However. II the rate on post
cards was not increased. this sun
would be reduced to about $4,000,
900. The postof1ce department is
sued about one billion postcards las

many picture postcards put ON tn
