1t was evening and the rising sun
Was setting in the west,
And the fishes IN the trees

Then there was gay young Miss,
She was old and bent with years;
Upon her face she wore smile,
And her eyes were filled with tears.

The main ship channel from Monomoy

The Cross Rip lightship was forced
from its moorings when the pack broke
and the lonely ship with its tolllng bell

men on board. 1t was q hard winter

Washington. Feb. 20. - Organized
railroad workers and union labor In
general, holding the re-drafted rail-
rOad reorganization bill to be destruc-
tive Of the employees constitutional
privileges and liberties, have called on
Congress to defeat the measure In It's
entirety. Representative OF the fif-
teen railroad unions ut the close Of II
conference, attended by .Presihen:
Gompers and Secretary Morrison of
the American Federation of Labor.
made public 4 memorial to Congress
embodying this declaration:
The pending bill deprives citizens
employed upon railroads Of the in
violate right to enjoy gains OF their
own industry. The returns to capital
are fixed upon an arbitrary basis; the
rate which the public must pay and
the wages which labor must receive
must accommodate Themselves to this
basls fixed for capital. This act makes
the public and labor subservient to
capital. For these reasons herein yet
forth and many others, we request and
respectfully urge that the bill he de-
feated In its entirety"
During the all-day conference, In
formation was given out that letters
Of protest against the wage provisions
o( the bin would be sent to President
Wilson and Director General Hines.
Later It wds decided to make the first
fight In Congress, and intimatiOns
were given that II defeated there. the
workers then would carry the battle
10 the White House. hoping that the
President might veto the legislation.
The memorial, addressed to the peo-
l,le Of the United States as well an to
the two houses Of Congress, declares
that the bill, In enunclatinE II prInci-
pie for basing the financial return Of
Investors, subverts the principles Of
American government. This provision.
the memorial holds, would constitute
'an abandonment Of government for
the common good. the establishment
Wf government for private interest,
special privilege and class benefits"
Provisions Of the measure for mr.
bitrati0n Of disputes are attacked be-
cause of the manner In which the spe-
ciai arbitration boards would he con
stituted and because OF the way In
which they would operate. The arbi-
trntion boards. including the perma-
ncnt federal board Of nine members,
might be 80 composed, the memorial
declares, us to eliminate labor from
boards ms set forth IN the bill, the
memorial states. would destroy all
