HOLDING BOYS BACK BY THOMAS WILDE One of the earliest lessons that should be instilled into a boy’s ini nd is self-dependence. As soon as tho young of the lower animals aqi able to forage for themselves, their maternal parents cut them adrift to get their own living and the example of the fowls of the air and the beasts of the field in this instance, as in some others, is wholesomely suggestive. Boys are often kept too long out of the world of action that, as men,/hey are intended to bustle in. They are “coddled” too much, especially' by their mothers. One can hardly blame a mother for wishing to keep her young hopeful tied to her apron strings as long as possible. Her desire to retain him by her side arises from one of the most admirable traits in the maternal character. It is so beautifully in accord with her tender nature that, because of her dread of the effect of the world’s temptation upon the mind of her darling, one cannot help loving her the better for her solicitude. But boys' should not be dry nursedptoo long. It detracts from their manliness and makes milksops of them. When a mother has done her by ipibumg the mind of h>r son with sound religious and moral principles, and when he is old enough to battle of life, she should rot object to venture him in the conflict. He is better fitted to begin it than he would be a few years later.

Federal Inquiry Railroad Strike: » • • Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen ’ would impose on the country an additionahiburden in transportation costs ot $100,000,;; a year, the railroads propose that problem be Kittled by reference to :i impartial Federal tribunal. With these employes, whose efficientJservice is acknowledged 8 the railroads have n ' differences that could not be and decided justly by such a public I; . Railroads Urge Publ&Mnquiry and Arbitration The formal proposal of the the employes for the settlement of the controversy is as-follows: f “Our conferences have demonstrated cannot harmonize our differences of opinion, and that eventually the matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your proposals and the proposition of the railways be disposed of by one or the otherxjf l.the following methods: 1., Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce I Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of its accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its control of the revenue of the railways, is in a position to consider and protect the rights and * equities of all the interests affected, and additional revenue necessary to meet the added cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Conwnission to be just and reasonable; or, m the event the Interstate Commerce Commission under existing ,r. raws, act in the premises, that we jointly-Tcquest Congress to take such action as may be necessary to enable the Commission and promptly dispose of the questions involved: or 2. By arbitration in accordance with the-jtdovisions of the Federal law” (ThoNewlands Act). /Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train service brotherfloods, at the joint conference held in New York, June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether authority,shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike. The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: ' No other body with such an intimate directly to the employes as wages; and the knowledge of railroad conditions has such money to pay increased wages can come from an unquestioned position in the public con- no other source than the rates paid by the fidence. public. 1 The rates the railroads may charge the The Interstate Commerce Commission, public for transportation are now largely with its control over rates, is in a position :/ fixed by this Government hoard. to make a complete investigation and render such decision as would protect the interests Out of every dollar received by'the rail* of the railroad employes, the owners of the r roads from the public nearly one-half is paid railroads, and the public. / / A Question For the Public to Decide r' The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid ana constituting only one-fifth of al! the employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts. The single issue before the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by an ttnpartia. Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
