SENIORITY

The railroad strike which began in wage wrange
comes to its real crisis in dispute seniority rights
The President may be right in demanding that this question
along with all other differences shall be subugat. to
getting rail service back normal but there problem
in raiiroadng which needs thorough airing and
readiustment
Even when there is strike in question: seniority is
delicate matter The striking shopmen believe that the
luctance of rail heads to waive the point in this issue will
throw public opinion to the shop workers. This by
certain.
AS a general proposition, when there is waiting line
any who steps out of it voluntarily loses his place and
take up his position at the end of the line if he returns
The shopmens is complicated further by their indie
pendent and begeren attitude at the beginning of the
strike and by the fact that the seniority which they
demand nereres with the rights of other who stayed
in line No iveth strketh to himself alone
The whole question calls for the most careful hand-
ing. If the rail heads finally accede to the Presidents
request and return the strikers to full seniority they will
ample right to demand that they safe
in doing.
The great right to assured seniority in any business
profession supermposes upon those who enjoy equally
duty in reliability continuous service and obedience
to constituted authority Unless those who observe
the duty those who employ cannot justly be asked to
fer the right.

of slim gave him credit for true patriotism
and supported his with cheers and outpoured funds
This time none but blind partsans regard him

Irish people He stands for small band of macontents
standing in the of peace in Ireland. The Irish
Free State does not ebody all that the republicans plan
ned achieve but it does represent very marked pro-
gress toward freedom and seovernnent and and
prosperity The great maory of the Irish people in
favor of it, they have demonstrated at the polls
Mr. De Valera obsessed with idea rather than led
by honest hope for his people He is using his undenable
ability against his people instead of for them although he
appears not to realize that If the United States treats
him and his arguments they deserve to be treated with
cold Indifference and logical opposition they may do Ire
land far good than they did before by their gifts of

One-Minute Essay

Though clouds generally appear sta
tionary, they are really descending
slowly, but their lower parts are dis
sipated by air more highly heated and
their upper portions become increased
by fresh condensations. For this rea.
son their descent is disguised and they
have a comparatively stationary ap-
pearance. Clouds are generally higher
during the day than at night, and are
higher in tropics than in polar regions.
Some forms of clouds are higher
than others. Their mean height III
winter is from 1900 to 1900 yards
from earth s surface, and in summer
from 3400 to 4400 yards. Some clouds
actually touch earth and form fog.
Other forms go as high as six and one
