That National Agreement
Now that the labor leaders are de
nouncing the railroad managers for
their request to have the war-time
national agreement ended it is perti
nent to inquire into the terms of that
agreement. An incident is related of
the railroad sending two plumbers
from Watcrville a few miles down
the line to set up some heating ap
paratus which took but a few hours
of their time, but owing to train
schedules they were compelled to sit
around, receiving overtime so that
when they finally arrived home each
had to his credit (29 due him from
the railroad for that day’s adventure.
On the Chicago, Great Western
Railroad it is stated that a wrecking
crew, arriving back at its home sta
tion two days after it had left to
clear a wreck, put in under this na
tional agreement claims for time and
a half and double time during the
night periods when they were not
working, and notwithstanding that
the wrecking outfit was equipped
with sleeping and dining facilities
and the men were free to rest, sleep
or eat from 9 P. M. to 7 A. M, they
claimed and were paid a total of 18
hours and 80 minutes pay, represent
ing time while they were performing
no work.
Manifestly such conditions as
those, such exactions of the road’s
revenues when nothing is given in re
turn, Whether made by the employes
or by the managers, are bound to kill
the goose that laid the golden egg.
No enterprise can long be prosperous
under such conditions. And these
instances are by no means rare, it
seems.
One is related of the repair of a
broken car window. The foreman
was capable of repairing it but was
not permitted to dp so. The “right
man’’ had to be sent for, the train
was held an hour and a half while he
did the job and he was able to col
lect of the road five hours pay. And
here is the way they would, under
this agreement, ho compelled to go
about the removing and replacing of
a headlight generator; first an elec
trician to disconnect the wires, a
sheet metal worker to disconnect the
pipes, a machinist to unbolt the old
and bolt on the new generator. Then
the sheet metal worker who has been
sitting around consents to rise and
reconnect the pipes and the electri
cian who may have been having a
game of "seven-up” with the helpers
now connects the wires. If these
men happen to be keeping house how
many and What experts are they em
ploying to wash the dishes? ’ This
inquiry may seem impertinent, but
is it when we realize that a corpora
tion no more than the individual can
afford a foolish waste of effort?
No doubt there has been cause of
complaint and men have been set to
tasks by incompetent or inconsider
ate foremen to which they should not
have been set, nevertheless it ought
to be plain by this time that it is ab
solutely impossible to prescribe rules
to remove all the unreasonableness
of the world. And such evidence as
we have goes to show that this has
been attempted in the case of the
railroads in consequence of which'
they are tangled up and are being
robbed, robbed by the very men who !
have as much interest as anyone that
they Bhall prosper.
Now tills Rule No. 6 doesn’t look
to be so full of mischief. Here It Is:
“All overtime.outside of bul
letin hours, up to and including the
sixteenth hour of service in any one
34-hour period, computed from the
starting time of the employe’s regu
lar shift, shall be paid for at the rate
of time and one half, and thereafter
at the rate of double time, up to the!
starting time of the employe’s regular!
shift”
We have no doubt there were good
grounds for effort on the part of tie
employes to discourage requirement
of their services over unreasonable
periods, but surely it is not to the
advantage of anyone in the ultimate
result to continue such performances
as are reported possible and existing
under this rule. It ought to be ab
rogated in the interests of all con
cerned.

