strike Immediately or await further
governmental action.
Why Decision Was Delayed.
Wage demands were submitted by
the 100000 shopmen last February,
but other pressing matters before the
board of wages and working conn.
tions, affecting employees who had not
previously, received consideration, de-
iayed q decision until July 16, and
then the board divided, three holding
that the increases should not be
granted and three holding that addi-
tional pay was justified.
The amount asked was 25 per cent.
Conferences between the shopmen's
offices and the director general were
but even before they could
be held, men began to go on strike.
which led the president TO devote a
considerable portion Of his letter to
condemning their hasty action which
violated all agreements.
No Funds For More Pay.
In the face of a growing deficit,
Mr.. Hines had no funds to pay more
wages. The senate had passed the
bill restoring the right of the inter-
state commerce commission to review
rates initiated by the director general
and, as it was receiving favorable con-
sideration in the house, he suggested
to the president that congress should
create a commission to order any
wage and rate increases. The sug-
gestion was transmitted to the two
insterstate commerce committees,
which. it was thought, transferred
the wage problem to the floor OF con-
gress until Senator Cummins, reply
today gave it back to the chief execu-
tive.
There was no indication tonight as
to how Mr.. Hines would proceed to
the settlement of the wage demands.
In view Of the wage boards previous
of the question, 1t was
believed that new tribunal would
be constituted for the purpose, with
equal representation for labor, the
railroads and the public.

Didn't Mean To Do Ii.

AsI have stated in previous articles
I think, fuel in France is very scarce
The French keep warm on bits OF 1uel
that we ordinarily throw away. one
of NV first impressions Of France on
that cold, drizzly afternoon last Sep
tember when landed at Brest was the
sight of many small boys and girls ou'
in their row boats, some as far as hail
mile from the docks, gathering up
drift wood and broken boxes at one
time receptacles for our corn ana peel
nrunes and other foodstuffs.
Around the seaport towns especiaiis
wood and other fuel is very scarce
Even the smallest twigs are preser'eo
and made into. charcoal and burned

moving coal.
I recall an old French woman VINO
came around to our shops one morn
ing. We had just received seVera'
large boxes of various parts for auto
mobiles and were engaged in removing
the parts from the boxes to a ware
house. One box had been emptied ano
was laid aside until the noon hour
when we intended to carry 1t down 70
our barracks for the purpose Of kindl'
ing fires.
The old French woman looking al
the discarded box, said something to
us in French. Having only been in the
country short time, no one IN th'
party had the slightest idea what she
was talking about.
The sergeant in charge of the WORK
Of removing the parts, thinking ne
wouId saw something in reply, said:
"Oui, oui," which means "yes, yes.
Very promptly the old woman pick
ed up the box which had been lalo
side for our kindling wood and walk
ed away with it.
| She had politely asked for the ooX
we learned later, and the sergeants
reply of "oui, oui" had given her the
desired permission to carry 1t away
with her.
We had many little experiences hk'
that before we learned to take care Of
our own.
