United States whose address could be
obtained an urgent insistence that

He quotes an alleged statement of
the National Fertilizer association to
the effect that the Ford offer will

Congress and advises that to prevent
the naturalization of the boast Ferd

communication Silver declares that
III every instance those who stand for

of the people, whereas, those oppos-

NEW ERA ARRIVES
FOR SETTLEMENT J.
OF STR|KES---LEE.
Decentralization of Wages,
Rules and Negotiations Have
Set In, Says Head of the
Railroad Trainmen

Cleveland, October 10.-Methods
of settling wages and working
agreements between the big four
transportation brotherhoods and the
railroads has entered new era, and
if the present course of negotiations
is continued the country, for several
years at least, will not be threatened
with a complete tie-up of railroad
transportation through a concerted
strike Of these brotherhoods on all
lines, w. G. Lee, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
said today.
Tho situation which developed In
1915 as result of the eight hour
fight and again last fall. when the
trainmen, conductors, engineers and
firemen's brotherhoods sent out ma
tionwide strike orders, probably will
not again occur.
Decentralization of all wages, rules
and working negotiations and re-
turn to the system prevailing for 20
years prior to the time when the four

big four" brotherhoods has already
set in, in the view Of Mr.. Lee.
The new alignment probably will
find the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and the Order of Railway
Conductors in one gHoup and the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firmen and Enginemen and the
Switchmen's Union of North America

organization to better advantage, TO
get more for my men and to work
more effective all around if the train
men and conductors go it alone, so
far as wages and working rules are
concerned Mr.. Lee said.
This whole business, with all rail
road labor unions on one side and all
railroads on the other. with the rail-
road labor board in between got too
big for any one man or few men

WAY SOUGHT TO
END ALL STRIKES
Congress Studies Labor Prob
Iems-Grieves Says Unions
Have Place
BY Associated Press

Cleveland, October 10.-The ques-
tion of Industrial relations occupied
the attention of the American con-
gress tonight, the congress seeking
a way to prevent strikes and lockouts
as a means of ending industrial war
fare.
w. A. Grieves of Columbus, chair
man of the industrial relations divis-
ion of the congress, in an address de-
clared that the mining congress, rep
resenting employers of a million and
a half workers, was determined to
apply itself with energy to cam
paign to secure increased harmony
in industrial relations through crea-
ton of confidence between workers
and employers.
There is no antagonism to unions"
he declared. Unions have their place
In the Industrial scheme. The neces-
sity of unions was brought about by
the fact that industry has been lax
to a large degree in recognizing the
value of education as applied to IN
dustrial cooperation. Cooperation
is as mucir part of a days work as
any other element of industrial opera
ton.
There is no panacea which can be
applied generally. There are no two
methods of industrial cooperation.
Each carries its own distinctive con-
ditions."

PLANS TO ORGANIZE
BUREAU FOR BETTER
BUSINESS FORMED

Plans for organizing a Better Busi-
ness bureau in Birmingham were
launched at the meeting of the retail
division of the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday. Joseph II. Love-
man was appointed chairman of
committee to study the matter and
communicate with bureaus in other
cities. After exhaustive investi-
cation, this committee will make
to the chamber and,
it is hoped the organization of
bureau in Birmingham will result.
Aims of the Better Business bureau
movement are to elevate the ethics
of retail business, Mr.. Loveman said,
and to raise the standards of adver-
Using. Everything that looks to the
building up of a more wholesome
spirit among retail business men will
come under the domain of the
bureau, Mr.. Loveman said.

CHINESE "HAUNTs.

From The Quest of the Golden
Fleece" by Roy Chapman Andrews,
in Asia Magazine.
On the eve of our departure for
Sianfu. while We were quietly smok-
ing behind the paper screen that
separated the main room from the
temple courtyard, we suddenly heard
just in front of us shot and the
sound of falling body and heart
rending means. We dashed out and
found a man lying on the floor while
one of the brigands was uncon-
cernedly reloading his Mauser pis-
toll. Our boy" An, who for 8 years
had been mo. /" in the German le-
cation. was in a state of great ex-
element. With considerable diff
Guilty we learned that the brigand
had been showing An his pistol, and
that An had discharged 1t acciden-
tally. 1t was fortunate for us that
the villager who got the bullet was
Collins was sitting in the direct line
of fire and otherwise would have
been killed. l did my best for the
wounded man, but the bullet had
smashed the femur and / knew he
would never walk again. His leg
should have come off, but I had no
facilities for amputating 1t there, and
even If 1 could have performed the
operation. his family would not have
consented.
The next morning An settled the
matter with the wounded man for $50
(s10 in United States currency. The
mans mother was in a frenzied state
until the money had been paid.
Three days in Sianfu were few
enough, but both of us had so much
to do in Picking that we could not
linger. Almost Immediately after we
set off again, An, our boy" became
very much depressed. He had had a
series of small misfortunes whereby
he 'lost face" and he decided that
the man whom he had shot at Ling
taimiao must have died and that the
mans spirit was pursuing him in re-
venge. This sounds absurd to a
Westerner. but it is very real to a
Chinese. He knows for example,
that an enemy who wishes to haunt
him may commit suicide on his door
step, in order to accomplish that end.
Ans dependency at the idea of
ghostly persecution increased until
finally he lost his mind. Argue as we
would he answered only that the
man was dead, that the spirit was
following him and that he, too, must
die-there was no other course. His
misery came to a climax at Kwang-
yingtang. He awoke us at / o'clock
in the morning and begged me to
kill him or at least to lend him my
rifle so that he might commit suicide.
We got him safely to Picking, and l
sent one of my servants to attend
him in his own home, but he finally
disappeared and jumped into the ca
nal. He had no luck even in this eff
fort to bring about his own death,
for the water reached only to his
waist and policeman fished him
out. Now he is in hospital. hope

shot did not die, but for poor An
