County Schools Soon open.

Public schools in the counties will
open early next month, it was an
nounced at the State Department of
Education. In about half the counties
they will be opened September or 5
and in the other September IL or II.
In consequence of new law increas-
ing the term for negro schools from
seven to eight months year, most Of
these schools will open at the same
time as those for white children. Ac-
cording to officials, Maryland is now
the leading Southern State in the
number of months devoted to educa-
ton of negro children. Countrywide
meetings of teachers will be held in
the counties few days before schools
open.

Cattle Disease Appears.

Cerebro spinal meningitis, becoming
unusually prevalent among horses and
cattle in Southern Maryland, has kept
officials Of the State Board of Agricul-
ture busy during the last few weeks.
Eleven animals have been infected
and about 81 exposed to infection in
st. Mary's county since the first of
August, DR.. r. c. Reed, chief of the
bureau of animal industry of the de-
partment, said recently. Six were in
fected and eight exposed in Prince
Georges county. Many of the animals
infected died, DR.. Reed said, the eff
cacy of treatment for this disease be-
ing very uncertain.
Thus far it has not broken out in
other counties. 1t is likely to appear
on the Eastern Shore at any time, DR..
Reed said. Some cases are to be ex-
pected at this time of the year, he
added, but ordinarily they are not SO
numerous. Unusual moisture. increas-
ing the growth of the disease organ
isms, is the probable cause, he thinks.
Dr. Reed attributed the disease in gen.
eral to mouldy or rotting food.q>

Many Pheasants Distributes.

Nearly 5000 Chinese ringnecked
pheasants will have been distributed
through the State for propagation pur
poses when final shipments are made
this week, officials of the State Game
Department announced.
All the birds, with so young ones,
which were retained as a brood stock,
were raised at the Gwynnbrook game
farm. The department obtained 12,-
450 eggs from it's brood stock during
the past season. Those not Matched
at the farm were distributed to land
owners, who took them in charge.
In addition, many eggs were pur-
chased for distribution. The total
number of eggs distributed was 1924,
according to officials. The bird dis
tribution was the largest in the his
tory of the department, being more
than double that of last year. During
the season 1879 bob-white quail and
about 1850 rabbits were liberated.

IRON the American Federation of
L Labor came an appeal to Its four
million members to give their moral
and financial support to the striking
shopmen. 1t attributes to "the small

control the finances Of the railroads"
the adoption of policy by the rail-
roads of "bitter antagonism to the
organizations Of the workers." reas-
sorting what many unprecedented per-
sons believe, namely, that there is a
deliberate plan to destroy the unions.
Most Of the sporadic strikes of
brotherhood men soon came to an end,
but last week the Southern railroad
was badly tied up by walkouts of
train and engine men. The situation
became so serious that the superin-

trict planned to handle mails by mo-
tortruck service, with the possibility
of calling on the army to handle and
protect the trucks.
Secretary Of War Weeks said he

c ENIORITY rights were still block
- ing settlement Of the railway
shipments strike as last week drew to
close. and though peace efforts were
continued, their success was worse
than problematical in view of the I'M
compromising stand of both sides on
the chief point in dispute. On Wednes-
day the Association Of Railway Execu-
lives, by vote Of 254 to A, rejected
the proposal Of the chiefs OF the
brotherhoods, acting as mediators,
that the strikers be reinstated with
seniority unimpaired. The brother
hood leaders, after comforting with
heads Of other rail unions, suggested
the possibility Of separate agreements
with the railroads, and the executives
said they would test the sincerity Of
this proposal, but with the distinct
understanding that any individual
settlement would have to conform to
the understanding Of seniority reached
at the general session of the execu-
tives. Most. Of the railroads also re-
fuse to agree to take back all of the
strikers, as consistently demanded by
the union.
Bert M. Jewell, spokesman for the
strikers, was pessimistic as to a peace
full settlement. He issued state
ment saying:
1.-THE association of railway execu-
tives has closed the door. The unions
have offered every concession within
reason to end the strike and to save
the public from a breakdown Of trans
portation, but the association has
made none. On the contrary it has,
since the strike began, raised an en-
tirely new and irrelevant issue Of it's
own seniority; and by Its refusal to
recede from its position has made a
settlement impossible at this time.
The responsibility for what will hap
pen now rests wholly upon It,
"The shop craft employees voted in
June for strike to establish living
wage and decent working conditions.
The association of railway executives
have now voted for a lockout to
smash unionism on the railroads and
to eliminate collective bargaining
from the industry.
1.-THE 100000 striking employees ac-
cept the challenge of the association.
We redouble our efforts, confident of
success"
