W-VROAD HAS
PLAN OF FINANCING
Change Causes Some Delay
in Payment of Coupons on
Certain Bonds.
SHORT-TERM NOTE ISSUE

Delay of few days in the payment
ing the underlying mortgage of the
Washing on Virginia railway system
has been caused by a new plan of
financing by which the interest is to
be paid by the firm of Harvey Fish
& Sons of New York, through the
Girard Trust Company and the Real
Estate Trust Company of Phiiadcl-
phia. The new arrangement was com
pleted more than a week ago, but it
seems that the parts of the revised
plan were not all put in operation in
time to meet the interest payments
falling due on March /.
There are $2,50e,000 per cent bonds
of the Washington, Alexandria and
Mount Vernon Railway Company and
$3.50. 900 5 per cent bonds of the Wash =
ington. Arlington and Falls Church
Railway Company.
Short-Term Notes.
The firm of Harvey Fisk & Sons is
arranging to distribute 100000 6
per cent short-terrn notes, secured by
100000 mortgage bonds of the
W dsniis loH- EiHia railway. the
100000 being part of a bond issue
of $12.500,000 authorized. This plan
was agreed on by the stockholders
and directors of the -Vir-
ginfa Company at a recent meeting.
The merger of the Virginia trolley
lines took place in 1910. Since then
construction work and other charges
for betterments have been paid out
of receipts and by the sale of short
term notes. Within recent months
the company has expended more than
100000 in new equipment and in
building a line from Mount Vernon to
Camp Humphreys at the request of
the War Department. At present the
condition of the securities market is
not considered propitious for the flo
tation of corporation bonds and
short-term notes secured by a part of
the authorized bond issue will be Of
fered.

SENATE ACTION.

Debate on the peace treaty in the
Senate has been largely perfunctory
since the Presidents illness was an
nounced. That there will be some
reservations made by the Senate be-
fore ratifying the treaty Is now gen
orally conceded. The amendments
proposed will scarcely be adopted.
They have not been introduced with
that purpose in view. The weak
points of the treaty have been
pretty well exposed by this time.
That was what the Presidents
opponents wanted. They never
wanted the Senate to refuse to rati-
fly the treaty. The record has now
been made. The treaty will be rati-
fled with reservations to safeguard
our interests, and the matter will be
dropped until the Presidential cam
paign opens next year. Then it will
all be gone over again.

PRAYERS FOR WILSON.


II has been noted that in some
places the Jewish rabbis and tine
Mormon elders asked the people OF
their religions to offer prayers for
the recovery of President Wilson,
who has been quite i'll. We have
also noticed the announcement
publicly that prayers were offered
by others, and have no doubt that
in many places this was done by
Protestants and Catholics, as would
be and is very proper and dutiful
and of course charitable. However,
catholic people are admonished by
fhe Church authorities to pray at all
times for their rulers. During the
holy mass the priest at the altar in
cludes tire country's ruler or rulers
in prayers that are offered up for
many aims and in behalf OF indi-
viduals, such as for the Pope and
the Bishops of the diocese, etc. We
Catholics, and no doubt other people,
have been praying for the President
therefore ever since he was chosen
TO be the executive Of this great
and Important country. All during
the war particularly, and since its
close again particularly. we have
besieged heaven with applications.
10 the end that he might be
strengthened and enlightened and
guided and taken care of in the
performance of his official duties.
And on the whole our prayers have
been answered, for the President
has been sustained in health
throughout the long and severe
ordeal, mental and physical, which
he had to undergo. Now for the
moment he seems to be unwell and
unable to perform the work of his
office. He is ordered to rest. and
certainly, humanity speaking. it is
not surprising that he is found to
he In sore need OF rest and relaxa-
ton. Yes, we know there are people
who do not "like" Mt. Wilson, and
who do not agree with him nor
approve Of all he has done and wish
ed to do. But he is our President.

INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE.

1t is becoming more evident every
day that the industrial conference
which was called by the President
to discuss labor conditions in this
country is going to end without
accomplishing anything. We did not
expect it to solve all the problems
of labor that are now pressing for
solution. But we believe that the
country had a right to expect the
conference to try to settle the
matters that were put UP to 1t. The
great steel strike has been going on
now for four weeks and apparently
there is little hope of settlement.
The industrial conference was asked
to take up this strike and try to end
it. When the question of arbitra-
ton was brought up the conference
refused to suggest it. Even the
matter of collective bargaining was
discussed at length without result.
All this seems to show, as the
True Voice says, that the members
chosen for the conference have
learned little during the past few
years. Some of them seem to be
living in the epoch chat has passed
when such men as Baer and Carne-
gle dominated labor as little czars.
We have advanced far beyond that
today. The principle of collective
bargaining is recognized as sound by
all thinkers and it is accepted by the
great majority of employers. But
here is a national conference wasting
it's time discussing this question as If
it were a new and unheaPd of thing.
Surely this is not very promising.
We had thought THAT the men
chosen for this meeting would be at
least up with the times.
The speech OF Samuel Gompers
before the conference was warning
that it needed to rouse it to the
serious industrial situation that con-
fronts the country. There are the
alternatives of reasonable settlement
of labor disputes, or else radicalism
in labor circles and bolshevism
throughout the country. Unless the
present leaders of labor can show
results they will be displaced by
radicals and the present methods
of negotiation will be superseded by
Violence and. revolution. The in
dustrial conference seems TO be I'M
aware of the seriousness of. the
situation. In order that the con-
ference may take any action the
three groups that compose it, rep
resenting labor, capital and the
public, must agree. Agreement
seems to be out of the question.
The conference has brought out
nothing new in its discussions thus
far, and it is altogether unlikely now
that it will reach any practical con-
illusions.

