Presidential bees have been known to
flock in all parts of the country. But
presidential mosquitoes are different
proposition altogether. The sting of the
variety of bees mentioned is not unwel-
come. But the spectacle Of President
Coolidge going about the Brule River
Park with a piece of pork fastened to
his suSpenders as means of self-pres-
ervation is calculated to shock the coun-
try into joining the protest OF this eX-
perienced sojourner in that region.
Anybody who thinks that mosquitoes
do not thrive in Northern ATTITUDES have
further cogitations coming to them. 1t
would seem that the farther North one
goes the bigger and more savage they
get They are not disease bearers. but
they are peStiferous creatures neverthe-
less. and If President Coolidge persists
in his selection of a Wisconsin resting
place he will have to lay in good sup
ply of mosquito netting cironella, and,
it would now SEEM pork TO enjoy any
peace this Summer.

There Will Be No Strike Today.

Acting upon the advice of the preSi-
dent OF the American Federation of
Labor. the Pullman car porters have de-
cided not TO strike at this time for re-
dress Of grievances. Mr.. Green tells
them that it would be unwise TO engage
in a walkout at present. inasmuch as
economic conditions are unfavorable to
the success of such an undertaking. So
the porters will continue to make up
the bcrths on the sleeping cars, adjust
the chairs in the parlor coaches provide
paper bags for the ladies hats. fix up
card tables for the seekers for diversion,
swing the whiSk- broom toward the end
Of the trip and carry the hand luggage
of the cars at the terminal and all for
So 30 a month and such gratuities as
the public may hand out to them.
Later. perhaps. they will resort to the
final measure of a strike, unless they
can secure a mediation procedure.
Just what is meant by Mr.. Green in
his reference TO condition$ unfavorable
to the success of a strike is left to the
imagination The chances are that he
refers To the rather large degree of un-
employment now prevalent. When the
strike vote was taken by the porters,
resulting in an Overwhelming majority
for walkout. the employing companys
managers declared that II the men went
out their places would be quickly filled.
intimating that arrangements had al
ready been made to fill vacancies as
fast as they occurred.
Pullman car porterage is not highly
skilled occupation. but 1t has its special
requirements. nevertheless. And they
are not To be learned in a hurry. II
takes some knack to make up a berth.
Passengers are usually beguiled by the
maneuvers OF the porters as they extri-
cate the various articles of bedware
from the recesses of the upper compart-
ment and slip and push things into
place to transform the day-riding ac-
commodations of the car into bed
room. Stature plays some part in the
affair A tall porter is more capable at
handling the complex OF the trans
formation than a short one. Consid-
erable strength is necessary.
1t has been intimated that the COM
rany has lined up a number of Japanese
and Filipinos to take the place Of the
porters IL they strike The porters say
that such men cannot do the work be-
cause they are too short as rule. The
public would have been diverted BY the
experiment. perhaps disconnected If it
worked out badly But the test will not
come now. Possibly later on there will
be a showdown on this score. Mean
while 1t is To be hoped that justice will
be done these faithful workers, who
should not be forced to depend upon
the gratituIties OF the patrons of the
service in order TO earn a living.
