HINES AND RAILWAY
men FIX new SCALE

Washington, d. CA new wage and
working agreement was signed late
Monday between the railroad admins,
tration and officials Of the Brother
hood of Maintenance of Way Employees
and Railway Shop Laborers.
While demands of the union were
not fully met, the eight-hour basic day
was established for track laborers and
others Of that classification, and time
and half pay after eight hours was
provided. Most of the other employees
included under the agreement will re-
ceive time and a half overtime pay
after 10 hours.
Signing of the new contract by Di-
rector General Hines ended negotia-
tons which have been in progress
since February. Approximately AGO.
900 men are affected, railroad admin
istration officials estimated. The con-
tract also provides that it shall be ap.
plicable during the period of federal
control unless notice of 80 days is
given of its cancellation.

Kansas City Railway Switch.
men Strike Is Cancelled

Kansas City, Mo.-The strike of rail
way switchmen here, which began Sat
urday, was called off by the strikers
early Monday.
Calling off the strike, it was an
nounced, followed a vote taken at a
mass meeting of strikers which lasted
far into the night. The strikers have
returned.
Ending of the switchmen's strike, il
was said here, will greatly relieve the
serious situation confronting the city
because of the fuel famine, due to the
coal miners strike. Whether requests
made by the city officials for federal
troops to be used in connection with
the strike will be rescinded could moi
be learned early Sunday.
The strike has been termed unau
thorized by national officials of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
and a representative of the national
officers attended the strike meeting
and counseled the men to return to
work.

The note, which some officials indi

to sharp demand by this govern

was disclosed, but officials in touch
with the situation believed it was
more emphatic than any sent hereto

Governors of Seven Common
WeaIths Confer.
RELIEF is IMPERATIVE
Fuel Administrator for Each State IL
Recommended Equitable Dis
tributiOn IL Asked.

Chicago of seven soft
coal producing states, at conference
Sunday, agreed that the state govern
ments should take "all possible" steps
to obtain the production of coal, and
recommended to the federal govern
ment that complete fuel administra-
ton with an administrator for each
state appointed by the governor be
perfected Immediately. The state ex-
ecutives also requested equitable dis
tribution of coal under uniform and
rigid regulations in all states.
The governors participating in the
conference called by Governor Gard.
ner of Missouri announced that they
had adjourned to meet in st. Louis
next Sunday to await the further de-
velopment of the federal governments
plans for bringing about resumption
Of production of coal. Miles c. Riley
of Madison, Wis.,, secretary of the
conference, was instructed to proceed
to Washington to remain there tenn.
porarily as the governors represent
alive and ito present to the authori-
ties the seriousness of the situation
in the states"
The state executives were in agree
ment that their states faced a seri-
Gus shortage of coal and that only
the utmost conservation of all fuel
and the most rigidly supervised dis
tribution would prevent suffering of
the people and disaster to industry.
Governor Gardner said it was the
sentiment of the meeting that the
governors should make every effort
to have the state governments meet
the coal situation in their common
wealths. It. was desired to cooper
ate with the federal government and
until the government had further time
to put it's plans for increasing pro-
duction into effect no further action
by the governors conference would
be taken until the next meeting.

Canadian Takes Rap at Plan
for Eight-Hour Day.
PRODUCTION is FIRST
Other Delegates From Neighborina
State, However, Favor Plan
to Shorten Hours.

Washington, D. Reconsideration Of
the draft convention proposed by the
committee to limit the hours of work
in industry to eight hours a day and
4S hours week was begun Monday
by the international labor conference
and enough progress made to indicate
it's adoption probably soon.
The conference adopted the clause
defining the industrial undertaking
to which the agreement would apply
with an amendment which provided
that questions relating to navigation
on inland waterways be referred to q
special conference.
Opposition to the convention as q
whole was expressed by s. r. Parsons
employers delegate from Canada, who
insisted the general application Of
the shorter working day would, dc
cording to actual experience, greatly
lessen production" Now when the
government of the country, he said, il
calling on manufacturers to increase
their output and exports in order tc
meet heavy national obligations moth
ing should be done which would tend
to hinder them in their efforts.
1.-THE cost of living" he added
could be reduced only by increased
production and to ignore this funda
mental truth is to blind our eyes to
the actual facts"
1T is generally recognized" Mr.
Parsons said, chat unless the United
States accepts similar extension il
would be placing an unfair burden
upon Canadian employers and the
country at large to be bound by terms
of the proposed convention"
Newton D. Rowell, government dele.
gate from Canada, disagreed with Mr.
Parsons, saying he feared" the posi-
ton of Canada might be misunderstood
as result of Mr.. Parsons remarks
He announced that he and the other
Canadian government representatives
would vote for the convention.
"The action Of the government OF
Canada does not depend upon the &C
ton of the government of the United
States in dealing with these matters, ;
he declared.
Mr.. Rowell pointed out that the
Canadian parliament already had ap.
proved the treaty containing the labor
clause and the league of nations GOV.
enant, and that since it had approved
them the government of Canada would
carry out the obligations it assumed
in the treaty, in spirit as we'll as in
letter."
The conference admitted Luxem.
burg to membership.

