CORRoBORATE STATEMENT

CHICAGO, July 20.-The railroad executives through their Western Presidents Committee on Public Relations, yesterday issued state ment corroborating what Chairman Ben w. Hooper said concerning the possibilities for further peace nego- tiations with the striking shopmen. The Executive declared that no further peace conference were being held and that the, chief stumbling block to further discussions was the question of restoration of seniority rights to the strikers. The company's gave the strikers an ultimatum that unlss they. returned to work by July 10 last they would lose their sen iority rights. New lists have been since prepared with the names of such of their old~men as remained on the job and the new employees add ed. The railroads feel now that it would be a breach of trust to the workers who remained faithful not to stand by their pledge concerning the seniority rights.
The Cordova daily times., 1922-07-20

B. Jewell of the Federated Shop Crafts Unions in an optimistic state- ment issued today asserted that the strike was daily becoming more eff fective, and predicted that within the next two weeks the railroads would captiulate and give in to the de- mands of the men. The prediction that the strike will last at least two more weeks carries but cold com fort to an embarrassed public which is already beginning to feel the stringency caused by the interrlp- tion and curtailment of railroad traf- fife. The impartial observer is not so confident as Jewell about even such an early ending of the strike as the union chief predicts. The pub- lie sees both sides and the Railway Labor Board admitting that present prospects of a peace by settlement have gone a-glimmering. Both the companies and the strikers have ap- parently settled down to grim test of strength each seeking to wear out the, other by the slow pro- cess of attrition. The union officials yehemently assert that there is no chance of their agreeing to any set tIement which does not restore sen- jority rights to the strikers. If the moderates as represented by the Labor Board could find satlsfac- tory solution of this problem some- thing might be quickly done to get the men back to ther work benches. The effect of the coal strike is al so being felt and that the latter dis turbance is commencing to be prime factor in the rail situation. Many of the roads already admit that they are suffering from fuel short age, and several lines have reported that their fuel supplies are practically exhausted All of the companies re- port that the curtailmnt of train op- erations is slowly but steadily in creasing until now a total of PAY trains have been withdrawn. In this respect the lines serving the south- western sections of the country are the hardest hit.

ROAD TO EASE

A blsck.skrnned Algonquin Indian canoes down to the Hud-
son Bay post at Bear Island, Ontario. he brings a story
about an Eskimo in the far north VINO mas famed polar pears
and trained them to do his heavy teamlng:
Big game hunters will doubt it, for the folar bear has a
body about as large as a piano box and Ii one OF the most
ferocious and cunning of all animals.
The incident. however, sets you thinking about the ire
mendous amount Of work that man has passed on on domes-
ticated animals. He has made slaves of horses, cattle, chick
Eskimo dogs. eamels, elephants and a host of others.
OF all these. horses are the most intelligent. Elephants
come second. In India they are trained 10 WORK all DAY on
such tasks as moving and piing logs.
Anv old man can recall when farmers USED dogs, running
on q tread1nin. to churn butter. Horses were similarly used to
operate ~threshing machines.
Man is a parasite.
Until the invention of the steam engine, his existence de-
pended almost entirely on his parasitic use OF animal ana veg
etable life. D..
The steam engine ushered in a new era Of power. Previ-
o,s1v there were few instances of man using power not gen.
Grated by animals such as wind moving SAILING shlps ana
water mower turning the prayer wheels OF India.
Gradually we are shifting from our position as a parasite
on animal and vegetable life. The auto is relieving the morse.

beinp produced alphabetically in laboratories instead OF by
Growing and killing plant life. Where we once preyed ex-
clusiveiy on trees, a form of plant life, Tor our dwellings, we
turn TO brick, concrete and metals like iron.
In school, you studied about the three Kingdoms OIL nature
animal, vegetable and mineral.
Man rose to his present state by being a parasite on the
animal and vegetable kingdoms. Slowly but surely ne is re-
laying his grip on these and fastening himself as a parasite on
the mineral kingdom. A good illustration is taxing OIL out OF
tho ground instead of getting it by killing whales and hogs.

BANKERS GOING INTO TRADE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Now
that the business depression Is over
