AN IMPERATIVE NECESSITY

AS The Commonwealth is hav-
ing large run of advertising
and changes are made daily in
some of the ads it has become
necessary to ask that all changes
be sent in the day before the in
sertion is needed. We ask this as
a favor, but we also reserve the
right to leave ads over until the
next day if they cannot be gotten
up in time fer insertion.

WHAT DID GOMPERS MEAN +?

Just before President Gompers
led the boiling Labor Group ont
of the National Industrial Confer
ence he made a statement which
may be Of grave portent. 1t was
addressed to the Employers
Group and was as follows: "You
have defeated that Labor Group
in it's declaration but we VIII meet
you again in conference and when
we do meet you there you will be
glad to talk collective bargain
ing
Is it possible that this state
nlent of Mr.. Gompers was meant
as a thinly yelled threat Of
strikes, sympathetic and other
wise, throughout the whole ma
ton, involving not only the coal
and iron miners but also the en-
ployes Of the railroads and other
vital industries? Did he mean that
he proposed to call general
strike of the millions of workers
identified with labor unions
throughout the country, and thus
force not only the head of the
steel corporation but also all other
big employers of labor to their
knees in an earnest plea for peace
at any price?

A Lost Companion.
BY Bertop Bells

All seems lost in the mountains
The summer has passed away,
The flowers and trees are barren,
The breezes are cold today.
The rocks are bare and rugged,
The peaks are covered with snow
The air is cold and misty,
In the valley down below.
AS l stand over a grave that's silent
Underneath wooden cross,
NV head is bowed and uncovered,
For | feel this miserable loss.
Yes, all seems bleak in the canyon,
While l am still alone,
AS the coyotes howl up in the noun
tains,
The echoes reach my home.
Even my dog seems 10 miss ner,
His heart feels the lonesome thorn
jle all the world seems lonely,
. As we two grieve this morn.
All nature seems against us,
AS we stand here today,
Some day We'll all be together,
In our home of yellow clay.
And there we will rest for ages,
Thru the silent sands of all time.
Our tomb will be the mountain,
And the evergreen towering pine

Violation Of Agreement Claimed
by Great Britain.

PARIS, November 1.-THE status Of
the Imperator and other German ships
aggregating 10000 tons, now in the
possession of the United States, was
discussed by the supreme council to-
day, but no action was taken. Great
Britain has claimed that the action of
the United States Shipping Board in
retaining the vessels violates the
agreement in the council that they
should be turned over to the British
as soon as they had finished trans
porting American troops. The British
representatives today explained that
England was crowded with men from
the colonies eager to return to their
homes in various parts of the world.
but whose return was being delayed
because the United States was retain
ing possession of the German ships in
New York harbor.
The council decided that the oil tank
steamers Germany now is surrender

intrusted to the guardianship of Great
Britain.

BROTHERHOOD CHIEFS
CONSIDER HINES OFFER
Overtime Payment on Slow Freight
Service May Be Difficult
of Adjustment.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, November IL
Heads of the four railroad brother
hoods met here today to consider
Director General Hines offer of over
time payment on slow freight service.
They hope to be able to give an an
swer within a week. Those attending
the conference included w. G. Lee of
the trainmen, Timothy Shea of the
firemen and enginemen. Warren 5.
Stone of the engineers and l.. f.
Shepard of the conductors.
Director General Hines has offered
overtime payment in an unusual way,
and the offer requires consideration
for that reason. Mr.. Lee said. Rail
readers receive a days pay for each
100 miles they make within eight
hours. Most of them complete their
runs in that time. while those COM
pleting their runs in less time receive
full eight hours pay.
When more than eight hours is
consumed railroaders have only been
paid at the regular rate for eight
hours and Mr.. Hines view is that this
should be adjusted in fairness to slow
freight men, Mr.. Lee declared.
