they are extremely efficient, economi.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
HAGERSTOWN, February 15.-
Business interests Of western Mary
land will appeal to the warning fac
tions OF the Western Maryland Rail-
road to mediate their differences
and have already asked John d.
Rockefeller. jr., who Is supposed to
own controlling interest in the sys-
tenn. to use his good offices to bring
about a settlement
The lead taken by group Of Cum
berland merchants will be followed
by Hagerstown business men. who
were asked in letter sent to busi-
ness organizations in both Hagers-
town and Baltimore to lend aid in
bringing the striking engineers and
hremen into a conference with West
ern Maryland Railroad officials.
Business men throughout western
Maryland, particularly those in
Hagerstown and Cumberland. say
that business has been hard hit by
the strike.
The business men OF both Cumber-
land and Hagerstown have declared
10 both the union representatives
and the Western Maryland Railroad
officials that they are not interested
in the principles involved in the
called no effort toward mediating or
arbitrating the strike has been made.
1t Is toward this end that the busi-
ness men are directing their efforts.
Rockefeller's assistants have noti-
fled the western Maryland business
men that the f1nancier IS in the
South, but would soon return to New
York. when the matter would be pre-
sented to him. b.
Western Maryland Railroad off,
cials here would make no comment
relative to the latest move by the
business men. Some time ago Max
we'll G. Byers. president of the sys-
TEN, said that he would never take
the striking engineers and firemen
back as a body. but that they must
return as new men, losing their
seniority, which they lost when they
walked out last October.
The leaders of the striking en-
gineers and firemen are ready to
meet with Western Maryland Rail-
road officials or they are willing to
arbitrate their differences.

LINCOLN'S WORDS

Let every American, every
lover of liberty, every wellwisher
to his posterity, swear by the
blood of the revolution never to
violate in the least particular the
laws of, the country, and never to
tolerate their. violation by others.
'As the patriots of seventy
six did to the support of the Dec
faration Of independence, so to
the support of the Constitution
and laws, let every American
pledge his life, his prosperity and
his sacred honor. Let every man
remember that to violate the law
is to trample on the blood of his
father, and to tear the charter of
his own and his children's liberty.
Let reverence for the laws
be breathed by every American
mother to the lisping babe that
prattles on her lap; let it be
taught in schools, in seminaries,
and in colleges, let it be written
in primers, spelling-books, and
almanacs; let it be preached from
the pulpit proclaimed in the
legislative halls, and enforced in
courts of justice. In short, let
it become the political religion of
the nation"

TAKE NO CHANCES

Would you care to let your
child ride in street cars, taxicabs,
or motor BUSES that do not stop
at railroad crossings? Likely you
would not and furthermore you
would be "shaky" about riding
there yourself. The same holds
true of private automobiles. If
all cars came to a stop before
crossing railroads it would almost
eliminate crossing accidents.
Many folks seem to be in an
awful sweat and nervous when
they approach railroad crossings
"a desire to get over quick and
be out of danger. There is no
danger if one takes his time.
Cool down, be calm and deliberate
at crossings. Bring your car to
a stop, look to both sides and if
no trains are near you have
plenty of time to cross. If a
train is near stay right where
you are and let it pass. No in
jury will .befall you if your car
is not on the track. We all have
plenty of time to stop. If struck
by the train we certainly will
have time.

unable to stop.

sTHE INVISIBLE BALANCE
.z SHEET .--

Judge Warren R. Voorhis, in a
little sermon on the human val
ues in the financial statement, as
contrasted with the cold figures
shown on the balance sheet,
paints an interesting picture.
Il like to study the items of a
balance sheet of a public util. ty
with which | am acquainted; for
example: Station grounds and
buildings, $29O,O0O' This is an
attempt by arithmetic to describe
these buildings.
But Isee broad brown river,
a level place set about with trees,
a high green hill rising behind it.
The buildings are of gray slate,
warm red bricks and white stone.
The waters in the reservoir are
shining in the sun. The drive
ways are marked with white
washed stones, which is old-fash-
Toned, but green grass and white
wash are the cleanest comb ma
tion in the world. The entrance
gates are open and people sit
about under the trees, and child
rem run about in the grass with
never a $500 fine sign to stumble
over"
Judge Voorhis then contrasts
such a property with one. which
by it's unsightly appearance and
the unfriendly atmosphere which
pervades the whole organization
of the company, actually repels
people. Continuing he says: !.
81 would not expect a utility to
build up the asset side of it's in

money expenditures, for we were

NEITHER AGAINST ALCOHOL
NOR MAN =

w. G. Calderwood, the well
known prohibition leader of Min
neapolis, wrote letter right to
the point on prohibition, which
was published recently in the
Duluth Herald. 1t follows:
T. G. Lee in a rejoinder in
your columns to a letter of mine,
asks:
Shall we prohibit the. use of
water because people drown in
the lakes?"
No. We do not prohibit bath
ing in alcohol.
One important pkenom enon has
escaped Mr.. Lees attention-the
trouble with alcohol arises when
the alcohol gets inside the man
The law is neither against alcohol
nor against man. It is against
the pernicious, misunderstanding
combination of the liquor inside
the man.
But, as to drowning in the lake
any time that the wardens of
our penal institutions and the
Judges of our courts agree that
bathing in the lakes is respon-
sible for a large portion of our
crime; that the doctors, insurance
companies and sanitarians agree
that it shortens life, that socl-
ologists and charity workers as
sert that it is the cause of much
of the distress and sorrow with
which they deal, that merchants
recognize that it hurts trade and
multiplies bad bills-and when
the lake bathers have to admit
that their only reason for bawl-
ing for lake bath in the face
of all this mischief is the selfish
personal pleasure that they feel
then all good citizens, Including
Mr.. Lee, should forego the per.
sonal pleasure and join in the
enactment, observance and en-
forcement of a law calculated to
mitigate this moral, social and
economic evil.

sincere courtesy, thoughtful con-

women who help us serve, these
are the expenditures. this is the

NEW RAILROAD POLICY

With the signing of the Wat
SON Parker bill by, President Coo
lidge, the railroad labor board
was abolished, and new system
inaugurated, providing for estab-
ishment of conference groups
and adjustment boards within the
industry, and creation Of a board
of mediation, whose five members
are to be appointed by the Presi-
dent.
The new plan provides for self
government within the industry
in labor matters, and is hailed by
railroads and railway labor unions
as treaty of peace. The act
expressly st pulates that powers
of Interstate Commerce Commits
sion are unimpaired to fix rates
under present law. In signing
the bill, President Coolidge sa d:
I'VE should give every encour-
agement to industry, to create
within itself such relationship
and such machinery of ad Just
ment between its employers and
.alnployes as will give the public
continuous and efficient service,
and to accomplish these relations
within itself, without the inter
vention of the government.
The railways, by under tax ng
this self-government. have not
in the smallest fashion relieved
themselves of their responsibility
to the public at large, but rather,
they have increased their respon-
sibility by virtue of the self-gov-
eminent which this act imposes
upon them"
