John, for Once, Thought Of an Effeo-
tive Comeback" during Little
Matrimonial Tiff.

Judge Gary of the United States
Steel corporation was discussing mar
riage.
Many marriage which began as q
pure love match" he said, develops
into an eternal wrangIe. Haven't you
seen marriages wherein the contract
ing parties do nothing but argue and
fight and contradict each other over
triffes from daylight until dark?
II remember dining once with such
menage. When the soup came on
they started an argument about the
price of parlor carpet or some such
ridiculous matter and the serving Of
the fruit saw this argument at its
height.
''Then the wife interrupted herself
to say to her husband plaintively:
"T don't know what would happen,
John, if you ever agreed with me on
any topic
"Td be wrong said John. I'D be
wrong"

new RAILROAD RULE
WILL Be ENFORCED
Presidential Veto Placed On
Amendment Affecting
Carriers.

WashingtOn.-Pre Wilson We
tOed Tuesday the joint resolution de-
signed to suspend section Of the
Clayton act, prohibiting common car
riers from dealing with any concern
having interlocking directories with
the carrier except to limited extent
as to contracts.
The measure vetoed was senate bill
No. 1926, amending section sol of the
transportation act by extending the
effective date of section 10 Of the
Clayton act. The history Of the Clay
ton bill as given in the presidents
message reveals that the act became
law on October Is, 1914, and it was
provided that section 10 should not
become effective until two years af-
ter that date, in order that the car
riers and others affected might be
able to adjust their affairs so that
no inconvenience or confusion might
result.
Further extension Of time, amount
ing in all to more than four years,
and two months, have since been
made. These were in part due to the
institution Of federal control, but 10
months have now elapsed since the re.
sumption of private operation. In all,
over six years have elapsed since this
enactment was put upon the statute
books, so that all interests concerned
have had long and ample notice Of the
obligations it imposes"
In his message returning the reject
ed bill, the president mentioned,
among reasons for his veto, the opin-
ion that business waits for laws,
which will effectually prohibit and
prevent such interlockings of the per-
sonnet of the directorates of great
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and railroads, in
dustrial. commercial and public serV-
ice bodies-as in effect result in max
ing those who borrow and those who
lend practically one and the same;
those who sell and those who buy but
the same persons trading with one an
other under different names, and in
different combinations, and those who
affect to compete in fact partners and
masters of some whole field Of bust
ness
"The grounds upon which further
extension of time for the enforcement
of the bill is asked, in addition to the
six years and more that have already
elapsed have been stated as follows;
81. That the carrying into effect of
the existing provisions of section 10
will result IN needless expenditures
on the part of carriers in many in
stances.
"2. That some of its provisions are
unavoidable, and that the changed stat
US of the carriers and the enactment
of the transportation act require a re-
vision of section 10 in order to make
1t consistent with provisions of the
transportation act.
"3. When 1t Is considered that the
congress is now in session and can
readily adopt suitable amendments If
they shall be found to be necessary,
such reasons for further delay appear
to me to be inadequate The sound
ness of the principle embodied in Sec
ton 10 appears to be generally admit
ted. The wholesome effects which
its application was intended to pro-
duce should no longer be withheld
from the public and from the common
carriers immediately concerned, for
whose protection 1t was particularly
designed.

lection of workmen's accident COM
pensation law.
The mileage of federal aid roads
which have been built or are now un-
der construction is nearly sufficient
to encircle the globe.
Two thousand workmen employed in
the paper mills owned by Lord North
cliffe at Grand Falls, Newfoundland,
have reached an agreement with their
employers and returned to work The

Twenty-three Erie shOpmen were
dismissed at Port Jervis, N. Y, be-
cause they would not work on Sunday.
1t is understood that similar action

fused to work on that day:
Workers on virtually all New York

most.

The general strike on Mexican rail-

ing that an adjustment will be made
later.
A ten-cent hourly reduction in the

MINERS OPPOSE
ANY WAGE CUT
President Lewis Makes Plain
Statement OF Unions
Attitude.
CONVENTION OPENS SEPT. 20
Wage Agreements of Both Anthracite
and 6ituminous Workers Expire
March 81, 1s22-Nationalization
of Mines May Be Considered.

Expiration Of wage agreements OF
both anthracite and bituminous min
ers at the same time, March 81, 1922,
gives added weight to wage demands
TO be made at the biennial convention
OF the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea which opens at Indianapolis Sep
tenGper 70.
This simultaneous conclusion of
agreements puts the organized miners
in the best position in years to sup
port each other In their demands. The
miners will not permit any wage re-
duction, according TO John l.. Lewis,
international president.
1t has been the custom of the an
thracite miners to frame their wage
demands and have them adopted by
rri-distrct convention, comprising the
three anthracite districts, after which
they were reported to the unions ma
tional convention for approval. This
year, however, the procedure is re-
versed. Anthracite delegates to the
national convention will prepare their
demands for approval by the national
body and the tri-district convention
tor ratitcation will be held afterward.
In this manner, 1t is pointed out, any
general policy with reference to wages
that may be adopted by the national
convention will govern the miners in
their negotiations in the anthracite re-
gion as well as in the bituminous coal
fields of the country.
Naturalization of mines and adop-
tion of the six-hour day and tye-day
week also will be before the conven-
tion. These matters were favorably
reported on at the unions convention
in Cleveland two years ago.
