Strike Solution

Seniority rights" compose the
great barrier facing mediators in
their attempts to end the pro-
tracted strike of railroad shop
men.
Few persons understand just
what these rights" are. Records
show that they were established
by the Labor Board in a decision
handed down in November. 1921,
and that they provided as follows:
Rule 17.-Employes serving on
night shifts desiring day work
shall have preferences when va
cancies occur, according to their
seniority.
Rule 1S.-When. new jobs are
created or vacancies occur IN the
respective crafts the Oldest en-
ployeS, in point of service. shall
IL sufficient ability is shown by
trial, be given preference in fill
ing such jobs or any vacancies
that may be desirable.
Rule 27.-When it becomes
necessary to reduce expenses the
hours may be reduced to forty

force. When the force is reduced

jected diplomatic advice to which it
had every reason to attach impor-
tance.
Lloyd George Blamed.
Those who are now suggesting that
Sir Auckland Geddes should be re-
placed as British ambassador In
Washington do not excuse Prime
Minister Lloyd George. for they re-
member that in answer to Herbert
Asquith's criticisms in the house of
commons ne indicated sympathy with
Lord Balfour's appraisal of the senti-
mental and moral values in connec-
ton with the international financial
situation. Put differently, in effect
he supported the note, as. indeed. he
had done previously. because his cabi-
net or majority Of it approved its
issue.
1t is now hoped that the mistake
which has been made will lead to the
prevalence of more cautious and wiser
counsels in the future. and that
meanwhile the people concerned will
correct any first feelings of bitter
ness. knowing that each desires moth
ing but mutual friendliness and fair

MOVE FLOUR MILL SOUTH.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, August 15.-Wan-
ing of the fiour-milling business in
Minnesota has been given further
evidence by the owners of one of the
largest mills in the state, outside Of
Minneapolis, who announce they will
ship the equipment south. This mill,
located at Sleepy Eye. Mimi, about
fifty miles from St. Paul, has long
been one of the largest interior mills
in the northwest, with a capacity Of
5000 barrels day. The steady de-
cline in the production Of wheat in
this state as dairying and other live
stock raising has gained has reduced
the supply of wheat below needs Of
the mills. Flour quotations at
Minneapolis last week reached the
lowest levels in several years. Pres
ent quotations are considerably less

as In other forms Of insanity, this

OF the sinner is that he believes or
attempts to believe all others equal.

THE madness Of sin Is proved

Of friends and loved ones"
