A statesman of national reputation
and a member of the house of repre-
sentatives for good may years
while celebrating his S5th birthday
short time ago laughed heartily at
pessimists who are worried over bus
mess recovery.
Americans today, in the rush for
the almighty dollar, forget the bless
ings they enjoy" said the veteran of
hundred political battles.
why, back in my home town, long
years ago, before the days of gas and
electric light, the telephone, electric
railways and other marvellous inven-
tons that have brought comfort to
the people, the folks of the town op-
ened their eyes in amazement at the
sight of an oil lamp in a store win
dow.
Just look back at those days. Well
do remember when the people
thronged down the main street to see
the first kerosene lamp burning in
that shop window. 1t was in the days
of the tallow dip candle. When gas
lighting came. the people scoffed at
this marvel, just as some do today in
discussing the wonderful utility SER
vice of today.
Now, see what we enjoy today, in
life's comforts and conveniences.
Look at the revolutionary changes
gas and electricity and the other
public utility services we have made.
These are the happy days. but so
few of us realize it,"
The Gloomy Gus" of business

Gompers, and nobody doubts that he
will The head of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor is pretending TO see
goblins of autocratic commerc;alism
But he has to pretend to see some
thing. To say that the government
is denying to any body of ruen the
rights they have under the law of the
land is to misinterpret the spirit and
letter of the courts decree that or
der must prevail regardless OF the
fortunes of the strikers or their en-
ployers.
As the Times has said all along the
trains must run. The mails must be
carried. The people must have food
and fuel If the administration is de-
termined, as is reported, to see that
transportation is not paralyzed and
the public welfare endangered, it is
doing no more than is demanded of
1t in the name of the people who are
entitled to look to the government
for the protection of life and property
as well as the right to work or to re-
frain from working. 1
A general strike at this time would
not be an ordinary walk-out. 1t
would be a clear-cut conspiracy to
the nations transporta-
ton. If this conspiracy should be
carried out and it became necessary
to put the railroads under army op-
Grafton the cause of unionism would
receive a deadly blow. Public re-
sentiment would not lie down in the
lifetime of the generations now alive.
Samuel Gompers knows these
hings. The other labor leaders
Inow it, too. But they must go
through the motions of upholding |
heir rights when there is no inten-
ion to deny them.
Bombing the homes of working |
men, wrecking trains, committing
abotage, melting disorder are not to
,e tolerated. But these things are

RIGHT OF FAIRS TO
PARI.MuTUELS UPHELD

Pari-mutuel betting machines may
be used on tracks at county fairs in
Kentucky, under a ruling of the court
of appeals dissolving the injunction
granted last Friday by Circuit Judge
John H. Gillian, restraining the War
rem County Fair Association from
operating machines at it's fair this
week.
Eugene Mithell, stockholder, filed
suit last week for an injunction re-
straining the Warren County Fair
Association from operating pari-mu-
tuel machines at it's track. Judge
Gillian, who heard the case last Fri
day, granted the injunction, holding
that the law allowing the machines
confined >them to the regular race
tracks.
The case was carried to the court
of appeals, and word was received
from Frankfort that the injunction
was dissolved
The decision, being the first test
of rights of county fairs to permit
wagering on horse races with the bet
ting machines, is of wide interest.
The Warren county fair opens today
and will continue four days.

NATIONAL TOBACCO MEETING
PLANNED BY POOL LEADERS

Tobacco cooperative associations
in all parts of the country will be
represented by their executives
counsel, secretaries and warehouse
directors at a meeting to be held
some time this fall, either in Lexing-
ton or Louisville, it was announced
at the offices of the Burley Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association at
Lexington.
The meeting will be in the nature
of a conference to discuss the prob
lens of kindred interest, such as
taxes, possible adverse legislation
against the tobacco industry, farm
conditions over the country and 9th
er items of interest to farmers who
also are tobacco growers.
The conference is being planned
by President and General Manager
James c. Stone, Judge Robert W.
Bingham and Aaron Sapiro, general
counsel of most of the tobacco CO.
operatives, who has had a part in
the organization of all of them, in
Guiding the new ones in Wisconsin
and Connecticut The leaders of the
hurley association have felt that
there are so many matters of mutual
interest to all the tobacco producers
of the country that such a conference
would result in much good to all the
interests concerned.
1t was said that possibility of the
proposed tobacco conference may be
the organization of a national tobac-
co growers cooperative association.
The date for the conference will be
fixed on the return of Judge Robert |
W Bingham from a trip to Europe. |

CONFIDENCE IN AMERICA

W. believe that North Western
employees should show the same
willingness as the Company to
abide by the orders of the Railroad
Labor Board.
L his adjustment is fair. After the
reduction ordered by the Labor
Board, North Western employees
will be paid higher scale than
labor i'm other industries.
L he reductions in rates of grain,
hay and other commodities that
were made effective January l,
1922. together with the reductions
effective July 1, 1922, reduces our
income-based on our 1921 busi-
ness-by S13,900,000.
L he reduction in wages ordered by
the Railroad Labor Board effective
July l, 1922, reduces our expenses
based on 1921 payrolls by
S4,100,000.
A strike by North Western en-
ployes against the decision of the
Railroad Labor Board will not only
destroy at once the confidence
which the years have given the
North Western in its employees, but
it will be a strike against this
country's progress toward pros
perity.
We believe that North Western
employees will continue their faith
in American institutions and let
right and wisdom govern their
actions.
