The :rpublic is the greatest suffer

The public is the greatest sufferer
from the coal and railroad strikes
and it is evident that the public will
receive no help from the governments.
Both the president and Congress are
too .timid.; The best way for the
public to help itself is to support the
railroads. The railroad men are not
receiving as high wages as they ex-
torted during the war;. but they are
better paid than the average citizen.

 many surprises on it's program. Tn,
 ternational bay" was an apt charac. | terizatlon of the program as the l rapid growth Of the organization has by no means been confined to the United States but has spread to many other countries. Flags of the nations were conspicuous about the tables and snort messages were received from Rotary leaders in other lands P. Alfred Fleming of Chicago, was a speaker.
 In order to more thoroughly sym bolize the spirit and aims of Rotary, a letter was despatched to the mayor and members of the City Council. It did not mention the salary question, the tax rate or the water supply, it simply asked, How can our orga ni- zation help you solve your civic prob lems and relieve you of some of the burdens that are placed on you every day." It was signed by President Leon A. Sprague.
 There was more in the letter --| enough more to show that the Rotary club has graSped what if believes to be brand new idea.

National Agree ment Made During Fed eral ControI-Other Diff ferences Remanded for Negotiations.

Chicago, Feb. 23.--Another pay slash, this time hitting 10000 station ary f1remen and oilers was made by the u. s. Railroad Labor Board today when it announced rules ef- fectfve March 1 eliminating extra pay until after the tenth hour and setting up split trick" of eight hours within spread of 12 without any overtime pay
 10 Hour Day Restored.
 Following several other decisions virtually restoring the ten hour day for railroad workers, the board today authorized the roads to pay only pro rata wages after the regular eight hours which the board retained in principle as constituting a days work. Time and half will be paid after ten hours. Tn the case of the split trick straight time will be paid for the first ten hours work, whether in- cluded in the 12 hour spread or not and time and one half will be given thereafter.
 Previous Schedules.
 Formerly the firemen and oilers, all of whom work around railroad shops, were paid time and one-half after eight hours
 Sundays and holidays will be paid for at the pro-rata rate, minimum of three hours pay being made for two hours work or less Monthly rated employees wages are to be ad- ,iusted to eliminate the old time and one -half provisions.
 Ten rules regarding discipline, grievances, discrimination against committee men and similar matters were remanded to the employees and the roads for further negotiations. The boards new rules supplant the national agreement made during fed eral control, which has bear in ef feet since January 16, 1920.

Lodges Reservation on 4Power
 Teaty Opposed By BoM Parties
Substitute for Brandegee's Fails to Pass-Adjourn- ment Until Tomorrow.
NO ACTION TAKEN
 ON BONUS MEASURE

Washington, Feb. 23.-A modified blanket reservation to the four power Pacific treaty, laid before the senate foreign relations committee today by Chairman Lodge after conference ! with President Harding, met with i'm mediate opposition from several re- publican as well as democratic con- mittee members.
 Debates Prove Useless.
 The new reservation, intended as a substitute for that proposed several days ago by Senator Brandegec, re- publican, Connecticut, provides that nothing in the treaty shall be con- strued as committing the United States to an exercise of armed force without the consent of congress-
 After more than an hours debate, which failed to win over to the new proposal any of the senators who had supported the Brandegee reservation, the committee adjourned until to- morrow without action.
 No Bonus Action.
 The soldiers bonus question was allowed to simmer today, the spccia committee dealing with the question of ways of raising funds deferring further sessions until tomorrow. Some committeeman said the bill probably would not be reported out of the committee this week or next.
 There seemed to be a disposition to make haste slowly. Meantime it was said that there was d growing sentiment among members of the house 10 postpone action until after the debt refunding negotiations be- ween the United States and the prin- ,ipal allied nations are put under way. | In this connection Representative .ongworth of Ohio ranking member ,f the committee dealing with | finances said there was reason to be- ieve that some Of the refunded for ign bonds would be in hand by July.
 At this time sentiment in the spe- 'ial committee seems to be for re- porting out q bill carrying a mann- a acturers and wholesalers tax siml- ar to that in force in Canada but with lower rates.