incident to their military service; al
most Is per cent were the victims Of
tuberculosis, and not quite II per cent
were afflicted with temporary or per-
manent mental disorders; about per
cent were gassed; 6 per cent had res
piratory affections other than tuber-
culOsis, and per cent were paralyzed.
About 1900 Of these cases have been
treated in hospitals and about 1000
men are undergoing hospital treatment
at the present time.
1t should be borne in mind that
these cases represent less than I per
cent of the total number Of men in
service during the war with Germany.
The total strength of the army,
navy and marine corps to November
II, 1918, was 4,791,172. All of these
are potentially patients Of the bureau
Of war risk insurance.
1t is estimated at the present time
that at least 641, 300 men were dis
charged from military service with
some disability. Estimates which
have been prepared by the chief med
tcal adviser on 513,5OO Of these men
show that about 25 per cent of these
cases Of disability are due to diseases
of the nervous system or mental aHen-
ation-about 10000 cases. Thirteen
per cent suffer from diseases Of the
circulatory system and almost 10 per
cent from diseases of the bones and
organs Of locomotion, and at least 8
per cent, or about 10000, have tubercu-
losis.
Humanity In the Raw.
To follow up series of these cases
through the division and see the way
in which they are handled is to come
into intimate contact with humanity
in the raw. Within the brick-red
fiber folder with it's scarlet edge are
encompassed the records of the most
important happenings of many life.
Here are certificates of birth, nor
riage and death, records of military
service, reports Of physical examina-
lions, treatments received, operations
performed, and letters from parents,
wives, relatives and friends. In fact,
1t would be possible to write the COM
plete biography of many a man from
the data collected in this one small
space.
Side by side, and handled in exact
ly the same way, are the cases Of COL
onels, captains. corporals; white men,
colored men and Indians; men who
know no English-men who are Hitter
ate, and men who have received their
education at the finest institutions Of
learning in the world. The case Of a
"marinette" is beside that of a ma
jor general, while that of q nurse is
next in order to that of private whom
she nursed back to life. They have,
however, one thing in common: they
have suffered hurt in the service of
their country. Very seldom indeed do
they try to get more than their Just
dues, and many times they state that
they do not wish compensation, all
that they require being an opportunity
to be cured of their diseases or healed
of their wounds, so that they may pur-
sue again their peacetime avocation.
Approximately $500 major amputa-
tions have occurred as a result of the
war with Germany.
Up to September 10, 1919, there were
exactly 1900 claims for artificial
limbs. OF these. 621 were artificial
uegs and $40 were artificial arms.

The beautiful curls and sweet face
Of little Corlis Theresa Nolan, who
sat with her father, Representative
John I. Nolan, on the floor Of the
house while that body was receiving
King Albert, attracted Queen Eliza
beth in the gallery. When the little
girl waved and smiled gayly at her
highness the queen asked an intro
duction. She kissed the child on each
cheek and asked where she was from.
When little Corlis proudly claimed
California as her home the queen said:
"Oh, so it was you that brought the
sunshine"

DICKENS LEAVES WHITE
EARTH RESERVATION
FOR TEXAS OIL FIELDS
Wa. Former Superintendent at
Red Lake; Good Friend
of the Indians

w. F. Dickens, formerly superin-
tendent of the Red Lake Indian reser-
vation, and later given charge OF the
White Earth reservation, has left for
the oil fields of Texas. Mr.. Dickens
was a success in the government In
dian department and his services are
now being sought outside of the fed
eral field: His leaving Minnesota
will be regretted by many, especially
the Indians, whose friend he ever
was.
The oil fields will prosper by his
going and the friends of Mr.. Dickens
certainly hope that he will profit
equally we'll. Something says that
his stay in the southern territory will
be short. But it takes Dickens to
make money quickly and if he does
not make it that way he will try q
different proposition rather than re-
main in a climate of which he thinks
less than that of Minnesota.
