From Jobs

RICHMOND, Va, July 28.-
Jazz 'em off the job" Is the
new slogan passed along to the
pretty girl strikers here.
Given q waxed floor, a jazz
band, cooling breezes and a
flow Of soft, sweet words, q
Virginia beauty is just about
empress Of all she surveys.
All this explains why some of
the male railroad clerks who
refused to walk off the job
last week have Joined the ranks
of the strikers during the past
twenty-four hours.
Enjoined against picketing
the strike-breakers on company
property, the striking unions
engaged a dance hall here,
sent special delivery invitations
to the strike-breakers to at
tend
The girl strikers did the
rest. Thus Richmond strikers
set the pace for winning the
strike with jazz.
The first venture was so sue
cessful that q series Of such
dances will be held.

ton still remains the sixteenth city

1920, the department announced to-
day.
Washington follows Baltimore on
the list, the Monumental City postal
stations having taken in s4,427,5b7

SETTLEMENT Of
... WELFARE HOME:
DISPUTE NEAR
Joint Conference Committee
From Two Bodies Thresh
Out Differences.

Agreement between the trustees Of
the Wisconsin Avenue Industrial
Home School and the Board Of Chill
dren's Guardians on the future con-
duct Of the institution was predicted
today by F. w. McReynolds, presi.
dent of the board OF trustees.
A joint conference Of committees
from the two bodies was held In Mr..
McReynolds' office in the Evans
building today, and the situation Wac
discussed from all angles.
Prospects for a settlement are
bright" Mr.. McReynolds said. I'VE
will have another meeting in a day or
two and probably then we shall ar
rive at some definite conclusion"
The fight centers on the divided
authority Of the two boards over
children committed TO the home
school by the Board OF Children's
Guardians. The latter organization
contends that, being legal guardians
Of the children. no lessening Of their
authority is effected by placing the
children In the home school. The
trustees, on the other hand, believe
that the children should recognize
the school authorities as their sn'
periors and should be left at the In.
stitution until proper private homes
are found for them. The trustees
also state that children should re
main throughout the school year for
the benefit Of their education.
w. w. MILAN, president of the
guardians board. said, following the
meeting, that all important points at
issue were considered by the two
committees. but that one or more
meetings would be necessary to in
sure settlement Of the school qucs
ton.
The trustees committee is com
posed OF Mr.. McReynolds, J. HadlcI
Doyle and Frank r. Jelleff. Mr.
MILAN, Judge George c. Aukam and
Judge J. Wilmer Latimer represent
the guardians board.

English Typewriter Agent Mys.

". Liner.
By IpternatIonai News Service.


NEW YORK, July 2S.-Edward A.
Seitz, fifty-nine years old, OF Atlanta,
Ga, English agent for the Corona
Typewriter Company. mysteriously
disappeared from the American liner
President Roosevelt, some time be-
tween 1 o'clock this morning and |
the time when the steamship reached
Quarantine. three hours later.
The absence Of Seitz was noted |
when the immigration officials
boarded the ship at Quarantine.
The ship was searched continu-
ously until she docked at Hoboken,
N. j., but without results.
Mr.. Seitz was last seen standingl
on the port side of the promenade
deck of the shi pabout l o'clock or|
just before the pilot boat approached
the liner. When the vessel reached
quarantine no trace Of him could be
found.
Foul Play Feared.
Friends expressed the fear that the
missing man might have met with
foul play and had been thrown over
board. In support Of this theory,
they declared that he had f125 stcr.
ling in English money in his pockets
when he left the other side In addi-
ton to q large roll Of American cur.
rency.
When Mr.. Sietzs stateroom was
searched his wallet was found on q
little sidetable, but 1t contained only
$57. His watch and chain were on
the table alongside the wallet.
Suggestions of possible suicide
were discounted by the discovery
that Mr.. Seitz had packed his grips
and, trunk in readiness to leave the
steamer.
At Gay Dinner Party.
II was learned that Mr.. Seitz had
attended a dinner on shipboard last
night, and remained in company with
some Of the diners. including Ray.
mond Pottle, q wealthy London ma
chinery manufacturer: William SipE
a Chicago banker; Major and Mrs.
Charles Z. Livingstone, of New York.
and Miss Annie K. Porter, Of Phila.
| delphia, until after midnight.
All his companions agreed that he
was in the lightest of spirits Slring
the dinner, and, in fact. had been in 4
cheerful mood all the way over.
Friends expressed the opinion
that II would have been well nigh
| impossible for Mr.. Seitz to have
| fallen overheard. especially from
4 the promenade deck. The last per.
son said 10 have seen the missing
man was Major Livingstone. The
major said he left his friend stand
ing near the, rail- on the port side
Of the deck about o'clock. He
said he wished to wait to see the
pilot ship come up. Mr.. Pottle had
left the missing man on the same
deck about thirty minutes earlier.
Pottle, who had known Seitz for
about four years. said he knew
from his own personal knowledge
that Seitz had about $500 in Eng
lish money. The bar room steward
said that Seitz visited the bar room
for about ten minutes about 10
o'clock and had not been in since.

