Quaint Garter Customs.

There are several quaint customs
In connection with garters. A descrip-
tlon of two, however, must suffice. The
one is that prevalent In several mid
European countries. of taking off the
brides garter by the best man at the
breakfast, and cutting II up, and dis
trlbuting the pieces among the grooms-
men and guests.
The second Is, or rather was, the
practice In the German Imperial
family of giving the bride thirteen
pairs, one pair of which was kept as
likely to bring her good luck. This
pair Is always made of pale blue silk
(the malden's COLOR, and has diamond
clasps. Another pair was sent to the
museum of Berlin--where there are
something like ninety most interest
Ing speclmens-and the remaining
pairs were given us keepsakes to the
young mobiles and others who attended
the bridegroom at the altar.

try To explain away the obvious
meaning Of his language to the
Pope. He intended it only as a
sop to the Irish extremists, only
as d rhetorical flourish, only as
an abstract doctrine, only as a
historical reminiscence, or what
not. Thus to have to run to the
rescue of a continually imprudent
leader is not exactly a tribute to
his wisdom.
Whatever De Valera's motive,
there is no doubt Of the mischief
wrought by his wholly uncalled-
for telegram to the Holy Father.
He professed to be enlightening
the Vatican, but tacitly to accuse
it of ignorant meddling can
hardly please the Catholic hier-
archy in Ireland. One theory is
that De Valera has been quietly
outvoted and pushed to one side
by the moderate elements in
Sim Fein. On that supposition,
he sought to break up their
negotiation in London. The GER
tain thing is that he greatly en-
barrassed and disturbed them

RAILWAY WAGES
ANDRULES

AhS oRShSsAse~es
workers protest that they are
striking against the alterations
of their working conditions more
than against the wage cut. They
see that the country will not en-
dure their striking against the
reasonable regulation of wages
by a Government board and they
naturally wish to shift their
ground. But, as it happens, they
only make their case worse, for
their working conditions call for
amendment by Government re-
gulation even more than do their
wages. The railways do not OBJ
ject to paying fair wages on the
standards imposed by the Trans
portation act. They do object to
working conditions certainly
adapted, and apparently design
ed, to waste wage money by pay
ments without results.
The trouble with the national
agreements is only partly that
they are national in scope, al
though the duties are highly
local. The greater trouble is that
the rules which labor defends are
intended to made work., =" to in
crease the number of workers
and yet to decrease the product
for which the wages are paid.
There is an overwhelming volume
of evidence showing that the dry
rot of the national working rules
is worse that overpayment of
real workers. Instances may be
given.
Before federal control a mach
inist's helper or a handy man
could put in a nozzle tip on a
locomotive. Under the classifca-
ton of the shop crafts this SIM
plest of jobs requires a boiler
maker and his helper, a pipe
man and his helper, a machinist
and his helper. None of these
trades will lift finger at work
to which the men of any other
union lay a claim. The shop rules
require that the men who couple
and uncouple hose should be paid
as carmen, with punitive over
time and less than eight hours
of work. One road says that it
has to pay $12, 900, 600 for punch
ing the clock" The rules for
overtime require that a shopman
shall be paid for fourteen and
hours If he works five
minutes over nine hours. A
brass cleaner who was paid 70
cents received 68 cents on the
of a shop committee.
Such cases seem too trivial to
mention, but they mount up por-
tentously. One embarr assed
railway paid 50. 1854 back pay to
four employees because the classi-
fication Of their work was chang
ed, the work remaining the same.
