have been compelled to lay of their

stitching room help is scarce and has
the tendency to make the availab BILE

able weather conditions continue many
OF the factories will be compelled to
close down. Several of the large manu-
facturers are holding conferences with
their sales forces for the purpose OF
sI speeding deliveries and instructing
their statesmen to explain to customers
the reason for the delay in produc-
tion.
notwithstanding the conditions that
consplre to restrict production. manu-
fiacturers of womens shoes are work
ing from under load Of problems and
are gradually shaping their produc-

the greatest possible results in the
number of finished shoes possible and
are making very creditable showing.
While they have succeeded in obtain

messengers, the problem of shipping

capacity, waiting for rolling stock to
enable them to make actual shipments.
The Gather market is being watched
very cl0sely at present by shoe manu-
facturers, especially the upper leather
situation, which is showing an easier
tone. Buyers must soon 20 into the
market for leather in view of the
limited supply in the storerooms and
the fact that salesmen will soon be

matter of conjecture. 1t may also be
pointed out that cutting of next fall

the low shoe run, wnich is expected to
be a long one. and will consume more
leather for the heavier and higher
winter shoes.

Rail Decision

pelled 10 Accept Present
Value: Holds Courts Ac-
tion Constructive

p.,1road experts having knowledge Of
-. full sext of the United States Su-
.-.me Courts decision in the Kansas
XIV Southern test case asserted yester-
:, that the newspaper dispatches from
Washington were in error in saying
hit it compelled the Interstate SOM
~.,ce Commission to accept the present
,.,ue Of railroad right of ways and ter
finals in fixing the valuation of the
ines. ~, .,
....ed an officer of the Association Of
ps;,way Executives, was that the In
.arstate Commerce Commission cannot
.srr;er companies as to what the re-
sraauction value of their present prop
ss-,,ss is before fixing valuation which
!. n be made the basis of the rate
..rueture under the Cummins-E -Esck
lsw.
:. nat it enables the roads to put into
.ss .s record what the value of their prop
s,.r is. and the Interstate Commerce
remission apparently is under obli-
zion 10 ascertain whether the roads
sss.inste is correct. The Interstate
rommerce Commission wanted to ex-
s,nde the testimo ony of the railroads re-
e,rd,ng the present value of their prop
ssyties. ard il is row directed to receive
that testimony by the Supreme Court
.,d to this extent the decision is very
favorable. Had the decision compelled
,ba Interstate Commerce Commission to
serept the present book values Of the
si]roads the whole valuation question
rnuld have been settled without going
further.
A number OF railroad companies yes
,srdav voted to accept for the six
ronths from March I the compensation
,hey have been receiving during Fed
ersl control. This action was provided
for under the new law, which stipu-
lsted that the roads must act by March
Is. Those roads which do not act be-
fore that time must turn over to the
government their surplus earnings
sboye the return fixed by the railroad
administration until the six months
period has elapsed. 1t is believed that
q msiority OF the roads will accept the
Federal compensation. as in the cases
Of only a fey are earnings running
shead of the average operating income
for the three-year test period.
Among the roads that yesterday voted
TO accept this return were the Atchi-
son, the Rock Island. the New York
Central and subsidiary lines. including
the Rutland. Pittsburgh & Lake Eric,
Chicago. Kalamazoo K Saginaw; the
Southern Pacific. the Missouri Pacific,
the Minneapolis & St. Louis and North
ern Pacific.
The Unioi. Pacific, on the other hand,
is reported 70 have decided to go ahead
without the standard return. believing
that its earnings will be in excess of
hat amount during the six months
guarantee period

RAILROAD STRIKE IS FAILING

| Reports from all sections of the
country indicated that the peak of the
strike had been reached and that the
return movement of the strikers had
begun. This was especially true. in the
middle west, the opening scene of the
| In the east the strikers and railway
managers who are supported by the
railway brotherhood chiefs continued
to fight for the upper hand. Although
strikers succeeded in adding a few re-
cruits to their ranks, the railways as
sisted by hundreds of volunteers, made
substantial progress toward restoration
of normal passenger service. The in
creasing strength of this volunteer sup
port is reported to have made marked
impression on strike leaders and be
railway and union labor leaders pre-
dicted that break was imminent in
eastern territory.
From the south, which has been but
little effected by the strike, came re-
ports of better passenger service and
the resumption of normal conditions.
Coincident with their prediction that
the strike fever was dying out, rail
way brotherhood chiefs took firm
stand against allowing their represent
atives to participate in any conferences
with governmental or railway officials
at which representatives of the newly
formed yardmen's association were
present
"There can be no compromise with
insurgents" declared w. G. Lee, pres
ident of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, "and only one settlement
can be hoped for and that in accord
ance with law and order methods thru
authorized committees for established
organizations"
While many localities were beginning
to feel the effects of food and coal
shortages, railroad officials have been
able to date to prevent famine con-
ditions.
Railroads delivery of mail, while
greatly delayed in some districts N
moving with increased regularity,
Freight embargoes have caused few

there has been no appreciable change

GLENWOOD WILL
CELEBRATE AMEM-
CAMzATlON DAY

A state committee, of which Cover.
nor Shoup IS member, and known ~
the Colorado Americanization commit
tee, recently addressed a letter to May
or Darrow asking that this city shoIi
on May l carry out the patriotic pro-
gram of the American Security League
Mayor Darrow at once took the mat
ter up with the Glenwood Motor club,
the Chamber of Commerce, the city
council and the fraternal organizations
of the city and asked that the day bo
fittingly observed as Americanization
day. 1t is patriotic movement and
is designed as rebuke to bolshevism
and all other species of radicalism and
un-Americanism.
The Glenwood Motor Club is taking
leading part in the matter of prepar-
ations for the proper celebration Of
the day, DIR. Crook having been asked
to look after the activities of this
organization. The Masons, Odd Eel
lows, Woodmen and Eagles are all ex-
pected to take part in the program,
and each organization has appointed
one member of the general committee.
The program contemplates march
through the city and to the pole
grounds where a patriotic address will
be given, and where the school children
will sing patriotic songs, and they will
then carry out their customary May
day fete program, to be followed by
track meet.
