Jor1ty OF the members of the House
recognize that it has failed, or at
least fallen far short of what was
expected of it in ending railway
labor disputes. The old policy Of
mediation and Cancellation, supple
mented by voluntary arbitration,
embraced in the pending Howell
Barley bill, is, in my mind, the
only practical way Of minimizing in
dustrial disputes between railway
employers and employees.
Senator Howell said: Under the
present Railroad Labor Board act
it was contemplated that disputes
would first go to conference, and
in case of failure there, to an ad-
justment board appointed jointly
by the workers and managers, then
only in case Of failure, to the Labor
Board.
Fail to Cooperate.
The railroads have often failed to
cooperate, as provided by law, in
the appointment Of adjustment
boards. In consequence of this, dis
putes failing of settlement by con.
ference have gone directly to the
Labor Board in such numbers that
there are many cases that have
been pending for three years or
more without settlement.
Another objection to the Railroad
Labor Board is that it has no au-
thority in law 10 enforce It's DEGREES.

the following information about The

great deal about the early history or

that a committee of which Benjamin

When John Morgan Escaped

General John Morgan, the Confed-
Ohio and confined in the Ohio peni-
tentiary here, told this story of an
incident that occurred Immediately
after he had secured his liberty.
The escaping party divided as
soon as they were safe beyond the
prison walls, and Morgan and Cap
tain Hines, of his staff, went direct
ly to the Union railway station,
where they bought tickets for Cincin-
natl, and entered train that had
just come from the east and was due
to leave Immediately for Cincinnati.
1t was the Little Miami route,
which passes close by the peniten-
tiary walls. Morgan found a feder-
al officer sitting in a seat alone and
politely asking permission, took a
seat beside him. In accordance with
the custom Of the time, when most
travellers carried liquor with them,
Morgan produced decanter from
his pocket and invited the federal
officer to have a drink from it. His
offer was accepted.
BY this time the train was pass
ing the penitentiary and looking out
at the gray walls looming up in the
moonlight the federal officer re-
marked: THAT is the hotel, be-
lieve, at which General John Morgan
stops"
"Yes," replied Morgan, with af-
fected feeling-adding "and will
stop, l hope, for some time to come.
He has given us his fair share of
trouble and he will not be released.
will drink to him" He had just
received his decanter back from his
seat companion. May he ever be as
closely kept as he is now" There
was a humor in the toast, which, of
course, the federal officer did not
get.
The two were now we'll acquaint
ed and talked until both grew sleepy
and made themselves comfortable in
the day-coach seats. In the gray
dawn of the morning the train near
ed Cincinnati and Morgan and Hines
swung off, made their way to the
Ohio river and by canoe soon reach
ed the Kentucky shore and were on
their way to the Confederate lines

broader sense, his was the deep, fer
vent Christianity that believes in the
brotherhood of man as taught by
the lowly Nazarene; and were every
one to whom he has been an inspira-
ton and benediction to bring O
blossom to his grave, he would sleep
tonight beneath a wilderness of
flowers.
The writer feels that he has in
deed lost a valued friend, and a safe
counsellor; one TO whom he could go
in times of dependency and leave
with calm, refreshed spirit.
In times of joy, the doctor was
ever ready and able to receive one.
and to lift him little higher with
his keen appreciation for the good
fortune of his friend. His death is
one that brings sadness to all who
knew him, for no greater blessing
can come to any community than to
have in it's midst one who is always
ready to sacrifice health, or answer
the midnight call, if need be, to min
lister to the physical needs, though
it often means exposure and conse-
quently shortens life.
There is not the slightest doubt
in our minds but that today our dear
doctor is enjoying the heavenly re-
ward that awaits all such noble
spirits who serve for the joy OF
serving, and not for financial gain.

Steel Worker Faces Pre-
JUDGED Judge

MERCER, Pa, June 27.-The trial
of the second Farrell steel worker for
alleged violation of the Pennsylvania
sedition law, scheduled to begin Tues
day, June "a, got underway Wednes-
day afternoon. County Prosecutor
Rickard of Mercer appeared for the
commonwealth and Attorney /. E. Fer
guson of Chicago, ILL.,, for the de-
tense.
Upon opening of court this after
noon Attorney Ferguson petitioned
the court to quash the indictment
against the defendant, Andy Kovaco-
vich, for reason of insufficient charges
in his indictment. The court over
ruled the motion.
Deny Change in Venue.
The defense followed this up by
petitioning the court for a change in
venue, by reason of community preju-
dice existing against the defendant.
The court overruled this petition and
held that most of the jurors had
heard but little about the case and
that it was his belief that the defen-
dant would receive fair trial before
Mercer county jury.
Following the courts overruling of
the two motions the selection of a
jury took up the remainder of the
opening session until adjournment
time at $3.50 D. m. In all 33 jurors
were examined before the jury boxes
were filed. Seven jurors were excused
for admitting their inability to give
the defendant a fair and honest trial
by reason of their prejudice against
him by reason of his foreign birth or
other reasons. Three Jurors were ex-
cused for defective hearing. The de-
ffense used its peremptory challenges
before the jury was completed,

The settlement if reached will I'M

points. First, that all wage reduc-

shops. Third, that all work shall be
done in union shops under union con-
