Washington, June 24.-The railroad
labor board at Chicago has been urg-
emily requested by President Wilson
to expedite its wage decision.
The presidents message resulted
from the general unrest among rail-
road workers over the wage question
and the walkout of yardmen and other
employees at Philadelphia, Baltimore
and other cities. Its ext was not
made public, but unofficially it was
described as being of a "forceful
character
Soon after the White House an
nouncement of the presidents action,
w. N. Doak, vice president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
issued a warning that unless there
was a settlement of the year-old wage
controversy by the end of this week.
the situation probably would be much
worse.
The railroad labor board. Mr.. Doak
said, sis wholly responsible for the
present bad situation" He added that
the chiefs of the %brotherhoods desire
the public to know that this much
heralded and advocated method of
adjusting questions of this character
according to present indications is a
rank and hopeless failure"
At the same time, Secretary Wilson
Of the department of labor declared
in a formal statement that while the
labor board had had a big task to
perform it could render no better
public service in the existing situa-
ton than by coming to a speedier
determination of the questions at is
u before t."
The secretary said the railroad
workers had been Extremely patient
under manifold difficulties and that
1t would be a great victory for them
and their official spokesman If they
continue to exercise the same patience
and the same courage until the labor
board has reported a decision which
everybody hopes win be at an early
date.
Mr.. Doak said the railroad labor or
CARNATIONS had done everything rea-
sonable and that they were now con-
sidering means to assist in every
n in preventing workmen from
leaving, but that they knew full we'll
that the men must be given substan-
tial pay increases before their efforts
could be successful.
The railroad labor board at Chi
cago, he continued, had been told of
the seriousness of the situation and
urged, begged and pleaded with to
meet the wage question, but "they ap-
parently are not alive to their duties
and responsibility"

Almost from the moment his black

Somewhere, somehow, I know that
Harry Underwood will cause me very

sHIPRuiLpING SHOULD INCREASE

While shipbuilding in this country
has fallen off greatly during the past
twelve months there is encoura ge-
ment for American shipbuilders, ship
owners and ship operators in the fact
that the shipbuilding in foreign coun-
tries is on the increase.
A statement just issued by Lloyd's
Register of Shipping. Returns from all
countries for the quarter ended July !,
show an aggregate of 100000 tons
under way, compared with S,017,000 at
this time last year.
The sharp decline in American
building has been almost completely
offset by gains made by practically all
theNother maritime countries. On July
/, 1920, there was under construction
in the United Kingdom more than
million gross tons in excess Of the
July 1, 1919, figure, while all other
countries combined, exclusive of the
United States, showed an increase OF
over 400, 900 tons The American ag-
gregate of 3,S74.000 tons a year ago
has now declined to 2,1o5,0oo tons.
Today, therefore. according to the
returns, the United States is building
1,472,00o tons less than the United
Kingdom, whereas, a year ago Ameri-
ca led by 1,35o,0oo tons. AT the same
time the lead held by American ship
yards over those of other countries
Great Britain excluded, has been pared
down so rapidly that the American
margin of 2,25 lO IONS on July L..
1919, has now teen reduced to less
than 10000 tons. The rapidity of the
shrinkage in shipbuilding in this coun-
try is indicated by the fact that al
most up to the beginning of this year
the United States was still leading the
United Kingdom.
These figures are interesting. but
there is nothing in the statement given
above to discourage American shipping
interests. Ships are not built on i'm
mediate demand, in every instance, but
on the contrary, most ships are built
on faith and confidence in future bust
ness conditions and future demands of
business, so If Great Britain is in
creasing her shipbuilding program why
cannot the United States do likewise.
1t requires confidence on the part OF
investors, and their faith in the future
of the American marine. but with this
faith and confidence every shipbiulding
plant in this country can be made al
most as busy as they were at the
time of greatest construction two
years ago.

