Calls Railroad Plan a Soviet

To the Editor Evcnim& &sPubrc Ledger:
Sir-I saw your editorial in last
nights EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER about
the demand for the brotherhoods to
manage the railroads. But l was also
struck by the fact that you failed to
see that the brotherhoods demanded a
"soviet" over the railroads, not neces-
sarily soviet of violence, but, never
theless, a soviet, with all the charac-
teristics of a soviet, being, as far as
have ever been able to fathom that
Russian term, management of the
governed by such of the governors and
outsiders who have the nerve-and
chance-to grab the management and
the most influential of its friends.
Violence is not necessary except when
the outs are trying to deprive the
''ins" of their power and supplant them
and all peaceful means have failed
The name may be new, but neverthc
less the soviet idea is old. SO fal

ably, the brotherhoods have taken theil

discovers Belkuap cheating at cards.
She orders him to leave her house at

seems to exert over her. Convinced
that he is concealing his real identity
and that he is there for some Interior

out the mystery. She has formerly
had an experience as police head
quarters detective and has been
known as Lady Kate of the Police.
She intercepts a telephone call OF
Belknap's to a woman confederate
whom he calls Berta and, in turn,
calls up the woman and discovers her
full name and address. Realizing that
he Is suspected by Katherine, BeIknap
threatens to expose the fact that
Katherine's brother. Rod"rick Max
wilton, who is believed by his par
ents to be dead, faces a term in prison.

arrives to entertain the guests. She
seems unable to speak and writes
her words on a pad of paper. 1t is

Just one application doubles the beau

dissolves every particle of dandruff; you

robs the hair of its luster, its strength
and its very life, and if not overcome it
produces a feverishness and itching Of
the scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen
and die; then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and is
thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too oily,
get a small bottle of Knowlton's Dander-
inc at any drug store or toilet counter
for few cents; apply little as direct
ed and ten minutes after you will say
this was the best investment you ever
made
We sincerely believe, regardless of ev-

and no more falling hair--you must use
