RAILROAD MANAGERS WANT
UNCLE SAM TO Save Them

is solicitous of his future will go as
far as that. The. stencil Of the bill
lion dollar guaranty that was given
to the railroads during the first six
months of resumed private operation
IS still in thes nostrils of the public.
1t was the most malodorous legisla-
tive miscarriage that has emanated
from congress in. many years. It
served merely to- empty the treas
ury Without doing anything of real.
value for the railroads. It encour-
aged a. season Of riotous expendi-
lures and diversion of funds from
the railroad treasures into locomo-
tive and car plants controlled by
railroad officials, criminal acts that
are now receiving attention from the
interstate commerce.: commission. It
is highly possible that the Offend
ing roads will be required to return
to the government large sums-ae-
gregating for the country, it is said,
nearly a billion dollars-that were un-
lawfully paid for repairs. When the
roads receive their surcharges their
financial complexities will be in
creased and they will be just that
much nearer the falling off place.
Only a miracle can save the sit
uation, and congress is not, as has
been demonstrated many times. a.
miracle worker. It has but a hazy
conception of the elements Of this
problem, having relied heretofore
upon the advice so freely given by
railroad lobbyists. Those gentlemen
exhausted their demands when the
transportation act was written and
now have nothing to suggest in the
way of amelioratives unless it be con-
tinued subsidies, and congressman
are scared stiff when that alter
native Is suggested. They are not
going to put themselves deeper in
popular disfavor if they can help it.
With all roads blocked save the
obvious and sensible one Of govern
ment ownership, congress is going to
take it willy-nilly, and that before
many months have been rolled back
on the scroll of: time.

a man named Slackle, VINO came mere
with US.
Would Take a Chance.
''Slackie wanted to take a chance.
Columbus took a. chance he said.
Well, we were broke and in a strange
city. Carlson took me to the Ideal
restaurant and bought meal ticket.
We then went to a building where we
were to begin work Monday morning.
This was Saturday. We were then
taken to the Frederic hotel.
1--WE all met Sunday and talked the
situation over and decided we would
not go to work Monday. We went
back to Harris Monday morning and
demanded that he pay our fare back
to Chicago. He refused and we ar
gued it out with him; then he called
Whalen, who tried to induce us to go
to work. When we refused to work
as strikebreakers, we were ordered
out Of the office. We then saw an
attorney who referred US to the bust
ness agent Of the Painters union.''
Story Is Substantiated.
Norman's version was substantiated
by Gray, who is an experienced auto
anu CdIA4dSt pd41ILcI. Wudien as
signed me to Leslie Code, an employ
ing painter said Gray. HE gave
me IS to tide me over until Monday
and Harris gave another man IS.
When I pressed Harris for return
fare, declaring to him that I would
not be a scab and insisting that I
should have been told in Chicago that
there was a strike here. he put the
blame on Johnson. Well we didn't
go to work. anyhow. We are still
clean.'
1t is understood that the Citizens
Alliance paid the railroad fare Of one
man back to Chicago. Gray and Nor
man returned to Chicago Wednesday.
Transportation was furnished them by
friends of union labor. Slackie is
doing odd jobs about town endeavor-
ing to earn enough to take him back
to Chicago.
The "open shop" crowd pretend to
be working in the interest of the city.
Hundreds Of home workingmen are
idle, and they are bringing in more
men, under misrepresentation. They
are making conditions worse in more
than one way. They should be
ashamed of themselves.

l suppose the secret of the Russian at
traction for American men is that she is
SO distinctly feminine. while she has as
much self-reliance as the woman of any
country. and this is demonstrated by the
hardships she has borne for the last hve
wears, she has none of the independent
spirit of the American woman. She is
distinctly a coquette and highly emo
tional and temperamentaL
l asked one married man why he had
taken the trouble to marry q woman
away off in Siberia while there were SO
many attractive American girls out here.
He said: We'll, when / go to see Sonia
have to walk about two miles and II is
a rough walk. When l get there Sonia
takes off my shoes and leggings and
hangs my blouse on the chair and gets
me a cup Of tea. and every minute am

me, and when l am sick she walks over

Then after January of this year the
transports began to evacuate the expe-

Most of the girls and 1 will say 90
per cent of them were attractive and
lovely. They were from every walk of
life There were daughters of generals of
the old regime. girls who rated titles un-
der the cars government, graduates of
some of the famous hospitals in Russia,
university graduates. school teachers, Of
fee girls and farm girls.
The Russian girl seems to have a tre-
mendous appeal to an American man.
Men who have been in France said that
they found them much more attractive
than the French girls" 1 suppose the
outstanding feature of the Russians at
traction was her marvellous devotion.

city and it was reached by a very rough
road. but every day a stream of girls
who were sweethearts of the sick or
wounded soldiers walked out and back the
entire distance Of fourteen miles to see
their invalid sweethesrts. 1t is rather
hard to fancy girl in any other nation

only person that she knew, who could
give testimonial acceptable to the army

lived twenty-five versts from the Ameri-

could get there was to walk. as there was
no railroad. Her husband at the time
was in the hospital: and had no money.
She armed herself with a half loaf of
black bread and walked to her destina-
tion and back. She looked a wreck when
she returned with her testimonial. but

Siberia. These replacements were mostly
youths and very impressionable. The at
titude of the Russian people softened
toward us and homes were being opened
to us again; then these men got ac-
quainted with the Russin girls. 1t was
not long before the wedding bells began
to ring and it is safe to say that 500
men of the 1900 replacements married
Russian women. This Is an extremely
high percentage of men in a foreign ex-
peditionary force to marry native women.
While 1 was acting as assistant director
to the Red Cross nearly all of these
couples passed through my hands in one
way or another. AS most of these wom-

the Russian homes were closed to the

Then these men heard that the drafted

they wanted to go home; they were sick

to the Philippine Islands. That meant
that the Russian war brides had to take
up residence with their husbands in the
Philippines. II meant a change in tenn
