Nation Master in Own House

Nation Master in Own House
'The nation means to be master in
her own house. Mr.. Lloyd George de-
clared "a just master, fair master,
a generous master, but always master IN
her own house.
This was naturally accepted as a
proclamation of the premier's view that
the government won victory over the
strikers j. II. Thomas, secretary OF
the National Union of Railwaymen and
leader of the recent strike, speaking at
Albert Hall on Sunday night, dwelt
upon the settlement as u compromise,
and yesterday issued statement ap-
pealing for reconciliation and burial
of hard feelings. Labor papers appear
to differ with Mr.. Thomas as to some
aspects of the strike settlement
When Lloyd George makes an i'm
portant speech newspapers try to read
between the lines to discover his political
purposes. The general Interpretation of
this speech is that the premier mas
broken with tabor unions and wants to
draw to his support the middle classes,
who apparently tended to troop away
from him as a result Of the recent fierce
campaign upon alleged governmental
extravaganza.
Roberts Accuses RaiImen
George II. Roberts. British food con-
troller, speaking last night, laid the
blame for break in the negotiations
on the railwaymen, accusing them OIL
adoptipg "methods of secret diplo-
macy and declaring the settlement of
wage matters must be taken out OF
the hands of political officials.
Mr.. Roberts's last point is in line
with the general sentiment of the
country, as voiced by the newspapers
A project is afoot for organizing an
executive committee of all sections of
labor to carry on negotiations with
employers.
The American movement along the
same lines is being watched keenly by
the British An emergency trades
union congress may be held TO make
arrangements to give labor represen
tatives power to approach the govern =
mept if negotiations with employers
fail.
Traffic Still Dislocated
The dislocation of railway traffic be
cause of the strike has not yet been
remedied. At several stations today
there was displayed a plaWrd which
announced the companies hoped to re
sumo normal traffic tomorrow.
Thousands of workers who expected
to return home as usual on suburban
train last night We're disappointed, and
lines Containing hundreds of persons
waited until late as night at tram
terminals for rides.

the birds are found skirting the edge

A few individuals are occasionally
seen along the New England coast or
Long Island coast in the fall, but the
fiocks of thousands and thousands OF
these gregarious birds which alter
nate from pole TO pole have never
been met by any trained observer
competent to learn their preferred
path and their time schedule. They
must travel at least $50 miles day

pursuit of food-to carry them within
the world to the other.

of sunlight than any other creature
