All Least, That Is Likelihood,
Based On Warning Printed
On Ballot

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-If the pres
ent railway controversy should Ie&C
to strike, the railway employees OF
the country would probably not be
paid any strike benefits out of THEN
union treasures.
This is forecast by paragraph in
tht printed document, with strike
referendum ballot attached, which
was sent out August 20, 1921, to rail
road union members.
This document was issued jointly
by the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Enginemen, Order
of Railway Conductors, and the
Switchmen's Union of NORTH
America.
The paragraph reads: "If as re
suit of the votes of our members
and later failure to effect settlement
it should be necessary to authorize
a strike, the attention of our mem
bers is called to the fact that under
the intent of the laws of these or,
ganizations strike benefits arc not
paid in connection with general
wage movement"

NO PAY BENEFITS IF
RAILWAY MEN STRIKE

Railroad union leaders, while de
clining to be quoted, are understood
to be opposed t. i railrrl1 strike.
But railroad employees have votet
for a strike by the four brotner
foods, it appears. as their tal,otg are
counted in Chicago.
The Railroad Lab r 8bard, in q
aeclsjon handed dowA Jlne /, 1921,
Authorized all average en- Of about
j" Pel cent in railroad wages,
he board, in its decision, pointed
out that, during government control,
the wages of railroad workers rose
from an average of $78 month to
an average of $141 a month when
the wage increase of July, 1920
went into effect.
The IL per cent, according. to the
board, meant ian average monthly
salary of about 1925 for all EN-
ployes, but such an average means
Of course, that while some workers
would earn a sum considerably in
excess of this, many thousands of
workers would fall short of that
figure"
Other questions then arose. The
railroad brotherhoods, after can.
Vass of railroad executives, reported
Operating officers of railroads in
the east, west, southeast and south
west appear to have declined to
agree that the wage reductions shall
be withdrawn; that the abrogation
of time and one-half for overtime
will not be pressed; that further re-
ductions will not be requested: and,
that radical, schedule revision will
not be requested by the railroads"
Those who have kept close tab
believe that the railway employees
might be willing to take the wage
reduction if it were not for other
things involved especially matters
relating to working conditions and
the fear that further wage cuts i'm
pend in the minds of railroad execu-
tives of the country.
A separate issue, but one about
which railroad strife way soon re
volve, is the Pennsylvania railroads

SENATE LEADERS
GRATIFIED AT NEWS.

+ WASHINGTON, Sept. 30--Repub-
lican leaders of the Senate expressed
qualification today at the prompt
ratification by the German ReiQhstag
of the peace treaty with Germany.
81 am glad the German govern
ment has acted so promptly" said
Senator Lodge, the Republican floor
leader.
The only address in the Senate on
the treaties yesterday was by Sena-
tor Watson, Democrat, Georgia, who
opposed ratification because, he said,
he believed they would drag the
United States into the league of ma
tons and European entanglements.
Ever since President Harding's inau-
guration, Senator Watson declared,
the nation has been drifting irre-
sistibly' into the league.
He also contended that the treat
les failed to provide for release of
American citizens who had violated
the espionage laws. Referring, APP
parently, to Eugene V. Debs, he said
maR was serving a ten-year sem
tence in the Atlanta penitentiary for
repeating his (Watson's) words.
Because he repeated part of u
speech ! made" said Senator Wat
son, "that eonscription was uncon-
stitutional,. shouldn't he be in the
Senate, and in the penitentiary? He
did not say thing more~than have
said here in the Senate, and ! think
I'm in better company than he is.
That is my opinion"
Ratification of the treaty by the
! Reichstag now puts the closing of the
pact up to the United States Senate.

YOU AND |

DISEASE, If WE. GUARD
GENERAL HEALTH. OUR
DEFENSE AGAINST GERMS

TUBERCULOSIS death rate is
high. But you wonder why it
doesn't swiftly exterminate its hu-
mans, when you learn that nearly
every one at some time or other be-
comes infected with the tuberculosis
germ. That information comes from
the mediacl research organization of
the Knights of Columbus.
The reason most of US shake off
the tuberculosis germ is because the
average body normally has the power
to kill invading diseases.
The great danger to health is not
disease germs, but in allowing the
body, the general health, to grow
weak and lose its defensive powers
Are you keeping your body healthy
by fresh air, exercise and proper
food? If so, don't worry about
germs. If not, select your doctor.

Rathenau, German business giant

Germany cannot manufacture gold
but she can manufacture enough

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

During the lenten season fish and
eggs figure prominently in the
menus of many housekeepers. These
foods are nourishing and easy of
digestion but nevertheless create a
bit of a problem when II comes to
keeping a balanced diet. To so many
minds they seem like light eating
that in the effort to supply plenty
of food too much protein is allowed
in the diet. Fresh vegetables, fresh
and dried fruits. and coarse cereals
should all be included in an egg or
fish menu
Menu for Tomorrow
Breakfast-Stewed prunes, fried
bread, strip, coffee.
Luncheon-Corn fritters, strip.
orange salad. cheese straws. tea.
Dinner-Broiled .halibut steak,

This should be a lucky day. &C
cording to astrology. Venus. Nep-
tune. Jupiter and Mercury are all in
benefic aspect.
1t is a most fortunate day for low
ers, young and old. Those who have
chosen this as a wedding day should
prosper exceedingly and should
store much happiness as well as
wealth.
There is a better outlook for all
who deal in women's clothing. Inn
porters should be especially prosper
Gus in the early spring.
Luxury will be sought even more
than ever by men and women, If as
trologers read the signs Alright.
Judges and all who frequent
courts are subject to q rule that in
dicates much stress of work.
Mercury is in a place p~ersistently
interpreted as foreshadowing great
demand for publicity and increase
of propaganda. New organizations
controlling large funds n welding
immense influence are prognosticat-
ed.
Excitement over new oil fields will
cause prosperity in certain quarters
early in the spring.
The planetary direction Is 1avor-
able for keenness of observation and
great activity of mind.
Common sense will prevail in
many quarters where it has seemed
to be lacking. The star that gives
this promise is believed to encour-
age saner fashions in dress as well
as thought.
Tires have been predicted many
times by astrologers who again de-
clare that increase of incendiarism
is presaged. Public buildings are
menaced.
Persons whose birthdate it Is may
expect a prosperous year. but they
must be industrious. The young will
court and marry.
Children born on this day may be
inclined to be care-free and frivo-
lous. These subjects of Aquarius
usually are talented, but are inclined
to change their minds frequently.
