announcement by the Railroad
Labor Board that 1t would not be in a
position TO give consideration TO any
questions that would change rules or
present wage scales for a considerable
length Of time was one of the princi-
pal reasons given as influencing the
strike, scheduled for October 80. ac-
cording to a resolution adopted by the
unions and made public here to-day.
The resolution calls attention to the
the Joint union and board meeting on
Wednesday that the railroads he rep
resented neither would reduce wages
nor change working conditions except
by agreement with their men or by a
decision of the Labor Board.
The resolution then states that the
brotherhoods interpret the statements
made before the meeting to mean that
the shorts line roads would restore
wages and working conditions in ac-
cordance with the rulings Of the Labor
Board.
The resolution then carried the memo
randum adopted by the Labor Board
pointing out that conditions now exist
ing before the board should remove any
immediate occasion for strife.
Important Belated Point.
This memorandum was submitted to
the railroad executives here, but was
not brought before the railroad brother
hoods until yesterday, when Ben We
Hooper conferred with union leaders.
The resolution then says:
1--WE interpret the foregoing memo
randum TO mean a number of important
things to the membership of our organ
izations. Among these things we men,
ton:
First. 1t is evident that the board has
adopted a policy under which IL will
not be in a position to give considera-
ton to any application affecting the
wages of transportation employees for
a considerable length of time.
Second that IL does not purpose to
take any action on wage applications af-
fectlng any class of employees until IL
Is definitely known what working con-
ditions apply.
Third, that the train and engine SER
vice employees will be given full consld-
GRAFTON in view OF the hazard. RESPONSE
billtes and other conditions peculiar to
their employment"
The resolution then notes the crowded
condition OF the Labor Board docket and
the failure Of the carriers and their
employees to organize voluntary adjust
ment boards. whose work would prevent
numerous cases coming UP TO the board.
1--WE construe this to mean that the
Labor Board will lend it's support TO the
organizations in their efforts to induce
the carriers to organize speedily such
adjustment boards the resolution goes
on.

would require approximately year

Judge Ross briefly sketched the

deat Abraham Lincoln, Feb. "a, 1858,
Until the present time. He told OF
the converting of the first supreme

reported in the court the following
year, when Davis opposed Simmons

Sums Up Courts Work
In summing up the work uone by
the supreme court in Arizona, Judge
Ross estimated that approximately
2453 cases, crimina. and civil have
been tried and called attention to the
fact that with the exception OF the
supreme court of Wyoming the higf
tribunal of this state was operated
at the lowest cost of any similar
court in the United States. The

speaker estimated that the per capita
cost of operating the supreme court
of Arizona was 1-3 cents, while the
superior court of the state is only
costing 1-3 cents.
Among the differentiating features
of the Arizona supreme court Judge
Ross called attention to the fact that
its personnel includes the only femin-

court in the United States and is the
only state supreme court to eliminate

BITTER FIGHT FOR ESTATE OF
INDIAN CHIEF, OIL MILLIONAIRE,
is BEING WAGED IN OKLAHOMA

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Nov. H. Jack
son Barnett is the richest Indian in
the United States.
That is why a fight, which has
thrown the courts of two counties
and federal officials into turmoil, is
being staged.
At present the chief lives, almost
out in the open, in Okmulgee county.
He has no use for white mans fads
and fancies, but much prefers the
great outdoors.
His home is a four-room shack
and he's satisfied with it.
All this in spite of the fact that
millions upon millions of dollars
literally rolled into\ him when great
oil gushers were discovered on his
land some years ago. No one seems
TO know just what he is worth of
Liberty Bonds alone.
1t is an Indian theory that mans
wealth should be disposed of before
he dies-after his relatives are prop
erly cared for.
That's where the big fight comes
in.
Barnett with the approval of officials
has ;.iready given 100000 to Bacone
University, a Northern Baptist school
at Muskogee, and q quarter of mill
ion for an institution for sick Indians.
Following these gifts, it was an
nounced that Barnett and his fam
lily were to be removed rom Okmul-
gee county to the town of Muskogee,
in Muskogee county. He was to have
a $4,000 residence to take the place
of his backwoods shack.
And Okmulgee county let out
howl
County Judge Hugh Murphy, OF
Okmulgee, says he Will not consent
to the removal of Barnett's estate.
While the fight hangs. as yet UNI
decided, Barnett's guardiha nac pc
titioned the county court in Okmul-
gee county flor permission to use
$4,000 in building Barnett a home
in Okmulgee county and purchasing
adjoining land to establish pony
ranch.
Barnett,s white wife. with whom
he eloped some time ago, and his
stepdaughter, have tired of the open
life. They are in favor of moving to
Muskogee, in Muskogee county.

