The threatened railroad strike is
looming large on the horizon, grow
ing out of the decision of the Labor
Board that sanctions a cut in wages.
The original plan for the progress
sive national strike of railroad en-
ployes, was for it to begin october
80, but this has been amended so as
to give the Eastern States at leas;
two days grace before the proposed
walkout would become effective in
this region. The first group on
which the walkouts would take
place are the Western roads.
Meanwhile an immediate slash in
freight rates is suggested as
means of averting the threatened
railroad labor strife.
Under the plan suggested by the
Public Group, the railroads would
withdraw their request for further
wage reductions until freight reduc-
tions have been completed and
pending action of the board on
such petition for further reduction
as the carriers may subsequently
submit" the unions would withdraw
the strike order.
The suggestion of the public
group for a settlement of the con-
troversy is based on one put for
ward by w. w. Atterbury, vice-pres-
ident of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
before a convention in Chicago last
Friday.
Immediate reduction in freight
rates, it is asserted, would inure to
the benefit of the railroad employees
and would constitute one OF the
statutory grounds for a further re-
duction in wages" while, through
reduction of the cost of material, it
would to that extent relieve the rail-
roads of the necessity of relying
solely upon wage cuts for reduc-
ton of their operating expenses"
''If the railroads will immediate
ly, in good faith, adopt this sugges-
tion," says the statement issued.
1.-THE situation can be cleared up.
freight rates reduced to shippers,
the cost of living reduced to the
consumers and a stimulating effect,
exerted upon all business"

I THE AMERlCANP PRESS ASSOClATlON

At the convention of the Cecil
County Sunday School Association,
held in Cecilton on Oct. IL, report OF
which is to be found elsewhere in
our columns. resolutions were pas
sed deploring the growing evil OF
gambling, demanding that Legisla-
tive candidates take their stand on
the questions of gambling, better
marriage laws, and the upholding OF
the Eighteenth Amendment. The
resolutions also urge that Prohibi-
ton Director Budnitz be removed,
and some one appointed who is in
sympathy with the law.
In regard to the demand that our
Legislative candidates make public
declaration of their stand on the
gambling, better marriage laws,
and the unfolding of the Eighteenth
Amendment, it may be noted that,
so far as we have been able to learn,
not a Legislative candidate on
either the Republican or Democratic
ticket, has seen fit to make public
expression on any of these ques-
lions, which are all of vital import
ance to the citizens Of our county.
Voters have a right to know how
those seeking election will repre-
sent them on questions tina; are sure
to come up in the Forthcoming
Legislature, but thus far, to the besi
of our knowledge, our candidates
have not seen fit to publicly an
nounce themselves. IS

All the indications are that tho
progressive West is again in the
saddle as it was in 1912. The diff
ferences within the Republican
party then are the differences within
that party now. 1t is the Old
Guard reactionary group. dominated
by predatory corporate and financial
interests, seeking only special
privileges, against the liberal and
progressive element representing
the great producing section of the
West.
OF the so Republicans in the Sem
ate 33 are from the West, and it is
therefore apparent that If the pro-
gressive West will stand together, it
can, with Democratic assistance,
change the whole trend of legisla-
ton at this session from reactionary
to progressive. Whether the Pro-
gressives will retain the advantage
they have gained will be demonstra
ted later when the Railroad Loan
bill of $500, 100000 comes up, to-
gether with the War Loan Funding
bill, and the absurd Forney Tariff
bill in the interest of the manufac-
turing class and detrimental to
agricultural interests generally; also
when the conference shall take place
on the pending Tax bill.

THE AMERICAN DISSATISFACTION
THREATENED SPLIT OVER TAX
BILL AVERTED.

The threatened split in the Re-
publican party in Congress has been
temporarily averted by the surrend-
er by the Old Guard reactionaries
to the Progressive Republicans in
the matter of amendments to the
Tax bill, out Of which the Demo
Gratis gain decisive victory by rea-
son of the fact that they first draft
ed and presented the amendments
in the Senate, which the Republican
Progressives compelled the Repub-
lican reactionaries to accept.
Senator Simmons (Dem., N. CO.,
former Chairman OF the Senate FL
nance Committee, on September 80,
presented in the Senate the Demo-
cratic amendments to the Tax bill,
the substance Of which was to re-
store certain taxes which had been
taken off corporations ana the mil
lionaire class, to prevent the repeal
of others and to repeal the transpor-
tation tax These amendments were
adopted in substance at conference
of Progressive Republicans, who
served notice on the reactionaries
that they would insist upon their
acceptance by the Senate Finance
Committee. By S to 4 vote the
reactionary Republicans OF the Sen
ate Finance Committee accepted the
amendments, which, it is generally
conceded, will improve the Tax bill
without removing all Of its iniqui-
ties.
The benefits to the average tax
payer resulting therefrom will be
due to Democratic initiative and to
Progressive Republican teamwork.

n lot OF small cabins where people camp
during the summer. | forgot TO state
that the park was situated on the bank
part. l have known a young lady
seventeen years old for two years.
All her family know me and seem to
like me. This girl came with a lot OF
other camp fire girls'D to one of these
cabins to camp for n week. But now
it turns out that the Chaperon (she
seems inhuman) won't let any of the
girls 60 to the park or any other place
whatsoever with any fellows. This girl
and both go TO boarding schools during
the school year, and as we live in differ
ent towns we don't get to see each
other much.
Now, Cynthia, I know this is quite a
long letter but had to make several
Cuse its length. What / would like YOU
to tell me is how can l impress the
Chaperon that it is all right for me to
take this girl canoeing some evening ?
! do not know the Chaperon at all. How
had I best go about 1t? p. V. 5. Il.
If the girls family know you. why
not write to her father or mother and
ask permission to take the girl canoe
ing Explain that the Chaperon will
not allow II, and ask them to write to
her giving the permission.
