A friend Of mine stopped me IN
front OF the courthouse YESTERDAY
afternoon She was convuised
With laughter and she pointed 10
the hats of two men,
III that isn't scream she
exclaimed. A..
the same thing she saw. 1t GER
tainIy did look odd and laughaoie,
I vent on down the street and BY
the time l reached Leopolds al
least eight women we're staring at
more men as they passed. each
woman holding her mouth to keep
tho smiles inside.
On the bridge / passed four men
all m body-they talked BACK
and forth ito one another 1ovially
and as their heads turned first one
way and then another, four lovely
thread like wells trailed in the air
behind. Just behind them three
women stopped IA.
II declare" said one OF them!
"all down the street they go and
they do look SO funny" We all
laughed some more right heartily
Are you wondering what in the
name OF sense was wrong with
those men or did you happen to
SEQ for yourself those long *aver-
ing cobWebs trailing from every
mans hat out behind like wedding
wells?

case when one tries to serve two
masters he succeeds in pleasing
neither. The board has also lost
standing by not giving prompt and
clear-cut decisions. Nobody likes
wobblors. Really thu Is a pity. be-
cause the members are conscten'
tIous men and there should be a
railroad labor board. All new or.
ganiZations make mistakes at the
beginning OF their work. believe
that IL this board Is allowed to
continue, it will learn from exper-
ience and do better every year.
"Qrdiuarlly railroad strike such
as iS now .threatened--would be a
very had thing for security hold
ers, but such should not be the case
today, for several reasons.
/. The union leaders state that
no strike. will be called sunless it
Is general strike"--that lie. ono
group such AS the trainmen, or the
Shopmen, will not strike unless all
groups including the locomotive en-.
gineers strike simultaneously. Now
II there is one thing that labor his
tory has demonstrated conclusive
~, 1t is that general strikes always
fail.
2. The railroad presidents and
their other officials have about ex-
hauSted their patience. Some OF
these look upon q strike at this
time as distinct boom TO the rail-
road industry. They say: I'VE have
got TO have n showdown some time
and there never could be a betteI
time than right now before bust
ness resumes"
3. The railroad employees by
striking now would not have the
sympathy of the public. The public
has made UP its mind that there
should be a liquidation In wages as
we'll as IN materials and everything
else. Tho public knows that gen.
eral prices have fallen 30 per cent
to so per cent and the cost Of liV.
Ing is on the decline. They believe
that a cut Of ~ 1.2 per cent Is
reasonable.
"Of course II such n threatened
strike is carried ont there will be
a break in railroad securities, but
II Will De only temporary anu u
should afford great opportunity
to make attractive purchases Of
certain railroad securities. Railroad
employees themselves would show
good Judgment in buying at such
a time. The railroads have turned
corner and an attempt to pull off
general strike may be just the
thing needed to give the railroads
good boost on tho road to pros
perity.
Meanwhile. general business
shows gradual but steady improve
ment. It now stands at SIS points
below normal composed with 72.5
points below last week--an i'm
provement OF rs points in as many
days.

Expert Gives Views On
General Situation At
Present

Speaking Of the railroad condt-
EonS at this time, Roger Babson,
expert, declares:
ut is hard to believe that there
wiz be a general railroad strike.
on the other hand, 1t was hard to
believe that the railroad union
blenders would put the question to
vote or that the employees would
vote to strike when the question
was put on the ballot. Both Of
these improbabilities have come to
baSg. The union leaders called for
aVote and the employees have vot-
ed overwhelmingly to strike. The
result Of this vote is very signif.
Acant because 1t probably would
have been different vote II anoth-
Yer nigh sign" had been passed
about, It IS always possible to tell
tin advance; or from talking with
the men, what the result Of a strike
vote viii be. Before voting, most
men ask, what result is wanted?
