BrotherhOOds Keep
Their Agreements

Cleveland. July 29.-Members of
the. four RAILROAD Brotherhoods, Inc
Engineers, Conductors, Firemen
and Trainmen, while heartily in
sympathy with the action OF the
railway shop employees who are
striking to maintain a decent stan
dard of living, have nevertheless
been ordered by their officers to
perform scrupulously all their u d
duties under the terms of their
agreements with the railroad comp
anies, no more and no less. At the
same time, they are advised under
no circumstances to do work preyi-
ously done by or take the place Of
any of the striking employees, under
penalty of expulsion In other
words, the chiefs of the Brother
hoods recognize the strike of the
shopmen as legal and justiiable, but
in accordance with their well-estab-
lished policy, they will not violate
the solemn contracts for service
which they have previously made
with the railway companies.
Protest Violation by Railroads
While observing carefully the
terms of their agreements, the rail
way Brotherhoods are protesting to
the Interstate Commerce Commits

railroads affected by the strike in
compelling train service employees

Hooper, of the Board, stated that
only a very few workers have suf-
fered the cut to 23c an hour, while
most of them will receive few
cents more. President Cradle, who
knows more about maintenance of
way labor than any other man in
the country, informed the Board
that this propaganda statement was
without justification in fact. He
said:
THE ascent wage applies to all
common labor classes of mainten-
ance of way men, in the Northern
States as well as in the South.
When the wage is inaugurated on
July ] it may affect more than
100000 of our men. Moreover, the
principle is the same, North or
South, whether it applies to 5000
or 100000, a 23-cent wage can not
be defended before the American
people upon any basis of human
standards"

soon a bonfire blazed. The Older
man placed a burning stick on the
spot he had been chopping. The
flame burned away the wood, but
there was danger of it spreading
too far. The young man saw the
danger, ran to the riverside and
scoped up some sand. This he
poured upon he flames and quench,
ed them. A fire was started in an
other spot and put out with sand.
The proceeding was repeated until
the log was as hollow as wished.

INVENTION OF THE CANOE

Crude canoes of petrified wood
have been found in old lake bottoms
and are believed TO date back TO the
late Stone Age. A number OF saw
age tribes of modern times build
canoes in what must be about the
same way as in the Stone Age.
With these facts in mind, let us
compose a story of how man first
made the canoe:
There wa Stone Age man who
lived in a cave near river. Mem
bers or his tribe often used log
boats to cross the river, but to pad
die such boats was great deal OF
work.
81 wish we did not have so much
wood to move when we're in the
river" this man grumbled one day.
His companions laughed, saying.
ooh, you're lazy. You grumble TOO
much"
These words angered the man. He
decided to find some way to make
a Hgher boat Going to a secret
spot near the river, he chopped
down a tree with his stone ak. The
tree was very large and by Che time
he had finished trimming off the
branches it was time for dinner. He
went back to the cave and told his
wife to hurry and give him some of
the bear meat he had brought in
the day before.
After eating heartily, he hurried
back and began chopping hollow
in the log He made some head,
way, but the work was too slow to
suit this "grumbling" man.
A young friend happened to come
along. He discovered what was
going on, and had a good idea.
Fire eats up wood" he said.
why not let it eat some of this
log? Then it will save the trouble
Of chopping."
The older man nodded.
Let US try it," he said. A py-
rite stone was struck against the

trusted with the responsibility of
making safe for public travel the

of the carriers. The present wage
slash is not only driving them below
the level of any possible decent hu-
man existence, but is also setting a
basic scale for the pay of unskilled
workers so low that it will pull
after it the already insufficient
wages of the more skilled employees,
whose compensation is rcckoned
upon the basic unskilled rate.

1t may be possible to have too

should say impossible to have too
much Of any best thing! Edu-
cation is one OF the best things
for mankind; that is, il YOU de-
fine it properly. One Of the en-
couraging signs of this century
is the degree OF interest that IS
taken in the education of the
people. Millions in the United
States are left for its advance
ment every year by those who
desire that the money they have
accumulated shall benefit their
fellows after they are gone.
Many more millions are given in
the lifetime of the donors. organi-
cations, associations, and inStitu-
tons of various kinds are formed
and forming, whose sole object
is to make the spread OF educa-

CITIZENS BAND

The concerts that are now beng
given on Friday nights by the
Citizens Band, at their band-Stand
on the corner Of Washington and
Prince Streets, deserve unStlnted
praise. The thought OF these
concerts was that of the enter
'prising president OF the Chamber
of Commerce. Mr.. r. T.. Knight,
who generously attributes it to an
editorial in the Gazette on the sub
iect some months ago.
To MIR. Lambert Sullivan is due
the credit OF the organization OF
this band apout two years ago.
The members OF the Alexandria
Citizens Band include the best
citizenship OF the community, and
the progress they have made is
really most commendable. If they
keep up the present rate OF inn
provement this city will have one
OF the crack bands OF the country,
and it will be no minor feature
OF Greater Alexandria, either.
