Tlis morning code messa~es were Sent calling off the railroae “vike. An hour thereafter the offtcials of the five brotherhoods were to hold an- other conference in Chicazo. The poli- €y adoptec. by the United States Rail- road Labor Board in reference to fu- ture changes in wages and working conditions was taken as affording a “satisfactory settlement.” The repre- sentatives of those who sent the or- der “the strike is off,” were represen- tati*\s of the only unions which had authokized the strike. From some strange quarter came courage. It entered the heart of the I -bor Board sufficiently for one man to say that unless peace came the board would deal with the with ‘remorseless hands.” The Labor Board had threatened and lad referred to a possible viola- tion of the transportation act. It had said drastic measures would be taken today. Last night, before the decision was reached, labor men hinted that some- thing would break. It broke, and the strike is off. The truth of the matter is that the railroad had lost the faith of the pub- le. A significant cartoon in the Wash- ington Star appeared about a year ago ‘which sl.owed the goose (the public), laying the golden egg which belonger to labor. The caption was a practical suggestion to labor not to kill the goose that laid the gclden egs. The President of the Order of Rail- ‘way conductors said the Unions deci- ed to call the strike off because of “growing public opinion ,that the strike would be against the labor : Board and consequently the govern- ment and not against the railroads ' Also that the entire Washington ad- ‘ministration was against them and they woud have little chance to gain their aims. It was evident, he said, that railroad propaganda had reached the Raircad Labor Board, which told the unions that the strike would: ap- pear to be against it, not hgainst the railroads. “Under such circumstances there was nothing to do but to annul our order for the October 30 walkout, Just now, at least, the public, and especially capital, is relleved. The calling off of the strike is not consid- ered a defeat of the labor leaders, but an upholding of the Labor Board. On hearing the news Senator Cum# mings, Chaifman of the Senate In- terstate Commerce Commission, said . that: “This is certainly very gratify- ing news.. I have believed tha the men had no good reason for strik- ing and tying up transportation fa- cllitles of the nation and that the men would be sure to realize that be- fore the date for the threatened strike . went into effect.” y . From rémarks of the President of | the Order of Engineers it may be seen ' that this is not the opinion of some of * the labor leaders, but certainly his words show a certain amount of wil- ‘ lingness to accept the dictates of that " board which was organized to make aicta If conditions had been more . avorable to a strike he might have | felt differently. Th> settlement of this strife—or its Dbeing called off—seems to be a | victory for decency, law and order in & broad sense not a sneering contempt for the honest efforts the government - has made to “establish peace among the railroad workers of the country. * unions The Public Utilittes Commission ia nvestigated the jitney-trolley situa- tion'in this city. Thiss gathered from an authoritative souree. It feels, ac- cording to the understanding gained, that much has been granted the Con- necticut Company and it is for them to show’ good results in order to cbn- tinue to obtain privileges. Presumably in this frame of mind it had allowed Edward P. French, who used to run up West Main street, to. operate a new Jitney line running from the center, up Arch to Hart stree and thence to Corbin avenue, where he returns by the same route. Because a certificate has been grant- ed to others up Arch sireet to Shuttle ‘Meadow avenue and beyond, Mr. French will not be allowed to take on passengers after he leaves his starting point at Main and Church streets until he gots to Hart and Haw- kins street where he turns' up Hart street for his route on which there ave no lines. He is able to take on, at Ma starting point. ~~vone desirine tn “JESS RUMINATIN".” (Roberg Russell.) Your conscience drives you to perform a certain _thing you hate; You've ruminated long afore you reach decision’s gate. Your hand fair trembles 'fore you push that vital gate wide ope; At last you do it, prayin’, for is your final hope. The gate, old-fashioned, stays ajar; you allus can retreat, not a man would know you'd gone to meet there your defeat. But somehow somethin’ holds you there; you know not what 't can be, - But anyway you stick around that queer ol'" Conscience Tree. An’ then you see a leaf has fell; you pfék it up an’ look, Yon theré see writ your happi- ness as plain as any book. It calls it happiness or “duty” —both words mean the same, When you get fully in the land that hasn’t got no name; there you stay, with open gate; about you are your friends all who love you with the love that man nor God of- fends. An’ An’ An’ Try This' On Your Wise Friend ‘Which is proper to say: 11 and 7 and 9 are 28, or is 287 Answer to yesterday’'s: 8 and 6. B NS NS get off at Hart street, but not before that point. Mr. French has been a courageous fighter for the jitney in New Britain, and this route ig capable of possibili- tes—much less than he had formérly, but worth while for, him to tfy and worth while for the commission to know just how it wotks out. Another intere\stk and valuable feature, is the fact that though Mr. French’s constant communication be- tween himseif and the commission each understands the sitvation as they never did bafore. It is quite probable that Mr. French sees the pressure that has’ been brought to bear for the trclley in an entirely legal way, and the commis- sion, talking often with the jitney driver who knows the situation here so thoroughly, has had a new light given it. X At any rate the granting of the lat- est permission to run a new line, in- dicates that New Britain may find, finally, the Public Service Commission helping her out of transportation difficulties. TESTING GASOLINE. If the test of gasoline used in Minnesota with so much success is adopted generally, there will come a great simplyfying of this matter. The test is for water in the gas tank. A long stick is taken the end of which s covered with molasses. Gasoline has no effect upon the mo- lasses, but if the stick is given two or three twists after it hak been im- mersed the molasses dissolves every- where it has touched water. The space at the end of the stick where none of the sticky fluid re- mains, indicates the depth of the water in the tank. After the amount of water is located it is pumped out with a small amount of waste of gas- oline. It is said that other methods, in- cluding tk > use of mechanically treat- ed paper, have proven much more ex- pensive and less accurate. The presence of water in gasoline does not necessarily mean that your dealer is dishonest.” On a damp, cold day, it is said, you may notice frost on the outside of the oil tank down to the level of the oil inside. The frost melts as the weather grows warmer and runs to the bottom of the tank, resulting in a great adulteration of the gas in the tank, unless they are cleaned out. This is valuable to know, theo- retically. Motorists are not expected to go about with long sticks. But in- spection of the condition of tanks is necessary and this would prove to be an easy and inexpensive manner of making such inspections, if it proves successthl and is adopted by the many states now thinking of adopting it. THE DENTAL CLINIC. Some of the children of this gener- ation, and in a great measure all of those of the next generation are go- ing to have better teeth, and conse- quently better health. The success of the Dental Clinic is assured. It is quite possible that the knowledze gained and the cleanly practice of taking care of the teeth will permeate to the middle aged peo- ple and that fathers and mothers wi surreptitiously take a hand at that which has seemed to do their children so much good. With better health will come a great- er happiness. Not one of those who have neglected their teeth, but who will realize what it means to of that trouble—feel clean, feel free will re- turn to old ways.- Heads thrown back uncounsciously will be with a2 'NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD FRIDAY, OCIOBER 28 N\ FACTS AND FANCIES | — BY ROBERT QUILLEN N All tears are damp, even frontiers.
