| New York, March i9.-The railway
strike has been averted. Yielding to
! the appeal of President Wilson and
facing the probability of this coun-
trys entrance into the worll war, the
railroads early today granted the de
nands of the four employees broth
erhoods for a basic eight-hour day.
The telegraph wires this morning are
carrying throughout the United States
messages from the brotherhood chiefs
resembling the orders for the inaug-
uration of the great progressive strike
at seven o'clock Saturday night. The
decision is regarded as u complete sur
render to the brotherhoods. brought
about however, after the patriotism
of the railroad managers had been put
to test and the supreme court had
handed down its decision in favor of
the Adamson law
The agreement which averted the
strike was practically as follows:
Overtime to be paid for at not less
than one-eighth of the daily rate per
hour.
I'm all yard service switching and
hosiery where schedules now read,
ten, eleven or twelve hours or less
shall constitute a days work, insert
eight hours or less shall constitute a
days work at present ten hours pay
I'm yards now working on an s.
hour basis the daily rate shall be the
present l0-hour standard rate. with
overtime at one-eighth of the pres
ent standard daily rate. In case the
law is declared unconstitutional eight
hours or less at present l0-hour pay
will constitute days work.
"1n passenger service the present
mileage basis will be maintained. On
roads now having a flat l0-hour day
in passenger service the rule will be
amended to read eight within ten
hours
For such territory as has no num-
ber of hours for days work in short
turn around passenger service the s.
hour within lO-hour rule applies. Ov-
ertime to be paid for at not less than
one-eighth of the daily rate per hour.
The general committees Individually
may elect to put in their present oy-
ertime rules in short turn around pas
senger service or the foregoing pro-
vision but may not make combina-
tion of both to produce greater COM
pensation than is provided in either
basis.
"ln the event the law is held to be
constitutional if the foregoing settle
ment is inconsistent with the decision
of the court that application will be
adjusted to the decision. If declared
unconstitutional the above stands with
all the provisions as written"

Jas. J. Hall & Co. Abstracters. are
about the busiest people in town Of
late. Besides doing their share Of alb
stracting for the home people they
have large business from outside
firms. Messrs. Coplen and Hall were
unable to keen in sight of the incom-
ing orders for abstracts so they Sc
cured the services Of Miss Joseph, for
mer deputv assessor. In conversation
with Mr.. Hall this week he said his
firm had its indexes up to date. and
will not be han. pered by anything nec-
essary to give their customers assur-
ance Of economical service as well as
making your abstracts as near per-
fection as possible so far as the rec
ords of the county show. Both mem
bers in charge - the company's bust
ness stand high in the estimation of
Tucumcari citizens and it is n pleas
ure to record their merited success.

HOME MERCHANT RUNS INTO
MAI. ORDER CUSTOMER

A little debate which was quite in
terestinP as well as instructive. was
pulled of in one Of the local grocery
stores this week A customer called
and bought some groceries. He also
asked the price of sugar IL bought in
100-pound lots. The merchant told
him the price was ss45.
Customer-Not much. can buy 100
mounds Of sugar in Kansas City for
$500 and don't propose to give 81 AS
to any merchant.
Mer-|ant-But let me figure this
out for you. You send 500 to Kan
sas CITY; you nay cents for money
order 2 cents for hostage. s1.10 for
freight. and 25 cents to get the sugar
hauled from the depot to your home.
Now, add these figures together and
you find YOU pay sS.42 in cash for
your mailorder sugar saving three
cents. perhaps on the deal.
The merchant then proposed the fol-
lowing: II Mr.. customer would nav
him $500 in cash he would book his
order. within ten davs he would de-
liver the sugar and collect S1.42 upon
delivery for hostage. money order. and
freight, together with the drayage.
The grocery clerk was surprised to
have his customer refuse the PROPOSE
tion. but the customer was indignant
He thought his credit was questioned
bv the merchant asking him TO nav
cash in advance. something he had
never been required to do before.
There is moral in this circum-
stance and il don't have to be exnlain-
ed for anv sensible reader to under
stand. II you can't save moreSthan
2 cents on a sack of sugar. surely the
local grocer is not getting rich at the
nresent prices he is forced to charge
His health does not require him to
order Roceries and sell them to you
Mt cost. Your friendship 'yould hn
just as strong for him IL he required
n few cents profit for carving vour
name one and perhaps more months,
until you were able to nav your ar
count. BE reasonable and buy at home

WASHINGTON OFFICIALS KEEP
THEIR EYES ON CHINA
Believed That Country Will Not Enter
War as Active Participant at
Present Time.

