RAILROAD WORK TO PROCEED

Director General Hines repeats the assurance given
just at the close of congress that so far as possible all the
railroad work contemplated will be pushed, and thai
steps are being taken to provide funds for that purpose
While the statement contains nothing specially new, II
is reassuring to have it repeated. Congress, by permitting
the session to expire without completing essential legis-
letion, left the railroad situation in a deplorable muddle
OF the $3.50, 000, 900 which it had been expected to pro
vide for the use of the railroads not a dollar is available,
and whatever improvement work is undertaken must be
financed out of the funds already on hand, and which
were really needed for current purposes. and out of new
funds borrowed. However, the existing funds will be
row. considerable sums on short-time certificates in order
that the work may be carried on until congress again
has an opportunity to act.
The prosecution of this work is important from,
every. conceivable standpoint. The railroad corporations
are interested in the maintenance OF their properties in
a suitable state of repair, and in the making of those
relatively minor improvements which are rendered nee
essary by the development of the business of the country.
The prosecution of the work is necessary in order that
labor may be properly employed. And the entire popu-
lation is interested in the maintenance of the railroads
at their highest point of efficiency, and in the con-
tinuous employment of labor on constructive work.

SPEAKING OF WEATHER

The weather is endlessly the subject of conversation.
Age can not stale nor custom wither its infinite variety,
and in addition to being an ever present subject of con-
vcrsation the habit of talking about the weather has al
ways furnished speakers and especially writer's with a
subject upon which to exercise themselves when perhaps
the stream had otherwise run dry. If we are to believe
some of the things that we read we must conclude that
it is very bad form to talk about the weather because
very. many of our popular writer's refer to this habit as
one indicating a shallowness Of intellect and lack of
Imagination, a dearth of culture. and an utter ignorance
Of the ways in which things are done quite inappropriate
to those who move in. our best circles.
and yet, what is the matter with the weather and
why should we not talk about it? 1t is the one thing
that is ever present. 1t obtrudes itself upon ones atten-
ton when everything else is obscure, and regardless OF
the popular writer's, reference to the state of the weather
is the most natural thing in the world when two human
beings meet. If no other topic of conversation can be
found and the weather continues to be discussed in all
its angles, dips, spurs, and ramifications, we may let the
popular writer's have their way and cast the speakers
into outer darkness, but treated sanely and discreetly a
little. conversation about the weather serves an excellent
purpose. ..
A remark about the weather amounts to a greeting.
and some sort Of greeting is usually desired. 1t forms
a means, of beginning discreetly a conversation with a
stranger. 1t is a sign of friendship, but not of obtusive-
mess. if we mention the fact that the day is fine, for per-
haps the same reason that a dog wags his tail when he
meets q stranger of his species. There is a desire to dis
play friendliness but it is not permitted to go to the point
OF danger. Then if the overture is well received the
conversation can proceed in other directions and the
and down the other we desire to come to the defense of
the weather as a topic of conversation and to express
our entire disagreement from those who sheer at the
habit.

ABANDONING SOVEREIGNTY

A familiar objection to the league of nations is that
it involves abandonment of the sovereignty of its mem
bers. Perhaps that statement is a little too broad. The
objection most frequently heard is that there will be an
abandonment of its sovereignty by the United States. 1t
seems to be the opinion of these particular critics that in
some mysterious way the other nations are gobbling up
the sovereignty of the United States without relinquishins
anything of their own. -
If the agreement to do a thing, and the fulfilment of
that agreement constitutes REIMBURSEMENT of sovereign.
ty, then the United States will give up its sovereignty
when it becomes a member of the league Of nations. So
will every other nation. For there is no question that
either according to the present plan, or according to any
other than can. be devised, there can be no league with.
out the making of agreements and the assumption of OBJ
legations.
But really, this matter is not as grave as it seems
for this nation and every other has been casting Its SOW
ereignty to the winds in JUST this way everysince its Elk
istence began. for every nation has been continually max
ing agreemen with other nations. and carrying them
out. Even Germany has carried out some of its agree.
ments.
We make a treaty with another nation. Each nation
agrees to do certain things. Before the treaty is made
each nation. under it's Independent sovereignty, was al

THE PRICE OF COAL

The governor of Pennsylvania has instructed the
attorney general of the state to inquire into the price
OF coal and learn why the price is to be advanced at a
time Of the year when a reduction is usually expected
Some Of the eastern papers commenting on the subject
seem to be of the opinion that when the Investigation is
made a very simple explanation will be found in the fact
thai the cost of producing coal is increasing.
The cost Of labor is the largest element in the cost
Rsofsraining coal and that cost has increased, and is con-
st5ntly increasing. On top of wage advances already
made, the eastern miners are now demanding, a six hour
day and a five-day week, and if this should be granted
tho cost Of production will be still further enhanced.
All the other elements of cost are also much higher than
they were. and the prospect for any reduction from the
coal prices already authorized by the government seem
pretty slim.
The cost of coal to the northern consumer. however.
II not chiefly the cost Of mining. It is more largely the
cost of transportation. Before the war it was frequently
said that it cost less to mine. handle and delive. a ton

STRIKE CUTS
OFF CHICAGO
MILK SUPPLY
City Has Famine as 5000
Drivers Quit to Force
Wage Boost.

Chicago, May 14.-Three thou
sand milk wagon drivers today
went on strike in Chicago, virtually
tying up the city's milk supply.
Representatives of the drivers, who
asking wage increase from $26 a
week and commissions, to $35 and
commissions, said that emergency
deliveries would be made to hospi-
tails and baby asylums. No violence
was reported.
While the strike had been threat
ened for several days, the first
definite information received by the
public was in the form of empty
bottles at back doors today.
The distributors said that they
were willing to increase wages but
that any increase would necessitate
a / " cent per quart raise in the
retail price of milk. They offered
to compromise by proposing a $3.50
per week increase, which was re-
jected.
Later. the distributors, all mem
bers of the Illinois Milk Dealers
association, prepared kilograms to
the milk producing associations Or
dering the supply stopped for the
next few days.
Ready for Finish Fight.
Officials of the union said the men
were financially prepared for d
finish battle" and that the en-
ployers would suffer great loss un-
less speedy settlement was
reached.
The employers, after canceling
the supply, said that the loss
would not fall upon them but upon
the farmer.
After the strike was started at a
few companies, other companies, in
line with an agreement, locked out
the drivers before they were called
to strike, employers representa-
tiYeS announced.
Lines of consumers, with jugs,
cans and pitchers were formed
about some of the centrally located
stations.
