ANOTHER POINT AT ISSUE
 IN RAILROAD STRIKE

The longer the railroad strike lasts the more complicated it becomes. A new factor has as- sumed major importance which, it is declared knew little or nothing about, and as result hiirriedly summoned Chairman Hooper of the labor board for conference at the White House.
 The latest stumbling block to the peace is the demand for national board of adjustment. The other two points at issue are pensions and seniority rights, which the strikers say must be restored as basis for further discussions. Farming out" contracts for repair work is no longer a subject of controversy, although it was instrumental in causing the strike. It is stated that only two railroads are continu- ing this practice.
 Where railroads have not employed a con- siderable number of new men, the restoration of seniority rights is not such difficult mat ter to concede, but in case where thousands of new men have been given employment, with the promise that it would be permanent if they were competent, and others have remained loyal, the railroad executives claim that they have made q pledge to these workers which they cannot and will not break.
 While in some parts of the country freight service has been kept up practically to 100 per cent, which the executives themselves admit cannot be maintained for any length of time, the strike has already had demoralizing ef- feet on transportation, and, with the coal strike to make bad matters worse, is affecting the business and industrial life of the entire country. Coal rationing next winter now ap- pears to be inevitable.
 President Harding realizes the gravity of tho situation and is exerting himself to settle both strikes without so far having met with success. Nothing can be done for the time being by Congress. The task is one that MT. Harding must face to the best of his ability. The public, in the role of an innocent by stander, waits to see what he will do.

NO REDUCTION IN SALARIES FOR
 POLICEMEN AND FIREMEN

majority of the city commission acted wisely in everything Commissioner tf Public Safety Cloe's order reducing salaries in his department 10 per cent for two months. Mr. Cioe stated that the cut was necessary to bring his department inside its budget allowance but it was obviously unfair to make under paid policemen and firemen, on whose loyalty the safety of life and property depends, suffer for a state of affairs for which they were in no way to blame.
 The fact that Mir. CIoe reduced his own sal ary did not make the burden any lighter vn men drawing from $11o to $125 month. The commissioner could well afford cut of 10 per cent. Members of the police and fire depart ments, who are married, get barely enough to support themselves and their families de- gently. The report even got abroad that it was designed to make the reductions perma- nent. In spite of this rumor and Commis- sioner Cloe's order, it is said there were no complnts This speaks well for admirable spirit shown by employees in the department of public safety.
 
 The problem solved by appropriatng $1o,ooo from other funds to ths ccmmis- sions disposal, money set aside to pay interest on school bonds which the commission had ex- pected to sell. The appropriation should easily bring Mir. Cloes department within the budget allowance.
 Citizens of Birmingham will reioIce to know that the hard-worked and poorly paid police and firemen will not lose dollar of their salaries. There is no better police force or fire department, considering their size, any where in the country.
 Just now, when there is so much industrial unrest, it is indispensable that the fullest pos sible measure of protection be given and the morale of the police and fire departments be kept up, rather than broken down by discour- agement and wage cuts.

DEBARDELEBEN RETIRES FROM BARGE SERVICE

Henry F. DeBardeleben transmitted much of his sturdiness to his son, Henry T. DeBar- deleben, coal operator and former manager of the Warrior river barge line who has resigned in order that he may devote his entire time to private business, much neglected during the two years that he has served the river.
 Theodore Brent, general manager of the Mississippi Warrior transportation service, writing of MT. DeBardeleben's work, says: His experience and enthusiastic support of the project and his disposition to give his first thoughts to the public service of the barge line, regardless of the consequences to his own business, have been of incaculable value to this project in its formative state."
 MT. DeBardeleben tried to resign months ago, but was persuaded to remain in charge while river affairs were in an uncertain situ- gressman Oliver feared his resignation might further complcate.
 He gave generously of his energy to this work anod was among the largest subscribers to the Port of Birmingham building fund. He was a river coal pioneer, as his father had been . land coal pioneer.
 MT. DeBardeleben will remain Warrior enthusiast and continue the largest river coal shipper to Mobile and New Orleans.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
FROM TUSCALOOSA ROTARY CLUB

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The Tuscaloosa Rotary club, through the columns of The Age-Herad, wishes to voice the feeling that in the loss of Rotarian Ed Bar rett of The Age-Herald the state has lost one of it's most patriotic and constructive citizens. In the estimation of this club he stood out as one of Alabama's greatest leaders. The state will miss his services. It is with sincere re- gret that we are forced to note his going, It is given to but few men to have she vision he had and to possess at his hands the efficient agency for disseminating his views. Ed Bar rett and The Age-Herald jointly have per formed service for Alabama which canpot be overestimated. JAMES S. THOMAS,

PAUL COOK.

same carpet would be later appraised by world famous experts as worth half million dollars This transaction will undoubtedly stand for ever as the worlds record for an increase in rug value
 None the less, many people in this country who bought rugs with taste and judgment 20 or 30 years ago lived to see some of their pieces attain ten times their original value. Despite the lamentations of some of the vet eran dealers that the good old days, when rugs could be bought for song and sold for fortune, now gone forever, those who have bought with expertness and good luck have, even in recent years made some aston ishing transactions. One rug that cost only $40 not 50 very long ago is now conservatively appraised at $5,000, another which was bought for $21 was promptly resold for $500, and was below the market price at that. But the changes in rug values are not always consist ently upwards. Many ~unwary purchasers have found that their "priceless" rugs would bring only painfully low prices when again offered for sale. Moreover, the open market value of certain excellent types has shrunk markedly in the last few years. Such famous rugs as the Ghiordes have temporarily declined, damaged by the scorn of Martin and Valentiner as well as by diversion of interest of many colec- tors to earlier types. Even the Bokharas, once the most popular of all rugs, have, since the decorators declared the color red taboo also joined falling market. In contrast to these, other types such as the Ispahans,- continue to rise in value. It is probable that some of the lesser-known kinds, such as the early Oushaks, are, through sheer artistic merit, destined for considerable advance they come to be better understood.

THE FLYING DUrcHMAN
From Adventure Magazine for Angus

From Adventure Magazine for August.
 The legend of the Flying Dutchman is of Dutch skipper, who, in the early part of the seventeenth century, was trying to round the Cape of Good Hope in the teeth of success sion of heavy gales, against which his clumsy craft was unable to beat to windward and gain any way, This Dutch skipper is said to have blasphemously defied the Almighty to keep him from rounding the cape and declared that he would keep at it, in spite of heaven ana he'll until he made it. He was taken at his world, and is supposed to be still at it. In,- aginative sailormen of bygone years, when en- countering the common occurrence of heavy weather off the cape and head wind, used to imagine that out of the mist they could see the galiot of the Flying Dutchman, with It's dauntless captain standing on her high poop and shaking his fist at the stormy sky It IS quite safe to say that the Flying Dutchman has not appeared great deal of recent years. In fact, few modern seamen have ever heard of the legend.
