WALKOUT IS THUS AVERTED s New York, March 19. An official of the conference committee of railroad managers announced at 12: l". a. m. that the railroad strike was off. A few minutes after the announce ment was made the railroad managers went from the Grand Central terminal to the conference hotel and were joined immediately by the mediators. They refused to make any statement on the way to the meeting room. It was presumed the announcement would be made through Secretary Lane.

It would make a lot of extra work for the local elevator man; and a lot of ex tra work and a new lot of high priced employes at Lincoln and ac complish nothing. Storing grain is not practical at country stations and why those foolish ware-house laws should bob up and pass each session of the legislature is a mystery. This is one of Shorthill's bills and on his recommendation it will get a large po!u for the nation in ca."c the United States actually enters the war. This possibility was mentioned by the presi dent in his inaugural address March a.

The "overt act" described by him has act ually come; if, in fact, it had not be?n committed when the president went before congress again. Since thin he has established a state of armed neu trality with the specific authority of congress. President Wilson was out automo- lot of votes of country members and hiUnK when thc first Associated Press the city members don't care. These laws don't hurt them and they think by voting for a farmer's measure they in turn will get a vote back for one of their pet bills. A combination of this kind is hard to beat. The net result will probably be two ware house laws on our statute books and neither one of any good to the farm ers. The only place for a farmer to store grain is in his granary.
