large number OF workers prior Tn
federal control"
In a report made to the presi-
dent, March 1, 1920, Walker d.
Hines, then director general OF rail
roads, said:
various orders of the director
general have established reasoua-
pie rules and working conditions.
which were applicable in the very
numerous cases, where no rules
and working conditions had been
established prior to federal con-
troll, and in some cases the rules
and working conditions established
by the director general have, by
agreement, become a substitute for
those which prevailed by agree
ment prior to federal control.
Agreements justified,
The system has fully justified
itself, and it is only a question of
time and mutual understanding
when local incidents of 2 discour-
aging character will disappear.
Mr.. Hines testified that the ma
tional agreement eliminated fric-
ton between the managers and en-
ployes in the most gratifying man
ner, which was the prime object
sought when it was promulgated.
He said:
1T is an interesting commentary
that on some OF the largest rail-
roads in the country, with the
strongest and most effective man
agements, not a single case has
come to one or more of these boards
OF adjustment.
The principle of collective bar
gaining has been further recogniz-
ed in the making of national agree
ments between the director general
and certain organizations of rail-
road employees, such agreements to
remain operative during federal
control, subject to modification as
provided in the agreements.
EARLY in the railroad admins
tFation it was declared that no dis
elimination will be made in the en-
ployment, retention or conditions
of employment of employees because

acute and menacing. /. There

Cost Of National Agreement.
Did the national agreement i'm
pose unnecessary costs upon the
carriers? Railroad officials havs
declared that they were very ex-
pensive, but Mr.. Hines declares that
under them efficiency of workers
increased
Mr. Hines, in his report to the
president, says that The traffic
units of service per man hour had
increased from 81 per cent in 1915
to 100 per cent in 1919, a greater
number Of traffic units per man
hour than had ever been obtained
before"
Frank McManamy, assistant di-
rector of operations during federal
control, corroborated the testimony
OF Messrs. McAdoo and Hines in
an extended presentation before the
United States railroad labor board.

said, practically put an end to

BELIEVED IN SAFETY FIRST
Small Ruth Wanted to Be Quite Sure About Her ProsrietorshiP of
 That Apple Pie.

There was never any haste at Aunt Dorothea's table; consequently Ruth, the youngest of all the nieces and nephews who gathered at Hunting Hill in the summer, had learned what to expect. Everything was served by Aunt Dorothea herself, and age had strict precedence.
 There came day, however, when Ruth, returning to the family dining room after season spent in her room with a sore throat, found at her place little delectable apple pie, so small that it seemed as if it must be meant for her alone. Nevertheless, she de- termined to be cautious.

Remarkable Whiskers.

A hair-raising adventure is recount ed by London actor, Arthur Bour- chier, who once, being cast for the part of Henry VIII, determined to grow beard suitable for the role. He took a three-weeks vacation and retired into darkest Cornwall upon this mission, emerging at the end of the period with considerable progress visible. However, 1t seemed best to repair to hairdresser for little hastening treatment. All went well until one weekend at Northumberland, when MT. Bourchier decided to bathe In the sea. Alas for the chemistry of ocean waters mingled with hair tonic-his whiskers when he next beheld them were a dazzling green! He returned to London in haste, with head bowed, and before the play was presented the hairdresser was able to apply counteractive chemicals enough to give him less striking appearance.

SERVE SONS OF VETERANS

During the five days of the Confed- crate Veterans reunion, held at Chat tanooga, boy scouts were on duty daily from IS to 20 hours a day. meeting trains, acting as guides and messen- gers, serving sandwiches and coffee, helping manage traffic as well as other small and big offices in behalf of the veterans, who were loud in their praise of their young friends work.
 The following resolution was passed by the Sons of Confederate Veterans in assembly:
 Resolved, by the Sons of Confeder- ate Veterans tbet a special vote of thanks be extsnded to the boy scouts of the city x Chattanooga for the magnificenthanner in which they have discharg ,'their duties during the re- union, and by their untiring efforts in behgf of the veterans of their city ltsVe shown plainly to all the people attending this reunion that they are worthy sons of worthy sires, and that they will keep up the spirit that has made the South famous In song and story"

A HARDING TROOP.