MEDICAL SEcTS.
BY r. z. Spencer. M. Q.l


In the olden days when a man was
taken sick he sent for the family paly-
sician-usually only one was available.
Nowadays, a physician is still sent
for, but there are many sects from
which to choose, the allopaths, the
homeopaths, the osteopaths, the CHR
opractors, the Christian science heal
ers and others. With such a multi
plicity of sects an intelligent choice is
necessary but often difficult to the
average man.
Yet most people will agree that a
broken leg would probably fare better
under the care of surgeon. A mis-
placed yertebra causing pain by pres
sure upon nerve would likely be re-
lieved by manipulations of an osteo-
path, and certain nervous affections
may be benefited by the suggestive
mental therapy of the Christian science
healer, though this method did not
come into the world with the advent
of Mrs. Eddy.
People often wonder what the truth
is concerning the various medical
sects. think it is this: there Is some
virtue in every one of them. And it
be said of them as of religions, There
is soul of truth in ALL" Their failure
lies in the fact that it seems impos-
sible for them to realize their limita-
tions. Each sect has discovered
small fact. They have taken this fact
and attempted to make a universal
principle and a universal application
Of the principle.
"Sinilia similibus curantur" or like
cures like" may be fact, but it is not
a universal one. There is no sin,
there is no pain" may be true in iso-
lated instances, but when one steps on
a cats tail she gives forth startling
evidence which controverts this die
tum.
1t is doubtful If cancer can be cured
by manipulating the spine or a broken
leg made Immediately to knit by absent
treatment, although the latter has not
only been attempted but success claim
ed.
Pure science takes nothing for
granted. Every new fact must be
ing but common sense applied to sim
pie but accurate observations. For ex-
ample, the value of vaccination against
smallpox or typhoid fever has been
beyond doubt on many
thousands over period Of many years,
and to be convinced of this you have
only to investigate the facts.
In things medical, as elsewhere, it
is well to keep to the middle Of the
road and an open mind.

VII LpEcREAsE TAXES.

Much stress Is being laid upon Inc
importance of the registration of wom-
en-. for the bond election, which takes
place September %, but while this Is
OF the utmost Importance. it must not
be overlooked that many OF the men
have so far failed to register, and that
unless they do so, and their poll taxes
are paid, they will not be able to par
ticipaAe in putting over good roads
for Escambia county.
As the campaign has progressed.
less and less opposition is manifested
towards the 100000 bond issue. and
1t is believed that the election will
carry in the affirmative by an over
whelming majority. There has been
much dissatisfaction for long time
in regard to county roads. the people
realizing that, according to the old
program. they were getting small re-
turn for the outlay.
Questions the people are asking are:
What will be the tax increase? How is
the money to be spentF What will the
state do to aid us?
We have 1o2 miles in the Flomaton.
Ferry Pass, Nunez Ferry, Atmore and
Gulf Beach Highways, which viii
cost US between s150-$200 per mile per
year, to keep in good repair. or APP
proximateIy an annual expenditure Of
$175,000. This is the estimate of ex-
perienced engineers. We pay the state
a two mill tax, upon which we get nc
return ;equaI to $4,000. The total cost
to the county is 100000 each year. for
dirt roads. The same roads may be
built into hardsurfaced roads at q
cost of s1S4, 900. by bonding the county
for 100000 So instead of an in
crease in our taxes, we find a de-
crease.
II we do not build a permanent type
of road, we get no state or federal aid
In order to build such roads. counties
must bond. The roads which are to
receive state and federal aid will be
built as soon as state and federal aid
funds are available, and our bonds are
sold. This commission is pledged to
use every effort possible to hasten
their construction, and to see that they
are built in manner to meet the APP
prevail of the people in the commune
ties affected.
The funds derived from the sale OF
each issue of these bonds, and the
taxes levied to meet payments of in
terest and to retire the bonds, will be
invested exclusively by a board of
bond trustees, elected by the county
commissioners. Any registered voter
is qualified to vote in this election, as
there are no property restrictions.
