ain view of the fact that the Rail
road Wage Commission has before IL
a request from the representatives Oh
these employees for time and one-half
for overtime and the further tact
that the Wage Commission will IN all
probability hand down its award IN
the very near fueurt, l believe it would
be advisable for your company TO
withhold action on this proposition
until the Wage Commisslon renders
its award"
Under date of April II, Mr.. Rea
again wrote Mr.. Smith, pressing lis
previous request for authority to pay
punitive overtime. He said:
MAY l ask you kindly to reply to
nv letter of March 28, regarding re-
quest of committees representing shop
employees at the different points on
the basis of time and onc-half time
for all overtime work? This Is a
very pressing matter and we would
like to be advised as soon as possible"
Mr.. McAdoo testifies that after re-
cciving the second letter from Mr..
Rca, Director Smith telephoned Dir
cctor Gray (of the Division of Oper-
ations of the Railroad AdmlnlStra-
tion) and asked for authority to adopt
overtime payment, 'but did not re-
ceive it."
despite this failure to get autor-
ity from Director of Operations
Gray" said Mr.. McAdoo, Regional
Director Smith, on April 16, 1918, ac-
coded to the. request Of Mr.. Rea to
put in a schedule of time and. a half
time for overtime work"
Mr.. Smiths letter of authorization
to Mr.. Rea is dated April 16, and is
as follows:
"In view Of all lines in your terri

tory, excepting P. & r. for overtime
work, it will be satisfactory for you
to put this basis of pay into effect IN
the shops on your line"
This testimony completely d1sproves
the charge of railroad officials that
punitive overtime was forced upon
the railroads and thereby added to
their cost operation.
The facts are, as testified to by
Mr.. Rea, Of the Pennsylvania, that
with the exception of his road and the
Philadelphia and Reading, the prac-
tice of paying punitive overtime rates
was in effect on practically every road
in the Eastern district.
It is further proven that the Penn
! sylvania Railroad was not forced &c
pay overtime rates, but that its man
ayers repeatedly sought PERMISSION
to do SO.
When this permission was not Sc
cured from the Railroad Admlnlstra
ton, Regional Director Smith, one Of
the country's leading railroad CHI
Gals and a severe critic of Fedora
control, on his own authority, and IL
response to the earnest appeals O.

The time is imperative in

fitting place could be chosen
than the nations capital.
We suggest, in all serious
ness Of purpose, therefore,
that a banquet be given IN
the near future, common
surate with the Importance
of the occasion, and that the
leaders Of the Party be in
vited to sound an unmistak-
able keynote as to where the
Democracy stands today,
and outline its policy for the
days to come.
Personally, we would sug-
gest that Woodrow Wilson,
our revered leader in an
heroic past, be invited to
speak; that out of his Wis
dom, his judgment, and his
prescience, there may be
formulated an organic de-
claration of rights and duties
that shall stir the whole
country to a deep sense OF
its obligations; both in the
troubled times Of the pres
ent and the still graver I'M
certainties of the future. Or
failing Mr.. Wilson, we would
suggest cambridge Colby as
one thoroughly imbued with
those unfailing principles
which must ever guide and
dominate the great masses
of the Democratic Party.

TIME FOR KEYNOTE BANQUET!

The Republican admins
tration at Washington has
advanced far enough in the
execution of it's campaign
agenda to establish a record
either of success or failure,
and to warrant a S a t e
augury as to its future &C
complishments. That the
people of the country at
large are profoundly dis
satisfied with its record
there is no gainsaying. The
recent election in Maine af-
fords but hollow comfort to
the Republicans. On the
other hand, an analysis Of its
returns can but yield solid
encouragement to those OF
the opposition.
The domestic problems Of
the United States we're never
more serious or more numer-
Gus than at present. While
the problems in Europe and
the Pacific demand states
manship of the very highest
order.
The domination of the Re-
publican Party has unques-
tionably passed into the
hands Of the reactionaries.
Instead of profiting by the
errors of the past they have
endeavored to revive the
WORKOUT theories and prac-
tees of a bygone age and
again establish a govern
ment whereby the many
shall be exploited for the
benefit of the few.
The causes for discomfort
among the people are deep
and far-reaching. The Re-
publican Party is not only
without leadership today,
but it is without even an in
telligent understanding of
the economic and social
symptoms of disorder that
appear on the surface. 1t is
inevitable, as a consequence,
that it should be without
remedy or antidote for the
underlying disease itself.
1t is high time, therefore,
that the Democrats of the
country got together and
sounded the keynote of a
constructive program, and
apprise the people again
of those time-honored
prece p IS and principles
which are peculiarly its own.
It is time that in the midst
of the present nationwide
chaos a voice be heard that

FARM DRAINAGE in VERMONT
Plans Outlined Whereby Lowlands May
Be Improved.

i The extension service, collcg oil
agriculture, University of Vermont, in
Incorporation with the United States
department Of agriculture, has during
the last two or three years given con-
siderable attention to farm drainage in
Vermont A drainage engineer from
the federal department has visited
various sections of the state and laid
out number Of drainage systems.
| In Vermont the lands needing drain
age may be divided into three classes;
! ID The fiat or clay loan soils found
along Lake Champlain and Lake
Memphremagog. t2l The areas of
muck or peat soils along Otter Creek
| and areas of seeped or swamp land found
on the Winooski river. (3j the many
small farms scattered throughout the
state. The. first two classes are. in
general, subject TO reclamation by
drainage at reasonable cost, but
economy requires that such lands
usually be handled in comparatively
large tracts. This requires cooperation
among the landowners.
1t is with the third class-the scat
tered areas of seeped or swampy land
that the individual farmer of Vermont
is most concerned. The draining of
such areas win do away with many an

to square up his fields so that farm

are laid on one or both sides at uniform
distances. apart Where the land is
rolling there are marked depressions or
surface runs, it is best to follow them
as the water naturally collects in such
places.

that is necessary. But sometimese the
water comes from springs or flows
