FIGHT over SENIORITY
Union Chiefs Forecast Bitter
Struggle As Farley Ends.

Minneapolis - Negotiations which
had reached stage indicating that
the sEopmen's strike in the Northwest
would end were broken off when R. A.
Henning, representing the men, an
nOunced that his district would re-
main in the fight until national
agreement had been reached
Conferences which began July 6, one
week after the men left the shops,
failed Of their object because of one
point. That was the reported refusal
OF Eastern roads to restore seniority
rights to striking shopmen in the
event that they returned to work.
1t was stated at strike headquarters
that all other differences could have
been settled across table with the
individual roads, but the ultimatum in
the East against restoring seniority
was the rock upon which the North.
west peace plan was wrecked. Strike
leaders declared that the failure of
an agreement under this plan meant a
bitter fight
Little hope was held out at strike
headquarters that the negotiations
could be reopened with any expecta-
ton of an agreement.
Following the refusal of the strike
leaders to accept the terms of the set
tlement, two more Twin City roads,
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific, issued ultimatums fixing dates
when the men must return to work
without FORGETTING seniority and pen
sion rights

association, who declared that imme.

be necessary to avert an almost com.

Through the action of the Interstate
Commerce commission 1900 cars of
coal have been ordered here, part of
it to be delivered to vessels having
mail carrying contracts.

THOUSAND MEN TO QUIT JOBS
shopmen Stand Firm-Majorit Of Ap.
plicants inexperienced.

Minneapolis - Forces of striking
railroad shopmen in the Twin Cities
were augmented by nearly 1000 sta
tionary firemen and oilers who joined
the strike of the federated shop crafts,
according to R. A. Henning, head of
the shop crafts for the Northwest.
The strike of the new group, Mr.
Henning said, was in sympathy with
the shop crafts strike. Albert Brown,
chairman of the stationary fremen
and oilers union, conferred with Mr.
Henning and plans were discussed for
the support of the shop crafts strike
by the stationary firemen and oilers.
Northwest railroads, having failed to
establish separate peace with strik-
ing shopmen, set about to replace the
strikers with new help and resigned
to the task of keeping operations NOV
ing as best they could pending the
settlement of the shop crafts strike ma
tionally.

States.

washington - President Harding
WILL issue communication to the gov.
errors of the states outlining the fed.
eral policy in the coal and rail strike
situations. In the meantime, NO state.
ment concerning the governments at.
utude will be made public, it was said
at the White House.
The message will be directed partic.
ularly to the chief executives of the
coal producing states where the gov.
eminent considers the complications in
the coal and rail matters have become
most serious.
President Harding was represented
as feeling that the refusal of the btu
minous coal miners and a minority of
the operators to accept arbitration left
the administration no alternative but
to tell the operators to go home and
start producing coal as he did in re.
ce1Vlng the operators response.
Operators who remained in Washing.
ton canvassed the situation carefully
to determine what were the prospects
for resuming coal production. Man.
ayers of coal mines in Pennsylvania
and Southern Ohio said they held
strong hopes of successfully opening
part OF their mining area.

Edwin F. Goltra if St. Louis.
The War department informed
Colonel Goltra that he mus complete

alton at once. At first, it is intended
to operate the line as far north as
Davenport, Iowa, and later to extend
it to the Twin Cities.

SIX COWS GIVE QUART OF MILK
A DAY FOR 10 BABIES

The Improvement of dairy COW.
means great deal more than increased
profits to the dairyman. It means
cheaper food and more milk, the best
bone and muscle maker for children.
What this improvement means is
brought out forcefu!ly by a poster pre-.
pared by the. United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture and sent free to
interested persons.
An ordinary COW or scrub produces
only enough milk to feed children a
quart day, while a good cow yields
enough to give 20 children a quart a
day. The surcrcow, and there are more
and more of them in this class each
year, gives enough milk SO that a small
herd of them might supply this: guam.
THY to al the small children in a
small town. :,
On its farm at. Belts7i'',, Md, the
department :,as six cows, the result of
it's breeding work, that have produced
an average of more than $4,000
pounds Of milk in 365 days. This little
herd Of six big producers yields enough
milk to provide 10 children a quart a
day. One of them could supply nearly
so children, or six times as many as the
ordinary COW could take care of.
Good breeding, first and good feeding,
second, have made the difference.

UNCLE DUDLEY'S COLUMN
At the Brink

There comes time in the life of
every man when he pauses upon the
brink.
He is face to face with the crucial
moment Of his career, when another
step forward may mean riches, yet
wealth that is stained by the odium of
deliberate and intentional wrong.
If he takes the forward step his fate
is sealed. He may repent of his act
and make restitution, but the memory
can not be eradicated from the minds
Of his generation.
If he retraces his steps and sets a
different course he may not achieve the
riches that are all but within his
grasp. But he retains honor, which
wealth can not buy; respect, which in
tegrity alone will command; and con-
tentment, which is the heritage of a
clear conscience.
The friend Of today whom you ad-
mire and welcome to your home did

ments Of a glittering future. He chose
