STRIKE HAS BEEN CANCELLED
Chiefs of "Big Five" Brotherhoods Withdraw Authoriza-
tion of Walkout After Seven flours' Debate—Will. Ac-
cept 1.2"/z Per Cent. Cut in Wages.
A despatch from Chficago says:—
The railroad strike scheduled for Oct.
80 has been abandoned. Formal an-
nouncement was made at anideigh,t on
Thursday by the "Big Five!' brother-
hoods.
The announcement cattle atm the
question of recalling the strike order
had been debated seven hours.
"We took the position thet we could
tiet fight the Govereemml,'" L. G.
Sheppa-rd, president of the Order of
Railroad Conductors said. "It appear-
ed that the Government had thrown
its full influence on the side of the
railroads. The roade, very shrewd17,
let the Government fight their battle.
Our protest as against the railroads
and not the Government, but since we
could not 'reach, the made etaccet
through the Government, we knew it
was best to declare the strike off."
At 9 o'cloek on Friday meriting
executives of the "Big Five" stated
they would send notice to railroad men
throughout the country that there
will be no strike.
The messages, it was said, have al-
ready been prepared in .00de form.
The resolution whieh, the Beother-
hood. adopted, calling off the strike,
is lengthy. It coutains a long re-
view a the negotiations with the rail-
roads and the Federal Labor Board.
While no announeement has yet
been made, it was said the Brother-
hood had decided to accept the 121/2
per eent. reduction a last July and
would accept assurances of the Labor
Board given some days ago, and re-
iterated, that the roads would not
press for further wage reductions
within a year.
Only fourteen of the general cent-
mittee, of some 300 men, it was said,
had voted against adopting the reso-

Most of his assoeletes have been con-

heeded the Marshal's tirades against
cigars, "which distress you, hurt
your head and are mare dangerous
than a saipe."
In speaking to the correspondent
of the internation situation as he
sees it, the Marshal said:
"Conditions in Frame are still
very distressing, owing to the neces-
sity of Treconotruetion and the tricks
which the Germane treat -ley to
avoid fulfilling their promises. They
are trying to escape respon,sibilities
by evading their obligations."

ment to the Tax Revision Bill,
directing the Secretary of the
Treasury to immediately refund
foreign loans and calling for the
payment of interest by the Al-
lied Governments aftr January

The amendment was offered
by Senator McKellar, Democrat,
of Tennessee. It "directed" and
"instructed" the Secretary of '
the Treasury to accept long-
term bonds from the nations
owing the United States $1.1,-
000,000,000, for both the princi-
pal and unpaid interest up to

Life's Own Terms.
Our lives were net of our own elec-
tion. es those who grumble at fortune
are fond of reminding us, We had no
say as to where or when we should
come into the world, and some of us
would have made choices vastly dif-
ferent. We always have with ns theee
who vat the. fond lotekward lea. to
the supposed superior felicity of a
bygone day end lament that they did
not live in it. They tell us that mod-
ern times are decedent and modern
youth degenerate till we grow tired of
hearing them and wish that instead of
vain 1,411watt-that they would busy
themselves. toward the improvement
they desire.
Vfre came on earth to grapple with
life net as we wieh it were, not as
eve think itought to be, but as it is.
Life imposes the conditions, not we
who live it. Nature was in bushess
and natural lew was in working order
long before we appeared on the seene.
We mut succumb or perish. Most of •
the time our bitterness against the
ordainment is the result of our own
willful, impetuous disobedience. The A Sinn 'Fein Delegate in London
warning stared us in the face, and we
overran it. We knew the rule we
broke. We imagined Nature, while
,she might punish the rest, would
show us a particular indulgence. We
were deceived; but our ruefulness
came too late.
The Men who contplain most are
those. ieost inclined to obey. Discipline
to them always has beedistasteful.
At ch'llren, they overruled parentel
aLltP :try; as aduItS, they qvereede
prescriptions whose reason was long
-ago nta.de clear. They have studied
history not at all or to no purpose.
They have learned nothing from the
observable experience of mankind.
They. have not recognized that Na-
ture is as willing to chastise a king
as to rebuke a commoner who does
not obey her edicts.
Through life, whether we like it or
not, we are under a reign of law in
one form or another. We might as
well submit, with .such grace as we
are able to show; for the law is puis-
sant beyond any force we can muster
to resist it. When a man thinks he
oan beat life at its own great and
immemorial game he becomes as use-
less to society as he who studies to
circumvent the law. Often as it has
been told, the tale still bears the tell-
ing of Margaret •Fuller's complacent
aequiescence in her destiny; and Car-
bile's- comment thereupon. accept

. eendental lady. "Egad, she'd better!"
fulminated the Sage of Chelsea when
he heard of the remark.

Peace Example
A despatch from London says:
—The century of perfect peace
between the United States and
Canada was cited as an example
to the world by Viscount James
Bryce at a luncheon in his honor
by the English-speaking union.
The disarmament agreement,
affecting 3,000 miles of bound-
ary between Canada and the
United States, is an arrange-
ment which should be made
world-wide, he said.
Viscount Bryce was formally
welcomed home after his recent
lecture tour of the United States.
Minister of Education Fisher,
the United States Ambassador,
George Harvey, and other pro-
minent British and United
States officials attended the
luncheon.
