TIRED OF HIS LITTLE SPREE
Runaway" Canary Glad to Be Back
in the Comfort and Safety
of His Home.

Mrs. Robert TOmlinson of Martins
vile has a canary that answers to
the name of Woody, relates the Indi-
annapolis News. Last fall the bird es-
capped from the cage and few away.
Immediately the whole town was
asked to keep its figurative eye on
Woody. He was reported here and
there, feeding with the town sparrows.
Mrs. B. would call up and say that she
had seen him, but by the time his
owner came he was gone.
For whole month Woody cayorted
around with the pests of the neigbbor-
hood. Then dark, rainy days began
to dawn. Still Woody stayed with the
sparrows. A nelghbor called up from
the other side of the town one day
and said that Woody was sitting
around in her trees, the very picture
Of despair. There is little doubt that
he. was thinking of his warm cage
at home. So his owner HE'D herself
over to the spot and hung his cage
in one of the trees. Then she went
in to gossip. The rain continued to
fall and presently Woody hoped into
his cage, and the tragedy was over,
for that night he had his regular warm
spot In the dining room.

Excess of Oil Production.

Conditions in Oklahoma when the
great Gushing pool came in illustrated
another aspect of the oil situation. The
flush production, for q time was far
in excess of storage and transporta-
ton facilities, so that oil was stored
on the ground, behind earthen bikes,
and run into dry creeks that were
damned up to form reservoirs.
From sheer excess of production
over local demand, the price fell to 40
cents a barrel, not because that was
the value of the oil to the refinery at
Chicago or BayOnne, but because there
was no way at the time to get 1t there,
and new wells were coming in by the
dozen day after day.-Ray Morris in

that of handling meats and produce

Attorney General Palmer, in state
ment commenting on the effect or

WILSON SIGNS
RAILROAD Bill
Transportation Lines Go Back to
Private Control Sunday
Night.
PLEDGES FAIR WAGE BOARD
Twenty-Six Months of Federal Control
and Operation End-President
Names Walker D. Hines to
Wind Up Matters.

Washington, March president
Wilson signed the railroad bill, max
ing it a law. The legislation on which
conores has worked intermittently for
months became efrective-the presi-
dent having approved it-at the same
time the roads were turned back by
the government to their owners at
II :01 o'clock Monday morning.
Thus ends 20 months of federal con-
troll and operation of the lines. some
of the urgent journalistic advocates of
government ownership have within the
last week threatened Mr.. Wilson that
if he signed this bill he would seal the
doom of the Democratic party, but he
signed it, nevertheless.
The president issued a proclamation
naming Walker d. Hines, under the
provisions of the act, to wind up all
matters arising out of federal control.
He also sent his reply to the 10 rail
way unions which have urged that
pending wage disputes should be left
TO a bipartisan body-management
and men-to operate independently of
the bill.
The president took the position that
the machinery set up by the new rail-
road act Is ample to advance quick
and fair settlements. He pointed out
that the act itself sets forth that all
carriers and their officers and en-
ployees shall exert every means pos
sible to avoid halt in transportation
growing out of any dispute, and that
whenever possible disputes shall be
decided in conference between repre-
sentatives and employees.
Mr. Wilson holds that the plain in
tentiOn of the bill was that a BIZ
partisan body should be set up to try
to settle the pending wage problem.
lie told the unions he will at once call
upon 10th sides to join in selecting
such committee. This board, he
substitute for the body of experts he
recently suggested when the threat
ened strike Of the maintenance of way
men was called off.
Concerning the labor board itself,
on which three elements-the manage
ment, the workers and the public
are TO have three members each, the
president tells labor it is needlessly
alarmed.
81 cannot share the apprehension of
yourselves and your constituents" he
writes.
To the few labor leaders left in
town the signing of the bill brought
no surprise. The sentiment appeared
10 be that the promise of the presi-
dent to expedite action on the pending
wage disputes through a bipartisan
agency would have tonic effect on
the situation.
The big leaders secuted the idea OF
any widespread strike. although spo-
radio walkouts have been bobbing up
for some time.
SO far as the act itself goes, it is
projected into politics and lator's
move will be into the congressional
elections, with the aim of getting what
amendments it desires from the next
congress.
