MOST MEN APPEAR LOYAL

Officials Of all the railroads with

morning that they are stil without

quarters on the threatened strike of

excluding the knowledge CLEANED from
the press, there is nothing 10 indicate

officials apparently regard their plans
in such contingency much as a gen
erai in war time might consider his
outline for battle for they will divulge
nothing regarding what they propose
doing along this line other than 20
state that trains will be continued
in operation.
As far as could be learned this morn
ing the railroad unions have not az
yet been officially notified bv their
representative officials of the deci-
sion reached in Chicago to call a strike
next month. Neither have they taken
any steps TO prepare for such con-
tingency. However should the de-
cision TO go through with the strike
be continued they anticipate definite
rs to this effect within a few days
and II they are received they wiz
start 10 make their plans accordingly.

Vote Taken Some Tine Ago.

The vote Of the railroad employees
as taken sometime ago on the question
OF a strike, is not segregated. bu. it
vas understood from labor man
who IS in a position to speak authorita-
lively about the matter that the shop
men and train crews in this district
voted approximately so per cent FOR
the strike in the sixteen standard as
sociated railroad crafts. It is ,he belief
Eere that if, while the perc ntage OF
men voted not TO accept the wage
cut placed By the railroad labor board
the employees would have decided 90
continue a work without interrup-
ton if they had felt that the cut would
be final.
But they point out that the railroad
companies had gone to the railroad
labor board and announced that befJ r,
they could cut fEsight and transpor-
tation rates it would be necessary for
them to make another cut in wages
and now the men say they feel that
the time has come for show down.
However. according to the men ia the
abroad companies e. ploy here. had
the railroad companies made a cut in
the freight and transportation rates
this would have Immediately been re-
iiected in the general cost cc living
and the employees would then have
been able to get together and effect
a readjustment. They claim. Il is said.
that il the cost of living can be
brought down they would not object
to a reduction in their pay.
How the local branches OF the unions
are fixec financially for prolorged
strike could not be learned. II was
lntimated that the shop UNIONS did
not have such a strong treasury at
this particular time. but it was further
declared that should the strike be
called it would not be Of very great
duration but what this belief was
founded upon was not divulsed.

SETS OF BROTHERS
 IN BIG BOAT RACE
Will Assist One Another to Win
 Championship

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 1O.-Two sets of brothers will represent America in two of the fastest boats at the Gold Cup and Harmsworth trophy power boat races here beginning Aug. 27, and running until Sept. 5, according to uresent indications.
 The brothers will be in Miss American IT.. being built by Gar Wood predecessor, Miss America, with which he won them last year
 Gar Wood will drive the new speed craft with Jay Smith handling the engine. The first Miss America, to be entered for Gar Wood, Jr., will be piloted by Woods brother, George B. Wood, while his mechanician will be Bernard Smith, brother of Jay.
 With six American entries already indicated for the Harmsworth, to op- pose Sir Mackay Edgar's Maple Leaf VII, eliminating trials Sept 1-2, are apparently certain. Under the rules Of competition no country may enter more than three contestants in the race proper, and a lively struggle for the honor of representing the United States is in prospect.
 Besides the two Miss America, the United States entries includes Miss Chicago of the Chicago Yacht club Miss Promise of Buffalo, Miss Port land of Portland, Ore, and Disturbe r ". of Chicago.
 Miss America IT.. is rapidly nearine completion. Her keel was laid here June T. Gar Wood anticipates she will be capable of running 10 miles an hour faster than her predecessor. Which reached 79 miles an hour in the mile championship dashes last year.

A Mental Endurance Test.

THE average not fail to admire the
seriousness with which women have assumed
their new duties as citizens. The American man
has always taken his fitness for citizenship a
matter of course. The ballot has been sort Of
twenty-hrst birthday present of which all males
were worthy.
, But not so the American woman. When the
Nineteenth amendment became law, conscientious
women lay awake nights wondering if they were
intelligent enough to vote. Those who decided in
the affirmative Immediately began to think of the
needs of their fellow women who not well
prepared for the ballot. Hence the schools of cti
zenship which have been conducted by womens
organizations in all parts of the country starting
first in the smaller cities of the Middle West and
gradually penetrating the larger centers OF learn
ing until last week Yale offered week of intensive
mental feeding for women that caused mere man
to stand amazed before the mental endurance Of
the eternal feminine.
To spend six consecutive days, note book in
hand listening to three or four lectures every
twenty-four hours and all on subjects requiring the
closest attention the part of the listener, is
greater sacrifice on the altar of patriotism than most
men are willing to make. They will stand on the
sidenes in speechless admiration of this feminine
mental endurance test and perhaps question the
wisdom of making the mind cistern to receive
copious rains of facts when learning to think would
make it spring of living water. .

The writer says that 'if we want

good concerts are not so plentiful
as moving picture shows, and the
prices are rather steep, so that the
movies provide for the working
class of people a chance to hear
igh-class music on any day in the
week, at almost any hour in the

many of the thrills, laughs and

plause. But his attack on the Fed
eral administration and the capital

the effect expected.
Instead of being glad at such an
exhibition on the Democratic stage,
the opposition felt Inundated at the
shame vented in the name Of Democ-

defeat the ends they profess to

in general plan of classification Both form classes
according to, or based upon the character of the
service. These follow the usual kind of salaried
employment which are quite distinctive and are
entirely familiar, being the same as in private
business.
Supply demand, required ability, time and cost
in preparation and other factors have gradually
fixed a relative value for these kinds of service
The LehIbach and Sterling bills distinguish these
services as professional clerical institutional Gus

ton, and FIRE. Under each of these are several
grades, and salaries range through these grades
from a minimum for entrants to the maximum,
which in no case is sufficient to pay for the ability
demanded as compared to quite assured earnings
in private life. Young people of ability must have
more of financial inducement than an ultimate
$500 year to keep them in public service
The result now is that very many of the ablest
who seek the service, do so as sort of POSTCARD
