EMBARGOES ARE
BEING REMOVED
R. R. Officials Believe There
Will Be No Strike; Back
to Normal Conditions
Bv Associated rress
Chicago, Sept. 2. Railroads of the
country abandoned preparations for
war to-day and reverted to those for
peace. From all over the country
railroad heads announced that em
bargoes placed on shipments as a war
measure were revoked.
In Chicago the usual meeting of
railroad presidents was not held. It
was assumed that the Adamson bill
would pass the Senate to-night that
the strike order will be recalled and
that trains would run as usual Mon
day morning, the date set for the
walkout.
Other railroads are preparing to
curtail the restrictions on freight ship
ments to-da.v and officials predicted
that practically normal conditions will
prevail on all lines within thirty-six
hours.
Railroad executives, although ex
pressing the belief that passage of the
eight-hour bill by the House of Repre
sentatives and the prospects of Its
pass-age by the Senate to-night had
practically removed all danger of a
strike at present, announced many
desertions from the ranks of the broth
erhoods in the Middle West and as
serted they had sufficient men to op
erate trains on most of the roads in
the event of a strike.
On several of the big Middle West
ern roads general managers claimed
as high as 25 per cent, of the engineers
and conductors have given assurances
that they will remain at work even
though the strike is put into effect.
Heavy Pnssenjrcr Traffic
Railroads with headquarters In
St. Louis, Mo., announced that begin
ning to-day they would accept freight
of any kind for any destination on
their lines or branches. Railroads
which have already modified the em
bargoes as announced several days ago
and which are to-day working under
more nearly normal conditions Include
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
Chicago and Northwestern. Union Pa
cific, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
and Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul,
in the west, and the New York Central
and the Erie in the east.
Railroad passenger traffic through
Chicago for the last two days has been
heavier than for many months, the
large increase being attributed to anx
iet.. of tourists to reach their homes
before next Monday, the time set for
the strike.
Kastem Roads to Follow
Feeling assured that the strike or
der will be canceled, the following
railroads to-day revoked their em
bargoes:
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul;
Chicago and Alton; Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific; Chicago and
Northwestern; Monon; Chicago and
Eastern Illinois; Chicago Greatwest
ern and the Illinois Central. The Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy revoked
its order last night. Western railroad
heads said that they understood east
ern railroads would take similar ac
tion in the course of the day.
MOTHER-IN-LAW PROBLEM
IS BAXE OF MODERN HOME
Dorothy Di.x Declares
Only Solution Is for Both Wife and
Mother to Sacrifice Their Own De
sires for Happiness of Man They
Love—Many Useless Tragedies Are
Due to Jealousy.
By Dorothy Di.x
I get a great many sad letters In
which women pour out to me sorrow
ful secrets of their hearts and ask ad
vice on problems that only omniscient
wisdom itself could solve, and that are
so far beyond my own poor powers that
I do not even dare to try to answer
them.
Of all the pathetic letters that come
to me, however, none are so pitiful
as those that deal with the question
of the mother-in-law, because they al
ways reveal a useless tragedy and one
! that is due only to jealousy and selfish
ness and lack of self-control.
Sometimes these letters are from the
daughter-in-law, sometimes from the
mother-in-law. Often a young wife
writes that she is married to a good
man who loves her and whom she
loves; that she has a beautiful home
and her life would be perfectly happy
except for the nagging of her mother
in-law.
The older woman lives in the house
with the younger one and criticizes ev
erything that the young wife does. She
calls the husband's attention to his
wife's faults. She tells him that his
wife is extravagant, or a bad manager,
or too fond of amusement, and in a
thousand little ways she comes between
husband and wife and makes the wife's
life a martyrdom.
Often the letter is the heart-broken
wail of an old woman who tells of the
cruelty of a daughter-in-law who is so
mean and selfish that she begrudges
her husband's mother a place under
her roof and a seat at her table. The
old mother is made to feel herself a
burden. He is snubbed, thrust aside,
treated without honor or respect, and
the wife uses her influence to wean her
husband from his own mother.
Hard to Understand Attitude Taken
in This Matter by (iood Women.
The most curious thing about the
mother-in-law problem is that these
women, who act like fiends toward each
other, and who inflict on each other a
torture as ruthless as the Inquisition,
and sacrifice the man they both love
to their malevolent tempers, are not
the abandoned wretches one might
suppose. On the contrary, they are
good. Christian, church-going women
who think a lot about doing their duty,
and are full of charity and loving kind
ness to everybody except their in-laws.
I know a family such as this, in
which both mother-in-law and daugh
ter-in-law are women of exceptional
nobility of character; but they fell out
over a mere trifle and hate each other
with a ferocity that is simply appal
ling. Not long ago, when I had lis
tened for the millionth time to the
mother-in-law's abuse of her daughter
in-law, I said to her:
"Well, what are you trying to do?
