President Rooseveli To the Rescue President Roosevelt has again proved his great value to this country in settling disputes between capital and labor by seeking to prevent a strike of the firemen on the Southern Pacific railway. A meeting was held in the rooms of Interstate commerce Commissioners M. A. Knapp and E. E. Clark, at the Palmer house, Chicago, Sunday night, which, it is said, resulted in the controversy being in a fair way of being settled. The two commissioners have thus far carried out the president's wishes that everything should be done to patch up a fruce between the warring factions, and avert what might become a general disturbance on the railways of immense consequence to commerce. If the president's efforts bring peace, the nation may congratulate itself. Were the railways at this particular time to be tied up by a strike It would mean nothing short of a disastrous panic for the whole country. The majority of our business today is done by credit. Most manufacturers buy their raw material on credit. thirty days, sixty days, ninety days, or even longer. Wholesalers sell their wares on the same plan. Now, if our railways were. crippled and tied up by a strike, practically our whole internal commerce would come to a standstill. Manufacturers and wholesalers would be unable to deliver their unfilled orders and collect the money due Them therefore, and commercial chaos would result. The danger Is more imminent at this time of the year, as it is one of the busiest seasons for railways. Even as it is, the railways are not fully able to handle the enormous traffic they have this year. The northwest at present is experiencing a coal famine, because the railways have been compelled to use coal cars to help carry some of the enormous business the past prosperous year has produced. Therefore, the serious consequences that would follow a strike effecting the railways just now can be seen readily. . i Thitt President Roosevelt is the man to deal with the present situation, everyone will admit. The country has not yet forgotten the effective manner in which he settled the great coal strike several years ago with impartial justice. That ho can settle the impending strike in a similar manner is a foregone conclusion.

Of ASr TpmS Publishers' Press. cmcaso, ........ .. ---J-ivBiJent Roosevelt took a hand iu th labor situation threattniag the railroads of the eountry through the strike of firemen, en the Southern Pacific, and caused a conference to be held here with to be held at the Palmer house, with the result that the controversy is in a fair way of being settled. The meeting was held In the rooms of Interstate Commerce Commissioners M. A. Knapp and E. E. Clark, who immediately after their arrival set to work to bring the warring chiefs of the railway brotherhoods together. Announcement was made by Mr. Knapp that the prospects were bripht for peace. Mr. Clark, It is said, consulted President Roosevelt by telephone before he left New York. He carried with him the president's wishes that everything should be dene to patch up a truce between the engineers and firemen, and avert what threatened to become a general disturbance on the railroads. Mr. Clark also was said to be in communication with Charles W. Neil, of the labor bureau, who is in Texas endeavoring to arrange a settlement on the president's plans. Committees of firemen are here to present wage demands affecting about 67,000 men. With the arrival of the firemen and the trainmen, and with the engineers already engaged in wage negotiations, one of the greatest wages conferences ever held in Chicago opened Monday. The total number of men whose incomes for the next year will be affected by the outcome is in the neighborhood of 225,000. Chairman Knapp, after the conference, announced that the question of a strike will be left to a referendum vote of men on the Southern Pacific. Chairman Knapp declared that in his opinion there will be no strike. BOMBED BANK REOPENS One of the Victims of the Philadelphia Explosion Will Likely Lose His Sight.

CENTRAL ADVISORY BOARD

BODY WILL HAVE GENERAL OVERSIGHT OVER THE WORK TO INCLUDE THE ENTIRE COUNTY IN ITS SCOPE. The meeting of the representatives of the various charitable organizations of Richmond, which was held yesterday afternoon In the council chamber at the city building, was more successful than even the most sanguine would have dared to predict in that a new and broader organiza tion that has ever been Richmond's privilege to enjoy, was effected. It will not only keep a close tab on the charitable work in Richmond, but the whole of Wayne county will fall within the jurisdiction of the new asso ciation, which will be known as the council of associated charities of Wayne county.. The council will be composed of representatives from all the charit able institutions of the city, including the Flower Mission, Penny club. Wo men's Relief Corps, the county board of charities, and the Mutual Helpers, an organization composed of the col ored ladies of the city. All of the charitable organizations will be con ducted outside of any church jurisdiction. In addition to the members or rep resentatives of, the. charitable organizations of the city, it was seen that if the county association reached the field that was intended and was a thoroughly representative organiza tion, the prosecutor, truant officer and the trustees would have to become members. In this way the central board can come into contact with the work all over the county. The purpose is not to take on any of the separate duties now performed bv the individual organizations, who are working for the relief of the suffering in the city, but to form an advisory body, which will look after the broader questions that fall under the jurisdiction of charitable socie ties. Each organization now in the city will continue to control its own finances and distribute its charities. The central board will serve as an advisory body, and In case question arises as to the worthiness of the poor who seek aid of the individual so cieties, their history and condition will be investigated and reported to the individual organization, which will act as they see fit. In case a husband or father is out of work the central board will trp and place him. In case a boy is in digent circumstances, his welfare will be looked after by the central board, and arrangements made for his betterment. One of the objects of the forming of a central neaa was 10 protect ine many charitable organizations of the city against imposition. This can be easily done by this body as it will be thoroughly acquainted with what all of the lesser bodies are doing. In case a man or woman asks for aid and he or she is unknown,, the investiation of their circumstances will be made by the central body and report made to the society of whom the first aid is asked, hose persons who have in the past made it a business, and also a comfortable living by begging from one society to another, and who have come to be known as "repeaters," will be done away with, placing the whole work on a systematic basis and on a basis where greater and more lasting good can be accom plished. A committee was yesterday appoint ed to draft a constitution and by-laws for the new council of associated charities of Wayne county. It is com posed of Mrs. Charles Swain of the Women's Relief Corps; Mrs. Richard Study of the Flower Mission, and the Rev. Dr. Huber of the Associated! Charities. One representative from j each charitable organization will be placed on the committeee, but the remainder will be selected by their own individual societies. Corey's Plans Not Known.

On being asked what the word was and how he spelled It Willie told, her the word was pneumonia and that he had spelled It n-e-u-m-o-n-I-a. The next day Willie came home crying even harder than the day before.