The Journal in the Schools
"The Kennebec Journal has again
been of particular service In the
schools, and on an unusual occasion,
and in a very practical and helpful
way,” Is the unsolicited testimonial
of an educator at Klttery.
The Journal is the State paper. It
endeavors to have its State capital
news especially of interest and profit
to the readers of all the State. At
Klttery, it seems, the superintendent
of schools took occasion on the day
of the funeral of Governor Parkhurst
to demonstrate that “a, good place to
teach some of the better things oi
tho_ State is in the schools.” Con
tinuing our informant says:
“Accordingly, there was a hasty
arrangement on the evening before,
and the teachers planned for the
children themselves to pay their
tribute in the school. And the matter
was then only one of a proper order
of exercises. And the question then
further was only one of proper ma
terial for such a program.
“Practically all of the material was
chosen from the very recent files of
the Kennebec Journal. The teachers
consulted with Judge Justin Henry
Shaw of the Kittery court, and in
one evening they put together not
’ less than twenty appropriate articles
' adapted to the use of the different
| grades. * * *
; "A picture of Governor Parkhurst
i was draped in black, and the school -
I room flag was at half mast, and the
hour for the exercises was the same
j hour announced for the funeral in
I Augusta. After the purpose and
significance of the assembly had been
explained to the children, the chil -
dren themselves carried out the pro
gram with earnestness and interest,
and were impressed with all that
transpired.
“The sketch of Governor Parkhurst
I was based on the article in the “Bi
ographical Sketches" of 1921- by the
j Kennebec Journal Company .this
booklet having been provided by Hon.
Aaron B. Cole, representative from
Kittery and Eliot • • • Suitable
parts of the tributes by Hon. C. P.
Barnes of Houlton, Hon. W. K. Swift
of Augusta, Former Attorney General
Pattangall of Augusta, Senator Hale,
Former Governor Curtis and others,
were used. And fitting parts or ar
ticles from other newspapers, com
piled by the Journal, were assigned
to the boys and .girls. The exercises
i were not too long. The last selection
was the singing of “Nearer My God,
to Thee,” by fhe combined schools.
“The teachers would have consid
ered it very proper not to have
opened the schools for the day; but
upon reflection they thought it would
be much better to have such little
formalities observed as they required
of the children. And Mrs. Tibbetts,
one of the teachers, was of the opin
ion that Governor Parkhurst would
have been more pleased with such
little offerings as the children gave
than he would have been with their
idleness from no school in Kittery.
And Kittery in this respect was sin
cere, and not unmindful of the mean
ing of the day.”
The Associated Press informs us
that “charges of conspiracy and dis
crimination were hurled" at the rail
road hearing. Wonder if the labor
ites insist on “helpers” for each
hurler,” and that a “hurler” shall be
employed for each variety of charge,
one for conspiracy on wages for
engineers, another expert “hurler” for
conspiracy against firemen, another
in the case of car cleaners, and so
on? Employing a hurler that could
do the job neatly and comprehensive
ly at one hurl, without assistant,
vice-assistant, three apprentices with
tenders and extras for overtime,
would be contrary to union rules, you
know,
-
It appears that there is some sur
prise among the English people to
learn that their government has ac
tually approached the United States
on the subject of cancelling debts.
The surprise is not to learn that the
people of this country are opposed
to such cancellation, but because it
was made. Considering the man
dates, privileges and indemnities they
obtain, and which we do not get or
seek, their surprise is to their credit.
When in a city like Philadelphia
thieves are able to steal seized booze
from a warehouse “guarded” by
watchmen on every floor and at every
entrance who may wonder at the
“crime wave”? Ought to move In
dependence Hall out into the woods
where it will be safe.
The clothing manufacturers of
Boston are said to be contemplating
leaving town owing to the strikes.
They have an example in some of the
cigar manufacturers who left because
of a strike.
Some of the constituents of Okla
homa's congresswoman are com
plaining because she didn’t employ a
woman for her secretary in place of
a man. But didn’t the men vote for
her?
Sovietism is said to be making
greater headway in England at the
preesnt time than in any other coun
try outside Russia. At that, the
chances of its ruling England Is
small.
The Natiohal House deserves com