HALLow EVE ooLoANNoN.

There's many a thing I'm missing
since / sailed from County Cork,
And many a thing I'm wanting mid
the plenty of New York;
miss old friends and customs, and
/ miss with many an ache
The Hallow Eve colcannon that my
mother used to make.
I'm boarding in restaurant, a
stylisch one at that,
A Frenchman takes my order and a
darkey takes my hat;
And faith, the dime or nickel that
gets by that nimble pair
Is fit to win sweepstakes on the
Curragh of Kildare.
I've wrestled with kortuffulen. I've
tackled pomme de terre
Till feel my Irish rising when / see
a bill of fare;
I've left my malediction on Bohe-
milan, Greek or Jew,
Whose cooking shames the memory
of the decent spud l knew.
IT'S well | mind the mornings when
I'd take my spade and go
To the field beside the boreen where
the big ones used to grow
How I'd whistle to the robins, ,or
I'd mock the plover's cry.
Getting many a rainy polthogue
from the big clouds sailing. by.
You may talk of shining nuggets

But laughing Irish Murphy is as

For were you cold or hungry your

Did you ever eat colcannon when
twas made with thickened
cream,
And the. greens and scallions blended
like the pictures in dream?
Did you ever scoop a hole on top to
hold melting cake
OF the flower Favored butter that
your mother used to make?
Did you ever eat and eat afraid
you'd let the ring go past,
And some old married sprissaun
bounced on 1t at the last?
Then did you go blindfolded round
the five plates in row
And find Rosary beads three times,
as did long ago?

YOUR CIVIC DUTY.

Sunday is a good day for quiet
things-for candid introspection.
Therefore let us devote rev
minutes of it here in Louisville and
Kentucky to contemplation OF
subject closely related to our civic
duty. A Statewide campaign is now
in progress looking to the choice Oh
officials to serve the people after
December next. In the course of
this canvass men will be importuned
to support candidates for these
various trusts, not by the test OF
their ABILITY, experience and past
records, but by exclusive reference
to some ordinary service they may
have rendered the individual. All
you need to know, and all you seek
to know, is this: Is the candidate
experienced, trustworthy, competent
and honest? Let us particularize
little more sharply:
Throughout his extended record
as a successful lawyer and business
man and particularly during the
past four years as Lieutenant Gov
ernor and Governor. James d. Black,
Democratic candidate for that nlgh
office, has familiarized himself In
the best possible way-as indeed II
was necessary for him to do-witn
every detail of our State administra-
tion.> from A to z. No man VINO
ever ran for Governor of Kentucky
was better equipped for the office
than he is. His Republican oppo-
nent, on the contrary, is utterly in
experienced in State and civic
affairs. If you apply to these two
men the tests you apply in your
slaeexions for all other Kinds OF
service, how will you vote, how must
Won vote? Governor Black has served
the State, of which you are con-
stituent citizen, faithfully, fearlessly,
wisely and well. If 4ou had
Democratic legal adviser in your
private concerns and he had render
ed you loyal and devoted service
and if you were asked to supplant
him with another, simply because
that other was a Republican and for
no other reason, what would you
saw? There is not the faintest
shadow of doubt that your answer
would be an indignant, emphatic re-
fusal? So it should be in the case
of Gov. Black and the entire Demo-
cratic ticket. In the exercise of the
suffrage on November A, vote for
the demonstrably best man. The
man who votes regardless of con-
siderations of experience and attest
ed fitness, votes in the dark and
ttndbles with the States welfare
and also that Of the city and county.
After proper reflection and with the
peoples best interest before them
the voters should elect the entire
Democratic ticket, which means con-
tinued progress. for Louisville and
Kentucky,
Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1919-10-25

our ruler by vote OF ourselves.
Wherefore we have to wish him well
in an especial manner and to pray
for him. Why, we are counselled
to '1ove our enemies" and pray for
those who do us wrong. We are
Christians, you know, at least we
say we are. None of us is canon
lied; therefore holy Mary. Mother
of God, pray for us sinners now and
at the hour of our death. Amen. /"
