WOULD NOT BIZ COERCED

One of the closing acts of President
Wilson's administration which reflects
special credit UPON him is mis- refusal to
be coerced by the railroad unions into
vetoing the Winslow bill permitting par
tial payments to the railroads of the
money due them under the guaranty pro-
visions of the Transportation Act.
The bill had but just passed the tisal
stage in the Senate when the heads of
the railroad unions at Chicago began tele-
graphing demands for veto. The bill
had not ling to do with the issues before
the Railroad Labor Board. Questions of
hours or wages were not involved In it.
All that made the bill odious to the
union leaders was that it would make the
conditions of railroad management tenn
porarily easier by giving the managers
money which was long overdue, and
which would make it possible for them
to meet some deferred obligations. But
that was enough for the union leaders.
Their object was to make trouble, and
they saw way of doing it by holding up
indefinitely, If they could, the money due
the roads, So they poured in their de-
mands upon the White House. They
claimed to represent hundreds of thou
sands of workers. If the retiring Pres-
dent had been disposed to cater for
certain sort of popularity, The could have
had it by refusing to sign the relief bill
which had been sent to him. But he was
not disposed to do SO; and he signed the
bill on Saturday, at the very time when
the union leaders were selecting repre-
sentatives to go i'll person to the White
House to demand veto Railway en-
ployes, though their leaders failed to
recognize it, will profit by the Presidents
refusal to be coerced, Tor large part of
the money thus released will be paid out
in wages, and the restoration to the
schedules of trains that had been cut out.

visitors here yesterday in the interest

Farms visited were those of Oliver
& Barrow in the 9th district, and
Sam P. Wise and Thomas L. Bell in
the 18th district.
At the Oliver & Barrow pasture
was shown a 15-year-old pasture,
grown naturally, without cultivation
of any kind. This pasture is filled
with lespedeza and carpet grass and
dallis grass, which provides contin-
uous grazing throughout the year.
Specimens of these grasses were
collected by Tabor. Jackson and
Winslow and displayed to the As far

Soviets To Take Stricter
Control Over Churches

RIGA, July 27.-Russian Soviet
government officials have decided to
take stricter control over the church

newspapers received here. A recent
number of the Isyestia says that ser.
mons are to be allowed only on the
condition that they are of strictly
religious character.
1t appears that the Soviet govern.
ment, while continuing to permit re.
lgious worship, is to present riva
attractions in the church buildings
in the shape of lectures on Com
munist doctrines.
