Mayor HyJan Earns New York City's
Thanks.

The acute phase Of the labor dis
pute which has hampered transporta-
ton In the harbor Of New York since
January and for weeks In that
period actually paralyzed the COM
morce Of the port mas been brought
to an end, and the satisfactory solu-
ton Of all the difficulties between en-
ployers and employees 10 In sight. The
credit for having accomplished this
result belongs to one man, and that
man 10 Mayor JOHN r. HYLAN.
From the beginning Of this conten-
ton last year there was no lack of
mediatory or palliative agencies
anxious to bring the men and the
boat owners Into accord. Eight boards,
commissions or committees, some of
them oficial, others private, sought to
induce the contending parties to reach
an agreement. None of them succeeded.
Last week the situation had become
so complicated and the feelings of
employees and employers had grown
80 bitter that a tie-up more complete
than that Of last January was conf
IDENTIFY predicted. Apparently every
resource Of compromise and concllia-
ton, from those which derive author
ity at the White House itself to
those Of less august beginnings but
not less earnest purpose, had failed
to avert the calamity of a general
stoppage of traffic on the bay and
river. What that meant in incon-
venience, In loss of money, in actual
suffering for the people of New York
and the surrounding territory needs
no description here.
Under these circumstances Mayor
HYIAN undertook the apparently hope
less task Of inducing the labor unions
and the boat owners TO compromise
their differences in manner which
would relieve the community of the
immediate menace hanging over it
and give fair promise of an ultimate
adjustment of their concerns of an
enduring nature. Few persons be-
lleved he would succeed. The ami
mostly engendered by a struggle of
more than three months duration
seemed too much to overcome. The
confidence Of each side in its ability
to defeat the other did not make for
humility. But Mayor HYLAN went
at the task with vigor and determl-
nation, and in the end he effected n
settlement from which permanent
good results now seem likely to flow.
Mayor HYLAN had behind him the
authority Of the city government and
the strong desire of the public to see
in end put to what looked like
chronic industrial disease. These
counted for much. But the Mayor
had something more on his side. He
spoke the language Of the strikers.
He spoke the language of the boat
owners. He spoke the language of
the people Of New York. He used
no rhetorical frllls and he put for
ward no theories. He appealed to
the common sense, the common inter-
est, the patriotism of both sides, and
in the. end he brought men and en-
ployers\ together on Saturday in a
manner which forty-eight hours be-
fore would have been declared impos-
sible by the most accomplished arbi-
traitor of highbrOw proclyitieS.
Thus Mayor HYLAN did good
thing for the strikers, good thing
for the boat owners and a far better
thing for the people of this commu-
nifty, and by doing 1t he earned the
thanks Of all of us.

MlLLERS HAVE SCHEME TO
SWlNDLE WHEAT GROWERS

Only timely action of congress can
save the farmers from the latest
scheme Of the milling interests to get
under the government guarantee Of
1925 per ,bushel and get wheat this
year ut aimuch lower figure. Heat,
drouth and other causes have produced
hundreds Of millions Of bushels Of
-shriveled wheat. The present federal
grain grading laws permit the purchase
of such wheat as lower and cheaper
grade. 1t is believed that much Of it
will be graded in class that will bring
only $3.50 per bushel. 5ss!
The senate agricultural committee
has uncovered a scheme Of the millers
to buy the grain around this figure and
make it into high-grade flour command
ing top prices. Unless the government
makes changes In wheat standards the
farmer will lose hundreds Of millions
Of dollars and the millers will make
fortunes at their expense.
The federal grades are not based ON
the flour producing quality Of the
wheat. On the contrary, the grades
established in North Dakota are based,
on the actual grades Of flour the wheat
will produces. It is believed that the
federal government may be compelled
to adopt the North Dakota system, IL
1t properly protects the farmer.

NOTED EXPERT FAvORS
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

Another blow was struck against the
private ownership of public utilities
when Delos f. Wilcox, New. York
franchise expert, told the federal cleo
trical railroad commission last week
that private street railway systems In
the United States have broken down
and that municipal ownership is the
only solution Of the American street
railway problem.
Drawing from an experience with
trolley matters running back over
many years, Mr.. Wilcox stated that
street railways should yield a fixed re-
turn and should not be based on
speculation; that service instead Of
profit should be the governing motive
behind street railways; that strikes
should be avoided by affortllng full
protection to the workers, and that
the operatives should be organized and
should be given q share in the man.
agement of the street railway systems.
mo ultimate solution of, the problems
can be reached said Mr.. Wilcox, ..un-
less we undertake local transportation
as public function" /,
These same conclusions were reached
recently by the public utilities COM
mission of Massachusetts,.