We defy anyone to give any specific

We defy anyone to give any specific
instance where we have "counten-
anced any injustice" There has been
very little, if any, disorder, when
one considers the number of men in
volved and the feeling that is always
engendered in an economic battle of
this character. Several successive U.
S. marshals stationed here have told
us that the men were perfectly peace
full and that. there was little for them
to do here. The strikers meetings
and committees have been quiet and
peaceful A few sporadic instances
have been cited in our columns where
trouble was caused by liquor addicts.
But nothing Of this kind has occur
red for some time back. The lead
ers of the strike have felt that on the
good behavior Of their men depend
ed the sympathy Of the community
and they have. therefore bent every
effort to have, nothing, occur that
would arouse public sentiment again
st them. Y They have everything to,
lose and nothing to gain by any dis
order. 1t is we'll to remember this,
and at,least give them the benefit of
any doubt that may exist.
-. As-for our relations with the Off
cials Of the road there have been
no personal feelings as far as we
know. We have always been court
eous and willing to listen to any
complaint made and do our best to
remove any just cause for such COM
plant. In any visits we have made
to the officials on business matters
we have met with courtesy and con-
sideration. We have not appointed
a lot of special policemen to stand
around at public expense, because
we did not think. them necessary. We
requested the transfer of Yard Off,
Ger Nolan because we believed that
his presence here, might lead to
trouble. We understand this re-
quest was referred to as having come
from the strikers, which it had not.
The company's agent requested that
he remain here for time and moth
ing further was said, and later su ch
agent. reported that Nolan had been
transferred to some other place. We
are ready at any time to authorize
the appointment Of officers for the
yards whom can be shown to have
the qualifications one would reason
ably expect of, such officers. We have
advised against the city's officers re-
ceiving any gratuities from the rail
road company. -:

away to the fools, if any of them can
use it in some way to their best. But
if am a man, who wants to do my
life work and fill my place as hu-
man being in my life time, the an
swer is this, there is an abundance Of
good both in the country and in the
city. But to be more definite, there
is some good to be found in the city,
that. generally cannot be found in
country life. And there is some good
to be found in the rural life, that will
be lost in the city, if we like. it or
not. + 81. .::zrs, -. t., -s=.esr.>
In later years a steady stream of
people have gone from the rural dis
tricts to: the cities. What about that?
Well, yes that is true. Some2of the
younger folks have come to live with
no more Of an aim than to simply
live and spend money, that fathers
worked for. Those are the. idle
drones in life, the good-for-nothings
But a number of people come to find
some kind Of work and by their earn
ings. live in the city and get a home
there. Those are the people I like
to come in communication with in this
writing to Willmar. Tribune, as wish
to benefit some Of them, if I can.
Many Of those, that in the past
times came, found out sometime ear
lier or later, that the nice dreams that
they had beforehand about the. city
life did not by far. come true. Some
Of what they expected of good, did
not come at all. And some bad they
never had in mind, come very heavy
on them. But they had moved, led
on by beautiful dreams, spent all or
most Of the money and tied their
hands down hard, so they had to stay
and make the best possible out of it.
Some of them have later said, we
better see the ground beneath, be-
fore We leap from ythe window sill
and out of the, house to find a new
place to live. But by many disap-
pointments and after learning many
of the crooked ways of the glorious
city life, it little by little came bet-
ter to them. In the city one person
has to live by or from the other. And
one likes to get the most out of the
other fellow that he can. And that is
where the newcomer often will suffer
and have. bad experiences at first.
And if he has wrong ideas of life,
he will soon learn to do the: Same
crooked things against others. That
is to say, he will be a good: 4deal
worse, than he was before coming to
the city: If he has good principles
for life, he will have to think ten
times before he goes into something
so he shall not be cheated by city
