WORKERS REJECT
WAGE REDUCTIONS

New York, March l5.-RallroaC
workers in the East have decided to
rejec. all proposals of wage reduc,
tions and carry their fight to the rail
road labor board, if the cuts are put
into effect.
Representatives of the workers who
have been holding conferences, it was
definitely learned tonight, have de-
cided upon this course, taking the
position that the present wage STAN
dard must be maintained and econ
omic conditions will not permit of
any reduction.
There is little danger of any cessa-
ton of work should the railroads put
the reduction in force, union officials
said, as the employees will appeal to
the labor board at Chicago and abide
by it's decision. The railroad manage
ment it IS understood also will obey
The labor boards edict.
The position of the workers was Of
ficially made clear today, when
representatives of the unskilled men
notified the management of the New
York Central railroad that they fatty
refused to consider proposed wage
cuts of from 17f1-2 to 21 per cent.
las we find that those employees to-
day are not receiving sufficient in
come to maintain their families prop
erly."

YOUR BUSY DAY.

Have you ever had a busy day?
We hope not, because if you have we
fear you are no longer Christian.
j We have known people to set aside
a certain day to do a particular piece
of work, something which required
more than usual care and attention,
and something which required that
one be free from interruption and
annoyances.
Well, it is on these busy days that
the cow gets out, the water pipe
bursts, the house needs painting, the
cook wants her money (Which you
haven't got), button comes off your
pants which you can't get sewed on,
: the well rope breaks, the mule runs
, away wi h the. plow, the plows need
sharpening. In fact it is on the busy
days that everything in general hap
pens. ..
E, If you are running law office, and
there is a deed which you have been
promising to prepare for some client
3: and for which he is waiting or plead
=; ing to be filed and the time is almost
up, and the thing must be done now
or never, some friend drops in and
after talking an hour asks you what
you think about the weather. Or it
maybe that there is question about
the check law, or the labor contract
. law, or the school law, or some other
law, which he would like to ask. Your
client comes in. They come in and
talk over the situation, and then they
, go over it again. They plow up the
row and then turn and plow back,
and then they rest and plow again.
+; And it is the same way if you have
a good editorial in your system,
which you want to get out. Every time
you take the pen in hand some negro
from the farm comes in (you know
you cannot run. newspaper unless
YOU have a farm or some other en-
terprise to take up all the profits of
the newspaper business) and says
that the handle to last years plow
stock is little loose, vr the point of
the gimlet is broken off, or the
ground is wet in one place or dry in
another and you can't plow, or they
need some seed corn or little cane
ed to plant, or something else equal
ly as necessary.
If these things don't happen then
the city treasurer comes by to tell
you that your next paving assess
ment is about due, or you get no.
tice from the bank that, the other no
tice about your note being past due
must have been mislaid, and the next
0ne disregarded, and that the note is
still unpaid and so is the "in-t-r-u-s-t"
Now a good many people may no.
have busy days but we have them on
Press and Banner block, that is Col.
.Jenner Link has them, and some 9TH
ers. And we are writing now to say
to you that if there is anything you
want to know, or anything you want
done, or any other old thing, the day
to have it attended to on this block
is our busy day.

BOGUS MONEY FOR
 CANADIAN LIQUOR
u. s. Bootleggers and Coun- r terfeiters Are Said to Be m Double Game Now.

SEATTLE, Oct. 29.-Liquor run ners, operating on large scale, and bootleggers, in league with exceed ingly clever counterfeiters, are food ing the Northwest, especially Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane, with thou
 ands of dollars insbogus $10 Fed i tral Reserve notes, it was made known here through Captain w. R. JarIcll Of the United States Secret Service. Money transactions in il- liCit deals for large quantities of liquor make the passing of the coun- torfeit notes easy, Captain farrell said, and virtually impossible to trace.
 Merchants arc often the ultimate lcrers, and not the bootleggers and liquor runners, the Secret Service finds. The money is passed along to stores by the persons who sell the liquor. The losses are heavier to Canadian merchants and banks than to persons on this side of the in ternationaI boundary.
 The attention of the Seattle Secret Service operatives was especially di- rected to the flood of money by mer- chants here, it was said. Ten coun- terfeit $10 bills have been passed on stores within their jurisdiction in the last few days.
 The Spokane office of the United State Secret Service now has under arrest, Captain farrell said, Tom Foley and Rachac l Hyland, who were found in possession of fify-five of the counterfeit notes. It is charg- cd that they tried to pass them along to a Canadian liquor dealer
 Two other men were arrested at Fernie, B. G., trying to purchase liquor for the Seattle trade, it is al- legged, and had 150 of the bogus $10 notes F-. '-5f a
 The counterfeit notes are more easily passed on Canadian dealers, who furnish liquor runners with their stocks for transportation to Se- attle, operatives said, fnasmuch as the Canadians are comparatively un- familiar With the American bills The bills in large amounts have even passed through Canadian banks, it is said
 Officers charge that, in their be- lief, the liquor runners are not in- nocent victims of the counterfeiters, but are their willing tools, both sharing in the profits The inter- change of bills is often made rap idly, also, on this side of the line, and takes place frequently at night when there is little opportunity to examine the money closely./

