(Continued from Page lO of a minister, Eastman has made numerous enemies in rail circles. He has never minced words and he has never been noted for his diplomacy Frequently he has hinted that If the railways refuse to cooperate with his program, federal ownership of the carriers--or bankruptcy for most of them-are the alternatives.
 He has been virtually hamstrung since his appointment in the early days of the Roosevelt administration by a quirk in the law which pro- vlded that he could order consoli- dations, but that he could not allow single man to lose his job because of them.
 There have, therefore, been no consultations since each one meant automatic discharge Of workers. No Progress Made
 Labor chieftains met for months with executives of the American As- sociation of Railroads, dickering fruitlessly over proposals for setting up some method of compensating men discharged in such mergers.
 They made no progress whatever until last week, when suddenly they announced signing of the agree ment. The United Press informant, man high in the councils of the transportation business, said the agreement was signed only when the conferees were assured that no con- solicitations would be forced upon them as a result of 1t.
 With these assurances made, they attached their signatures gladly to the document, since 1t made unne- cessary the passage by congress of the drastic Wheeler -Crosser bill, which would have made dismissal compensation for rail workers man. datory.
 Carriers Now Free
 The carriers now are free to work their own consultations, a process expected to take many years for accomplishment. They believe, as does labor, that this gradual elimination of unnecessary facilities can be accomplished 50 slowly that few if any men will be discharged; ; that they can be absorbed by the participating railroads. They believe further that return of prosperity for the carriers will simplify their task.

Revolution and said that the first written history of the band was the Kansas Jayhawker war.
 The history reads:
 "The history of this organization dates as far back as the early his- tory of our country, even before the colonists revolted against the tyranny of King George III, but since no record was kept of It's members, it's history is lacking in detail.
 Boston Tea Party First
 'It is said that 1t was founded by Q man by the name of Samuel Adams, and its first escapade was the Boston Tea Party. The minute men of the Revolution were mem bers. It was found in all of the 13 colonies. Today we have 13 officers on our headquarters staff, commem- orating these units.
 Each generation thinks that 1t can let the organization die ana with 1t its history, secrets and tra- ditions. This also renders history difficult to obtain.
 "The first written history of this organization was the account of the Kansas Jayhawk war. Jim Lane of the Jayhawkers and John Brown of the OswegoeS were two of the most famous northern raiders.
 Ku KIux Organized
 After the Civil war northern politicians attempted to regard the south as conquered territory and force racial equality on the people. It was then that the Raider or. ganization under the great General Forrest organized the Ku Klux Klan.
 After the Klan had accomplish ed its purpose of maintaining white supremacy and ridding the south of it's carpet-baggers, 1t was dis banded, but the night riders under General Forrest remained Intact and were ordered to ride on for- ever.
 "The officers of the organization wanted to make General Forrest @ patron saint on account of his ef- ficiency as 8 fighting man, but he objected, stating that there was man more efficient than he, namely Quantrell. Then General Forrest requested all of his men to take the black oath of Quantrell.
 Shotgun Sheperd
 "Our present leader in the north is a kinsman of one of the followers of Quantrell when he only had eight men. This kinsman's name is George Shepherd or Shotgun Shep- herd
 "Our leader was given command of all the forces south of the Ma son-Dixon line.
 Up until about ten years ago membership in this organization was passed from father to son but on account of the need for mem- bers our leaders was permitted to enlist all native-born white gentle protestants, known to be patriotic citizens"

 Beyond Remembrance
 It cannot be remembered when more than half of any one years tax levy has been paid during the month of May. Nevertheless, Tax Collector Ennis figures this will happen this year, on the basis of present trends. He placed the figure at the end of May at $3.000000 or S40O, O,O0O greater than the May irstallment due and payable.
 Increased business conditions, bet- ter rental conditions and prices and other reasons are given as the cause of the sudden squirt in the taxpaying in Waterbury.
