THE o

Back in the halcyon days Of 1915" says the
Philadelphia Ledger, ian order emanated from the
offices of the director general of railroads that dur.
ing the period of government control railroads were
''to allow employees one hour extra pay each week
for punching the clock, regardless of the hours ac-
tually worked" All this was made under the cele,
brated national agreements and during the first sa
months Of 1920; this cost the railways S6,445, $751;!
"For punching a clock once each week NEARLY So
500,0 600 passed from the railway strong boxes into
employees pockets. No pretense was made that any
work was. done for this money. 1t was given to EN-
ployes because they wanted it, the labor unions asked
for it and the director general was a most complais-
ant soul.
"This deserves to stand with that other classic of
the McAdoo days-those raw Italian laborers who
were 'reclassihed' as machinists and paid sac a week
for inspecting engine fronts. There were many and
various like these.
W are just beginning to get light on the won.
ders that were worked in the regime of the first d.
rector general of the railroads. What a wonder that
man was! What miracles he worked in turning com
mon labor into highly paid, high-class, well-trained
and finished products! Never forgetting for a mo.
ment the high pay.
What magic there was in having everybody give
one little punch to a time-clock and then straightway
behold the results Of a full hours work come forth
There is some kind of genius and wizardry in what
that man did for and did to the railways of these
United States.
There are a great many people who would like to
know who drafted the orders that came out of the d.
rector generals office in those halcyon days"

Editor Tribune: Now is the time
for all good men who love Wyoming
TO get their friends together and send
good strong kilograms to Frank Mon
dell 10 push the Phipps bill through
congress with an possible dispatch.
Hearings on the Townsend and Phipps
bills are concluded and n looks as
thdIgh both bills were scheduled for
appearance within the next few days.
II may. however. be several days be.
fore they pass. in the meantime wyo-
ming may be seriously handicapped
unless the Phipps bill. which has al
ready passed h senate. Is reported
and passed by the house. 1 urge
every man who wants good roads in
Wyoming to wire Mr.. Mondell urging
him To give the Phipps bill immediate
clearance. The Townsend bill carries
an appropriation a tive hundred NIL
lion dollars available in the next two
years. and the Phipps bill makes 1t
possible for Wyoming and the Rocky
Mountain states to get federal aid
through this bill. not OF dollar for
dollar as we ave been getting 81 fed
erai aid. but of from three to five
dollars OF federal aid for every dollar
that we have to put up. That
millions OF dollars for Wyoming, and
Wyoming must get busy and tele-
graph Congressman Mondell to help
us get that bill through Immediately.
This is an emergency that cals for
immediate N positive action, and /
hope every man who reads this will
o only wire Mondell himself. but
will get all AZ his friends 10 do the
same thing. Do not be misied by the
assertion of persons who are favoring
stiil another bill known as the Dowell
bill. which is a purely political bill
that hat is what we want for It is
not. II would not give Wyoming one
dollar and we must have money. The
state highway commission have wired
Mondeii IN support OF the two bills we
want. n ] ask you one and all to
wire him TO support the Phipps bill.
Under II we might get from six to
ten million dollars of federal aie
money to match the one million eight
hundred thousand dollar bond issue
which we voted last month. whereas.
we can now get only one million two
hundred thousand. Which do we
want? / say Inc / know you will
say so top. we want the big money
FOR Wyoming. So wire Mondell.

THE TYPICAL AMERICAN.

President Walter Dill Scott of Northwestern uni
versity, says that the typical American Is more often
the descendant of steerage passengers than of the
Pilgrim Fathers.
The Pilgrim Fathers had nothing much on the
storage passengers who came later. We don't hear
so much about the ideals of the steerage passengers
as we have heard about the Mayflower excursionists,
but We are sure their ambitions in many cases were
fully as high So FAR as we may be certain each
sought the privilege to worship God in his own fash
ion and to make a living. The Pilgrims were the pio-
neers and paved the way to American citizenship,
those who missed the first boat came along later fell
into step and became equally as good American citi-
zens. The aspirations OF both were identical
The early arrivals and their descendants and the
later arrivals and their descendants have made quite
q country out of the United States of America and
they are still making improvements.
The melting pot has turned out some wonderful
people. And the product has but lately journeyed
back to the old home places to quiet a disturbance
among their former people who had different ideals.
And who was it that went across and put down the
war. Strictly speaking it was not the Mayiower de-

made Up of Irish. Italians, Greeks and all other Eu-
ropean nationaiities- New York did not send her Hol-
land Dutch The names of her fighters read like a
combination European directory. Ohio did not pro-
vide her descendants from her New England stock.
the roster could easily be mistaken for n section of
the kaisers own fighting forces And so on through
out the other states They were all Americans All
devoted to American institutions But the reason
they all went was because of the undying ideals of the
old boys who made the port of Plymouth on an event
full winter day.
These things and a Thousand others are why the
immigration problem Of America is a difficult one.

Heavens, but our American miIlionaires are a rest.
less lott Particularly in their marital affairs are they
unsettled We have been having a continuous per-
Torrance for a year or more in which the names ~
the elders or the young people of our wealthiest
families figure in newspaper columns and court pro-
ceedings, embellished with scandal and immortality
that makes the underworld seem rather pious and cir
cumspect.
Sometimes we have had as many as three or four
OF these public ~washings of soiled family linen in
operation at the same time. It has not been a pro-
ceeding to inspire pride in the great respectable ele-
ment of our population and the example it has set
has been most damaging.