HAWAIIAN GOVERNOR PROTESTS
 TERRITORIES TRANSFER FROM
 ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER

HONOLULU, T. H. Oct. 29.-Pro- test against transfer of the admins tration of the territory of Hawaii from the Depahtment Of the Interior to the State Department, was voiced here. by Governor Wallace R. Earring ton, when advices told of bill 'ho ing introduced into the Senate by Senator Medill Mccormick, of Illinois, providing for grouping the Hawaiian Islands with the Philippines, Guam, Porto Rico, Santo Domingo, Haiti and Samoa
 My attention has been called to this bill" Governor Burlington said "Hawaii's immediate reaction to any such move is vigorous protest. but .udents of events are bound to re- alize that the general drift of public opinion in the United States for some years past has been to group Hawaii with insular possessions. The aver age citizen, and one could also truth fully say the average official. does

not differcntiate between the t.rri- torial status of Hawaii and the pos sessicn' status of other islands under Americal jurisdiction. r
 "lt is obvious that the American reople nesd a liberal education on what Hawaii is. The whole force of community pride and business acu- men, as well as first-class salesman ship must be brought into play to countCYIc this move The leaders of the territory should get in touch with prominent officials and business men on the mainland and blockade any cff)r to put this territory in an undesirable classification.
 People of Hawaii should not be blind 10 the fact that the events in this ocean and the majority of news paper headlines have caused the peo- pie in the United States to think of Hawaii more frequently in terms of the state department than of the in- terioH department, however"

NEW BLOC IN SENATE; MEMBERS
 N. BANDED TO BOOST COLD MINING

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-Now arrives on the scene the gold mining bloc The agricultural bloc has fought it's way to power and im- portance in the Senate. Why should not the mining intersts likewise combine to obtain leGislati5n to aid that stricken industry? }
 Twenty-two Senators rom 12 states asked themselves this question and answered it by forming a com bination. They want the Govern ment to do something to encourage gold mining, although there are some economists and financiers who maintain that enc of the grave evils of the day is that there is too much gold in the United Staes Treasury.
 These 22 Senators include both Republicans and Democrats. Like the agricultural bloc. they are bi- partisan organization. They include both senators from each of the fol- Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon. South Dakota and Washington, and Senators Ken driek of Wyoming, and Ladd of North Dakota. What they want par ticularly is the enactment of the bill which has been introduced in tho House by Representative Louis T McFadden, chairman of the Commit tee on Banking and Currency The bill proposes to levy an excise tax cn every ounce of. gold used in manus factures and the arts and to pay a premium on every ounce of jgold mined in the United States.
 The Treasury Department has or- posed this legiflation in the past on the theory that it constitntes bad economies. The fact is not denied that the high cost of labor, powder,

mining bloc presently will go into action to obtain the enactment of inc McFadden bill. It's arguments gre contained in the following, taken from the preamble of the resolution directed to Secretary Mellon:
 Whereas. gold is the standard of value and the basis of all credit, and its production is vitally important to the financial and commercial life of ;he nation and of the world. Fand
 Whereas, the production of gold in the United States has declined from s101.O35, 900 in 1915 to $4g.- 509. .000 in 1920, a decline in exccts of 50 per cent, due to the fact that thc price of gold is fixed by the Gov ernment, while the cost of produc- ing gold has greatly increased, and
 Whereas, the consumption of gold in manufacture and the arts increas- ed from $37820.000 in 1915 to S74,490,000 in 1919, an increase cf 100 per cent, due to the excessive demand for luxuries. and the fac that the Government has been sup plying the industrial consumers of gold with the metal at the pre-war price, and
 Whereas, the normal process oi defiation will not be sufficiently rapid to prevent the further decline in the production of gold and the wastape of developed gold ore rt- sources due to the flooding of the mines, and
 Whereas, the gold standard can not be permanently malntalnoC without gold production, and the nation is confronted today bf the prospect of heavy drain upon tho monetary gold reserve which WI .necessitate a still further curta.l- ment of credit

 %Tho McFadden bill is before the House Committee on Ways and Means. Some time ago, Chairman Fordncy submitted the measure to Secretary Mellon of the Treasury Department for an expression of his opinicn. It is understood that Sec rotary Mellon has replied in detail, but the ply will not be made pub lie until the friends of the bill in the House and the 22 senators shall hcve studied and analysed it.
 In the meantime and several weeks ago. the p senators drew up q resolution urging the Secretary in preparing his reply to give full con- alteration to the needs of the gold mining industry. The resolution pro yiaed that if the Secretary has spe- cifc rcat1ns for opposing the Me Fadend bill, he is hereby urgently requested to formulatei proposal for enrichment by Congress- First, to protect the gold mining industry from destruction, which is a serious matter irI espective of the fact that itF operation is necessary as the baGis. of cur monetary system; and gecond, in anticipation of the heavy flrosgn drain upon our gold reserve, to, provide for augmenting said re- serve from sources of domestic pro- duction and thereby lessen the need fer the luther and extensive pro curcmont of credit which otherwise would re.ult."

Baby's First ToolHHimsele.

When we begin the training Of the baby we must never forget that the first thing he should learn to usess is himself, and that his first tools should bt the God-given ones of his own body members and brain.

 3 bies always respond with pleas ure to exercises with the soles of the feet pressed against the palms of the mothers hands, and to the care ful moving of the arms up and down These simple exercises begin to diff ferentiate their members for them thus giving them early control oi their bodies.

He can climb on chairs or other objects, by which he can steady himself.
