HAD TO MAKE FULL ROUND
tues of the TreadmiIl Given Full
Opportunity.

4 Britisher tells a story of II mem
Der of the clergy who took too large n
mouthful on one occasion.
He was visiting the county Jail and
eXpiated TO a friend who was with
him on the virtues of the treadmlll.
Warming up with his theme, he de-
clared that he often wished he had one
at home to give him the gentle eXer-
else he required, and to remove his
friends skepticism, he asked the
warden to give him a turn.
Round went the wheel, the clergyman
declaring that the movement was de
lightful; but after We minutes he had
had enough and desired the officer To
stop the mill. To his horror the oil
Ger answered
VERY sorry, sir, but | can't. It's

Shopmen'S Strike Is Broken BY
Separate Agreements With
Many of the Roads.
MEN GO BACK AT OLD WAGES

Majority-Danger of New
Wa in the Balkans.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD

g EPARATE agreements entered into
by striking shopmen and railways
representing about one-ffth of the
country's mileage last week brought
about a break in the strike that has
lasted for some 10 days and threaten
ed the nations transportation facili-
ties with decentralization. II is be-
lieved some other railways will soon
make the same arrangement with the
men. these including the Rock Island,
the Burlington and the Northern Pa
ciic.
Some Of the big lines, notably the
PennsyivanIa. have not adopted the
settlement plan. They assert they al
ready have won the strike and will
not make terms with the men VINO
went out. OF the roads accepting the
agreements the most important are:
New York Central lines and subsi-
diaries, including Michigan Central,
Boston and Albany. and Big -Four;
Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul
Erie; Chicago and Northwestern and
its subsidiary. the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Omaha; Baltimore
anu OHlD. stiDpuIh All iAit 2VhAiA
ern railway; New York, Chicago and
st. Louis; The Monon; Wheeling and
Lake Erie.
The agreements are. as they should
be. n compromise. All the strikers, eX-
cept those proven guilty of acts of
violence, are to be taken back within
thirty days Mt tho prevailing pay
prescribed by the federal railway
labor board, and in the shops where
they were formerly employed, but not
necessarily at the same jobs. There
is no specific provision regarding the
matter of seniority rights, but 1t is
believed this issue car be worked out
satisfactorily after the men are back
at work. Any controversies arising
from the strike that cannot be settled
otherwise are to be referred to n com
mission to be established. consisting
Of six Representatives of the labor or
CARNATIONS involved and six repre-
~sentatives OF the railroads. This COM
mission Is to remain In existence only
until May 81, 1923. and none of It's
decisions nor the agreement in gen
erai shall be used or cited In any
controversy between these parties or
between the railroads signing the
same or any other class or classes of
their employees in any other con
troversy that may hereafter arise"

Two Democratic gubernatorial pri-
maries in the South we're of general

Leod defeated Governor Blease. and
the state is to be congratulated. In
Georgia Governor Hardwick was beat
en- by Clifford w. Walker. Hardwick
has opposed the Ku Klux Khan. which
probably accounts for his defeat.
Names election, which used TO be
considered a reliable indication of re
suits in the nation generally in No
vember, took place Monday, and the
Republicans won by what the party
leaders professed TO regard as salts
they were far below those of 1920.
Senator Frederick Hale'u majority over
Curtis, Democrat. was about $1,000,
and Governor Baxter lad "a slightly
larger margin over Pattangall. The
four Republican congressional candi-
dates were elected, but the Democrats
increased their membership in the
state assembly from 10 to 40 and in
the state senate from none to three.
Republican leaders in Washington
called the Maine results an endorse
of the administration, while the
Democratic chiefs found satisfaction
in the reduced size Of the Republican
majorities.

nounced that it would proceed despite

temporary injunction was extended
ten days, but the court warned the

further extended. The government
presented many thousands of afiidavits

Veterans Bureau The number of beds
in these hospitals taken over by the
Veterans Bureau is in excess Of 2S,
900.
There were many ex-service men
living in remote sections of the coun'
try who were not aware of the bene
fits they could receive and should bt
receiving from the government under
the Veterans Bureau. In order thar
no worthy sxservice man entitled tc
benefits OF any kind might be neglect
ed, the Veterans Bureau conducted
drive in which over 175,000 ex-servicc
men were interviewed and 10000 new
claims were filed and handled as
result.
As a result OF this tremendous pro
gram OF Federal aid to ex-service men
all OF which has been put into effeci
by the Republican Party and the
money for which has been appropr!
ated by a Republican Congress, the

given:
"a Over 100000 ex-service men
have received hospital treatment; 30,

/ treatment in hospitals; over 100000
ex-service men have been called for
examination in order to ascertain II
they should receive hospital or med
ical treatment
(2) over 10000 ex-service men
have entered vocational training and
10000 more have been declared eligi'
BILE for vocational training.
(3) Compensation for disabled ex-
service men or their dependents Is
being paid out at rate in excess OF
$1,000.000 in cash every day, iLclud-
ing Sundays.
(4) over $4,000 medical examinations
are being made free every month In
order to ascertain the physical and
mental treatments needed by afflicted
ex.service men.
90 over 1000 new claims are being
handled every day by the Veterans
Bureau and all work in that bureau is
practically current and being conduct

In November. 1918, the people elect
ed a Republican Congress, The first
session of this newly elected Repub-
lican Congress began May 10, 1919.
with II began practically all Federal
aid for relief and assistance of those
who served in the World War An
elaborate program was formulated
providing for hospital and medical aid
Tor all disabled and diseased exservice
men. The program included those
suffering from mental diseases as
result of their war experience: also
vocational training and rehabilitation;
also financial allotments for those en-.
gagged in such training; also compensa.
ton for men totally or partially dis
abled, and for their dependents; and
for the dependents Of those who died
as a result of injury or disease con.
tracted while in the service Of their
country.
There was expended to July 1.
1922, for the purposes of carrying out
this program the sum of S1,435, ,S54,3
In addition an appropriation of S423,.
OSS,S42, has just besn made by the
Congress for the Veterans Bureau for
the coming fiscal year. This is a great.
er appropriation than made for any
other purpose except in payment OF
the public debt.
Following the war the sdminlstra.
tion of relief for ex-service men was
divided among several bureaus and this
necessitated tremendous overhead ex
pense, eating up disproportionate
amount of money appropriated for aid
OF World War veterans, and II
occasioned endless delay in hand
ling ex-service mems cases and
put them to unfair expense. TC
remedy these evils the Republican
Congress passed "a measure. combin
ing all agencies dealing with ex-serv
ice men under the Veterans Bureau
Following the war, hundreds of thou
sands Of veterans permitted their in
surance to lapse, largely because oi
the slipshod manner in which theii
claims We're handled under the Dem

quest of representatives of the ex-serv
