Louisiana SIandered
About Nothing

The citizens Of this state were
astounded, dumbfounded, and
nonplussed to read in the newspa-
pers last Monday that law and or
der was failing in Louisiana, that
the courts, and the officers and
the Executive were unable to cope
with the situation of lawlessness,
disorder, and revolution run riot.
Some unscrupulous, nimble pen
ned reporter, connected with :.
Washington D. G. newspaper had
given the state credit for every
thing undesirable and unweI-
come, and had hurt its fair name
as it had not been hurt in long
time. To add to the situation the
Governor was on his way to Wash
ington with the Attorney Gene
raj, and it was further stated he
was bound to seek Federal aid
and intervention and the State
was charged with being unequ9i
to the situation. A dan2nable IL
out Of the whole cloth.
While a few irresponsible cit
zens in one or two sect 0ns -
North Louisiana, aida
ahetted and urged ~
the K. K. K, it was stated
had committed some cri.2 es. ha !
either done away wifi or Grir~
ted away some two or t''G2e ind
viduals, and the miscreants
could not be located, and a few
hooded and masked men had civ
en- preachers and others nc 3y,
and had attended coIored church
es and given money there also.
despite the fact that this undea
cover brand of towards are prs
sumed (?) 60 be against C2tholio
Jew, land Negro, but in truth OIL
against the first named, the Sta
is not yet ready to surrender, and
will not surrender to the Invisible
Empire.
Governor Parker availed t'la
lie on his arrival at Washipgto-2
and rightly inferred furtha:
steps would be taken to hold re-
ponsible the untEuth and mo-
eious misrepresentation. CO..
gressman. AS well, inwhose d.
district the less than one per cen
ters are the strongest, did not
fail to get himself notoriety by
a few differences and insinua-
tions, harsh criticism of which
was properly given him in his
district.
While the situation is far from
being serious as the sensational,
lying reporter painted it, it is ne
vertheless far from being a joka.
It developed that Governor
Parker's appointment with Pre-
sident Harding was in re the
removal of Walter Cohen, recent
iy appointed to q berth in the Gus
tom house, and to remind the
President that he had inferred,
if not promised, that he would not
appoint to office in the south, and
in Louisiana, colored men.
Flood control and inland water
ways were said to have been dis
guessed;

the conclusion reached by H. II. Ed

and his associates in Headquarters.
This conclusion is the result of
careful and systematic survey of the

from independent sources. All reports
reveal a surge toward concentration

leases on State school land for ag-
ricultura and grazing purposes.
These reports also come from the
ranks of twenty thousand school di-
rectors, who helped to conduct the
States splendid school system; from
the ranks of seventeen thousand
teachers, a great majority of whom
discourage whims and fancies that

women, who have, in the past IL years
graduated from the common schools
and from the ranks six thousand who
have received diplomas from the

END OF STRIKE 7
ON FIFTY ROADS
UNIONS AGREE TO WAGE CUTS
FIXED BY RAILROAD
LABOR BOARD

Chicago, Sept. 13:-An agreement to
end the shipments strike on vir-
tually one-fourth of the country's 202
Glass One railways was voted today by
the shop crafts general conference
committee Of ninety. :
The list Of roads, actually involved in
the negotiations was not made public
when the agreement was given out and
so far as known late tonight none of
them had signed the peace pact. It
was said that the strike would con-
tinue on those roads which do not sign
up, although the hope was strongly ex-
pressed that they, too, might join in the
same settlement later.
Under tho terms Of The "memoran-
dunn of agreement as given out by
the union leaders Immediately after
the end Of the three days meeting Of
the policy committee, the strikers would
return to work under the present rate
of pay, which is that fixed by the
United States Railway Labor hoard
and which became effective July /, the
day the men walked out. The wage
reduction was one of the reasons given
for the strike call. In all, it amounted
to approximately $50,ooo,o0o a year in
wages for the 100000 men involved.
Seniority, the one great issue which
arose Immediately after the strike went
into effect, and which blocked all earl
ier efforts toward peace, was net men
toned in the new agreement, although
it was provided that thc men return to
work in "positions of the class' they
held before the strike began. Also it
was provided that disputes over the
relative standing of old and new men
would be referred to "a board Of six
rail officials and an equal number of
representatives of the strikers.
Preparations for ordering the men
back to work on the roads parties to
the agreement were begun tonight in a
meeting of the executive council, at.
tended by the international officers of
the six shop crafts.
