THE CAR SHORTAGE
KEEPS LIMESTONE
FROM THE FARMERS

There Is little hope for the farmers
who need supply Of limestone for
their farms this fall" said Mr.. Charles
r. Wagner, representative Of the Ma
tional Limestone Association, with
headquarters at Columbus, Ohio, who
paid visit to Mount Vernon today.
Producing companies have plenty Of
stone for the farms, but they are un-
able to secure cars for the shipment Of
the stone to the farmers. He told
County Agent S. L. Anderson that the
association was doing its utmost to Sc.
cure cars, and would do anything pos
sible to assist farmers to get the nec-
essary limestone for their farms. They
are ready to rush shipments just as
soon as the car situation, is relieved.

RAILROAD WAGE AWARD

Raiiroad' employees seem less DIS
contented with the amount Of theif
wage increases, which average about
haN what they asked for; than with
the labor boards discrimination
among the various unions. The crit
les insist that the raise ought to nave
been more. nearly uniform. Fhe
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.
This attitude is natural enough,
frail human nature being what II Is.
The disgruntled unions, however,
should do their best to take the SET
!. Element pi,ilosophically, and to ap'
preciate 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 or
simple human justice. And be It said
to the credit of some of the most
highly paid groups that they have ac'
quiesced in this principle.
Fortunately, the prospect Is that
the award will be accepted in spite
of this dissatisfaction. The railroad
unions had determined, before hand,
to stand together in It's acceptance or
rejection. The strongest of the broth
erhoods have promptly decided to ac-
cent. Most of the others will prob
ably do the same when their referen-
dun 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 a small minority
should 20 back on their pledge and
start an OUTLAW strike" There Is
probably enough good sense among
the leaders to prevent such a desper-
ate and suicidal step as that. The ex'
perlence of the striking switchmen
has not been encouraging to "out-
laws"

purchase at the expense OF the
people by means Of special bills
introduced In the house,, to pay
them higher rates OF pension than
they are entitled to under the
general law; those people of ma.

it is believed, suggests a new basis
of compromise along the lines of

refusal of the alternative contained
in the allied ultimatum, is couched
in a conciliatory tone and opens the
