A THREATENED CATASTROPHE.

If, as Grand Chief Stone, of the Lo-
connective Engineers Brotherhood says,
the die is cast" we can only look on
a nationwide railroad strike as a
calamity.
The first thought of the ONE HUN
DRIED AND FIVE MILLIONS of peo-
pie in this COMMUNICATING, we
think, the million and a half railroad
workers-is a hope that before Oct.
80 a compromise will be effected so
that this land will be spared the suf-
fering and terrific business dislocation
that a strike will surely entail. 1t is
good to know that within a few hours
of the labor mems decision, President
Harding had moved government agen-
cies to action in the matter.
The labor leaders, stern injunction
against violence is h%eartening, but
when hundreds of thousands of men,
with bitterness in their hearts, go on
strike simultaneously, there will be
many among them who will pay no
heed to the peace order. They and
their sympathizers are pretty certain
to be guilty of outbreaks here and
there, and it is hoped, therefore, that
the law will be ready to act against
the disorderly and violent.
1t is distressing to anticipate the
suffering that will follow if the rail
roads of the nation are shut down for
even a few days. The very first to
feel the effects of the catastrophe will
be the babies and the sick in the
cities, because il will be difficult to
move milk except small quantities by
motor truck from the farms hi are
within a score of miles of the bigger
cities. The thousands and thousands
of dairy farmers who have been &C
customed to shipping their milk from
a distance of 80 to 100 and even 200
miles, will certainly be placed in a
dismal situation. What to do with the
great product of their farms will be a
problem.
But we won't cry till we see that
strike.

Bridgeton, a former pastor, will per-

The bride will present a charming

Poiret twill, trimmed with long black

Caroline Lee Smith, sister of the
bride, will be the bridesmaid, and Mrs.

NEW YORK. March 1s.-since
1913, when Jawn J. McGraw copped
his third pennant in a row, no Ma
tional League manager has headed
a winner twice consecutively.
Uncle Wnbert Robinson can do a
lot OF things with ball players, but
there Is not enough around his
Brooklyn Club TO Justify the belief
that he will break the precedent.
True, ne has the same club, man
for man, excepting Rube Marquard,
that won the 1920 honors. but while
he has stood pat on his team, other
managers have been adding strength
during the season.
Picking winners on the diamond
is Just about as dependable as pick
ing them on the turf-a hit once In
a while is a good average.
The same Uncle Wilbert Robinson
probably was thinking Of this re-

Only three clubs at this early date
appear TO be in the first class
