FREE HAND FOR
PRESIDENT IN
CALL TO DISARM
Favored by House For
eign Affairs Commit
tee in Report
Porter Resolution Would Give
President Power to Pursue
Own Course In Calling To-
gether Nations On Disarma-
ment

Washington, June 6-By a vote of
IA to l, with two Democrats voting
present, the House foreign affairs
committee reported today a joint re-
solution which would give Pres. Hard
ing the master hand in calling an in
ternational conference on disarma-
ment
Rejecting the same resolution it ap-
proved year ago, the committee
"concurred in the declared purpose"
of the president to call such a confer
ence and sent its new measure to the
House as a virtual suggestion to con-
ferees on the naval appropriation bill
that it be accepted as a substitute for
the Borah amendment authorizing
and requesting the president to call a
naval disarmament conference Of
Great Britain, Japan and the United
States.
1t had been expected that the bill
would go to conference today but the
motion, which will have the right Of
way by special rule, was held up I'M
til tomorrow.
Republican committeeman with only
one absentee, stood together solidly
on the resolution prepared by Chair
man Porter. The whole question of
disarmament, both naval and military
had been placed before the committee
for its consideration.
Taking up the Brooks resolution
from the last congress, reported, but
never acted on by the House, Rep.
Flood. Virginia, ranking Democrat,
foughta to have it adopted again, but
found no Republican support. 1t
would authorize and request the pres
ident to ask all the powers to send
delegates to disarmament conven-
ton. Chairman Porter. in opposing it,
explained that the purpose was to get
away from any suggestion or direc-
ton by congress and leave the presi-
dent free to pursue such course as he
deemed best, in view of the an
nounced intention in his inaugural
address that he was ready to cooper
ate with other nations for disarma-
ment
1t is understood that most Demo-
Gratis will vote against the Porter
peace resolution when it is called up
Thursday.

Would Cut Overtime

Extra pay for overtime and uni
form wages for the same classes Of
railroad employees over the entire
country were denounced and their
abolition demanded by the railroad
representatives appearing before the
United States Railroad Labor Board
today. About IT'S roads appeared oo-
fore the board in the second wage re-
duction drive this spring, by which
the roads are attempting to cut their
labor bill.
Over the objection of w. S. Carter,
head of the enginemen and gremen,
John G.. Walber, representing the
eastern railroads, asked for SubStiru-
ton of pro-rata payment instead OF
time and one-half. the present rate.
tJr overtime in freight and yard
service. Mr. Carter declared such a
proposition was matter of rules
rather than wages and had no pla &c
in the resent hearing. Mr.. Walber,
howeyerfi insisted that time and one
half was injected into the wage sche-
dulles as a pay increase measure"
and the railroads felt that it should
receive attention now.
The standardization Of wages for
all classes of railroad employees
which disregards local conditions is Il
serious violation of economic laws"
Mr. Walber continued. Continuation
OF such a policy would be in violation
CT the transportation act. In any cir
cumstances, the largest area to be
considered by the labor board in de-
termining wage scales hould be the
rate regions as established by the In
tcrstate Commerce Commission"
He declared that changing costs Of
living and wage scales would soon re-
Quire still further erduction in wages.
Taking up the eastern roads first,
he presented brief statements on be-
half of the Ann Arbor, Bangor &
Aroostook. Baltimore & Ohio. Boston
& Albany. Buffalo G. Susquehanna.
Central of New Jersey, Bessemer and
Lake Erie, Buffalo, Rochester & Pitts
burgh and Central Vermont, which
asked that the wage increases
granted by the board in July, 1920 be
wiped out and that overtime in many
classes be paid on a pro-rata basic.

BETTER HEALTH.

One week is q short period to take aa an indication of the condition of health throughout the state. but it helps some." It is. therefore, inter estinG and encouraging to nota that the number of cases of courageous diseases in the state decreased last week as compared with the number for the previous week. Whooping cough was the only exception to the rule.
 Real Spring is not here. But there has been plenty of sunlight and there has been a marked change in the mental condition of people.
 Both sunlight and a more optimistic view Of things are the best remedies in the world as far as general health goes. It may be q coincidence or it may not. but the fact that there was no decrease in the number of new cases Of whooping cough tends to prove tho suggestion that condition health.
 whoopinE cough is usually dis case of children. Children are less affected fn9nta1ly by economic condi- tions than are adults. The fact that thero was no improvement in the health situation in thia child's dis ease. while there was improvement in the health condition of adults at d time when optimism was more pre- valent than formerly. tends to show that optimism does bring better hsalth condition&
 Physicians are thorough believers in this theory. Mental Headers and people of similar practices think that the mind governs everything pertain ing to the body. One is not prepared to assert that the latter are correct in their doctrines. but one may say with safety that the more hopeful one is. the more disinclined one is to al- low slightly disagreeable physical feeling to affect one. the better one Is apt to feel and the more likely it will he that there will come no further development of the rrst symptoms ot sickness.

many outside of the manufacturers circle who mourn the loss of Mr. Peck as sincerely as did his asso- ciates. even though they did not make the trip to Newtown to give public exposition of their grief.
 The deceased had disposition which is granted to few men. Quiet ly and unobtrusively he went about his predestined path. with which pre- destination his own ideals had much to do. He was a friend of all men most particularly those who found faculties. He preferred always to give rather than receive, going far out of his way to make life pleasant CT for one of his employees, or one whom he met upon the street and who seemed in need of counsel or aid. People miss such an individual in these times of seIfishness and greed.
 His traits of character aided in making him a great success in bus the value of the Golden Rule. Pos sessed of a sharp and keen mind, which aided him much in getting to the bottom of business difficulties, imbued with the desire to do, and being a willing friend to all men, he had the qualifications which carry men far in the different phases of the complicated modegn life.

TELLING FOLKS GOODBYE.

When railroad trains or steamers,
 leave
 Upon their scheduled way I sometimes see the people greive
 At parting, day by day I hear the heave of heavy heart, The smothered sob and cry, And know that anguish plays it's part In telling folks goodbye. A gentle mother sees her boy
 Go out where hopes are hurled. ., Her tear-drops drown the greatest joy That flowers in the world. At times. no bell in funeral toll Can dim the human eye .... Like this that wracks . the human A-telling folks goodbye We come and go upon the stage,
 Each with part to play. The entrance, Youth; the exit. Age; The action. dull or gay; And. whether star or dancing clown, Of station low or high, The role that casts all eye-lids down Is telling folks goodbye Out on some scented sunny shore
 Where shadows never stray, Where. in that Eden. nevermore
 The night shall follow day, There must be balm for mental blow, Surcease from sorrows sigh; An end to loved-ones' widest woe A-telling folks good bye.
