from Chicago and was received by
Mr.. Pretty early this afternoon.
The text OF the telegram follows:
Newspapers indicate that some

separate agreement with the shop
crafts in an effort to settle the
strike. The Rock Island is not one
of these railroads and has no iuten
tion of entering into any negotiation
with striking employees relative to q
settlement of the strike.
"The Rock Islands position is ex
aetly the same today as 1t has been
since the strike was started, that is
former employees acceptable hiring
officers will be taken back, but only
as new men. Give positive assurance
to all present employees that theiI
jobs are secure and that they will be
continued in our employ just as long
as their services are satisfactory tC

Suggest that all publicity possible
be given this message. See that all

New York Sept. 1i5-Agreemen
between two of the powerful big
four railroad brotherhoods and thir-
teen carriers for renewal OF present
wage contracts Will be reached this
afternoon. according to w. G. Lee,
president OF. the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen. Lee and l.. II. Shep-
pard. president OF the Order OF Rail-
way Conductors. together with tho
chairman and secretaries OF the gen

rail executives in a closed session
here.
The meeting was called by A. II.
Smith. president Of the New York

The new agreement which would
not only continue the present wages
of conductors. bfakemen, baggage
men. flagmen. yard foremen. help
ers. switch tenders. but would also
continue in force all rules governing
working conditions is expected To
be signed late today. Lee said.
I'VE are near an agreement and
will sign this afternoon" Lee told
! the United Press.
1--WE only differed on few minor
points and these can easily be
smoothed out
The pending settlement means
that all questions of wages and
working conditions previously re-
ferred to the United States railroad
labor board, since July /, 1921, will
be understood as having been dis.
posed Of to the satisfaction of the
two brotherhoods and the thirteen
carriers.
The labor board will be notified
/ of the mutual agreement ana Will

According to Lee, arrangements

Whether Tor not negotiations be-

VERDICT ON ANOTHER
DUE THIS AFTERNOON

BY late this afternoon, possibly
before, Grady county should have
another gas well.
This was made known late yester-
day evening when it was announced
that the LeMaster. Muse ct al, on
the Cook and Hollister lease in the
northeast of southeast of southwest
of section 26-5n-Sw, drilled the ce-
ment plug out and drilled the sand
yesterday evening They were
scheduled to start bailing dur
ing this morning and it was expect
ed that this afternoon, verdict
would be reached.

1t was expected that the well
would result in a gasser as the
sand picked up indicated as much.
1t was thought hardly probable that
the well would result in an oiler
at this time, but there seemed to
be no doubt, in the opinion of oil
men that it would make producer.

.EDUCATION AND THE BALLOT

:. 9. (. . :, {. G. (. {.
In the Revolutionary war the AM
erican people fought and won the
struggle for independence and the
principle Of self government. They
waged war fer the freedom Of the
seas in 1912. They battled for the
emancipation of the slaves in 1861.
The she'd their blood for the freedom
of Cuba and other Spanish colonies
from oppression in 1898. A few years
ago they sacrificed thousands OF
young lives IN order that autorracy
might be crushed and the principle
Of democracy and self-governme2t
preserved and established throughout
the world.
In ever crisis, therefore, the Am
ericna people have proved that they
are willing to lay down their lives II
necessary in order that we may pre-
serve a democratic government for
ourselves and extend its blessings to
those less fortunate than ourselves.
There can therefore be no question as
to the stability and permanency o.
democracy in this country against
foreign aggression. Would it not be
well, therefore, to inquire whether
our government is as safe from inter
nal aggression as it is from foreign
foes?
In their zeal for the democratic
form of government tie American
people have at various times extend
ed the suffrage to an increasing pro-
portion of the population. The prop
erty limitations on suffrage in the
early part of the nineteenth century
were removed; no limitations m SUI
frage may be made ''by reason Of
race, color, Or previous condition OF
s::rvitude"; only a few states require
al educational qualifications; and fin
s'ly by constitutional amendment Wo-
r:en are enfranchised on the same ba-
IS as men. In form. therefore, our
government has steadily become more
end more democratic.

X There can be no public opinion
and the ballot box may be worse than
us seless unless the American people
are acquainted with the :2"oblems o.:
the locality, the state, and the nation,
which problems, it may be noted,
seem always to increase in complex
ity. Popular education. therefore, is
absolutely essential to the success of
a democratic government. Without
It the people lose their ability to pro-
tect themselves and to promote most
effectively the common interests.

WEEKLY CROP REVIEW.

A summary of the weather and crop
conditions in Kentucky for the week
ending July %, 1922, follows:
The temperature during the week
average near normal, but the nights
we're quite cool. Good rains in the
southern and western counties furn-
ished sufficient moisture but there
was a deficiency in the northeastern
district, where only scattered showers
occurred. Corn made satisfactory
progress and its condition is excellent
in the southern and western districts.
1t is fair to good in the northeastern
section, but is firing" in places on
hillside land. Corn, pastures and all
other crops need rain badly in the
Licking Valley, the central bluegrass
region, and the extreme northeastern
counties. Early corn is earring well
generally. There was some damage to
hay by rain near the beginning of the
week; but in the main the weather
was favorable for hay harvest, which
was completed. The week was favor
able for thrashing wheat, which is
nearing completion. Thrashing oats is
in progress with poor yields in most
districts. Except for considerable
rust in certain localities in the west
ern counties, early tobacco is gener-
ally excellent and far advanced for
this time in the season. Most of it has
been topped, and the soil moisture is
sufficient for proper spreading except
in the northern hurley district where
there is complaint of firing" Late
tobacco is generally doing well, but is
uneven in size. 1t needs rain in the
northern counties. Pastures. gardens
clover and alfalfa continued to make
satisfactory growth in all of the state
except the dry northeast, where their
| condition is only fair
