Although these dresses we're made
out of unbleached muslin, no two

owners. Some dresses were low

A. "No. SIR
@. "Give the circumstances; how did she
Happen to leave?"
A. ''She said she didn't love me any more
and that she wasn't happy and wasn't
making me happy. and consequently the
best thing to do was to separate and try to
get divorce on the ground Of desertion
later on. We talked over various means
Of getting divorces. lots Of things were
proposed and rejected. and I left the house.
This was on Sunday night that the con-
versation took place. and Monday morning

and even kissed her good-by and left her
in q very nice way"
Mr.. Oppenheimer testified that when he
came home that night his wife had gone
and many of his things were missing.
That led to a controversy. He accused
her OF taking them and demanded their
return. He did not see her again until
October, when she and her sister called at
the house in Bloomfield. They stayed all
night.

his counsel asked.

PREVENT A RAIL TIE-UP.

Railroad labor is going to be an is
sue. Financial regeneration of the
roads is going to be another issue.
One or both may cause suspension
of traffic. Suspension of traffic
means suspension Of food.
We have had good deal of expert
ence in settling after the strike. That
experience should teach us to settle
before the strike. Most strikes come
upon us in uniform fashion. First
come threatenings. No one seems to
bother. Then come Indifferent nego-
tiations. They fall through. The pub
lie stands helpless. The employers
close up. The strikers walk out. When
suffering becomes acute there is a
great zeal for compromise and ad-
justment.
Such methods are wasteful. In the
end the public pays. Employers find
it convenient, now and then, to be pa
tient and wait for public sentiment.
Public sentiment ought to begin prac-
ticing forehandedness. Public senti-
ment ought not to wait until the coal
] bins are empty and the pantry shelves
bare. 1t ought to be constantly ac-
tive, demanding that coal bins be kept
full and pantry shelves. well stocked.
Why wait for famine?
Financial regeneration and the la
Dor question are interdependent in a
large degree If the roads are COM
petently operated and if they give
evidences Of healthy progress, they
may borrow all they need. But to be
efficiently operated they must have
diligent workers. Diligence can best
be. promoted by good wages, health
insurance, old age pensions, and other
incentives to competitive energy.
If the workers lack. incentives
strikes will occur. A tie-up of the
railroads affects the whole prospect.
ty Of the nation. But it affects most
the integrity of the roads themselves
Credit is not likely to be forthcoming
for roads that are run down and in.
efficiently manned.
Strikes must be abolished. This
cannot be done by governmental
mandate. It must be done by making
railroad service highly desirable. Tit

light to strike may be abolished only

right to strike may be abolished only
by removing the desire to strike.
The time to consider these things
is before we find the country stran-
gled by it's clogged arteries. When
the trains have stopped we must do
something. The thing then becomes
unacceptable. Why isn't it just as UNI
escapable now?
Congress has the power to make
financing of the roads simple mat
ter. The roads should not be thrust
back upon the owners without some
means of financial regeneration. Those
who have money to invest wait to
make sure Of their investments. They
have right to expect stability I'M
DERIVING their investments. If they
are assured that labor conditions will
permit of efficient operation they will
invest. If labor unrest appears to be
inevitable they cannot be blamed for
reluctance.
Overlapping these phases is the de-
mand of the public for good service
The public pays. Therefore the pub
lie is not to be cheated by inferior
i operation, wastefulness and enormous
losses through strikes. Inasmuch as
it must ray, the public insists upon a
return for it's money. That return
can be made only by diligent and
contented workers and thoroughly re-
habilitated lines.-Chicago Tribune.
