into uncertain mining enterprises usually
expect to realize large returns. You
might say they play for high stakes. They

There VIII Be No Strike

Interest here naturally centered on the
activities Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, as the agency in Washington
most likely to act in bringing about the
removal Of the strike menace. Although
no official indication has been given Of
the intention of the commission, there is
excellent evidence that commodity rate
reductions, probably upon grain, some
other foodstuffs, lumber and possibly
COAL, will be announced shortly. April
cation for cuts on these commodities nave
been presented and argued before the
commission and decision on the cases
will be hurried to meet the Governmental
plan for bringing about rate reductions
commensurate with the wage reductions
of July l, last.
The lack of excitement in the Capital
and the failure of the strike threat to
cause any furry of preparations shows
existence of confidence that the strike

WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.-The Govern

railroad strike has developed into a wait

of President Harding and members OF

means of effecting a settlement
With the President out of Washington,
Government officials were silent as to the

Every locality has its peculiarities as

that stamps people from those dis

pronouncing "ow.' as though it were
"aow." making the expression
"daown tawon" for instance, rather
unpleasant in sound. In the south.
the voice is usually soft and sweet,
