Chicago, Sept. 19.-(By the A. PO
Adjustment of Misunderstanding
and differences which delayed expect
ed settlement of the railway shop
mems strike on some of the roads
favorable to the Baltimore peace ar
rangements was apparent Today.
There were rising hopes that Bert
M. Jewell, the shop crafts leader
would iron out with officials of the
New York Central lines differences
which prevented an agreement be-
tween striking shopmen and the
roads which form the New York Cen
trail system These hopes were
strengthened when the Southern Rail
way, the Mobile and Ohio, controlled
by the Southern and the Monon, fell
in line with roads accepting the Balti-
more plan and signed the agreement
Many strikers on these roads were
expected back today at the jobs they
left July /, when the nation wide
shopmen's strike began.
Reports of general return to work
by striking shopmen on roads which
agreed to the Baltimore plan brought
predictions by union leaders that the
'timated number Of $4,000 returned
strikers on various roads would be
doubled within few days.

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State Journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I was mar
ried last April and already have my
problems. My husband is very care
less. He never puts things back
of this to him many times. but it does
no good. He calls me his partner and
yet he never tells me anything that
happens to him or his friends. He
tells his folks and friends and they
tell me. When ask him why he did
mt tell me he always says, Il never
thought anything about it," Then if
say anything more about it he gets
angry and goes uptown.
L love my husband dearly and he
says he loves me. but he always gets
angry at me when we talk of his
BROWN EYES.
When a man is careless by nature
it is very difficult TO teach him to be
orderly. BY nagging you might be
able to get him to put away his be-
longings, but you would make his life
miserable and he would hate you for
it. Stop to consider how much time
it would take each day to put away
his things and then decide whether
il is worth your while to worry so
much about that fault. It might be
and let him enjoy home in his own
way.
It is difficult to tell you how to en-
courage your husband to talk to you
as he does to his family and friends.
1t should mean something to you
that he says you and he are partners.
because it shows he really wants to
be. Perhaps you do not spend enough
time with him. Often a wife works
around the house in the evening, do
ought to spend her time with her
husband IL she wants his confidence.

Motorists of the United States are
moro than seventy million dollars
richer as a result of the recent cent
cut in the price of gasoline says a bull
letin issued by the National Automo-
bile Chamber OF Commerce. Esti-
mates of fuel consumption per motor
vehicle range from $50 TO $50 gallons
annually. Taking the former figure,
which was estimated from United
States bureau of mines reports on to-
tai domestic consumption. the saving
to each motorist on a cent cut is 81
annually. and to the motoring public,
which numbers ten and one-half mill
lion. the saving is $73,5OO.O0O. A re-
duction in gasoline prices is said to
be particularly beneficial to the
farmer. who not only owns one-third
of the motor cars. but also uses
100000 gasoline-consuming station

this question led to civil war in West
Virginia is cited as proof that it would
be for the best interest OF everybody
concerned to have this question of the
right to organize settled, one way or
the other, beyond all question and for
may be made for all the fundamentals
in industrial relations
Without such an industrial code, it
is pointed out, arbitrations of labor
disputes become mere trading affairs
in which the better trader triumphs.
1t is all very well to say that arbitra-
ton means a settlement on the basis
of what is sound and just, but what
is the rule or yardstick with which to
ferent arbitrators will have different
ideas. If the determination is solely a
matter of opinion. Confidence in
courts is not based upon confidence
in the integrity and wisdom of the
judges, but rather upon the fact that
the judges are governed by an organic
law, by precedents and by a procedure
that is universal in its application.
Such in substance is the case that
is being made for the establishment
of an industrial code in these trying
days of almost constant strife between
capital and labor. President Harding
himself has advocated such a code
and there are evidences of d growing
popular belief that strikes and lock-
outs can be made unnecessary and un-
desirable when both labor and capital
have the assurance that their differ
ences will be adjusted by q tribunal
in which they have confidence, on the
basis of certain rules or principles that
they know to be fair and that are ap-
plicable to all workers and to all en-
p1oyers.
