! order fail.
The action OF President wilson end
ed all doubt as TO the position which
the Administration is. prepared to
take in dealing with the radical labor
elements. II made the issue clean
cut and positive as applicable to the
whole nation. The members OF the
Brotherhoods now on strike in the
States named have defled definite in
structions to return to work, which
were issued yesterday by their ma
tional leaders.
The decision to operate the lines at
all costs was reached by President
Wilson when scores OF reports were
received today to the effect that large
quantities Of foodstuffs and other per
ishable freight were spelling on STALL
ed cars. and that huge fruit crops in
the Southern California district prob
ably would be total loss il the
strike continued effective for many
more days.
1t was the most drastic action ever
taken by the Federal Railroad Admin
istration in connection with labor
troubles on the railroad and the an
nouncement that the order had ben
issued created excited comment here
tonight.
President Wilson acted through Di-
rector General Hines and Attorney
General Palmer. A statement issued
by Mr. Hines announced that all en-
ployes who had not returned to their
work by o'clock next Saturday
morning will be regarded as. having
terminated their employment and
that their places will be filed and the
lines operated. Any who interfere are
warned that they will be arrested
and prosecuted.

Cyclones and Tornadoes.

The sO-called "cyclones" Of the West
are ''tornadoes," which are whirling
storms of great violence, but contract
ed in area. Tornadoes have been
known whose greatest width did not
exceed few rods, and those which
exceed several miles in width are very
unusual. The ordinary storm, where
the wind attains a velocity of 40 to 60
miles an hour, has nothing in common
with either cyclone or tornado. It
is straight thrush Of air and does not
whirA at all.

Baby Natural mOnoUolls..

There is about the baby none Of the
subtle deceifulness Of the old, prac-
uced bore who deity turns the con.
versation to his own exploits and at
fairs. Baby simply takes Off the muf-
fier from his personal self. The en-.
tire household attention turns at once
to his affairs. He monopolizes the con.
Versation with his breathless account
OF his hunger or or his connection With
the open safety pin-and that is all
there is to 1t.