ARMY TRUCKS HERE TO
AID IN ROAD BUILDING

New and valuable three and fiye-ton
army trucks are coming into the state
highway commission every day from
various army camps throughout the
country. They are sent by the war de-
partment to be used in building and
maintaining state roads which received
federal aid.
The trucks are being distributed to
the counties as soon as they come
Over 800 Of them have been assigned
to the state. but as yet only part Of
that number has arrived. Some coun-
ties have asked for as high as 20 of
these trucks to be used in lettering
their ronds. sls
The government specifies that they
can be used for no other purpose than
building and maintaining roads IN
counties which have federal aid pro.
jects. Next year 1t is planned to In
crease the number Of miles Of road laid
with the aid of the squadrons Of
trucks.

.LESS0NT0 STATE
Prosperity and Safety Rest on
Diversified Farming, De-
clares Dr.. Laid.

The decline of the North Dakota
wheat crop at least 50 per cent. under
original estimates should constitute the
most impressive lesson the state has
ever had in the value Of diversified
farming, according to President e. f.
Ladd of the state Agricultural college.
north Dakota placed its main de-
pendence in wheat as usual" said DIR.
Ladd, "and near the end of year
which started out under the most pro-
pitious circumstances, it finds 1t placed
its eggs in the wrong basket. The only
remedy for this condition is for the
farmers of this state to place their eggs
in the future in several baskets.
1T has unfortunately happened that
the peculiar agencies destructive to
wheat crops were usually prevalent in
the state this year. With drouth in the
west hot winds and moisture spreading
rust in the east, and with plague Of
grasshOppers, North Dakota's special
crop-her almost exclusive market bas-
ket-fared badly. 9 as
I'm striking contrast to this, is the
condition of other crops, showing that
had the crops Of this state been prop
erly diversified, the farmers would have
hardly noticed the wheat losses. AS it
is, many who placed their entire reli-
ance on wheat are almost ruined.
"Among the crops that have appar-
emily not suffered are corn and alfalfa.
We have a good corn crop coming on in
the eastern part of the state, and even
In the western part where the dr0uth
has wrought such havoc with wheat,
the crop Is doing well. Alfalfa seems
to be doing well everywhere. These
crops have almost entirely escaped the
serious deterioration wheat has suf-
fered. ~.
There are other distinct advantages
In raising these crops along with wheat
and other crops. They supply the best
kind of feed for dairy cows, hogs and
poultry. Farmers who keep these do
nestle animals will find that they will
provide constant income for the fam
lily the year round. From such DIVERSE
fed farming come valuable by-products.
A variety of crops also furnish crop
rotation which keeps the soil free from
infection and enables the raising of
maximum crops. One crop of corn or
potatoes gets the land in splendid
shape for q wheat crop, and alfalfa,
because 1t supplies the soil with nitro
gen, is one Of the best fertilizers
known" 81, sssf

WOMENS DRESS VULGAR
SAY FEMALE. DOCTORS
Feminine Physicians Say Their Sis
ters Do Not Clothe Themselves
For Warmth

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-The ses-
sions of the International Conference
of Women Physicians are bringing
forth grave charges against the NOR
ality of dress among American women
from DR.. Edith Hale Swift of Boston,
Mass.
DR.. Swift's bitter words about the
wiles of her sisters brought wildly
applauded retort from Mrs. Beatrice
Forbes Robertson Hale, who declared
the American woman was at least self
conscious and blamed all her apparent
foibles on man.
Among the few kind words offered
by DIR. Swift, who herself dresses with
austerity and whose platform manner
is in harmony with her dress, were
these:
"Tne sole purpose Of dress of the
American woman Of today is sex ap-
peal. They don't dress to keep warm,
but to attract the attention of men.
The American woman wears a square
of court rlacter on her cheek to tempt
r;rch Sne wears'her gown low cut
in The back to tempt a kiss on the
shoulder.
"She wears dress to show the cor
tour Of her limbs to beget an invita-
tion +, the dance because if those
| limhs ar. beautifully curved she knows
she will be asked to dance whether she
dances we'll or not. She dresses in such
way that even good and serious
minded men will assume light ve'r
/ in conversation with her.
"The American woman dresses to at
tract a mate. But the woman wh'
mates with a man attracted by sucl
devices will mate unwisely. Yet th'
woman of today regards it as her frs
duty to chase down man. Her mai
occupation is to seek the newest ant
most extravagant styles in the stores
using no thought Of hygiene or mod
esty in making her choice.

]. S. M'INTYRE GETS
MASONIC APPOINTMENT
c. F. Kehl Who Attended Big State
Convention Held in st. Louis
Returns Home.

j. S. Mcintyre, formerly of this city
and now a prominent st. Louis attor-

pointment according to C. F. Kehl, who
has just returned from the annual con.
vention hel din st. Louis.
Mr.. Mcintyre was appointed Grand
Senior Deacon which is one of the

Letters have been published fron
Mr.. Mcintyre who has been travelling
through the west and in Alaska from
time to time in the Ledger. Monday
he was in Mexico on the way to his
home in st. Louis to attend the COIL
vention. He has many friends in thi;
city who will be glad to hear of his

ion to build in conjunction with the
various Masonic bodies in st. Louis, a
Masonic Home to cost $1,000,00J
where the bodies can meet for their
sessions and for any other purpose
necessary.
Among those present at the conven-