That Changed The Views
OF Martyred President
BY DR.. WIN. e. BARTON
Author, "The Soul of Abraham Lin
coin" "The Paternity of Alb
raham Lincoln" Etc.

OAK PARK, H., Nov. ~. - There
lies before me, as | write, the book
that changed the religious thinking
of Abraham Lincoln.
1t is THE Christians Defense" by
James Smith, published in Cincinnati
in lS43. | found this book after a
long and systematic search through
secondhand shops and the attics of
Libraries, colleges and theological
schools from New England to Missfs-
sippi.
The story connected with this book
had its start back in 1850, when Ed
win Baker Lincoln, second son of Alb
raham and Mary Lincoln, died at
Springfield, Ill.
Lincoln Reads the Book
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. James Smith, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, in the alb
sence of Rev. Charles Dresser, OF
the Episcopal church, or which Mrs.
Lincoln was a member.
Shortly after, Lincoln, visiting in
Lexington, KY, picked up thick
leather-bound volume called The
Christians Defense" He noted that
it was written by the Springfield
minister who had so recently come
into his home.
On his return to Springfield Lin
coin borrowed copy of the book
from the author, and became deeply
interested in it.
1t was the outgrowth OF religious
debate between Rev. Smith and an
infidel named Olmstead, at Columbus
Miss. DR.. Smith was a Scotehman
who had been a deist. When he was
challenged to this debate he took rs
months to prepare for IT.
Arguments, UnanswerapIe
He quoted from voIney's Ruins
and Paine's age of Reason" and
showed himself thoroughly familiar
| with the literature of the opponents
| OF the Christian religion, and ther
| brought in mis- refutaiion.
Lincoln, in his early manhood, 'ha(
| read Paine and Volney and had beer
| impressed by their teachings. He hat
| never heard their arguments refuteC
! in this manner. He returned the
book to DIR. Smith VITA the state
ment that he considered his argumen
''unanswerable."
1t is remarkable that all KnowI

| Springfield. The fact that there wa
such a book came out in connection
with the Lincoln Centennial celebra

ST. PAUL, MIMI, Nov Fran
ces Cornell, burlesque actress, felt
the Blue Laws were unfair.
So she challenged the pastor of the
Peoples church to let her present
her side from his pulpit. The pastor
did so.
Frances, dressed in a neatly tailored
suit, walked up before a jammed
church and said:
You all want everybody to refrain
from doing what you do not want
them to do, but each of you want to
do as you please. The Blue Law
fanatic is no more and no less than a
hypocrite."

the Japanese delegation comes to the
Arms Conference with it's interest
conferred primarily in an international
agreement to limit naval construction.
it also has very special interest in
all problems affecting the Pacific
Ocean and Far East
Japap has always held to the theo-
ry, according to the prevailing opin-
ion in the Far East, that her geogra-
phical position in that part of the
world, that the fact that she is the
leading Oriental power and that her
growing necessity of meeting the re-
quirements of population increasing
at the rate of 100000 yearly, all en-
title her to a privileged position in
the Far East. 1t would, perhaps. be
more exact to say that she feels she
is entitled to predominating position
more especially with reference to
China.
China remains for Japan as her
great problem. The Japanese them
selves have been divided to the point
of internal controversy as how best
to direct their policy towards their
Chinese neighbors.
