THE MONETT WUEKLY TIMES. FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1S19. "
WILSON POSTPONES
WAGE SETTLEMENT
.President Asserts No Settlement is
Possible Until Normal Economic
Conditions Are Restored
Through United States.
Washington, Aug. 25. Postpone
ment of the settlement of wage de
mands until normal economic con
ditions are restored was announced to
day by President Wilson as the policy
which the administration will pursue
in dealing with such questions, par
ticularly those affecting railroad
workers.
The president announced also that
it was neither wise nor feasable at this
time, when the most important ques
tion before the country is a return
to a normal price level to attempt to
increase freight rates to provide funds
for higher wages.
"We ought to postpone questions of
this sort until we have the opportunity
for certain calculations as to the re
lations between wages and the cost of
living," the president declared in a
statement to the public explaining
his decision, as to wages. "It is the
duty of every citizen to insist upon a
truce in such contests until intelligent
settlement can be made and made by
peace and effective common counsel.
I appeal to my fellow citizens of every
employment to co-operate in insisting
upon and maintaining such a truce."
Mr. Wilson's statement was issued
in connection with4 the decision of him
self and Director General Hines on de
mands by railroad shopmen for the 25
per cent advance in wages, but the
general policy pronounced covers also
the wage demands of other hundreds
f thousands of railroad workers
which are pending before the director
general or about to be presented. It
is to be expected that other unions
trying to obtain more pay will be ask
led, as the shopmen, to play their part
with other citizens in reducing the cost
.of living by foregoing a temporary
advantage which would add to trans
portation costs.
Committee Told of Decision.
The decision of the president and
the director general was announced to
a committee of 100, representing the
shopmen. In reply to their demands
for a 25 per cent increase, the shop
men were asked to accept an adjust
ment of their pay to the basis of ten
"hours; W efghCTffturS' -work,-which,
ithey contended' Ws given other em
ployes and denied them when the
Adamson law became effective. This
means an advance' of the basic pay
from 68 cents to 72 cents an houf,
-whereas, an increase of 17 cents, to
5 cents an hour, was demanded.
Acting President Jewell of the rail
way "employes' department of the
American Federation of Labor and his
advisers said they would communicate
the decision to the union locals for
acceptance or rejection. A strike vote
.completed yesterday, but not yet tabul
ated, was on the question whether the
men should quit work to enforce con
sideration of thier demands by the
railroad administration instead of by
congressional commission as first sug
gested. As this plan was abandoned
the vote, whatever its result, is non
effective and the shopmen now have
an entirely new question before them.

A TRIBUTE TO THE
MEMORY OF A TRUE, NOBLE
AND FAITHFUL WIFE
The following touching tribute to
his departed wife was made by C. W.
Carens in his newspaper, The Osage
Chief, at Fairfax, Okla.
"If a man die shali he live again?
This is the eternal question. I sat at
the bedside the other night and kept
lonely vigil as a weak little body
racked with pain, battled against in
surmountable odds. Not a second cf
that long lonely night but was filled
with agony for the sufferer; with
grave forebodings for me. And, jutit
as the moon had begun to silver the
tops of the trees down on the river
the little soul boat slipped its moor
ings, and went sailing out across the
bar.
"It was as quiet and peaceful as
though she had fallen asleep pillowed
on my bosom. Rest, complete and
perfect. Disease and suffering had
done their worst, and that worst was
to free her soul that it might fly bactc
from whence it came, and to wring
the hearts of all who had gathered
beside the pitifully silent bedside.
"In that hour, although my ei.r was
not attuned to catch the rustling of
the angels wings, the smile on the
silent face proved to me they had
come and I knew that there never had
been, has not now, and never would
be, but one answer to the eternal
question.
"Yes, a noble and good woman,
whose 21 year of married life had
been tempestuous and filled with sor
row as well as joy, has closed her
eyes upon the turmoils of life and fal
len asleep forever. Sleep! that rest
ful sleep, for which she longed
but could not get in life. No more
shall the stirring scenes of life awaken
her, no more will Jhat humanely hu
man heart throb in answer to ill"
story of human sorrow; resting in that
mysterious sleep which has closed the
eyes of the just and unjust for aeons
of mouldy centuries, that mysterious
sleep from which none has ever
awakened, and which will sooner or
later come to one and all. Nor joy
or sorrow will rouse her from that
last repose nor awaken an answering
pulse in her sleeping heart.
"Sleep on, thou good and noble
woman, sleep, , gently sleep that
dreamless sleep which seals your eye
lids and kisses the furrows from your
brow; sleep for all eternity; resting
in that sweet repose which brought
the balm to the breaking heart of
Christ the Savior, that sweet repose
which fills the breathing of your own
noble heart that heart whose every
throb in life was" bediamoned with
some kind deed done, whose every
quivering pulse was one of joy for
some friend's success, or one of ans
wearing sorrow for a friend'sTravail
and woe; Thou who amidst racking
pains did sing the songs of zion and
talked about a home in heaven, sleep
on, while guardian angels sit beside
your tomb and whisper of that morn
the morn when all the myriad
children of men shall gather in an
eternity of space and joy and love on
the mythical evergreen shore; sleep
on through ages yet to come; sleep
through the passing scenes of cen
turies yet unconceivedj sleep, nor let
the paeans of earthly victory and the
wails of earthly woe mar nor break
the calmness of thy last repose; sleep
on, forever sleep, resting with that
peaceful smile which succeeded the
spasm pains of passing quickness to
stilling death that smile which camo
as angel voices whispered in thy dying
ear, "Nearer My God to Thee, Nearer
to Thee." O. W. Carnes."