WOMEN MEN ADMIRE
Men admire a pretty face, a good
figure, but most of all the happy,
healthy, contented woman, as beauty
fades and the figure will change.
Women who are troubled with back
ache, headaches, those dreadful drag
ging sensations, and nervous irrita
bility, cannot hope to be popular, and
advancement in either home, busi
ness or social life is impossible. The
cause of these troubles, however,
yields quickly to Lydia E. Pinkhams

natural restorative for such condi

Bowdoin Craft
Nearly Ready
East Boothbay, Me., Feb. 8.—Work
Is almost completed on the hull of
The Bowdoin in which Dr. Donald B.
MacMillan, explorer, will make his
next dash Into the Arctic regions.
The launching of the schooner will
take place in the early Spring and the
vessel will be in shape to depart from
this port by May 1.
Dr. MacMillan is perfecting plans
for an expedition, to begin next Sum
mer, which will include an attempt
to circumnavigate Baffin Land and
penetrate its western coast, 1,000 miles
in length, said to be the longest
stretch of unknown coast line in the
world. He is a frequent visitor here
and keeps careful watch over the con
struction of his ship.
The Bowdoin, which is being built
on the sturdy lines needed in an ex
ploration vessel to withstand the ice
grind, is of the knockabout fishing
schooner type. It will be 88 feet in
length, over all, 20 feet wide and
equipped with 45 horsepower oil burn
ing engines. Three inch oak plank
material is being used for the hull.
Before his departure for the far
north Dr. MacMillan will make an ex
hibition cruise along the coast during
May and June. About July 1, with a
party of six men. the explorer w’ill
sail from Boston for the polar regions.
Under favoruble weather conditions
The Bowdoin should reach Fury and
Hecla Strait early in September.
There the ship will be frozen in.
Leaving their vessel under a lone
guard the party will push forward on
a 200 mile trip on sleds drawn by
dogs. Five Eskimo dog drivers will
accompany the MacMillan outfit
across the rugged, Ice-bound country
which abounds in perils. Establish
ing of a camp 700 miles south of Etah
in the northwestern part of Green
land, is one of the main objectives.
Within the last 12 years, Dr. Mac
Millan has made six trips into the
land of the midnight sun. Most;
famous of these was his expedition by
which he disproved the theory that a
Croker land existed in the extreme
north. At that time he discovered
nine new islands.
On his visits here. Dr. MacMillan
chats freely about his plans and sev
eral hardy marines have begged to be
allowed to accompany him. The
townspeople are preparing to present
a flag to fly from the fore peak of the
Bowdoin.

Six Churches But
No Minister There
Bristol, Me., Feb. 8.—This town,
which consists of seven villages and
has a population of 1500, is entirely
without a minister, this winter. The
town has six churches—four Metho
dist and two Congregational— and
usually has three preachers, two of
whom occupy pulpits in two or more
villages. The first vacancy occurred
last August, when Rev. T. Harold
Grimshaw of the New Harbor and
Pemaquid Methodist churches, re
moved to a town in the northern part
of the State, where he thought the
climate would be more beneficial to
his wife’s health. In November, Rev.
William Henry Jackson, pastor of the
Bristol Mills Congregational church,
resigned, to accept a call to the
charge at South Bristol, an adjoining
town. The last to go was Rev. Mor
ton, the Methodist preacher at Round
Pond, Bristol Mills and Walpole, who
left town for Baltimore, Md., a few
weeks ago. In cases of funerals and
marriages, the ceremonies are being
conducted by a former Methodist min
ister, who was forced to retire from
active practile in his profession, owing
to failing health, and who lives on his
father-in-law's farm, a few miles out
side of Bristol Mills village. The
present condition has not prevailed
before in more than a score of years.

Catarrh Germs
Move Out whan Hyomsl Vovas Xa
No stomach dosing. Hyomel is
made chiefly of oil of eucalyptus taken
from the eucalyptus forests of inland
Australia, and combined with other
excellent antiseptics.
In inland Australia the atmosphere
is so impregnated with balsam thrown
out by the eucalyptus trees that germs
do not thrive, and in consequence
coughs, colds, catarrh and other nose
and throat afflictions are practically
unknown. '
Breathe Hyomel and get the same
pleasant germ killing effect as you
would get in the eucalyptus forests
Hyomel is sold by Fletcher’s Drug
Store and druggists everywhere on a