Washington, March l7.-China' s
severance of relations with Germany
is not expected to lead to any further
developments at this time, unless Ger
many sees in the seizure of the Ger
man ships and sailors and the uncer-
tainty of obtaining a safe conduct for
her former officials, a cause 70 ra dec
laration Of war. Unless Germany de-
cides to make a move, the Chinese
government will stand in its present
position, at least until the United
States has taken another step.
1t is not believed that China will ac-
cept the entente's invitation to enter
the war as another active participant
unless the terms offered by the enten-
te become so attractive as to out
weigh opposition to such step on
the issues as at present laid down.
Six out of nine of the cabinet officers
have been educated abroad and arc
particularly anxious that China shall
uphold the best principles of interna-
tional law.
Minister Reinsch and the German
minister at Peking both contributed
materially to China's severance of re-
lations with Germany, according to
information here. The former pre-
sented Americas note urging neutrals
to follow the American action, while
the German minister presented COM
munication to the effect that he did
not believe China would take such a
step. Between the two, it is now learn
ed China felt there was only one way
open AID severance was agreed upon
just as soon as negotiations then in
progress with this country were fin
ished.
How the former German officials in
China are to get home is the cause of
much speculation, as Peking dispatch
es do not indicate that China intends
to secure safe conduct for them, as
was done in the case of the German
officials here. AS the Chinese pass
ports are good only in China, the only
neutral country to which they can 20
overland is Siam.

PRESIDENT AND CABINET LEAVE
DECLARATION OF WAR UP TO
CONGRESSMAN NOW EXISTS

says Germany will not back dcwn.
And certainly America is not going to
back down in enforcing her sovereign
rights of freedom on the high seas.
Both England and Germany have
done enough to cause us to go to war
with them. The difference is that
England seizes our ships, takes them
into her ports, coniiscates the cargoes
and then pays US for them. The Ger
man policy is to sink them on sight
and there is no compensation for hu-
man lives"

PUBLIC FORUM.

To the Readers OF the Diamond Drill:
In last weeks issue or the Diamond
Drill there appeared an article signed
"A Reader" which deliberately and
pointedly cast slur upon the pat
riotism OF those In authority in our
public schools by presuming to in
innate that such authorities have In
some way refused to allow our flag
to float Diver our schools. We do not
know the identity fthe Reader"
and we do not wish to know, as we
here desire to speak from principle,
and not from personality.
To the right-minded OF this COM
munity we need hardly declare that
such an assumption Is absolutely a
fabrication. III you have in mind any
question as TO the correctness OF this
latter assertion, just get in contact
with our schools. or "those in au-
thority." and undertake to start any
anti-Americanisml We submit that
we are demonstrating our patriotism
by deeds, and not misconcieved words.
We always court wholesome criti-
cism, and we are never supersensi-
tive over just criticism, or even pet
~ criticism, even though often we
may know such to falsely based; but,
in these tense and serious hours when
the real fibre OF our Americanism Is
being tested as never before, we re-
sent with all the forces at our com
mand any insinuations against our
loyalty, and especially when such In
tlmations are so evidently based up
on misconception, and so clearly, coa-
trary TO all facts,
The facts are that so constantly
has "our flag foated on our high
school pole during the present that
two flags have been practically worl
out, one being wholly destroyed, and
the other so badly frayed that a few
days since Il had to undergo essen
tial repairs. which OF necessity, pre-
vented its floating for two or three
days.
We submit the proposition that
while we are thinking and talking
much of our patriotism to our coun-
try as necessity to highest efficien-
cy, IL would be well to foster a pro-
portional spirit Of loyalty to our To-
cal Institutions, and OF justice t.
those in authority" AS in the RED
Cross and other national work and
exegiencies of the hour, is II not wis.
dom to determine facts before offer,
ing hasty adverse criticism and per
haps making vicious attacks which
ever hinder instead OF advancing Of
ficiency? The chronic kicker is neveI
a wholesome helper; neither is this
a time for grinding personal axes.
It is being constantly demonstrated
that those making unjust and vicious
assaults at this critical time are al
most invariably in heart and spirit
IL not evident action, essentially antii
instead OF loyal supporters and boost
ers. The gravity OF the hour demands
coordination and uplift, not diaboli
