STRIKES CAN Be AVERTED
Leaders Should Farley Before Strike
Not After, Says Secretary Davis.

Los Angeles, Nov. 1S.-James j.
Davis. secretary of labor, in an address
at the Labor Temple here last night,
opposed strikes on the theory they
could be averted easily by mutual un-
derstanding between labor and capital.
He defended child labor laws and ad-
vocated a strict immigration law.
Strikes might easily be averted if
the committees representing both Ia
Dor and capital would meet around
council tables sixty days before a strike
instead of waiting sixty days after"
he said.
The man who advocates cheap Ia
Dor is not much of an American to my
notion of thinking.
Il am opposed with all my heart
and soul to the so-called living wage.
1t is not American for a man to re-
ceive just enough to live on. If a man
is only to get Just enough for his toll
to pay all the bills on Saturday night,
I say it is all wrong in our land"

LEASE OF PANHANDLE
BY PENNSY PROTESTED,
INJUNCTION is SOUGHT
tBy Associated Presse

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21-The
Continental Insurance company, of
New York, has filed an equity suit in
federal court here for an injunction
to prevent the consunation of the pro-
posed leasing Of the Pittsburg, Cincin-
natl, Chicago and ST. Louis railroad
company known, as the Panhandle"
of the Pennsylvania railroads for a
term of 999 years
The action was based on the ground
that it is a virtual transfer of the Pan.
handle property to the Pennsylvania
railroad, and that the common stock
holders of the Panhandle stand to
lose large amounts in dividends.
Under the proposed lease the Penn
sylvania is to pay the Panhandle suf
ficient to cover the operating and the
fixed charges and the common stock
holders are to receive dividends oi
four per cent for five years and i've
per cent thereafter.
AS the Panhandle has earned al
least six per cent by its own opera
tions it is averred that the conditions
of the proposed lease are unreason
able, unjust and unfair.

Ralston Has Chance
To Lead His Party
If He Wins in Fall
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU


WASHINGTON, Aug 21.-Democ-
racy has elected but two presidents
since the Civil war, Grover Cleveland
and Woodrow Wilson and both came
into prominence not through Washing
ton but in their respective states. They
were prominent governors of impor-
tant states.
Two years ago the Democrats nom
mated for the presidency the governor
of Ohio, Mr.. Cox, but it is doubtful if
there will be an outstanding Demo
cratic governor of one of the pivotal
states for Democracy to bestow its
presidential nomination upon in 1924
In the several states which will elect
governors this year there are no Demo
cratic candidates who have been ap.
praised as possessing presidential
qualifications, unless the Democrats OF
New York nominate former Governor
Smith. His nomination is doubtful
however for the indications are that
Mayor Hylan of New York city will
enter the contest against him, backed
by William Randolph Hearst and his
present ally, Tammany Hall.
With the prospect of an unusually
poor crop of governors to select from
in 1924 many political prophets in
Washington are of the opinion that
