RAILROAD
WAGES
Shall they be determined by
Industrial Warfare or
Federal Inquiry?
To the American Public:
Do you believe in arbitration or indus
trial warfare?
The train employes on all the railroads
are voting whether they will give their leaders
authority to tie up the commerce of the
country to enforce their demands for a 1UU
million dollar wage increase.
The railroads -are in the public service
your service. This army of employes is in
the public service your service.
You pay for rail transportation 3 billion
dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every
dollar from you goes to the employes.
On all the Southern railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cent of the
train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and average
of all) at shown by the payrolls

A 100 million dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service (.less than
one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per
cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost of transportation to you
without a clear mandate from a public tri
bunal speaking for you.
The railroads have propositi the settle
ment of this controversy either under the
existing national arbitration law , or by refer
ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. This offer has been rt fused by the
employes' representatives.
Shall a nation-wide strike or an
investigation under the Gov
ernment determine this issue?

NO UNBELIEF.
There is no unbelief :
Whoever plants a seed beneath ihe sod
And wails 10 see il push away the clod,
He trusis in God.
Whoever says when clouds are in the sky,
"lie paiicnt, heart; light breaktth by and by,"
Trusis ihe Most High.
Whoever sees 'nenth winter's field of snow
The silent harvest of ihe future grow,
God's power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep,
Content 10 lock each sense in slumber deep,
Knows God will keep.
The heart that looks on when the eyelids close.
And dares to live when life has woes,
God's comfort knows.
There is no unbelief :
And day by day, unconsciously,
The heari lives by thai faith ihe lips deny,
God knoweih why !

"I am going to ask you a favor,"
the girl said hesitatingly.
"It is already granted," he an

are sure thai you won't think it
presumptuous or forward of me?"
"Never," he assured her. "On

on for a moment in silence and
then intervened.
"1 say, it's an infernal shame lo
strike a man when he's down."
"Faith, if ye knew all the trou

ihe intermittent reply.
