A WELOONE ISSUF
The Republican
paring to
Presivent Wilson's section in prevent-
ing a railroad strike, It is an iseue
that the President ought to welcome.
The President's strike-settlement
plan comprises these measures which
were defined in his address to Con-
grees ;
1. Immediate provision for the enlarge-
ment of the Interstate Commerce Commission
to meet its duties,
2. An eight-hour day as the legal baals of
work and wages for train operatives,
3. The appointment of a comm fission to ob
serve the actual workings of the eight-hour
day and report the facts to Congress,
4. Authorizing the Interstate Commerce
Commission to take wages and working con-
ditions into consideration
5 Provision for compuisory public investi
gation of labor disputes in raliroad operation
before a strike or a lock-oul may be declared.
6, Lodging in the hands of the President
power 10 operate railroads in case of military
necessity and to draft train crews and ad
ministrative officials for thai purpose.
Owing to legislative conditions in
Washiogtor, Congress passed only the
second and third of the President's
recommendations and provided tbat
the commission to beaprointed should

programme is bound to vecome the
most important work of Congrees in
its next session, The enactment of
the emergency legislation has furnish-
ed a breathing-spell for the full con-
sideration that is necessary,
What do Mr. Hughes and his reac-
tionary Republican mapsgers purpose
to do with their "issue 7’?
Will they pledge themselves to re-
peal the eight-hour day on March 5,
1917, and force a general railroad
strike ?
Will they pledge themselves to op-
pose compulsory public investigation
of railroad labor disputes before a
strike or a lock-out can be declared ?
Will they lege themselves to
throw this whole question back where
it was before the President grappled
with it, and thereby put the American
people at the mercy of the railroad
unions and the railroad Presidents ?
No doubt Wall Street wants Mr.
Hughes and his Bourbon managers to
fight the President's programme, snd
Wall Street pays the Republican
freight, The President can well afford
to encourage them, JThere is no better
court of arbitration on an issue of that
kind than the American people,
Health Commissioner Dixon's order
to clean up small towns and boroughs
will bave no «flect on Centre Hall, for
it ils always as clesn ae 8 rew pin dur-
ing all seasons of the year. A town is
just like its people ; it cannot be other~
wise, We know of some towns where
Dr. Dixon would be obliged to keep a
permanent scrubbing committee to
keep it belf se neat and clean ae

Wallace White, the well driller, is
punching a hole in old mother earth,
immediately to the north and west of
the reservoir, with the bope of finding
an additional supply of water, If
water in sufficient quantity is found, a
pump will be ipetalled to lift it into
the reservoir, Bhould the movement
prove a failure, we'll all join io giving
the councilmen the very deuce for not
having ueed better J dgment than to
attempt to drill for water where there
is none.
I——— A AUP ASAT,
When the contract with teachers
| does not mention time lost on aceount
| of epidemics, the board will not need
| to Pay.
When the contrset mentions a
definite date for opening of echools,
and makes po provision for loss of
time on sceount of epidemics, the
board must pay.
When the contract does not specify
any time for the opening of the school,
and the time of the openli g was not
fixed before the contract was made,
boards ean oblige teachers to ‘ make
up Hime,"”’
The tuperintendent [urther says
| that while appropriations will be paid
| even if schools are nit open during
tHe minimum term, there is no
revepue in sight to reimburses for the
finsncial loss due to the closiug of Lhe

Preminent people of Lewistown

This latter road hes been haled be-
fore the Public Bervice commission,

was ordered to improve the rosd and
