limitations OF Settlement Appear
AS Labor Board Con-
VenSS

CHICAGO, June 3O.-The eyes of
the nation centered today on the
United States Railroad Labor board
as the only visible agency to avert a
nationwide strike of shopmen, which
has been authorized to begin to-
morrow morning.
Even as reports arrived that the
shopmen are preparing to quit their
jobs, intimations Of a settlement re-
sulting orders countermanding the
strike cali were heard.
Rumors of a compromise to be
submitted by the Labor Board at its
meeting this afternoon had it that
the railroads will agree to abolish
the system of farming out work to
contractors, which was one of the is
sues in the strike referendum and
controversy in which the Labor Board
has ruled against several roads. With
this concession by the carriers as a
partial victory for the union men,
their leaders are said to be manifest
ing a disposition to cancel tomor-
rows strike order and accept a wage
reduction. tth
Assurance that the railroads and
employees will abide by the law and
orders of the United States Railroad
Board was basis on which the fed
eral body pinned its hopes for throt-
Ting the threatened railroad strike.

Mice and rabbits often do serious
damage by girdling the bark Of young

ter. Where the tree Is entirely gir-
died, practically the only remedy Is
bridge grating, and this can be done

the sap flows. The United States De-

cut edges Of the bark and the ex-
posed wood can be prevented from
drying out and dying by packing with
earth, II near the ground; by wrapping
with paper or burlap. or by painting
with coal-tar creOsote tree paint. This
material should never be used near
grating time, MS II will kill the cut
