CIRCULATE STRIKE PETITION
AMONCLOCAL RAILROAD men:
WALK-OUT HITS WASHINGTON
EXPECT ACTION BY
STATE DEPARTMENT

Washington. April 11.--With the
return of Attorney-General Palmer
TO Washington tomorrow, definite
announcement as to the course OF
action to be taken by the depart
ment Of justice in coping with the
railway strike is expected.
Mr.. Palmer will take complete
charge of the departments actiyi-
ties in this direction. He has been
kept in close touch with develop
ments during the past two days and
it Is believed. has made up his mind
already as TO what probable course
of action the department will take.
Judge Ames, who has been In
charge Of the matter in the absence
OF the Attorney general, spent to-
day at the department studying re-
ports thus far received from Fed
era1 agents in the various strike To-
calities. He refused, however, TO
discuss in any way what action by
the department they would war
rant 1t was strongly limited by Of
flcials, though. that the attorney
generals return would he followed
shortly by i'm portant Developments.
II is understood that the evil
dence thus far gathered by the de-
partment's agents would go far
toward establishing the fact that
the various strike outbreaks are
the result of concerted action. AT
first officials believed that it would
be difficult to establish conspiracy
in connection wit hthe walkouts.
1t is regarded as certain now. how
ever. that sufficient evidence of this
has been found TO warrant action
by the department.

night in a sermon the text OF which
was: The wicked walk on every side
when the vilest men are exalted" In
the sarnon he declared that vice
could not flourish unless it was pro-
tected. He said:
Some tell me that / ought not to
preach upon such subjects as this.
that 1t Injuries my popularity. | am
not preaching for popularity. / am
trying to speak as Gods messenger

to King Ahab: YOU are a robber"

Shoes for Travellers" His text was
the 25th verse Of Deuteronomy 80,
reading as follows; Thy shoes shall
be iron and brass: and as thy days.
so shall thy strength be"
he stated that the above text was
the most suitable in the Bible to the
occasion. Just as you travelling men
are more acquainted with Pierce Ar
rows, Cadilacs and tin lizzies, the trav-
eiers of those days used the shoe The
shoe ~
ever God wanted to typify strength
and power he used the shoe"

You are doing your duty TO men

within your power TO do a great deal
OF this work. Put in sales for God
always and first"

rect influence OF a travelling man. who

great Christian and Y. NJ C. A. sec
rotary John r. Mott was a student
a. Cornell University at the time and

there. 0fds was the influence thai
brought Mott to Christ and the tray

Rev. Edwards said that he did not
believe there was a greater Christian
man l.. the world today than Johp
r Mott He said that the great
leader was not only a power for gooe
and right in the United States bu
throughout the world.
