Americus times-recorder., 1919-11-18

present calendar year, and this
means that such action as is to be
taken must become law before that
time. The more favorable method
of treating the situation appears to
be found in a selection of essential
features and the adoption of a bill
relating to them, leaving questions of
rates and general reorganization for
the future. It is probable that this
course will be the one to be pursued,
and that eventually settlement will
be effected which will cover the
broadest issues in the transp ortation
question but which will be worked
out more at leisure. Meantime rail-
road shares have held their own well
in the disturbed market of the week
and many believe that both they and
sound railroad bonds will find de-
cidedly higher level of values. Con-
fidence that Congress will act equit-
ably on the railroad question is
strong.
The withdrawal or the orders un-
der which the coal strike was initial
ed has in many ways been the COM
manding event of an important week.
Morally, the outcome of this strike is
of the first Importance, since it shows
Americus times-recorder., 1919-11-18

as the Esch measure indicates the
probability that the Cummins bill.
heretofore considered the leading
railroad proposal before the country,
may be superseded. Both measures
are long and complex and involve
many highly technical questions.
Either one would give the railroad
investor much better assurance of
protection than he could have with
out them, and they have according
ly been fayorably received by own
ers of securities. Neither measure
would give the investor more than
very moderate amount of return
and effort will undoubtedly be made
to revise which ever of the two
emerges from the legislative discus
sion IN such way as to give the in
vestor better recognition than he
would get under the investment sec
tlons of the legislation as announced.
The difficulty in the problem does not
lie in the question of amending these
measures, but in the fact that Con-
gress must act very hastily if it is to
do anything whatever with respect to
them. Under the present plan the
roads are to be returned to their
owners not later than the end of the
Americus times-recorder., 1919-11-18

that the government both can and
will insist upon the protection of the
people against unfair demands pro-
ceeding from labor as well as those
originating with capital. A period
of negotiation will undoubtedly be
necessary, and this may extend over
a considerable time but must culmi-
nate finally in some more or less
satisfactory settlement. Meanwhile
disaster to general industry and the
iniiction of suffering upon large
masses of population has been avoid
ed and thereby a serious check to
prosperity has been escaped. AL
though congress is still delaying the
ratification of the peace treaty, indi-
cations now are that action cannot be
indefinitely postponed and that the
action taken will soon release busi-
sess from the uncertainty which has
affected it during the discussion of
this document. These factors make
powerful for greater confidence, and
Herewith for favorable values for
shares of known stability. They are
of broader significance and more far
reaching character than the tempor-
ary influences which have for the
time being depressed values.

SHOE CUTTERS GET A HOURS
 IN HAvERHILL

Iaverhill, July 1.-The fve-day week of 44 hours for cutters and 4o hours for the other six crafts in the shoe industry was established here Tuesday when shoe firms that had for the past five weeks been opposed to the plan began signing price lists with the Shoe Workers Protective union.
 The union has price lists and arbi- tration agreements with 65 shoe firms, and 2S firms had granted the new schedule of working hours With no reduction in w->Ees.
 The directors of tlle HaTerhiH Shoe Manufacturers associa ton held a meeting, when they received the re- ply of the Joint Council of the s. w. P U that the various locals had the sole s.<thority to regulate working hours and that the referendum vote Of last Thursday for a five-day week for half of the year and a 12 day week for the other six months was illegal.
 It has been conceded by o1anufac- turers that the five-day week will be generally adopted.
 It is expected that, Beginning this week, the 12C00 men and women en- ployed in the 134 shoe factories here will have the entire day Saturday as a holiday, where for several years past they have enjoyed a 5lalf-holiday on that day. It is expected that the cutters who were called out on strike at the Eilliard & Taylor and the c. K. Fox factories a week ago will re- turn to work tomorrow. as those firms have offered to sign the 44-hour agree ments.
 The members of the s. ". P. T.. have been ordered to remain at work for 4S hours in factories where price lists have not expired, but as this af- ternoon manufacturers were hasten ing to sign up for a five-day week, the belief prevailed that the firms whose price lists have not expired will voluntarily reduce the schedule of hours from AS to A for the cutters and 4s for the other crafts.

WISE PARENTS
 KEEP THEIR BOYS
 OUT OF TROUBLE

There is a feveriSh desire for &C., tion in many boys that frequently i'm pelS them to do things, that seem pure nalicfousnesS. Take the case of the windows in the untenanted house If the building stands long idle, and if secluded enough so that 1t can be safely raided, the windows become .he customary target for the marksman- ship of the neighborhood. Some times you can scarcely find an untouched pane of glass in the building.
 Probably these boys have no desire to inflice suffering on anyone If they could learn that the owner of the property was perhaps a poor man who some day had to deny his fam fly the necessarieS of life in order to reset those windows. they could be made to feel very much ashamed for their acts
 The summer vacation is a time when the boys are on the rampage in gangs Some of their acts occa- sionally reported, like the stoning of railroad trains, seem almost to indi- cate mental defects. But the most of them are accounted for on the basis of excess of animal spirits.
 Frequently acts of such mischief are done by children from good fam flies who have had good training. There are times when the spirit of destruction seizes hold of boy with irresista ble force. The devil himself seems to have entered their hearts. The next moment under good leader ship they might work for hours to do some kind act
 Satan finds mischief for idle hands to do. It is not healthful for older boys to spend their vacation with ut some occupation. They havene CO., operative spirit enough to form their own forms of play. Mischief require: no organization but mob soirf. Chances to exemplify 1t are af1ay present. Wise parents Ind some regr lar occupation that will provide ven for their rest1ess energy.

The State police on Sunday visited d this place, or at least a delegation of them did and purchased gasoline at each place in town where this commo- dity is sold. They found that the mea- sure used at each place was up to the standard with the exception of new filling station or rather sales place at Devon where the measure was con- siderably short. The proprietor of the place was haled into court yesterday morning. He stoutly maintained that he had no idea that he was short in his measure and that he was using the pump put in by the company selling him gasoline, that this pump was set and sealed by them and that he had no means of testing it him. self using it just it had been left when installed. The court on this sus- pended judgment on payment of costs, some seventeen dollars. Judgment was also suspended in the case of James Krol of Bridgeport who was charged at the same session of the court with overloa ding a motor vehicle. krol had to pay the costs of his case which were six dollars and eighty Ave cents.