Troop number 12 of Kewanee, H., has been reorganized and is now known as the Harding troop. On organizing, the scout scribe wrote to President Harding asking for an auto- graphed photograph if he cared to send one to the troop that was named after him. The President "came across" and the troop is now the proud possessor of large photograph which bears the inscription "With Saluta- tons to Harding Troop. Boy Scouts, Warren c. Harding"

Practically Every Boy Scout Has the Ability to Render First Aid When Necessary.
A DIFFERENT WAY

In commenting on the service ren- dered by scouts at the American Le- zion convention at Kansas City, Her. bert Corey, journalist makes this interesting comparison:
 "Time was when a kid was more or less of nuisance around such gath ering as this. He was either in the hall, under eyeryone's feet, because he wanted to see, or being barred from the hall, he clustered in windows and looked through doors and saw anyhow. He had no more reverence for authority than an Eskimo has for the Grand Llama. He was engaged in learning something of this world he lives in, and he was learning in the time-honored way in shich boys have learned-by being a.terrible trial to his elders and by not being discour- aged.
 "The boy scout way has been a diff ferent way. All that energy and perseverance and courage that every proper kid displays as a matter of course in the current of his daily life has been turned to good account. In- stead of being nuisance, he has been made into a help. He has been taught to see the dignity and honor of service, too, so that no honorable task seems menial to him, and no obstacle is ever permitted to hold him back. If the Legion-valuing Americanism as 1t does and was shown by the resolutions adopted does not take these boys into full fel- lowship of spirit-strike out that if. The boys are already in"

FOR DEEP SEATED COLDS
Use Nashs Sae in This Manner and Positively Break Up Ba
 Cold in One Niuht.

If your cold is in the chest, and head is all stopped up heat a little Nashs Salve in 8 spoon held over a lighted match, close mouth and inhale the va- DOTS. Head will be cleared instantly. Now apply salve in both nostrils with finger; this is to keep nasal passages open.
 Apply hot wet towels to throat and chest to open pores; take off before cool ing and with hand rub Nash's Salve on liberally-thickly; cover immediately with

warm flannel. Do same to back Arr range bed coverings in sort of tunnel form at chin so that vapors can be in- haled all night. Swallowing a small amount of the salve the size of a pea (slowly) will help.
 This is the "one-night treatment" It works, too. You will find the cold com- pletely broken by morning and can prob- ably go about your duties at once

also have delegates to the game. The milkman at Douglas recently purchas- ed a horse and wagon to deliver milk to his customers. He is planning to drive the new wagon to Warren for the game.
 Efforts to have the Douglas volun- teer fire department come to the game were dropped when it was found both members were on a vacation. No one else would offer to pull the hose reel. Besides, it was pointed out, someone would have to stay in Douglas to keep the moths from eating the rope from the fire bell, which hasn't been rung since the armistice was signed, but may ring out any minute as some of the boys down there are getting care less with their cigarette stubs.
 The Greater Douglas Automobile Club is planning to have it's full mem bership out for the game if he can get his flivver to running. It works good on one cylinder, but the other has been suffering from a nervous break down for several years. However, the automobile club, in which Grover Cleveland is said to have ridden to his inauguration, will be on the job, ever if it is necessary to take the horse from the village sprinkling cart ana hitch it on front.

