My belief is that they are going to

ment to override the states in the
matter Of woman suffrage? The
southern women don't want the ballot
have no proof that they do. This
state did right in rejecting it and the
Vermont governor who is a Republi-
can refuses to call the legislature to-
gether to act on it. This is no party
or POLITICAL question. If the Amer

general vaccination and has sent 100
vaccine points to the town, together
with smallpox placards an dliterature

In 1919 three deaths from small

scattered over the state for several
months and scores of vaccine points
have been sent to different towns.

THE, RAILROAD WAGE AWARD

Railroad employees seem less dis
contented with the amount of their
wage increases, which average about
half what they asked for, than with
the Labor Boards discrimination
among the various unions. The crit
les insist that the raise ought to have
been more nearly uniform. The
groups given less than the average
Increase are jealous of those that are
given more. Thus their quarrel seems
to be less with the government than
with each other
Tis attitude is natural enough, frail
human nature being what 1t is. The
disgruntled unions, however, should
do their best to take the settlement
philosophically, and to appreciate the
reasons given by the board for this
discrimination. 1t Is EVIDENT that, in
general, the Board has given the
biggest increases to those classes of
employees who were most poorly
paid. To an outsider, at least, this
looks like the essence OF simple hu-
man juctice. And be it said to the
credit of some Of the most highly
paid groups that they have aoquiesc-
ed In this principle.
. Fortunately the prospect Is that
the aawrd will be accepted in spite
of this dissatisfaction. The railroad
unons had determined, before hand,
to stand together in it's acceptance or
rejection. The strongest OF the bro
therhoods have promptly decided to
accept. Most OF the others will prob
ably do the same when their refer
endum Is taken, in hope of another
raise next year II the cost Of living
does not fall. There will hardly be
any strike, then, unless small mi
nority should go back to their pledge
and start an outlaw strike" There
Is probably enough good sense among
the leaders to prevent such a des-
perate and suicidal step as that. The
experience of the striking switchmen
has not been encouraging to out
laws"
