frst, which is the power of public

GIVE BOTH SIDES

The first step is to give both the rail
reads and the brotherhoods an oppor-
tunity to change their attitude. That is
the purpose of calling the brotherhoods
before the labor board in Chicago Thurs
day. The railway executives also will
be given an opportunity to state once
again whether they will remain obdurate
against a rate reduction. They also may
be summoned before the board.

Fathers house. Truly, he has achieved
his life's desire. Let me die the death Of
