WOULD SAVE $300,000,000 Lower Cost of S.rvlee Can Ba Secured Only by Cutting Expen, Arterbury Say. Crflng emergency action by Ox I'nltsd Rutas Ruilroad Labor Board to and "gross watia and Inefflclsncy" prevailing nndsr presant working rulat and conditions, Oaoaral W. W. Attar tiury. vlca praaidant of the Pennayl vanla railroad. In a statement to um board In araslnn at Chicago aald In part: Many railroads are not now earning, and with present operating costs and traffic have no prospect of earning, even their hare operating eipentea. leaving them without any net retain and unable to meet their (lied charges. The emergency presented can be met either by an advanca In freight and passenger rates, or by a eduction In operating eipensas. With declining prices and wages In Industry and agrlcultnre, the oountry demands that the selvanoy of the rail, reads must be assured by a reduotlon In operating expenses, and not by a further advanca of rata. Tba National Agreements, rules and working conditions forced on the rail roads as war tneamree cause gross waste and Inaffldeccy. Would lav 1800,000,000 I estimate that the elimination of this waste would reduce railway op erating erreneea at least HOO.000,000. It would be far better to save this sura by restoring conditions of efficient and economical operation than to reduce wagea. Vfe believe that as the wages of rail road employees were the last to go up they should also be the last to coma down, hnt we do Insist that for an am ple wage an honest day's work shall be given. The public has the right to Insist that this must be obtained. The public ha also the right to ex pert that the railway executive, with the cooperation of the regulatory bodies and the employees, will as rap idly as poeelble reduce the eost ef rail way operation so as to Insure eventual ly a reduotlon In rates. Ultimately a vadjustinent of haste wages wUl ba requlri'd. Meantime It Is to the Inter ests of all concerned, Inctudhtg labor, that the rules and working condition! shall he made conducive to tfte hlgbeat efficiency In output per man. Losses In Income Irreparable When wages have been too low tba harm done has bean offset by retroac tive Increasoa. Losses of railway oat operating Income are Irreparable. Ion caunot make retroactive tomorrow tba savings that should bava been mad today. The board cannot possibly write th rules and working conditions ft every railroad In this country and adjust them equitably to varying geograph ical, operating and social conditions. It rsstl entirely with the board te determine whether this whole situa tion shall drift Into chaos, and or derly procedure become Impossible ex cept at the price of railroad bank ruptcy, financial shock and still wider on employment. The Labor Board oan prevent this catastrophe by declaring that the Na tional agreements, rules and working conditions coming ever from the war period are terminated at oncei that the question of reasonable and eco nomical rule and working condition shall be remanded to negotiations be tween each carrier and Its own em ployees ; and that as the basis for such negotiations, the aureements, rule, and working condition In enet on each railroad as of December 81, 191T, shall be re-ealbllshed. If the board will do thla, the Labor Committee of the Association of Rail way Executives will urge upon ev ry railroad company a party to De cision No. 2, that no proposal for the reduction of basic wages shall b made within the neit succeeding nine ty day. Thla will afford an oppor tunity to gange the economies which can he accomplished through more efficient rulee and working condition. It also will afford additional tlm In which to renllte the beneflla ef a further decline In Ihe coat of living. Relief Irrperatlve and Equltab'e The rourae which we are recom mending I not only Imperative but equitable. The War labor Board declared that the war period wtJ an Intrrrermim. to be used neither by employer nor em ployee for the puqioae of bettering or Impairing the position of either. To perpetuate a the normal rules and working renditions on the rail roads, the extraordinary provision ot the war period Is a distinct violation of all promlaea. The war has now been over more than two years Th time has com when, If the railways art to be stridently and economically operated, In aooordance with the p-e-visions of the Trsnsportatlon act, nor mal eondltlona of employment and ot worklig conditions must be restored and Increaeed efficiency ef laker he acursd.

CASTORIA For Infanta and Children In Use For Over 30 Years OLD MAWS PRAYER, IN REPLY TO A "BACHELOR'S PRAYER," CONTRIBUTED BY B.G.CRISP. Yes, God grant that Thy time may turn backward tonight, And give us a man who is pure in Thy sight, Who's as pure as the one created of yore, When woman only the fig leaf wore. Who, seeing a girl immodestly dressed, Will not stare with both eyes like all of the rest; Who does not demand that girl's wear peek-a-boo, And skirts that come above the top of her shoe. God, You created woman to try and please man. And in dressing today, they wear what men demand. Our fashions and dances are man designed, man advised, Then why stand they by and severely criticise? Why do they judge women by a severe rule, And lead immoral lives, and think we are fooled ? Yes, God turn backward and give us a man, Who is noble and upright, throughout this broad land, Who, when his day's labor is over, and he stops at night, Can honestly feel that he's lived the day right; Who will not judge himself by one standard, and women another, Knowing Thou created us to love each other. Then God, Thou creator of all the world's nations, Haih given us one of Thy grandest creations. No doubt, Mr. Crisp, you like not my rhyme, The feet are not right, but it's meant to mark time, Wiih the sneers of men, critics, such as we know, Who sneer at the women, gossip, ah! yea, even more. Now stop just a minute and the time review, And you'll admit, no doubt, what i say is true. F. HARRIS. BACHELOR'S REVERIE, BY FRANK L. How frail a thing is Love the lamplight falling (I mean the gaslight) o'er my visions here, I hear the voices of the old sweethearts calling, Without a sigh a tear ! Was it not yonder that a win-blown blossom From orchards by a glorious spring made sweet Was kissed of Love, and left upon her bosom Of Love the dream complete. Did she not whisper (wherefore should I say it?) She loved me, and would love me to the last ? (This midnight, with its darkness would betray it;) 'Tis past ! 'Tis past I 'Tis past ! And yet and yet I I say I do not quiver To any pulse to one remembered tone; And yet and yet I The had )ws make me shiver; 1 am alone alone I I say, God's ample world is snll about me His skies, with all their storm and all their bright; But one loved heart can live its life without me (The fire is dead Good-night !)

If we realized how much happi ness we could ofien give by a few words of praise or appreciation, we would speak them more fre quently. The old, especially, are grnieful lor any usurance that they can Mill interest or auruct others. "I think ii is wonderful thai you can keep in touch will) whai is go ing on in the way you do," a pleasant-faced woman said to an old lady upon whom she was culling. "And you have such a bright way of telling everything. I always enjoy my calls here so much, and when I get home I tell my family the quaint and bright things you have said." The aged lace opposite flushed with pleasure. "1 didn't know anybody felt that way about me," the old lady said softly. "Nobody ever told me that before. You don't know how happy it makes me to hear it. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA STANTON. JES NACHERALLY. Back in the brave of Bordeaux days a native of the Vermont back- i woods whose acquaintance with ! our colored brethren was limited was plumbing the depths of a col ored brother's psychology. "One thing I've noticed about you fellows," he drawled. "You don't never seem to worry about anything. Howzzat?" "It's disyear way," explained the dusky soldier. "When any thin' goes wrong with yo' all folks yo' sets down and thinks and thinks till yo' gets het up. When one of us sets down he jes' nacherally goes to sleep."