Are you trying to separate your son
from his wife by making these cease
less complaints to him? Do you think
that he will be happier parted from
his wife than with her? Do you think
that he will be better off if you break
up his home? Will these little chil
dren have a finer chance in the world
if they are half orphaned, if their
father and mother are divorced?"
She looked at me in horror. "You
know," she cried, "that I think divorce
is a sin and a disgrace, and that I
wouldn't break up my son's home for
the world, or separate him from his
wife. 1 would die first." «
"Then why are you trying to kill your
son's love for hla wife by pointing out
her faults to him, and making trouble
betwtett U»«m by bearing tales to him?'

® Republican Committee Urges
P Electors to Become Assessed
? by September 6
3 Don't forget to ho assessed on or
j before Wednesday, September 6.
That cryptic little tip was the key-
J note of last evening's enthusiastic
j meeting of the members of the city
. and county Republican committees
* which was held at the Republican
headquarters.
The situation generally insofar as
the Republican outlook for a sweep
* ing victory in November is concerned,
was discussed, too, and talks were
; made by State Senator E. E. Beidle-
I man, Representative Augustus Wild
-1 man, Charles E. Pass and City Chair
- man Harry F. Oves.
j Plans incidentally were completed
j for blocking off the city into districts
. in order to facilitate the work of as
* sessment and registration of Republi
can voters. September 7 is the first
of the Fall registration days and in
order to register the voter of course
must show a receipt for taxes paid
either this year or last year. If he
hasn't a last year's receipt he must
' pay this year. In order to pay his
■ tax he must be assessed and September
r 6 is the last day upon which he may
j attend to this duty.
"We had a largely attended meet
ing," said Chairman Oves, "and splen
did talks on the prospects for a big
i victory in November were given by
. Senator Beidleman, Mr. Wildman and
. Mr. Pass.
k "What we do urge upon Republican
voters of course, is the importance of
- bec&ming assessed, and above all
t things—to register early. If you reg
r ister on the first registration day you
needn't bother about this duty later;
a your duty is performed."

o WAYNESBORO FOLKS HERE
Upwards of 1000 people from Way
nesboro spent to-day in Harrisburg. 1
~ They came here on the annual ex
e cursion from that place. Two special
a trains were run over the Cumberland
S, Valley Railroad from Waynesboro to
d Harrisburg.
I demanded. And she could not ans
wer.
Undeniably it is hard for two women
to live together in peace. But there
are some things that the women so
placed might think upon with profit.
One is that the woman whose soft
supports and cherishes her in her old
age owes him enough gratitude to get
along at. least in outward peace with
his wife. She may not like her daugh
ter-in-law, but she can maintain an
attitude of amiability toward her and
not make her son miserable by stirring
up strife in his home.
Man's Happiness Depends Upon Way
His Wife and Mother Get Along.
And the woman whose mother-in-law
is a guest under her roof may rest
assured that she has no higher duty on
earth than to care for the woman who
has given her a good husband. She
should- remember what that other
woman has suffered and sacrificed to
raise to man's estate a man who is fit
to marry. It is a debt of honor that
every daughter-in-law should pay In
tenderness and sympathy.
For the crux of the whole matter is
this —a man's happiness Is bound up
in the way his wife and mother get
alflng together, if they live in the same
house They may be as antagonistic
as oil and water, they may entertain a
Kilkenny-cat feeling toward each other,
love is great enough to go down into
the gutter and bear up the poor dere
but if they really love the son and hus
band they should be willing to sink
their differences and sacrifice the
pleasure of fighting for his sake.
But Heaven help the mother-in-law
and daughter-in-law who are con
demned by fate to live under the same
roof! And Heaven pity the man who
has to live with both of them!
NEW PLAY MAKES
DECIDED HIT
"For the Man She Loved" Play
ed to Enthusiastic Audience
at Orpheum
Wood, Wheeler and Aiston last night
presented a three-act drama, "For the
Man She Loved," to a small but appre
ciative audience at the Orpheum
Theater.
This is the first of a series of plays
chosen for the new international cir
cuit which embraces such cities as
Washington, Baltimore and Philadel
phia.
The story is a thoroughly interesting
one, well told and well played by a cast
of rather above the ordinary type
found in stock. However, there are
spots where the story seems to drag a
bit, but on the whole proved very en
tertaining.
The stage settings themselves were
notable and showed by their complete
ness that they had been worked out to
the most minute detail. Taken as a
whole,- the piece is well worth while,
and it is hoped that a far larger audi
ence will be on hand to-night to wit
ness the last appearance of the piece.
