STRIKES ID HALT
 BUSINESS MARCH
Revival in Business Threat. ened if Disorders Continue
 Longer, Belief
By Associated Prsss

New York. July 2S.-The present transportation emergency" will throttle the new business revival in the cradle if the railroad strike con- tinues much longer, said David Will Hams, secretary of the central strike committee, tonight. He based his statement on figures submitted by the labor bureau. showing, he as serted. that the following measures are almost inevitable in dealing with the crisis:
 Emergency pooling of rolling stock under federal control. Resu~< rection of priorities control over shipments as exercised during the war
 Shutting down of non essential in dustries and throttling of the busi- ness revival
 Car Shortage
 With car loadings larger now than in 1920, despite the coal strike, and with heavy crop to be moved, the cars still in commission In the fall will be totally inadequate to handle transportation. even if the strike is settled soon, said Mir. Williams, cit- ing the shortage of 1890, and the 2s per cent increase In falt ioadings for that year.
 The latest figures on bad or out -of- order rolling stock. MT. Williams said, shows that on the more im- portant lines entering New York 1s to 35 per cent of the locomotives and 10 to 25 per cent of the freight cars are out of commission.
 check-up of train schedules and arrivals shows several marked delays daily, especially where sections from distant cities do not make their usu- al connections. members of the strike committee claimed.
 A conference of the New York Central officials with their main tenance of way employees will be held some time next week, said William Parker, chairman of the system fed eration of these workers.

Henyard
 True friends will know when comes
 a day
 'Twere better they should keep away.
 Peter Rabbit.
 Of course Peter Rabbit had heard Sammy Jay screaming the news through the Old Orchard. He knew that soon everybody in the Green Forest, on the Green Meadows, at the Smiling Pool and in the Old Pasture would know that he was A prisoner. It hurt Peters pride. It hurt dread fully. He knew that If ever he should get free he never would hear the end of this. You know he had done his best to keep out of sight. He had come out of that box only at night. Had not Sammy Jay been up extra early that morning Peter would still have had his secret.
 "oh dear!" groaned Peter. Now everybody will know what has hap pened to me, and never, never will I hear the end of it. sammy Jay might have kept 1t to himself. Yes. sir, Sammy Jay might have kept 1t to himself. I'll never forgive him. Now everybody who can will come over here to make fun of me-
 In this Peter was wrong. Every body who could dld visit Farmer Browns henyard. But most of these visitors came, to offer sympathy and not to make fun of Peter. They were sorry for him and they wanted him to know 1t. But Peter kept out of sight in the little Box Farmer Browns Boy had provided for him. He didn't show so much as a whis- ker outside. His friends of the Old 0r1h rA fo h3t didn't answer. Not until the Black Shadows had crept out from behind the Purple Hills and all the little people of the old Orchard had gone to bed for the night did Peter come out of his box.
 But there were visitors even then. Yes. indeed, there were visitors even then. And these visitors were not the kindly sort who had tried so hard all day to see him. Roddy Fox was the first. You know Reddy knew just how Peter had been caught. He sat down just outside the henyard and grinned through the wires at Peter.
 T see you have moved from the dear Old Brier patch" said Reddy in the most provoking way. T can't say that I think much of the change myself, but there is no accounting for tastes. Did you get tired of It, tie Mrs. Peter and the children"
 Peter turned his back to Reddy and pretended not to hear him. Reddy kept right on saying all kinds of mean things. and making all man ner of fun at Peter for getting caught, Reddy was enjoying making Peter uncomfortable. You know some people do enjoy making others uncomfortable.
 Suddenly Reddy disappeared as silently as shadow. Almost at once his place was taken by another. It was Old Man Coyote. He also grinned through the wires al Peter. But he didn't make fun of Peter. No, sir, Old Man Coyote didn't make fun of Peter. He had once been q prls- oner himself and he understood just how Peter felt. Don't worry, Peter" said he. T don't believe Farmer Browns boy means you any harm. Just keep your eyes open and soon- CT or later you twill find a chance to get out" Old Man Coyote grinned again and then went on about his business
 He had not been gone long when Peter heard just the faintest of sounds. He looked up to find Hooty the Owl sitting on one of the posts of the henyard and glaring down at him with such a hungry look that

little shivers ran all over Peter, ai- though he knew Hooty couldn't get him. Three times Hooty sailed over him so close that his wings brushed the wire top of the pen. Then with a scream of disappointment he flew away. Somehow with Hooty about that pen hadn't seemed such a dread full place.

by Harvesting the available wa

and we need fear no shortage OF that
now scarce and expensive commod-

OF water supply were properly de-
veloped and utilized"
But, Uncle Harry. n water power
Is so desirable and so satisfactory,
why in the world did they give It up
and use coai2" asked Jimmy.
Because at that time there was
no means known OF transmitting this
power to the places where the indus
tries were established. All the fac
tories and manufacturing plants
could not be situated right on the
edge OF the falls or dams so Il be-
came necessary 10 find some other
way OF generating power that could
be used where there was no water.
