proposal from any one in authority.
including the Labor Board. which
will lead TO settlement of the
strike OF the 100000 men," It was
stated today by a high union off,

way employees department Of the
American Federation Of Labor.
"If they have anything to offer, "
continued this official I'VE are
ready to consider it,"
Concerning the possibility OF set
tling the strike, B. NJ. Jewell, head
OF the striking railway men. de-
clared:
We have been and are now anx-
ious to meet authoritative represent
atives TO settle this dispute, which
can and ought to be settled. This
story about our having cut loose
from the Labor Board and refusing
to consider the Labor Board as a
medium of settling the strike has
no official basis. The Labor Board
has had no official notification that
our men are no longer railroad EN-.
ployes or that they have removed

roads.
1T Is the unanimous agreement
Of railroad managements that
though they might supply common
labor. they cannot supply skilled
mechanics on short notices. 1t re-
quires about four years training to
be a good mechanic among the rail-
road shops. Railroad work Is q
trade in itself"
Jewell, in response to a question
as to how long his men could hold
out, declared they could and would
hold out Indefinitely.
We have been preparing for this
since 1921" he said. We antici-
pated that a general tie up might
become necessary and in 1924 we
sent out a circular letter to all our
members telling them that in time
OF peace was the time to prepare for
war. Our men are now prepared
and we will stick to this to q finish> -

not necessarily mean that ali new

roo MANY WOMEN?
BY DR.. William E. Barton
n the Rural Weekly Published in
st. Paul, Mimi

The impression is that America is
short of potential husbands. There are
in fact 1O4 men to every 100 women.
Every census from the beginning of
America has shown an excess of men
over women. More male children than
female are born. More men than
women immigrate from other coun-
tries to America.
But men do not hold their advan-
tage. They die in childhood more
easily than girls. They weaken their
hearts by the excessive use of tobacco.
They are more subject to accidents.
They are more exposed to fatalities
in war.
In the times of Isaiah a situation
was described in which eve women
would lay hold on one man and offer
to support themselves if he would
marry them all. This merely mean
that after war has killed off large
numbers of men, there is great short
age of husbands, and an abnormal So
cial condition.
In the United States there are still
more men than women, but this is due
largely to foreign immigration. Native
born young women have not any more
than an ever chance of getting a hus-
band. In Nevada there are far more
men than women, Notwithstanding the
number of women who go there to be
divorced.
But in Massachusetts a woman has
only SO chances out of 100 of being
married, and would have less but for
the immigration which comes into that
state and remains there.
In the older states, the ratio of men
to women is usually less than in the
newer ones. A woman in the West
has a better chance, automatically, of
marrying than Ill the East.
Most school teachers marry, and
that is we'll. The school officials do
not like it, but the marriage OF teach-
ers deserves to be encouraged. The
average school teacher is likely to be
a good wife and mother.
A majority of stenographers marry,
and that is well. They ought to
marry. The training of children in the
SchOolrOom is in general better prepa-
ration for matrimony than office work,
but on the other hand, a majority of
stenographers live at home and have
some domestic responsibility.
America is not depleted of its man
hood. An enormous majority of our
girls who grow up will have husbands.
That is an encouraging fact for the
girls, and not less so for the men
whom they are to marry.

TEMPERED JUSTICE WITH
MERCY

I'VE hunted work in Kansas City,
our money gave out and we started to
walk to u home in Oklahoma. The
smell of a bakery was too much for us
withour little sister begging for food"
explained a boy arrested in a little
Kansas town for forging a check for
60 cents to buy bread for four. The
boy was leading his mother, sister, and
a younger brother back to their small
home in another state. When the baker
heard the story he tore the incrimi-
mating check to bits, the prosecutor in
vited the family to live at his house
until they could receive help from
home, and the Kansas town marshal
buttoned his coat over his star and
left. We commend this Kansas method
of tempering justice with mercy to the
Chicago judge who recently sent a
man up for 20 years for stealing SIS
to buy food Tor seven children.-Cap-

TRAVELLING ON A FRENCH TRAIN

The railroads of France catch the
imagination. The trains are not only
bound for somewhere, but anxious to
get there at once. Their motto is,
Lets go!" They are fast and long
and crowded, with cars of many sizes
and shapes and lengths and heights,
some of them being two stories high;
all loosely coupled together. The
third-class cars are damned and
crowded. There are ten seats in a
compartment, and usually 20 passen-
gers, including those who squeeze in
among the seated passengers or stand
in the corridor. Prior to the war
the French people did not travel much,
but it seems to be the policy of the
authorities to keep the people NOV
ing. Hence there are daily excursions
at low rates to the war area, which is
always filled with French sightseers,
viewing the ruins under the guidance
of wounded soldiers.
Woe to the American who tries to
economic by travelling third-class in
the war region! Third-class is all
right in England, comfortable and
clean and cheap, and the Englishman
does not submit to crowding on the
trains or buses. When a bus is full
up" no one can get in. The result is
plenty of cars and buses and travel
comfort. Second-class cars have dis
appeared, except on trains which con-
meet with the continent, and first
class ears are few and little patron
lied. Railroad fares in France are
much cheaper than in America, and
there are all sorts of provisions
whereby those who travel much or
who travel with their families or in
groups, may travel cheaply.
At Verdun when everything was
ready and the numerous whistles and
bells had been blown and rung, the
engineer was missing, but finally he
came out of a buvette carrying a big
two-quart bottle of vim rouge, and we
started for Paris. How we did go!
Every time we came to a down-grade
the engineer poured some more vim
rouge on the ~accelerator and speeded.
When we approached a crossing it
seemed as though the awkward, non
descript cars held a get together eau
Gus and said, Lets hit them hard"
and, with the rafting like the clatter-
ing of a dozen machine guns, the
train bumped it's way over the frogs.
Most of the cars had been working
the problem of squaring the circle
many years, and were succeeding
finely. Almost every wheel vas fiat.
They were keyed in two to seven flats
and the wheel under the a in which
I rode will surely win the prize for
being the first to square the CIRCLE
