Stratton ball club has certainly
got the jinx on Cheyenne Wells
for some cause or other. In the
game which was played at Strat.
ton last Sunday the local team
had no grounds to loose it as the
score was all in our favor in the
early part of the game. It just
seemed that we could not play
ball and the number Of errors
made on both sides would fill the
Denver Pest sport page. After
the errors were chalked up the
score was then Tailed and we
had the short end which read
seven and eight.

HEAD OF SOUTHERN
APPEALS TO EMPLOYEES

| WASHINGTON, D. C-Aug. s.
| Fairfax Harrison, president of the
Southern Railway appealed to all en-
ployes of the railroad system to assist
the management in performing its du-
ty to the public and to the company.
The railroad executive declared the
Southern Railway had more than
fulfilled its duty to the striking shop
employees in endeavoring to get them
to resume work under the terms of
President Harding's strike settlement
offers, which were rejected by the
shop crafts committee today.
In rejecting the offer the shopmens
representatives told the railway exec
utives in conference, that the strike
was national and must be settled ma
tionally. The conference was called at
the request of Vice President Miller
of the Southern Railway and the shop
men were informed that the Southern
Railway and the Mobile and Ohio were
willing to agree to a strike settlement
under President Hardings terms which
left seniority unimpaired until the rail-
road labor board acted.
Mr.. Harrison's statement addressed
to all the employees of Southern Rail
way system, follows;
Il have delayed communicating with
you, hoping that l could finally report
that our shop crafts had returned un-
embarrassed to their former positions.
Striving for this result no conditions
have been created to prevent the return
of our men with seniority rights I'M
| impaired, but the door has been and
now is, open and unobstructed to
them.
On August l, your shop crafts COM
mittee was invited to confer with our
officials to consider the return of our
men upon the terms proposed by the
President on July 81 and subsequently
accepted by the natina1 representatives
of such crafts. After delaying ans
wer until August 3 the committee
agreed to meet our officials on August
5, on which day they asked postpone
ment to August 7, and then asked fur
Their postponement today. Though
recognizing the efforts of this COM
pany in the protection of the seniority
OF our men, we are told this morning
by your committee that they will make
no adjustment with the Southern Rail
way system as the strike is national
and must be settled nationally.
Our duty is to our employees, the
public and the company; the duty to
our striking employees wa have more
than fulfilled and | now call upon you
whatever is your occupation to assist
the management in performing their
duty to the public and company. This
obligation calls for unimpaired trans
portation service and this we will per-
FORM"
Mr.. Miller, in charge of operations
of the Southern had nothing to add to
Mr.. Harrison's message, when asked
if the railroad now intended to employ
| new men and attempt to break the
strike. The Southern acting outside
the Association of Railway Executives,
accepted President Harding's original
offer to settle the strike by giving all
strikers seniority rights Oh their re-
turn. During the course Of the con-
has made no attempts to break the
strike.

RIGHT THIS WAY TO THE
CARNIVAL

Right this way to the Carnival.
Perhaps it will be well to bring along
a. snow shovel, but that is as honora-
BILE an accessory to winter sports as
the ski, the snow shoe and the hockey
stick if one but think so, and think
ing so would come easy to one hap
pening to be drifted in.
OF course it it hoped the sportlov-
ers among the millions who at home
are denied the eXhilarating Maine air,
the inviting perspective of white
fields fringed by the frosted crests of
the evergreen woods, and all that, will
come to our carnival. 1t surely is to
be worth coming to and we want you
to get the habit. because those who
do. by the same token, are acquiring
the habit of longevity, good digestion
and the humor which goes with it.
Really Augusta has something to
offer in these winter sports. Public
spirit is on the right side. Generous
contributions in effort and, facilities
have been made. Few places have
the advantages afforded at Ganeston
Park, and just now we've got all the
winter that is essential to the full en-
joyment of skiing and SHOWS hoeing.

of their value while other property is
assessed from Is to 100 per cent, it is
readily possible to see where the same
corporations would not consider 22O
per cent profit too much to make.
The coal companies take the posi-
ton that they are not now making
any money. Some of them intimate
that they are public benefactors in
producing coal at an actual loss to
themselves. They take the position
that they are paying such high wage
that they have nothing left for them

Since the operators are making

in coal mining, they should welcome
a thorough investigation of their
books by government auditors aided

THE FAIRS STATE STIPEND

Two events of recent occurrence
are bound to have a salutary effect
on one of the most important and
most enjoyed features of Maine life
cur fairs. They are the recent hear
ing before the Governor and Council
on charges against wellknown
sheriff, alleging that he had failed to
do his duty in supprcssing gambling
at certain fairs; and the announce
ment by the commissioner of agricul-
ture that he has withheld the State
stipend from certain fairs, for not
complying with the State laws gov
erning the giving of the stipend.
1t is gratifying also that the un-
animous decision of eXoneration by
the Governor and Council of the sher-
if mentioned is sustained by the fact
that each of the fairs mentioned at
that hearing was found worthy by the
commissioner of receiving the State
stipend.
The salutary effect of these events
must certainly come on future fairs,
for no sensible management will for
a moment consider the presence on
it's fair grounds of any form of
amusement or entertainment that will
cndanger its State stipend. which
amounts to about SO per cent. of the
amount paid by each in premiums.
We therefore can welcome such ac-
ton, making as it must for better
and cleaner fairs for the men, women
and children Of Maine. And, may
that salutary effect be permanent.
