The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1919-08-08

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-With the
declaration by President Wilson that
until the men return to work and again
recognize the authority of their own
organization the whole matter of wage
increases must be at standstill, the
next step in the railroad strike situa-
ton thus put squarely up to the en-
ployes themselves was being awaited
today.
Tho few reports that had been re-
= ceived early today indicated a willing
\ ness on the part of some OF the strik-
ing shopmen to comply with the re-
quest and it was believed nearly all OF
the $4,000 men reported idle yesterday
would follow suit.
President Wilson's statement was
contained in communication to Di-
rector General Hines in which the Di-
rector General was authorized to take
up the wage demands of the Brother
hood members and decide them on
their merits.

It's the wheel that squeks that gets
the grease. If you have comp
plant, take it to the proper place;
aine times out of ten the wrong will
be righted and you will benifit your
self and the community.
Are you planning a Christmas pro-
gram? Write to the Recreation De-
partment of the Montana State Col
lege at Bozeman for a "ready-made"
one.
The home newspaper could be put
to better use than building fires. When
you are through reading it, mail it to
some friend who has moved from your
home town and who longs for news
from home. Suggest to him that he
mail it to some other wanderer and
Illus make chain of happiness.

WINTER CARE OF ENGINE

Bozeman, Montana Dec. 8.-'Tn put

cultural engineer at the State College.
Put fresh oil on governors Just be-
fore stopping; add one pint OF lubri-
eating oil to the last five gallons Of
fuel oil used, as this will prevent rust
ing Of the fuel tank inside. Paint the
exhaust pipe to prevent rust; put libri.
eating oil into printing cups to be
drawn into the cylinder after the en-
CINE is shut down, before it stops run
