Especial Despatch to The Reformer.)
Copyright 1921.
WASHINGTON, April 1G.-The rail
roads are getting back to normally. The
decision of the railroad labor board Is
hailed here as the first step in an adj
iustment between employers and employees.
In some respects it is a victory for the
railroads. but upon careful analysis the
decision is really found to be a compro-
mise.
The so-calIed national agreement, which
has now been abrogated. required the
railroads to deal as a unit with their en-
pIOyeS In other words. the arrangement
was made when the roads were under fed
eral control and the government was Il
single employer. Since the systems have
been returned to their owners, the roads
have contended that each employer should
be permitted TO work out his own saliva
ton with his own employees, because con-
ditiOnS are different i'll each locality. La
Dor insisted that it was simpler to retain
the national conference idea. But tins
the railroad labor board has upset and its
decision also sweeps aside scores of veXa-
tiOuS rules regarding working hours
which. it is estimated, have caused a
waste of about $300,00O,o0O year.
Ruling PreSages Economy.
As the situation rests now. it is incum-
bent upon the railroads to get into CON
ference with their employees and adopt Il
set of rules to govern working conditions.
The railroad labor board has not given
either side a free hand, however. Those
rules must conform to the is principles
| laid down IN the Chicago decision. The
effect of some of those principles is such
! as not to destroy altogether some of the
burdeuSOmC rules, but even if the rail
roads should be able to save SlJ00OO, 600
annually by means of new working rules,
! the economy viii be considerable. Fur
thermOre. the disciplinary effect of deal
! ing directly with ones own men and reg
! ulating conditions locally is expected ia
| be big factor in efficiency of operation
/ The Is principles laid down by the
/ railroad labor board preserve in a large
/ sense the labor standards, which the rail
| road employees We're most apprehenSIye
about losing if the national agreements
were abrogated. Labor was not 80 much
concerned with possible reductions in pay
as the maintenance of rules which safe
| guarded employees against abuse by arbi
| trary action of uuruly railroad officials.
| But the Chicago decision sets forth cardi.
I nal principles, which must be the basis
If all rules. whether local or regional OIL
! national. If the parties to the dispute
/ cannot formulate q set of rules by July !
/ next. the railroad labor board will hand
down a set of rules binding upon both
sides.

To,unley Fails to Satisfy
Audience In His AnslUer
To Question On Loyalty

Harrington, Kan. May ia Kan
sas mother who lost a son in the
world war. Saturday challenged Ar
thur c. Townley's. right to lead po-
litical faction inasmuch as the head
Of the Nonpartisan league stands con-
victcd of consp:ring to be disloyal.
Mrs. r. Homrighous Of Wichita
his debate with William LANCER.
which was answered by the usual
suave wordiness which char2ctcrizes
Townley's platform strategy.
"Mr. Townley. I ask you in the in
terest OF Kansas women and as "a
mother who sacrificed son in the
defense Of our country, what assur-
ance you will give the mothers and
other women Of Kansas that you will
safeguard this state from disloyal
leaders and radical nondescripts, since
you, yourself have been convicted of
conspiring to be disloyal?'
Mrs. Homrighous query was met
with a round of applause from the
nti-leaguers in the audience Of 800
that congregated in tent erected
near the town.
Townley was somewhat taken aback
by the question. Mrs. Homrigho hous
small Of stature. spoke with sharp ac-
cents that burned their meaning into
Townley dramatically and forcefully.
Answer Fails to Satisfy.
We'll. now we will just overlook
the part about disloyalty Tor time"
Townley began slowly. The audience
was silent, waiting for the "big chief
to formulate his answer. II answer
you by saying that the organization
as planned in Kansas will be elected
the same as it has been inr North Da-
kota- The county organization will
have its leaders from its own group
Of citizens. These leaders will con-
stitute the state leaders. say that
the farmers of Kansas are big enough
mentally TO profit from the mistakes
that have been made in North Da-
kota." s.ts''s, Z -, egs
The answer apparently did not sat
isfy allsof the audience. Mrs. HON.
rkhous then said she asked the Ques-
ton because the disloyal charge still
stood against him.
Later in his rebuttai, Townley gave
the first public statement Of his arrest
and. conviction for conspiring to be
disloyal Tor the benefit OF the lady
who asked me about my conviction OF
disloyalty. sedition or whatever she
says 1t was. want to make this ex-
plantation" Townley said.

FREEZING SAVES TROUBLE.

New York-An interesting applica-
ton of the freezing system in shaft
sinking is exhibited in the Washing
ton colliery in England. When the
shaft had been sunk a short distance,
it was found that layer of quick
sand 80 feet in depth must be pene-
trated. To prevent the wet sand from
flowing into the shaft it was frozen
solid. A circular row Of holes form
ing ring over 20 feet in diameter.
was made round the shaft, and BY
means Of metal pipes q freezing mix
ture of brine Of chloride Of sodium,
was caused to circulate in the holes.
This had the effect. of freezing the
sand IN circular wall round the
shaft as hard as rock. On the re-
moval of the soft sand in the center
the frozen wall remained intact. pro-
tecting the workmen from the quick
sand behind it.