Chamber President Endorses Celebration as Means of
 District Relaxing

We've been taking life too serious ly in the Warren District for the last year and Ia half; with conditions i'm proving every day its time for us to relax little and enjoy ourselves. am heartily in favor, as president of the chamber of commerce and a resi- dent of the district, of anything that will get the people of the district out once in while and make them forget everything but getting acquainted and having a good time. For those req sons, the chamber of commerce has pledged it's full support toward mak- ing the football game and celebration Saturday afternoon a success"
 This was the endorsement given last night by A. G. McGregor of the Douglas-Bisbee game at Warren Park tomorrow afternoon.
 McGregor, Secretary B. L. Smith and other chamber of commerce off cials, visited scores of local residents and business and professional men yesterday, putting it up to them squarely whether. or not they wanted to see the football celebration staged
 on big scale. Without a dissenting
 opinion everyone interviewed was in
 favor of making tomorrow afternoon 9 semi-holiday.
 It was the general sentiment
 throughout the district that the entire community would feel better if some thing was started" With hundreds interested in the football game, par ticularly since Douglas is arranging
 for a big rooters' motorcade, it was decided to start the something" to- morrow
 Douglas has, on several occasions, entertained hundreds of Warren Dis trict visitors" McGregor pointed out. | Unless we are to appear inhospitable | and.lacking in interest, it is up to us
 to come to life and play the role of | hosts once in awhile"
 While encouraging the friendly. | good-natured rivalry between Douglas | and Bisbee, McGregor pointed out that | the two cities, working together, could
 wield a great deal of influence in ! Southern Arizona to the great benefit | of each.
 l Douglas has never been lacking in l hospitality toward Bisbee," he said.
 NOW it is up to us to get acquainted with the Douglas people. Let them
 know that this is a lively, regular com
 munity and extend every courtesy to
 them when they visit the district Sat urday."

COrOner's Jurors
 Are Warned Not to
 Hold Up Inquests

Judge Craig yesterday impressed upon the members of coroner's juries in his court that it was necessary for them to obey the orders of the court and be there when they were ordered to do SO During the past few weeks he has had occasion to adjourn in quests on account of some juror not reporting for duty when he was or dered. Yesterday morning, when the jury was called for holding an inquest, Juror A. G. Nichols was absent. After waiting some time the court had an other juror sworn in and the jury and the court then had to go to the home of the parents of the little girl to view the body, so that they could make their report.
 After the court and jury had com pleted their work, Judge Craig had a bench warrant issued for Nichols. He was brought into court, reprimanded. and then ordered to pay fine of s20O0.

The Douglas Town Hall

Yet the town hall in Douglas was the scene of much peevishness yester day Tie 234 residents of the village met and decided that the honor of the little hamlet must be upheld and that every Douglas citizen must be in War ren when the game started.
 Here is what the Douglas Dispatch had to say:
 Word was received from one of the Bisbee high school students that the 50 boys and girls who are not mem- bers of the Bisbee team will be on the sidelines to root. If the business houses close, as is planned, Bisbee will be represented at the game by not less than 200 people, according to the Reviews prediction. Not to be outdone by the Hill Rillies. Douglas is planning to send large delegation to Saturdays game"
 The Review investigated and found part of that to be true. Not only will the village be well represented. but a few of Douglas business houses will

Special to The Review)

DOUGLAS, AriZ., Oct. 26.-The foot ball game at Warren on Saturday af- ternoon between Douglas and Bisbee high schools was the sole topic of con- versation today in front of the store and blacksmith shop.
 The village storekeeper became so enthusiastic that he opened a box of dried apples and treated all the boys. Across the street, in front of the black smith shop, Aunt Sarah Peabody held a mass meeting, alternating between a denunciation of Otey Walker. the night watchman. and a plea that all citizens of the Old Home Town go to Warren to cheer the Douglas team.
 Where is the worthless Otey Walk er?" screamed Aunt Sarah. ''The loaf CT, Why aint he roundin' up every body and maxim 'em go to the game? Stop whiting, you loafers, and listen to me: As president of the Anti-Pipe Smoking League, I command every man and woman in Douglas to go to that game and cheer as loud for the home boys as they would for a law against cigarettes."
