WILL RESUME WORK

The striking shopmen of the WASH
nigton Southern and Southern Rail
ways have determined to resume
work tomorrow afternoon, and they
will continue to work until their
overtures have been considered by
the government. They have, very
properly, complied with the instruc-
tons given them by t,,.c.r national
officers, and by so doing have shown
the respect due by them to the
President Of the United States, who,
with the many burdens placed upon
him during the past few years, IS
expected to bring satisfactory condi-
tons out of vexacious industrial
problem.
It is gratifying to know that
workingmen in Alexandria and vi
cinity are rot disposed to treat the
powers that be with contem7:, but
arc ready to abide by the decisions
of their leaders and to. show proper
regard for government officials.
The world is rcstive and has been
for .scmc time. The great mass OF
the ,human race work under the di-
rccticns of their fellow men. Nature
has so ordained and common sense
should teach. all that this is fiat of
the Creator. To resist employers,
especially when the later are en-
deavoring to bring about more sat
isfying conditions, is resisting the
Creator. Man should stop and think.
At the building of the tower of
Babel we are told that "the whole

THE CURE IS WORK

Unfair distribution of wealth IS
cause of legitimate discomfort. Some
men cheat; some steal: some profit
ler. Tedious is the task Of ending
wrongs; it may never be fully ac-
ccmplished. Yet production must
continue, if just and unjust men
alike are not to range with the pigs
Fer acorns.

World, "there is no political remedy

'o. the best. But whatever other
me assures are decided, one fact is
'nescapable. Unless there is produc

Until Next Term

The Susan B. Anthony suffrage
amendment to the federal. constitu-
ton will not be brought to a vote
at the present session of the Geor-
gia Legislature, according to intor-
nation given out Thursday morning
by members of the house and senate
who are in favor of equal suffrage
and who are cooperating with the
woman suffrage leaders in their cam
paign.
The amendment can be acted on by
the Georgia legislature next year
just as we'll as this year, inasmuch
as the time limit for action will not
have expired before that time.
In the meantime some twenty or
more states will have acted on the
amendment and it is believed that
the sentiment in favor Of it will
have grown substantially. Thus the
amendment will come before the
Georgia legislature under more fav-
orable auspices one year hence than
it would at the present session.

Three Separate Bills
For Prohi Enforcement

WASHINGTON. June 26. The
house judiciary committee voted to-
day to split prohibition legislation
into three parts with enforcement
of wartime prohibition separate
and distinct from the others, which
relate to constitutional prohibition
and the manufacture of industrial
alcohol.
The action of the committee was
taken on a motion of Representative
Walsh. Refusal to report the two
enforcement programs in two bills
will make it necessary to pass both
before one can go into effect.
Vets claim the action means a
more liberal enforcement, but drys
say prohibition can be accomplished
just as we'll under the wartime pro-
hibition enforcement provisions.
The wording of the wartime act
prohibits only the manufacture and
SALE Of Intoxicating liquor, while
the bill previously agreed upon, af-
-fecting both constitutional and war
time acts, prohibited giving it away
or having any supply in any other
place than private dwelling, except
for legal purposes.
Both enforcement codes define in
toxicating liquor as any beverage
containing onehalf of per cent OF

Child Caught in Switch
Saved as Train Passes

Just a few seconds before the fast
express train Numbered by Miss Olga
Cline, of Litchfield, Ill, rescued a
small girl whose foot had become
hung in the track frog. Miss Cline
was on her way to work when she
heard a faint cry, and on investiga-
ton found that the child had been
pinioned there for some time. and
could not release herself. The train
was approaching and Miss Cline
worked desperately to unfasten the
foot, and finally, by unlacing the
shoe and jerking the child away,
saved the little girl just as the train
passed
