THE VANIst-HNG HORSE.
By Walt Meson
\Ve sometimes see 3' patient horse
go toiliné on Its way: such‘snlmsis
wéIdon't indorse in this brisk. mo-
dern day. They block the traffic
here and there. their progress Is so
slow. and chuffers grind their teeth
and swear, and speed tens writhe In
woe. Where now the stately autos
chug once horses were in line: the
poor man drove. his spawned plug.
the plutt his trotter fine. It is not
long since autos first appeared upon
the roads. and wrathful farmers
raged and cursed while perched on
horse-drawn loads. The horses.
scared. would run away and smash
the running gear; tho things the
drivers used to say will not be print-
ed here. But they were one and all
agreed that statutes should be fram-
ed which would protect the useful
steed' from dragonocnrts ge-blnmed.
The motorist. in bygone days, flew
in the face of fate. and ever, as he
went his ways. men sung their
hymn of hate. And now the driver
of a. steed is he who gives offense:
men cuss him for his snail-like
speed. and say he has no sense. So
mundane things adjust themselves.
so work out human plans; we place
our horses on the shelves. nnd'wind
our tin sedans.

cided lnllti\l5:tblo to make a strike
illegal and to give an arbitration de-
cision the status of' law. the
road Labor Board was greeted as
the next best thing.
in 1916 the compensation of em-
ployes or class 1 railroads was 31.—
468.576.894; in 1921 it was $2.809.-
896 614. Reductions in wages were
made after January 30. 1921. The
Interstate Commerce Commission
stated An 1922: "The wages are still
far above the pro-war level. “it: ex-
press no opinion as to what the rates
’nf pay should hc. But we must rec-
ognize the connection between neces-
sary revenues and present relatively
high operating expenses,
Tho. railroads contend that the
present high level of rates is made
necessary by wage scales higher
than those of comparable labor in
other industries. Railway labor or-
ganizations contend that there is no
neclsssary relationship between
transportation charges and wages
of omployes. 'l‘hcy challenge the
position taken by the railroads that
reduction in transportation charges
can not be made without contem-
poraneous wage reduction.
The Railroad Labor Board estima—
tes the reduction of pay for employee
in 192 .2 exceeded $400 (100. 000 each
year.
The Railroad Labor Board is in-
dependent of the Interstate . Com-
merce Commission. yet the latter
cannot determine a just andi fair
rate until it knows the wage scale.
Thc're seems to be some confusion
arising out of the fact that the La-
bor Board acts independently. but
is powerless to enforce its decisions:
while the Interstate Commerce Cnm~
mission is dependent somewhat upon
the Labor Board since freight and
pnescngernvatcs are dependent upon
wages paid; and yotuhe Interstate
Commerce Commission has power to

this new supply was not sufficient to
meet the long period of drought.
The nextthing done was to clean
and line with cement the famous
pools south of Bethlehem. known as
Solomon‘ 2 Pools. These had been un-
used for several centuries. The en'-
glneers had s..huge‘ problem in mak-
ing them serviceable again. The
source of supply is three miles fur-

tance a channel for thc‘water had to
be cut out of solid rock,

has been completed and they are
supplying this almost srfd section

third and last pool is completed. the
combined capacity will be about for-
