Will Abandon Contest.

Robert F. Duor, republican OPP
ponet of Jesse D. Price at the last
election for Congress, has decided to
abandon the contest for Mr.. Prices
seat in Congress.
CONGRESSMAN Price was officially
returned as reelected in the district
last November by small plurality,
hut it was claimed by Republicans
az the time that trick ballots were
used in Worcester and several other
counties by the Democrats and that
the returns from these units should
be thrown out.

The dawn of brighter day TOR
the oppressed people of all Russia
has broken, as the hideous reaction
arv government with it's years and
years of misrule and political crimes
against civilization, has been com
pletely overthrown by revolution
as brief as it was effective.
Gar Nicholas has abdicated and
the real government is in the hands
of the Duma, members of which are
responsible to the people.
Pro-Germans have been thrown
into Jail and the German influence
in the government destroyed.
All this has been accomplished
after a three-day battle in Petrograd
between troops supporting the old
government and those opposed to 1t.
Nearly all the troops eventually join
ed the revolution. The Duma join
ed hands with the revolution, on
being dissolved by the emperor. and
declared that the existing govern
ment had been overthrown.
And now come rumblings from
Germany, also under an iron heel,
with the cry "Shall the world say
that all the nations on earth are free
except Germany"

The threatened railroad strike
has been averted by the railroad
magnates, under pressure OF the
United States Government, yielding
to the demands of the four employees
Brotherhoods for basic eight-hour
day. :,
S The settlement of the threatened
nationwide strike is a complete sur
render of the railroad chiefs to the
Brotherhoods, and it came eleven
hours before the decision of the Su-
preme Court declaring the recently
enacted Adamson Eight-Hour law
constitutional, when these same
arbitrary railroads would have been
forced to recede from their STAND.
The capitalistic press has been a
unit in placing the blame Oh
threatened industrial strife upon the
employees, whereas it was the stano
taken by the railroads that brought
matters to crisis.
Immediately on passage by Con-
gress of the Eight-Hour law, the
railroads took legal steps to prevent
the law being put in operation ana
defeat its purpose, by having 1t de-
clared unconstitutional, but the
Rrotherhoods have beaten them at
their own game, and the railroads
have finally been shown they can
not dictate quite all law-maklng IN
this country.
The controversy between the rail-
roads and their employees began IN
lime 1915, when members OF the
Brotherhoods in Boston passed reso-
lutions favoring an eight-hour DAY
with double pay for overtime. the
following December demands were
formulated by the national heads OIL
the organizations. These were modl-
fed somewhat, and finally served
upon the railroads, with the an
nouncement that an answer would
be expected by April 20. Numerous
conferences followed, all ending
abruptly, and finally a general strike
order was issued to become effectlVe
in September.
President Wilson then interviewed.
The strike order was rescinded only
after the President had appeared be-
fore Congress and had obtained the
passage of the Eight-Hour law.
BY the terms of the settlement
the combined salary list of the rail-
roads will be- increased approx
mately $6O,OO0,O0O a year, accord
ing to conservative estimates. The
number of workmen erofiting by this
increase will be more than 100000.

The Adamson Eight-Hour law has
been held constitutional and valid
in all respects by the Supreme Court
The announcement came eleven
hours after the railroads in New
York had agreed to demands made
by the railway trainmen to a settle
ment on the basis of the provisions
of the law.
The decision makes eight hours
the standard of a days work and
wages for men in operation of trains,
and legalizes the wage increase
which went into tentative effect on
it's passage.
The ruling of Federal Judge Hook,
in the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf
Railroad test case, in Kansas City
enjoining enforcement of the Adam
son act and holding it 'unconstitu-
tional, null and void" was reversed
The Courts decision rendering the
law valid was five to four.

THE NINTH DISTRICT FARMERS
CLUB.
Meets AT Home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
III. l.. Kirk.

Meets At Home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
HI. l.. Kirk.
The Ninth District Farmers Club
was held at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. l.. Kirk, Wednesday, March
z. The meeting was called to order
by the president. These members
answered roll call-Mr. and Mrs. H.
L. Kirk, Mr.. and Mrs. E.. F. Kirk,
Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Mckinney Mr..
A. M SPOTS, Mr.. and Mrs. s. G.
Smith, Mr.. and Mrs. Howard R.
Brown. Visitor, Miss Grace A. Will
son.
Minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved.
At this time most of the members
took part in discussion of the use
of incubators, and raising little
chicks.
Lunch being announced, G. w.
Mckinney, A. M. SPOTS and s. G.
Smith were appointed committee on
premises. Adjourned for lunch.
On re-convening c. W. Mckinney
reported, horses, very nice; cows,
Q heifers, 9 shoats, l mother pig and
7 little ones, plenty hay, straw, fod-
der, oats and lot Of corn, some
wheat. Nice pile of wood all cut.
Very nice chicken house, and great
many eggs as well as Rhode Island
Red chickens in it.
Mrs. H. L. Kirk read paper on
canning Meats and Vegetables. She
was of the opinion that there was
no excuse for farmers being without
meat and vegetables at all seasons
of the year. "If the housewives
would only put more of the fresh
meat and vegetables in glass jars,
they would not have to patronize the
butcher and grocer so much, and
that would save large bills she said.
Mrs. Kirk then asked each lady what
experience and success she had along
this line. Some had done quite
little along either or both of these
lines. Some had been very success
full in keeping meats by cooking and
covering with lard. Mrs. G. w.
Mckinney and Mrs. 8. c. Smith
answered questions.
Adjourned to meet April 4, 1917
with Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. Kirk.

previous.

We slowed up as we neared the
