II railroad workers agree to
return, submitting to arbitra-
ton, provided their seniority
rights are preserved, and If the
railroads refuse that arrange
ment, some remarks to them
from the President will be in
order. t...
Railroad workers seniority
rights are as important to
them as the locomotives, tracks,
and railroad stations to rail-
road owners.
II workers say to railroads,
We shall burn your buildings,
blow up your locomotives" that
is called sabotage, for it's de-
stroying property in which own
ers have invested their dollars.
It's just as much sabotage to
threaten men with destruction
OF their seniority rights, for
those rights ARE PROPERTY
In which the workmen have in
vested their energies, their lives
and their hopes.
Pietro Nunziata, robbed, then
murdered, Prof. Kotkov, of the
Jewish Theological Seminary.
Saito Taizo murdered his
roommate, also Japanese, to
get his morey.
Both were in Sing Sings
death house. Both were killed
by electricity night before last.
BY different roads, languages,
education, and religions they
had arrived at the same end.
Nunziata shot his victim. Taizo
strangled his with a cord, hav-
ing disabled him with a iiu-,
iitsu trick,
Nunziata gave a farewell
death-house banquet to the
man about to be electrocuted
with him, Both ate beefsteak,
French fried potatoes, coffee,
ice cream, and then smoked
cigars.
Where have the Japanese
and Italian gone, now that
civilization" has killed both of
them by electricity? Did they
land in the same heaven or hell
by different roads, as they
landed in the same death house
and the same electric chair? 4
Will they have another
chance, a million chances per-
haps, or is it all over after the
first chance? .a.-
In ancient hunting, ladies and
gentlemen rode out with hawks
on their wrists. Each hawk
wore a hood covering -fty eyes.
When the hawker saw bird
that he wanted, he uncovered
the eyes Of the hawk. II few
tafter the game, brought it
down. The hawk was trained
to come back and ,roost on the
wrist again. 4 ...
That method of hunting now
figures in sea fighting. Our
battleships will go out carrying
flying machines on their decks,
as the hawker carried the hawk
on his wrist. A. flying ma
chine, hydro-aeroplane, will at
tack the enemy, then come back
to perch on the deck of the ship.
Our navy, most important
announcement, has perfected a
device that enables a machine
flying sixty miles an hour to
land on a ships deck.
The thing is done with wires
stretched across the deck, with
weights attached.
Hooks under the flying ma
chine seize these wires and the
machine is gradually brought
20 a standstill. 1t works very
much like the hooked claws Of
the falcon when he fastens
them on the wrist Of his owner
and comes to a stop.
Nature sets the example and
q man improves on nature vastly,
In creativeness, also in destruc-
tiveness.
William Allen White, editor,
of Kansas, puts up yellow
poster expressing his sympathy
for striking shopmen. His fel-
low Kansan, Governor Allen, or
ders it down because it conflicts
with the industrial court Of
Kansas, and the Kansas system
for adjudicating industrial dis
putes.
White says his poster stands
for the right of Americans to
say and print what they think.
and that you can't pass any law
10 do away with that right.
And William Allen White Is
right and ought to 60 to Jail for
his opinion--if he hasn't any
thing more important to do. A
better thing than going to Jail
would be to stay out Of Jail,
keep on working at his newspa-
per, and put out of office any
body that tries to put him In
jaiI. That's the modern method.
A machine, with a long
name, is supposed to detect
falsehood. A Judge here saws
