cause of the agreement between the
United States and Canadian railroad
administrations to accord similar treat
ment to the men. Similar action has
been taken on all wage demands in
the past. The administrations and the
men stand together on both sides of the
boundary.
While the vote will be taken only by
the railway shop craft men employed
on railroads. numbering about 100000
in this country and Canada, the effect
of their action will be felt by 1000, 900
railroad employees.
]. A. Forester. grand president of
the Brotherhood Of Railway and Steam
ship Employees, Exprcssmen and Station
Employees, an organization OF $1,000
men, went to the railroad administration
Yesterday afternoon to learn officially
that the Presidents decision on the
shopmen's s demands meant also that the
wage increases sought by other classes
of workers would not be granted.
A conference of heads of this brother
hood was called by him to consider a
statement to be presented to the mem
bcrship.
Asked If a strike vote had been sub
Y iited to the men. officials of this
Brotherhood smiled and replied:
mot vet
In announcing that call for strike
vote had been issued to the shopmen,
officials of that organization explained
that it would require four days for the
notices TO reach some of the 5000 locals,
especially those on the Pacific coast
and that at least FIVE days would have
TO e'anSc before the first OF the votes
could BE RECEIVED in Washington.
, Two thirds Needed for Strike
Secretary Scott declared that there
were slightly more than 100000 or
sanized shop craft workers in the
United States and close to 100000 in
Canada, and that two thirds vote for
a strike was required before one could
be ordered.
He explained the bylaws Of the or =
ganization did not provide that thirty
days notices of a strike should be given
as had been understood. but simply that
the shOpmcn had entered into an agree :
ment with the United States railroad
administration to give thirty days no

had been given in anticipation of a

/ Dear Sir:
/ While reports ON the Third Red
! Cross Roll Gail are not complete
enough to make possible a statement
for publication. We feel we owe it to
the newspapers to let them all that
we know regarding the outcome CT
/ the campaign
At present, this is very little. We
know that the southern division has
not as yet reached its full quota, but
We know that already more members
have been enrolled that We're enroll
ed last year and We believe whe1
all chapters are heard from the quota
viii be very nearly reached. We arr,
informed, toe. from Washington tina;
] the southern division compares favor
ably with any in the country. Under
/ the circumstances. we feel that The
result has been splendid.
| We are deeply sensible of the
fact that this would never have been
possible had it not been for the sup
pert given the Third Roll Call BY
southern newspapers, yours among
them. and while am writing you,
! want to take the occasion to express
| the utmost appreciation of the Red
| Cross fer your help
In this campaign, as in others, we
have had our troubles We have
found lukewarm support in some
places and none at all in others.
We have had much to contend with
because so many people do not seem
to realize just what value the Req
Cross Is to the community. and the.
country. 1t has been a notable fact
in the Third Roll Call. however that
the newspapers. as class, have
shown more genuine understanding
of the veritable necessity of the Red
| Cross to the nation and to the com
munity of its universal benefit in
the past and of the merit of its pro
gram for the future, than has any
other ground in the nation. Their
realization of the real Red Cross re-
suited in such whole hearted support
editorially in their news, columns
that no other agency contributed
to the success CT the campaiggn And
| am proud to say anyone who had a
birds eye view of the campaign
and the nation over unjust have
felt as we did in this office, that no
| newspapers in the country had a
clearer understanding of the Red
Cross, or were more generous in sup
porting it than the newspapers of
the South.
Your paper is one of the southern
newspapers OF which I speak. | can

much good land and much poor, the
average is twice what Ohio Coun-
tvs is. Daviess hasn't as much
hill land as Ohio but what it has is
just as poor. Taking it all in all
there is no reason for the mother
earth in Daviess County being
worth twice or three times as much
as in Ohio County unless we read
the answer in IMPROVEMENTS.
Daviess County farmers have well
improved farms; they have beauti-
full homes and conveniences of the
city right at their doors. Homeseek-
ers are going to pay more for land
that is easily accessible to the mar
kets than for land that is fenced off
by a barrier of impossible mud

THE LAW OF AVERAGES.

In considering the road tax ques-
tion which is about to be put up to
the landowners of Ohio County and
the tax payers in general. it is well
that they reason from an old and
tried law of nature-the law of
averages. We do not know enough
about the valuation of Ohio Coun-
ty land to give an estimate on the
probable average per acre, but we
would judge it to be. as whole
and as 1t stands. about $40 per acre.
This may seem rather conservative
but we are basing our estimate on
the assessment figures. Much land
in the county would sell today for
500 and much more would sell for
less than $40. SO we believe the
above estimate is about the aver
age.
In Daviess County. which. has
