|LAB0R'S CRY. FOR
MORE |. P|:LETH0RIC
CHECK IS NEEDED.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Higher wages
will be asked of the railroad admins
tratiOn soon by nearly all classes of
organized railroad labor. 1t was learn
er yesterday that many pending wage
disputes will he transferred to the gov
eminent from railway executives
boards, and in other cases new de-
mands will be formulated for presen-
tation to Director General McAdoo,
who probably will deal with them
through Investigating boards.
Strikes are not contemplated by
organization, it is said, and wage
questions will not be put to the di-
rector general as demands. Railroad
labor leaders are represented as not
seeking to take advantage of govern
ment operation to press for more pay,
but rather as pointing out the necess'
ity of wage increases to keep en-
ployes from being attracted to other
industries. 8.
Big Four Demands. ..
Up to the present the only general
demands for wage increases consider
ed BY Director General McAdoo are
those presented by the four railway
brotherhoods and the switchmen's un.
ion, whose president, S. E. Heberling,
conferred with Mr.. McAdoo today. The
brotherhoods' case will be investigat.
ed by board of four to be named
by the director general tomorrow, and
he may also ask this body to inquire
into the switchmen's demand, which
now is being considered by a COM

senting all roads. ....

day that he expected to name rail

Fuel Administrator.
Washington, Jan. 1O.-Investigatio
of the coal shortage by the senate
manufacturers committee turned We'd
nesday to conditions in Ohio, Missouri
and the national capitol.
Suffering and general disruption
of the coal business in Ohio was
charged directly to Fuel Administrat-
or Garfield and priority orders carry
ing more coal to lake ports than YES
sells could handle by James B. Dugan,
chief inspector of the public utilities
commission of Ohio. He said that
Ohio officials feared trouble in get
ting coal this winter because of great
increase in consumption and lack Of
transportation facilities and last sum-
mer inaugurated system Of sup
plying the small consumer. This sys-
TEN was working out as expected, he
declared, until it was superseded by
the state fuel administration.
Frank w. McAllister, attorney gen
eral OF Missouri, told the committee
investigation in his state had develop
ed that production this year was re-
duced about 80 per cent and 1t was
caused by many miners working only
four days week, as they could earn
as much in four days now as they
formerly did in six, and by shortage
of cars at mines. Prices had doubled
and in some cases trebled, he testified.
Mr.. McAllister believed only govern
ment control Of the mines would solve
the problem.

REDEMPTION OF PALESTINE

Minneapolis JOurnal-Promoted by
the Christian nations OF the west, sew
en- crusades covering two centuries
we're sent to deliver the Holy Sepul-
cher from the hands Of the Moslem.
None Of these succeeded. But in
these latter days, Gen. Allenby and
his British troops in less than
year have not only redeemed the Holy
Sepulcher, but the birthplace Of Christ
and now his boyhood home.
British cavalry Is 10Y galloping
over the Plain Of EsdraelOn, where
Deborah and Barak and 1.-THE stars in
their courses fought against Sisera";
where Gideon and his band Of three
hundred with pitchers and trumpets
routed 1.-The Midianites and the Anal
akites and all the children OF the east
that lay along the valley like grass
hoppers for multitude, and their
camels were without number as the
sands by the seaside for multitude"
On the east of Esdraelon, British
men in khaki have taken Mount Gil
boa, where Saul died and his three
sons and his armor bearer, and all his
men that same day together" Brit
ish soldiers may have camped on the
site of. Naboth's vineyard that King
Ahab stole, and may have watered
their horses in the pool where Ahab's
blood was washed from his war
chariot.
This Plain of Esdraelon was the
great wheat field and garden Of Israel,
so tempting to the heather that 1t
was raided alternately b. 1.-The chill.
dren OF the east" and the Philistines.
1t was up this Sharon plain, by way
Turk, that the philistines Of old used
to outflank the Children of Israel,
when harvest was on in the big wheat
fields OF central palestine. and the
heather felt their annual longing to
go and reap where they had not
strawed."
Soon British airplanes will be fly
ing over the Mount OF Transfigura-
ton and above the SHOWS of Hermon;
and British Tommies will pitch their
pup tents on the very shore where
Jesus spoke the parable of the sower,
and will supplement their supper ra-
ton with fish such as Peter drew out
on that spot, when 1.-THE net brake
with the multitude OF the fishes"
This deliverance of the Holy Land,
it seems, must be its final redemp-
ton from the hand Of the unspeak-
able Turk. With the butcheries Of
Armenia this villain nations cup Of
iniQuity must be full. To the whole
world. except Germany. the Turk is
a horrible o~ffense, unbearable from
henceforth. AS a people the Turks
may be made fit to exist; but as a ma
ton Turkey should die forever on the
very day the worlds peace pact is
signed.
