I, The promised settlement of the'; railroad strike did not materialize. ji It could not in the nature of the'.' case be consummated, that is, it j' could not on the settlement propos-l' |! +Vio Presifipilt. j CU KIJ b*?V The settlement proposed by Pres ident Harding contained three stip ulations; the first provided that both the strikers and the railroads should bind themselves to respect the de cisions of the Labor Board; the sec ond provided for a rehearing of the cases by the Labor Board and the dismissal of all pending actions growing out of the strike; while the third provided that the striking shop men should be restored to .their places with seniority rights unim paired. The shopmen have accepted the conditions as outlined. The railroad executives announced their willing ness to accept the two first of the /?rv*?/ii+i(inc hut refused to accede to! VVUU*VIVMWF - ? the last. In so refusing the railroads stand on solid ground. When the' strike was announced the railroads! promised the men then in their { employ who remained that they.1 would be advanced in seniority rights, and they made like promises! to new men who came in to take! the places of the strikers. ' These 1 promises constituted a part of the contract with all of these men, and whether the contract was wisely! *->v riAf nQD/1 nnf nnw Tip port- i Jiiauc Ul live, uvvu w v ..w .. | sidered. It is a contract and the! terms of the contract and none of j them may be disregarded by any( man of morals nor by any railroad j company without subjecting itself to innumerabfe actions at law for dam ages on account of the breach of the contract. j President Harding, it seems to us I shows up at a disadvantage in asking; the railroads to disregard their a greements with the faithful men who j stuck to their jobs and to the new men who have taken the places of ] those who quit their jobs. If he real- j ized that his business is to command the peace to the extent that every ' man and every corporation be given a chance to perform his or its du- t ties to the public instead of trying ' to make votes for himself and his 1 party by undertaking to make a set- I tlomont u/V??/?Vi will ho cnticfnr?tnrv ! both to the railroads and the strik- I ers, leaving the public with the bur- j den to bear, he would come nearer i complying with his oath of office. ! His actions and the actions of those ! with him are typified by h;s hench- i man Ben W. Hooper of the Labor < Board. Pretending to be a member ; of a court to decide controversies, ?the latter renders his decision and . then runs around the country like an Abbeville (Jounty vote solicitor offering this and the other induce ment to get the two sides to support him. Naturally the people have about as much respect for his decisions as ; they do for those of the baseball umpire when he decides against the home team. We think the strike will settle it self within two weeks if the officers of the law will do their duty. The threat of the president to put the railroads in the hands of receivers because they do not run their trains, when the reason they do not run their trains is because the president does not command the peace, is about in line with the proposal of | the president that the railroads break their contracts with the men who are now helping to run the rail roads. We contend that the only obliga tion of the president is to see that the law is obeyed and the railroads be kept running, and that he hasi nothing to do with what employees are engaged to run them. Tihat may not be the way to get votes, but it is the law. INTERVIEWS MISS FRITH F Who is Attending Summer School At Bryn Mawr. At the opening of the Bryn Mawr Summer School for Women Workers in Industry Miss Thomas, retired president of Bryn Mawr College, paid, "I want you young women to 1 realize that you are doing the great- 11 est thing in the world that you can s do for working men and women by ^ coming here and taking advantage ^ yf the opportunities which are being ^ offered you to train your minds to t think. You can do nothing greater ^ for yourselves, and for the world in ^ >vhich you live, than to get educa- c ;ion." That this education is not merely c \ question of what one gets from r aooks is shown daily at the Bryn Jt Vlawr Summer School.' It is a ques :ion of learning what other people ire thinking about and of hearing Jther people's point of view. It is i question of learning things that litherto have been hidden. Different :ypes of girls are finding themselves :hrough different types of study. Miss Bessie Frith, of Abbeville, a worker in the textile mill there, is taking courses in literature, Eng lish Composition, Economics, Science ind Hygiene, and of them all she loves science best, especially that il branch of it which deals with nature. Perhaps her love of nature is due, in part, to the fact that as a little jirl she lived in the country and thus fiad opportunities for observing na ture which most of the girls at the school, who have come from large industrial centers, have never had. The course on nature study is not' only given by means of books and lectures but by actual contact with nature, through hikes in the neigh borhood. Quite a remarkable collec-1/ tion of butterfles has been gotten to-'a -ther in this way And on one of t 1 1 *1?? a/J 4*llo tnese nines *uu>s rum xco<.utu t littlfe bird which is shown in the pic- 't ture. . | The study of economics Miss Frith j finds very difficult because of her ( lack of schooling, but she feels that ? she is getting from it a better un- \ derstanding of the great controver-'t sial questions conAected with the la-' c bor movement. The study of Litera-'c ture, dealing as it does with prose, a poeti-y and drama, appeals very much j r to Miss Frith, especially the study of i poetry, due perhaps to her intense' love of nature. Of all the poetry she ' has read. Shellev's "Ode to a Sky-'? ' v * ,a lark" is the one she likes best. Miss j Frith feels the need of detailed ex-('j perience in writing and she - is get-|j. ting this in her course in English! Composition. She wishes that other jirls might be . able to have the' :ourse in Hygiene which is given [j lere because she feels that if allljj jirls could be taught the laws of J g health, it would result in a much' ligher standard of general health. | Miss Frith says, "When I arrivedj it Bryn Mawr, I felt that I was in-'ij ieed in another world and no mat-]t :er what I am doing or where I amjt [ feel this wonderful beauty. I have!^ gotten far more from the Summer School than I ever dreamed I could jet and when I return home I am j.. joing to do my best to let everyone ^ {now what the Bryn Mawr Summer -y School has done for me and I hope ;hat other girls from my Sunshine ^ 31ub may be able to come here next ^ fear."

J GREAT BRITAIN WILL v PROTECT HER DEBTS 1 |b London, Aug:. 3.?That Great Bri-I tain has no intention of suggesting j z any alteration of her financial obli- c gations to the United States was re- v emphasized in the House of Com- i mons today by Sir Robert Horne, i chancellor of the exchequer, in re ceiving the British position on Ger man reparations. "I wish to make it clear beyond 1 all question of misapprehension" de- ] clared Sir Robert, "that we recog- 1 nize to the full our obligations to 1 pay our debts to the United States 1 and we do not mean in any shape or 1 form to evade that obligation." 1 LAN NOT REJECTED BY SOUTHERN ROAD )ne of Sixteen Class One Railroads Not Members of National Association. New York, Aug. 3?The Southern ailwav. which today invited strik ~ . . I ng shopmen to negotiations for l settlement based on President j larding's plan was not a party. o the action of Railway Executives ,ere yesterday when it rejected | he president's peace plan, it wasj eclared tonight by Robert S.1 Sinkerd, vice president and chairman ! if the association. tHe stated that the Southern was ?ne of the 16 class 1. American; ailroads which are not members of i he national association and were tot represented at yesterday's con-1 erence of 138 other roads. The Southern has none of the | pr^rdblenv whjic h prompfted the issociiation to (reject IPresideitt [arding's proposal, he declared. It has not hired any new man ince the strike, has not made any >romises to employees who declin d to walk out, ai^i therefore has tot the problem of rewarding loyal ty among its employee or of keep ng pledges made to the men by is officials."
