GENERAL STRIKE
 ON R. R. IS HELD
 IMPOSSIBLE NOW

New York, March 21.-Fun power by the, government through Congress to prevent railroad strikes is, in the opinion of the railroads, as expressed here today, the country's chief gain from the decision by the United States supreme court yesterday upholding the Adamson law.
 An official spokesman for the na- tionaI conference committee of rail- road managers authorized the follow ing statement:
 '~The chief thing that the country has gained out of this decision is that it establishes beyond doubt that the government through congress has full power to prevent railroad strikes The opinion as read by Chief Justice White makes it plain that employees of interstate carriers, because of the public character of the railroads, are affected with a public interest and that they have no more right to strike and tie up the commerce of the coun- try than have soldiers and sailors.
 ''The same idea was expressed by President Wilson in public speech at Shadow Lawn during the cam paign, when he said:s America is new CT going to say to any individual "You must work whether you want to or snot,'' but it is privileged to say to an organization or persons ''you must not interrupt the national life without consulting us.''
 It is understood that Secretary Lane, who was chiefly instrumental in bringing about the settlement, be- neves that this broad opinion from the court as to the public duties of the employees is the most important thing gained.
 The brotherhood chiefs and a sub committee of the managers conferred yesterday for, the purpose of working out the general principles by which existing pay contracts may be made to conform to the agreement reached here and to the Ada.mson law.
 The actual labor of effecting detail ed changes in pay schedules will be done in conferences between the in- dividual managers of roads and the general chairmen of the four brother hoods of men on those roads.
 It developed today that between B. 900 and 5000 passenger employees, most of them on eastern roads, are to benefit under the agreement just reached.

Under revised contracts the overtime pay of these men is to begin with the 11th hour each day, instead of with the 18th hour as at present. This will reduce the working day to 10 hours, includ- ing Spread" time, as compared with 12 hours.

It is considered that people who live extravagantly should pay high taxes as they show that they have plenty of money; and that people who live frugally should pay high taxes, as their economy must have allowed them to save a lot with which to pay.

thrift and proper prosperity. The production of homegrown food does not involve in the least the limita- tion of the crop output of the farm. It simply requires planning and a little more careful management. COW or two to furnish the family with milk, butter and cheese, and a flock of chickens to furnish poultry and eggs, will do much to make farm far more healthful and cheaper.

great task of determining the order in

was drawn, and was kept up continu-
ously until early Saturday morning,

drawn, but it is not likely that men
holding numbers drawn after the first
1000 will be summoned before the
boards for service in the first army.
According to the officials in charge,
the first 1000 numbers drawn repre-
Sented more than million men.
The draft was invested with all the
dignity and solemnity becoming so i'm

by distinguished company. The first
