No Railroad Strike.

There will be general rejoicing in the ma
ton over the announcement of the executive
committees of the five railroad brotherhoods
that there is to be no strike of employees on
Oct 30, as had been decreed by a vote OF the
men. While there always had been doubt
that the men would take such a drastic course
in view of unsettled conditions in the country
and the efforts that were being put forth by
all interests to get back To nOrmalcy in bust
ness and industry, the uncertainty of the sit
nation was disturbing, and in ali directions
preparations were making to meet a possible
emergency. The railroad employees will lose
nothing through the course that has been
adopted On the contrary, they will in the
long run be the gamers In the first place,
by deciding against a strike they have kept
faith with the people, a waIkout would have
been in violation of the orders of the federal
labor board, governmental agency acting for
the public and in the mutual interest of the
railroad owners and the workers AS matters
now stand the railroad employees continue at
their posts, and transportation facilities will
not be interrupted In the meantime they NAV
keep open their grievances before the federal
BOARD. and they have every reason to expect
that they win receive just and fair treatment
at the hands OF that agency
The railroads are SO essential tn thu carry
ing on of the public business that it seems the
proper course for the federal government TO
intervene In such a crisis as threatened The
government board is assumed to be composed
or men of intelligence and integrity, men whose
Only purpose Is to see that justice is done alike
\ eo'tne public, the railroads and their employees
III herefore the employees have every reason to
poeheve that their interests will be satisfac-
lorfiS SaIeguarded at the hands of the govern
nseniai board All they must do is exercise a
httie patience The public will insist upon a
square deal for the railroad employees.

White Coal.

Homesteaders. waiting for the train in the
Cour d'Alene country in northern Idaho, whiled
away the time by reading on placard on the
station wall the following short but dramatic
story:
On the Mountain division of the Milwaukee
railroad 81 electric locomotives have supplant-
ed 162 steam engines at an annual saving of
100000 tons of coal and 100000 gallons of
fuel oil With a maximum grade of 6,322 feet
a 3,2O0-ton train is hauled with comparative
ease over the Rocky, Bitter Root and Cascade
mountains"
This enormous amount of power only part
or that which is used for lighting and other
purposes in the same neighborhoOd is made
by merely taking advantage of the tumbling
of water down hill. One of the romances of
the next decade or two will be the Harvesting

river, which goes roaring and foaming through
what used to be practically inaccessible can

Back to the Old Home Town.

In recent years many cities, towns and vii
lagos have been observing autumn home
coming celebration of some kind. Inaugurated
a few years ago by few communities, the
custom has spread until now there Is no sec
ton where such events are not planned an
nualIy or at least every few years They
become family reunions on larger scale and
are featured by social gatherings, special
church services, outdoor picnics in parks or
school grounds and the score OF ways in which
old and young once associated in groups are
called together again.
To the returning pilgrim the old town may
look small, after years spent in distant lands
or cities The familiar haunts may be changed
strangers living in the old home place, the
old sycamore tree has fallen and died, the old
barn and its hay NOW has given place to
modern garage There is changeless thing
on the earth and return to the old nest after
years abroad in the world cannot be without
a tinge OF sadness.
And yet it's worth while. Not the house,
nor the tree, nor the field, nor the brook that
is revisited can alone explain the stirring of
ones soul by the Homecoming. There is some
thing deeper, more spiritual. No man or wom-
an of right makeup will turn deaf ear to the
annual coming of the old home town.
It's experience OF life that cannot fade away
