an view Of this required procedure
I think We. are entitled to state the
facts, which are that the Taft-Walsh
plan, which has been referred to as
the decision OF the board, was re-
jected by the board under the above
procedure by Ase votes. Following
this failure of unanimous action there
was no appointment OF an umpire.
and, therefore. under the prescribed
procedure OF the board itself. no de-
cision.
1--WE desire to be perfectly fair with
you. sir, as we have been with the
board. We are not favorable to shar-
ing the responsibility OF conducting
culiar features or the telegraph,
which the exigencies Of the war have
increased many fold. with members
OF an outside organization whose in
terests are personal rather than
public.

Il need not remind you, sir. that
the primary obligations OF a telegraph

tect these essentials not only during

this end there are, II seems to us, two
plans of procedure. One, compulsory
arbitration, which, as we recall, you
urged upon Congress at the time the
great railway strike was imminent.

When q flock of sheep appeared not

White House grounds, desire TO
match the President" In helping to
increase the country's mutton and wool
supply was manifested by many per-
sons whose responsibility covered big
lawns, golf courses and city parks.
Many public parks, golf courses. ana
private lawns in the country may be so
situated that they can profitably be
made to serve as grazing grounds for
sheep. 1t is believed that their use
for grazing sheep would have not only
sentimental value but a practical one.
But owners and persons charged with
the care Of such property are advised
to investigate the matter thoroughly
before they embark in the enterprise
of raising sheep. Sheep raising In
