STORE WINTER SUPPLIES.

A family of five, including two adults
and three children under IL years of
age, under ordinary living conditions,
should have stored for each month of
the winter season, the following food sup
plies: | bushel of Irish potatoes; u
bushel of other root vegetables such as
carrots, turnips, and parsnips; p quarts
of other vegetables; and 20 quarts of
canned fruit and preserves. These fig
ures are based ON estimates by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
which adds that most Of this should
come from the perishable products of
the many home gardens Of this year
With these figures as a basis. it is
thought that almost any family may
calculate its requirements. taking into

lions for the storage of late vege-

cellar where the temperature may
be controlled by means of outside
windows.
Barrels, crates, boxes or bins

Supreme Court decision that there
would be no railroad strike.
Secretary Lane made this formal
statement:
ave desire to express our apprecia-
ton Of the large and patriotic action
OF the railroad managers committee
which has put beyond peradyenture the
possibility of a nationwide railroad
strike.
"The railroads met the full demands
of the Adamson Eight-Hour Law. This
concession was secured as the culmina-
ton of two days and nights of negotia-
tions.
"Our first effort was to secure a
postponement Of the strike which was
fixed for Saturday night. This post
ponment was secured by presenting
to the railway managers a memoran-
dun agreement drafted by the brother
hoods, which in some particulars eN-
pressed the provisions of the Adam
son law. We asked the roads TO agree
that if the AdamsOn law was held TO
be constitutional that this construction
and application would be given 20 Il.
The railways agree 10 this at Joint
session between the brotherhood chlefs
and the managers and with much diff
Guilty the chiefs stayed the strike. an
act that was vital TO the success OF our
efforts and to further mediation.
1--WE sought some adjustment that
would be effective should the law be
held to be unconstitutional. In tins
regard many propositions were made
TO both sides. but none were acceptable
until the railroads expressed Will
ingness to place the whole matter IN
the hands of this committee.
"This action proceeded, as the letter
of the railway managers states, from
a desire to demonstrate to the country
that the railroads would not allow
their own conception of railroad policy
TO stand in the way of the fullest use
of the roads at a time of severe ma
tional strain. The committee consld-
cred the matter and decided that IN
view of the action of Congress IN pass
ing the Adamson law and the neces-
sjtv for immediate action II was best
TO adopt at Cnce the memorandum
agreement of the previous day as ap-
plicable under all conditions.
"Thus. the provisions of the eight
hour law by agreement between the
roads and the men became the basis OF
the settlement, and whether the Su-
preme Court holds for the validity OF
the law or against it there will be no
strike"
The brotherhood chiefs then sent out
code messages to their subordinetes
throughout the country, notifying them
that the strike order was nuiliiied by a
satisfactory settlement, and went back
to the Belmont 10 sleep.

VIII End Strikes,
Says u. S. Counsel
Railroad Decision VIII Lead
to Tribunal for Settling Dis
putes, Asserts Hagerman

Kansas City. Mo, March 1.-THE
Adamson law decision by the Supreme
Court means the end Of all strikes in
industries or utilities engaged in inter-
state service, in the opinion Of Frank
Hagerman. special government attorney
in the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf Rail
road case. which led up TO to-day's
ruling.
THE public is to be congratulated
on this decision" saws Mr.. Hagermsu
in statement issued to-day. 1T evi-
IDENTIFY means that the railroads and
their employees are engaged in a public
service. The great interest Of the pub
lie is to see that trains are kept in
motion This requires men as well as
engines and cars. These men must be
efficient. To be so requires health Of
body and contentment Of mind. Cnree
soucble hours and lack OF fair play
impair the health and breed discomfort.
at i, not. however a one-sided prop
osition The men, having devoted
themselves with the railroads TO this
public service. must do their part.
Therefore. the movement of trains
must not be stopped by such contro-
verses. If one arises, and both parties
cannot agree. Congress can keep trains
moving by fixing the wages and work
ing conditions. juss as it can settle
public controversies as to rates to be
charged and service to be rendered TO
SINNERS and passengers.
The logical result probably will be
the empowering Of some tribunal, like
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
to settle labor disputes. This would
end strikes in interstate industrial
work and give the men a tribunal from
which they always could obtain JUS
tice."
