MAKES DEMAND
FOR open SHOP
Unusual Plea Made to United
States Labor Board by
Line Managers.
SAYS WAGES MUST Be CUT
Missouri & North Arkansas Rail-
road Claims It Is Unable to oper.
ate Under the Present Conditions,
Puts Forward an Alternative.

"Cut my mems wages 25 per cent or
let me run on an open shop basis, at
half the expense"
That, In effect, is the unusual pro-
pOsal made to the United States rail-
road labor board by J. G. Murray, re-
ceiver and general manager for the
Missouri & North Arkansas rail-
road, a road 1858 miles long, running
between Joplin, Mo-, and Galena, Ark,
which suspended operation on July
81 last. The company recently asked
for a loan from the government
through the interstate commerce COM
mission, end also requested the help
Of other roads in getting back on its
feet.
Mr.. Murray petitiOned the board to
permit him to cut wages % per cent,
with the understanding that if at the
end Of the year there was any surplus
left after paying expenses, taxes, and
interest, he would divide it among the
employees up to the scale existing on
other roads. AS an alternative he re-
quested that he be allowed to operate
on an "open shop" basis at a saving
of "one-half of the pay roll of 1920"
The pay roll for that year, $1,41O,OOO,
was reduced u per cent by the boards
July wage decision.
Mr.. Murray contends that under an
"open shop" plan he could lop $4,000
from the reduced pay roll of $780,
600. This would still leave the total
labor bill "a per cent, or 1896, 900, in
excess Of that of 1917, he contends.
The wage cut proposal was turned
down by the former employees of the
road on October 10.

The maintenance shops at Collinwood

The notices state that the company

BETTER COWS HELP PROFITS
High-Produeing Dairy Animals Make
Best Market for Different
HOMEGROWN Feeds.

Hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of feed is consumed annually by
our dairy cows. The net income is
large or small, according to the way
that feed is used. When production is
increased through feeding and breed
ing, the income rapidly expands, yet
few real scrubs on any dairy farm
will debate the net income.
Farmers Of the United States fur
nish feed and care for 100000 dairy
cows. Because of Iow-producing cows
a large part of that feed is wasted.
Weighing out expensive feeds to low
producing COW is like shoveling costly
coal info the fire box under leakv

boiler; and the farmer who keeps such
cows seldom has to pay any income
tax.
Like a factory, the dairy cow trans
forms raw materials silage, hay, and
cOncentrates-into the finished prod
uct, milk. In this way she furnishes
market for the feeds. Whether that
market will be good or bad depends
in part upon the way the COW is fed,
and in part upon the COW herself.
There is no better way to market the
feeds grown on the farm than to feed
them to a herd of hlgh-producing dairy
cows. The COW takes corn silage, grain,
and hay and converts them into pro-
duct for which there is always ready
sale.
1t is much easier to send the milk or
cream to the creamery than to haul
the hay to town. In the long run it is
generally much more profitable, be-
cause it Keeps the soil fertility at
home.
In selling feeds. to dairy cows the
farmer has a wide choice of markets
bad, good, and very good. Few men
discriminate closely enough between
these markets. If a wheat buyer offers
l or cents a bushel more than other
buyers he gets the wheat if a wool
buyer offers half cent a pound more
he gets the wool. But If one COW re-
turns So from a dollars worth of feed
and another only 81, it is scarcely no
ticed. There is a difference of a dol
lar in the Income every time each of
these two COWS eats a dollars worth Of
feed.
According to estimates Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture, the
average dairy cow in the United States
produces annually about 1900 pounds
of milk and 100 pounds of butter fat.
According to 10000 yearly individual
COW records recently tabulated by the
department, the average COW testing
association COW produces $3.50 pounds
Of milk and 246 pounds Of butter fat
year. The worlds records are 81
3S1.4 pounds Of milk and 1,20509

is plenty Of room for improvement, it
would seem, in the average production.
The keeping of individual COW rec
ords is easy. To test half dozen
samples Of milk for butter fat re-
Quires about half an hour. Weighing
the milk, estimating the weight Of
roughage, and weighing the cOncen-
trates requires but little time. The
testing of a composite sample of each
cows milk from two consecutive milk
ings once month furnishes the figures
from which the yearly production rec
ords can be computed. Any man com
petent to care for a dairy herd can
easily learn to make the butter fat
test and to keep feed and production
records.

Som metimes it is profoundly meditative and melon choly. like his symphonic poem, The Isle of the Dead" a work inspired by the celebrated picture of Bocklin, which was intended to communicate an impression of silence so profound that one looking at the canvas would start at the slightest sound. This silence, this mystical revery is in Rachmaninoffs tone poem, based on the old plain chant 'Dies Irae.''
 Rachmaninoff believes in writing straight from the heart, in trying to compose sincerely and simply, to the great public of men and women of the world. Hence the popularity in the best sense of the word that this man has on the people. When they hear him. they understand him. When they come in personal contact with him they find the man is as fine nd as genuine as his music. -->-L..
