MAY URGE BULLETS

Washington, Aug, 6.-Organized la

railroads to the pubic operating Of
ficials and labor--was presented to
Congress today by men high in the
council of the organization, who de-
clared with utmost frankness condi-

necessary to advocate a firing squad

GRAFTON of Labor that the bill EN-
bodying what has come to be known
as the Plumb plan, was too radical
and tailed to strike at the high price
evil against which people throughout
the country are clamoring.
For more than month the House
committee has been considering all
plans for solution Of the problems
confronting the roads with their re-
turn to private management. and the
Plumb proposal was offered with the
assurance of labor leaders that it
would cut down prices OF commodities
because the reduction in rates which
would follow the elimination Of pri-

The two union officials for five
hours stood up in defense of the bill
and answered a whirlwind fire of
questions from men who must report
it out or throw 1t away. During the
long discussion, attended by an at
tentiye audience, including many VIC
men. the labor leaders made strong
denial OF reports that they were at
tempting to intimidate Congress by
threats to strike or chop off the poll
tical heads of members voting con
trary to their desires.

since it has been in effect, reports
have come from all parts of the
country Of steady increase in the
number of migratory game birds.
The migratory bird law of 1913 has
been superseded by the migratory
bird treaty act, putting into force the
treaty with Great Britain for the pro
lection of birds migrating between
the United States and Canada. Regu
lations promulgated under this law
give more strict protection to birds
on their northward flight than they
have ever previously enjoyed. Prior
to the passage of these laws the game
supply had steadily decreased owing
to the increasing number of hunters
and the crowding out of the birds
from their breeding grounds which
has been cleared for agricultural and
other purposes. The remedy, federal
officials believe, is the best possible
observance and enforcement of the
existing game laws, an increase in
the number OF game refugees, and a
great extension Of game farming

The Fable of the Youth Who Was
There
BY Lemon AIDE
with apologies to George)


Once upon Time, there was a Guy
who thought he was Some Cheese
when 1t came to Handing the Light
Patter over the Tungstens to an
Audience and their Escorts. In his
High School days, he was reckoned
as a Conner. a Sovereign Of the Stage,
and Beaucoup more similar Cuff.
The local News Dispenser wrote a
column under a scare-head about his
Splendid Voice and his Pleasing
Manners when he was the hero of a
one-act Farce, and announced the
Startling Fact that he would be the
country's Leading Actor before the
Flax had begun to show on his Name.
For many days after this Announce
ment, this Guy had to go around
Bare-headed, because they didn't keep
Number Ten Hats in his Home Burg.
He was Conscious of the Fact he was
a budding Mantell and he carried a
copy of the Local Paper in his Poe
ket to prove to anyone who was not
Acquainted with his Glass.
The Place suddenly became too
small for him and one day the Crowd
went down to the Branch Line Sta
ton to watch him leave for the
Bright Lights. In behalf of the local
Denizens, the Sheriff presented him
with a Farewell Gift which Consist
ed of a Classy Stick-pin that weighed
Two Pounds. The Assembled Null
titude gathered round to give the Flu
ture Celebrity a Rousing Cheer. AT

from place on the West End of a
Pull man bound East, Our Hero was
able to COMFORT himself with some
Show of Dignity until he was Rudely
ordered inside by the Brakeman.
When he finally struck the Big
Diggins, he HE'D himself to the Thea
tire with the Brightest Lights and an
nounced that he was ready to draw
his Princely Salary. He had all the
Hot Dope on acting and was Prepar-
ed to give the Manager a few Point

was broken to him that he could

Our hero wore out his Cordavons
trying to find a Manager who wanted
Man to help him Uplift the Art
The Best he got was Chance to say
Yes, sir nine times and look

AT last he got Wise to himself and
decided that the First Rung on the

AWOL. so he Crept back to the old

PLEA TO SPARE GAME BIRDS
Sportsmen Warned OF New Federal
Law Protecting Migratory Fowl.

Sportsmen Warned OF New Federal
Law Protecting Migratory Fowl.
Birds which have survived the fall
hunting season and have successfully
withstood the winter months should
be allowed to pass in peace to their
breeding grounds in the spring, say
officials of the biological survey, de
partment of agriculture, in state
ment just issued urging hunters to
: observe and enforce existing game
laws. One of the most important and
necessary steps in the conservation
of wild game is the prohibition of
spring shooting of wild fowl Sports
men should refrain from hunting at
this season not only from sense
of fairness, but because such action
is absolutely necessary to the con-
tinued existence of wild fowl. The
spring flight birds are the stock from
which must be derived the annual
crop harvested in the full cunning
season. as we'll as surplus to fur
nish the next years breeders
y A great victory for game conserva-
ton was won with, the passage OF the
first federal law for the protection of
migratory birds. Instead of separate
statutes for each state, often conflict
ing in purpose and devised without
special thought of the perpetuation
of the game supply, the country now
has law applicable in the same
form over large areas and has as one
of its main purposes the stopping of
the very destructive practice of spring
shooting. The benefits resulting from
this law are unquestionable, for ever
