There is a difference of opinion be-

road, although more expensive to build,
the cheapest in the long run on account
of the low cost of maintenance, which l
understand the Public Works Officer has
estimated will be around one thousand
dollars per mile per year. The flrst cost
of a concrete road will naturally depend
very much upon the cost OF cement and

note the excellent oesults the new instru-

ShOpmen's Strike.
The strike of 1919 was over the
question of wage increase, to con-
form with the rising cost of living.
On Aug. l, Chicago's railroad shop
men walked out and were later fol-
lowed by the men in New York and
Boston. About 1876, 900 men stopped
work and a general strike over the
nation was threatened.
But on promise of President VIII
son of slight increase in pay and
his request for delay until the coun-
try could come back to normal, the
men gradually returned to work.

NOT NEW FOR COUNTRY TO FACE
RAIL TIE-UP; FIVE TIMES BEFORE
HAVE GENERAL STRIKES PENDED

New York, Oct 21.-Ffve times
before has this country faced a real
or threatened railroad strike. These
were:
L Strike of 1877.
2. Pullman strike of 1894.
3. Threatened strike for eight
hour day, 1915 and 1917.
4. Strike Of railroad shopmen
and general demand for increased
wages, 1913.
S. Outlaw" strike Of railroad
switchmen, 1890.
Strike IN 1877.
Riot accompanied the railroad
strike of 1877. It began on the
Baltimore G. Ohio road, when the
mems wages were reduced 10 per
cent. 1t spread through the Penn
sylvania system and then through
out the country.
When the Pennsylvania state
militia refused to fire on the as
sembled strikers, national troops
were called out to suppress the
rioting. The loss to the PennsyI-
vania road alone amounted to
$4,000, 900, while Pittsburgh suffer
ed loss IN business and property
damage of $4,000, 900.
The strike, however, was unsuc-
cessfui and it died out a month aft
er it had started.
In 1888 there was q strike OF the
men on the Chicago, Burlington &,
Quincy railroad, which soon ended
in the creation of a railroad board
of arbitration.
Pullman Strike.
The Pullman strike Of 1894 began
with a walkout on May IL of the
Pullman employees when their
wages were reduced an average of
rs per cent.
The American Railway Union. an
organization outside the big four
brotherhoods, also called out its
members and a general strike of
the railway workers began on June
&c, 1894.
The estimated loss to the country
at large as a result of this walkout
was said to reach $50, 900, 900.
Troops were sent to Chicago to
maintain order.
This strike ended with the in
OiIIAASAI VI Eugene v. DeDS and
other leaders for contempt of court
in refusing to obey the Injunction
against striking.
Eight Hour Fight.
There were a few scattered local
strikes after that, but none came
up to the proportions of the diff
Guilty that arose between the gov
eminent and the railroad men in
1916 and 1917.
A request for an eight-hour day
and time and half overtime caused
the Intervention of President viii
son, who suggested that the rail-
roads grant the eight-hour daY.
without extra overtime. Although
the brotherhoods favored the pro
posal, the railway officials rejected
1t and national strike was called
for Sept. 4.
By Sept. 2, congress passed the
Adanson eight-hour law, which
temporarily averted the strike. But
the federal district court of Kansas
declared the law unconstitutional
After continued controversy, the
railroad brotherhoods again called
a strike to begin March IT, 1917.
The government interviewed again
and was able to hold mp the $. ike

The strike caused a temporary

able to get the trains running reg

loyal employees. The ~outiaWed
strikers sought reinstatement, but
this was refused at the convention
OF the brotherhoods in May or this
year.

FARM BUREAU HOLDS
IMPORTANT MEETING

The Executive Committee of the
Medina County Farm Buresu met in
regular session Thursday afternoon,
Feb. 10, the following being present:
Paul Elliott, pres; E. w. Nettleton,
vice pres; r. e. Lance, sec'y; C. B.
Abbott, treas; r. d. Wall, A. J.
Rice, Fred Eastman.
Plans for the ensuing year were
discussed and the following lines of
activity were endorsed:
1. Cow-testing organization to be
organized.
2. Standardization Of wheat.
3. Elevators. .
A. Soil fertility, especially drain
age and lime.
5. Boys and girls club work.
The object of the boys and girls
club work is to develop young men and
women, by giving them training in
the fundamental truths of agricul-l
ture, and farm life practices through
the direct application of the boys and
girls program. These groups Of
young folk viii be trained as COM.
munity groups to act comparatively in
the chief concerns Of the community.
This will make for better citizen-
ship out Of which the farmers and
the homemakers will make a strong
contribution to a well-baianced ma
tional democracy.
The success of the present farmers
organizations and their activities is
dependent upon a group Of men and
women who have been directed and
instructed in economic production as
well as in close community organfza-
tions. Organizations and groups of
men striving to attain satisfactory
social, educational, religious, and in
dustrial conditions for farm families
must be constantly rejuvenated by
young men and women who have been
trained in productive agriculture,
self expression and group action such
as we get in the boys and girls
clubs. A@ +,

tary gave report of the State Equi-

The Chinese question has been in
jected into the disarmament conference
as was generally expected; but. the in
lection has come from Chinese repre-
sentatives. China is the real bone OF
contention in the east. She is the most
populous country of the world and is
pretty highly civilized. Not only this
she is probably the most attractive
the position of conquered country.
She is certainly looted country. Diff
ferent sections of the country have
BEEN appropriated by England, France
and Japan. Each Of these n4-
tions have compelled the Chinese to
acknowledge the immunity of their ma
tionals from Chinese law. Foreigners in
China have the right to submit all
their differences with the natives to a
special foreign court. China has been
deprived of the right to levy such
tariffs as she deems proper and must
follow schedules laid down by foreign
ers. The Chinese have asked for the
establishment of the open door in China
so far as foreign trade is concerned;
but that otherwise the foreigners rclin-
quish control in their present self
constituted spheres Of influence and
give the country back to native self
government. The United States has
made no hesitation about acceeding to
the justice Of these demands and Eng
land, France and Japan say that they
are agreed "in principle" In the mean
time poor China continues PROSTATE
and a prey to the greed Of foreigners
