Decision Is Final, Declares Mr.. Hines.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Director
General Hines today requested the
board of railway wages and working
conditions to take up promptly any
claims that have been made or may be
made by railroad employees for read
justments.
Mr.. Hines, according to letter sent
to the locals, told the committee thai
the proposition as presented by the
president, was final and that there
would be no wage increases granted
to any other class of railroad employ
ees as a class, but in the event of un-
just inequalities, as between indivi-
duals, adjustments involving increases
to equalize rates of pay would BE-
made where justified.
The committee thereupon informed
the locals that the director-genera
had been advised that his proposition
could not be accepted as basis of set
tlement by them and continued:
Practically every class of railroad
employees have now submitted re
quests for very substantial increases
over existing rates of pay. 1t is we'll
that our members give very serious
consideration to this fact If there is to
be any additional general increase in
the wages of railroad employees, the
federated shop trades will receive the
same consideration. Don't fail to give
this statement careful thought, anu
don't forget that if the federated shop
trades become involved in strike
now, you are striking alone to force
an increase for the 100000 railroad
employees.
i "In view of the foregoing facts, the
statements contained in the presi-
dents letters and the responsibility
that must be assumed, if suspension
of work is to take place, your execu-
tive council has decided that it would
fail in its duty were it to authorize
strike until the membership have had
an opportunity to decide their course
of action on this proposition. 1t is not
our intention to shirk any of our re
sponsibilities as executive officers and
the wishes of constitutional major
ity of the membership, exprest by
eiiSAi FOtSo do IcISiH dlteE uifttttus
win be carried out"
The letter then gives instructions
for an immediate summoning of the
members of the various locals to take
a secret vote. 1t was pointed out that
owing to the large number involved.
it must be understood that the respec-
tive international organizations would
not be obliged to pay regular strike
benefits beyond the limit of funds
available for that purpose.

BIG GARDEN DRIVE

Plant more vegetables to make up

due to the cold wave is the call sent

den Commission. with probable
losses in fruit for canning the vic
tory gardeners must look ahead right
now says Charles Lathrop Pock,
president Of the comission, Ito next
winter and plant more vegetables, so
that the supply for canning may be
increased.
THE victory garden drive opens in

reports to the commission show more
acreage is being cultivated by COM
munities and business concerns for
employees than ever before. The last
rttack Of Jack Frost before sUrren-
dering for the year comes just in time
for the gardeners to increase planting
areas and thus make up for any losses
caused by fruit buds being nipped in
the cold wave. The cold wave should
be a blessing, for it will show the
gardeners the Importance OF increas-
ing the crop for daily use and for the
pantry shelves against next winters

JEWS HEAR GOODWIN
OND. c. HOME RULE

Home Rule for Washington" was
discussed by Earl Goodwin, editorial
writer for The Times, at a meeting
in the Eighth Street Temple, under
the auspices Of the Jewish welfare
Board, yesterday.
"The people Of Washington are the
prey OF politicians from all over the
country" said Mr.. Goodwin. AL
though denied the constitutional
right to vote, belonging. to every
American citizen, Washington has in
many ways proven her patriotism.
The National Capital sent $4,000
soldiers, sailors and marines, 5000 or
whom were volunteers to, the forces
which helped to defeat Germany.
Washington has gone over the top
in all Liberty Loan drives, and prom
ises to do the same in the Victory
Loan campaign. Washington's aver
age in the sale of war savings stamps
is SIS a person, although the aver
age for the entire country Is but 80
a person.
"An these things tend to show con-
clusiVely that the people OF Wash
ington deserve the vote. 1t is up to
washingtonians to agitate for home
rule in washington, and to use every
influence to bring this matter before
public attention
Mr.. Goodwin discussed in detail the
amount Of unnecessary motion need
ed to pass legislation for Washing
ton under present conditions.
"The same machinery OF govern
ment is necessary to hire an extra
policemen for the city OF Washing
ION as to declare war. To hire an
additional policeman the House must
pass a bill. then the Senate, after
which the Speaker of the House and
the Vice President of the United
States must affix their signatures
and the measure hnally signed oy
the President.
''In no city OF the civilized world
o; the size Of Washington are such
petty measures put up to the ma
tional legislature, and in no city
are the citizens denied the right OF
he ndlinE their own affairs.
Home rule for washington" is
the best way to remedy these con
d'tions.

SAYS YANKS DON'T
RESENT PROHIBITION

According to Congressman Addison
T. Smith OF Idaho. who has just re-
turned from France, along with sew
eral other members Of the House,
American soldiers who have been
abroad are not resentfuI over dry leg
islation.
Mr.. Smith says he talked with
large numbers Of soldiers in France
and on transport, and less than a
GoLen expressed any resentment be-
cause of prohibition legislation.
Certain interests are seeking to
excite antagonism 20 national prohibi-
tion on the part OF our returning SOL
6iers. but they are making little
headway," said Mr.. Smith.
He declared there was less intem-
perance and less immortality among
American soldiers than in the army
Of any of the allied countries. and that
even soldiers who are in the habit Of
drinking are ready to accede TO pro-
hibition legislation on the ground
that il represents the will Of the ma
jority.

Ofttimes our physical or
mental being undergoes a
serious shaking up which
may approach a catastrophe,
and which we may not be
able to comprehend.
But, as we recover from
the upset" we begin to see
the reason and the useful
ness of the awakening.
The World War was nee
essary to bring to our at
tention the fact that God
intended ALL men, women
and children of the earth to
enjoy health, LIBERTY and
happiness.
It was necessary to drench
the world with blood for the
conception Of q League of
Nations that would give the
weaker peoples a sense of
security from invasion and
injustice which has been
the order since civilization
began.
Yes, we need a severe
shaking up now and then.
Just now the Victory Lib
