WIL SON WILL SETTLE WAGE
 DEMANDS OF RAILROAD MEN

ruary, but was not reported upon by the board until the sixteenth of July The delay was unavoidable because the board was continuously engaged in detailing with several wage mat ters affecting classes of employees who had not previously received con sideration. The board, now having appraised us of this inability at any rate for the time being, to agree up- on recommendation it is clearly our duty to proceed with the matter in the hope of disposing of it.
 Men Made Obstacle.
 "You are therefore, authorized to say to the railroad shop employees that the question of wages they have raised will be taken up and considered on it's merits by the director general in conference with their duly accredi- ted representatives. hope that you will make it clear to the men con- cerned that the railroad administra- tion cannot deal with problems of this sort or with any problems affecting the men, except through the duly chosen international officers of the regularly constituted organization and their authorized committees.
 Matters of so various nature and affecting so many men cannot be dealt with except in this way. Any action which brings the authority of the authorized representatives of the organization into question or dis credits it, must interfere with, if not prevent, action altogether. The chief obstacle to decision has been crea- ted by the men themselves. They have gone out on strike and repudia- ted the authority of their officers at the very moment when they were urg- ing action in regard to various inter- ests.
 Must Return to Work.
 "You will remember that a con- ference between yourself and the au- thorized representatives of the men was arranged at the instance of these representatives for July 28, to dis stancescuss the wage question and the question of national agreement, but before this conference took place, or could take place, local bodies of rail- way shopmen took action looking to- ward strike on the first of August. fAS result VI CHIS dCClOIi, VdIlOuS strikes actually took place before there was an opportunity to act in a, satisfactory or conclusive way with respect to the wages. In the pres ence of these strikes and the repudia- tion of the authority of the represen- tatives of the organization concerned, there can be consideration of the matter ncontroversy. Until the em- ployes return to work and again rec ognize the authority of their own or ganization the whole matter rr'.st be at a standstill.

1t does not possess the necessary felt

The ordinary retah price Of similar

PAID FOR FAULT OF EMPRESS
How Foot Stunning of Chinese Women,
With Its Accompanying Agonles,
Was Originated.

A small foot was at one time more
greatly desired by the women of China
than any other item Of feminine beau
ty. How the practice of stunning
the feet originated is told by
Henry Charles SIR In "China as De
scrbed by Great Writer'S" He says:
'The empress of an emperor, who
reigned in China before the food
was found by her llege lord near the
apartment of one of the principal Off
GERS of the household, who had the
reputation Of being lady-killer. Re
celving from the emperor a severe
reprimand, the frightened woman
pleaded in her defense that 1t was not
her fault, but the fault Of her feet,
which were so very large they bore
her to the forbidden precincts against
her will. Thereupon the emperor or
dered the fore part Of her feet ampu'
tated. To conceal the fact the en-
press announced that she was to In
troduce a new fashion Of small feet,
and all about her were ordered to do
likewise.
At six years Of age the Chinese girl
started to curb her feet. The foot,
below the instep, was forced into
line with the leg, the toes then
doubled down under the sole Of the
foot, the big toe being made to over
lap the others. Bandages were then
applied with horrible pressure, and
FOR civ weeks the child suffered In.
tolerable agony. After this period
the pain subsidized and the child could
totter about on the stumps. This Gus
tom was abolished, with other relics
of early Chinese practices, by royal
edlct several years ago.
