All chance of further spread of the rail road strike was squelched today when the general chairman of the brotherhood of clerks and freight handlers meeting here agreed to hold up any further orders for walkouts. Strikes of clerks and freight handlers have already been or dered on a few roads. Union leaders were In touch with members of the railroad labor board shortly before the agreement was reached and their strike call was suspended under a compromise with the board to consider immediately requests for a wage increase. The labor board announced that with the clerks' decision, all unions which have taken strike votes and threatened a walkout, had agreed to hold up immediate action in .sympathy with the shopmen's strike. HIIIH1WMI HJWIli i'it'- ifiiiiiriniiiil n lirim' li Tn i "V Chicago, July 23. Railroads and union chiefs today waited for the next move toward settlement of the rail strike. Altho the public's eyes were turn ed on Washington as the place from which the next step toward peace is likely to come, indications pointed to the resumption of secret negotia tions here. Despite Chairman Ben W. Hoop er's assertion that the board "con templated no further action," it was reported that Hooper and B. M. Jew ell, president of the striking shop men, were again holding conferences. Both sides refused to deny or affirm this report. Altho union leaders have declared that they would not consider settle- 1 1, i Duces new tire lowest cost vtiJcagc ever known, Effective July 20th, Goodrich establishes a revised price list that is a base line of tire value. It gives the motorist the buying advantage of knowing that what ever sire tire he selects is of the same quality the Goodrich one-quality standard. It gives him the long est mileage, the most satisfactory service and the high est quality his money can buy. Results will prove that it is impossible to buy tire mileage at lower cost. Think of being able to buy liver town lqf as at such prices as these: BASE LINE ctTT7 BASE LINE 5Lfc PRICE ZlZ.t. PRICE 30x3 CL $13.50 34x4 S. B. $30.85 31x3.85 CI. 15.95 32 x 4 S. B. 37.70 30 x!H S.

F.GOODRICH RUBBER COMPANY, A kron, Ohio r. 4 r'- ' ment by individual roads it was again indicated that the strike may be broken up thru separate agree ments. Union chiefs altho opposed to such settlement continue to author ize conferences aimed at individual peace. Middle west railroad executives laid plans to form a company or ganization which would more strong ly intrench the position of the men who refused to strike and the men employed. Union chiefs viewed the move with alarm but refused to comment. They indicated, however, that should such organization be perfected, it would definitely eliminate any chance the strikers have of returning to work under their old seniority rights. The question of seniority rights is the chief stumbling block to a settle ment of the strike. President Samuel Felton of the Great Western railroad today denied having informed President Harding that the railroad executives would not consider entering any conference to settle the strike. Felton, a leader in the executives' organization, said that he had never discussed the strike over the phone with the president. The common people are the suf ferers In general, and something has got to be done to save them from suffering this winter. :o: It is quite a while yet till the elec tion Tuesday, November 7. Many "jobs" can be put up on the boys between now and then. :o: "Damn the people," said Vander- bilt. But that won't go this winter if something is not done to relieve the wants of the snffering. :c: An Oregon girl takes two letters at the same time in shorthand. That is nothing. We saw 20 girls talking at once and none missing a word. :o: We might explain in our frank and truthful way to the aspiring Filipinos that even as smart a people as we are we can't govern ourselves very well yet.

A member of the British parliament has introduced a bill for the abatement of , flappers, which provides that all girls shall wear their hair plaited down their back until their sixteenth birthday.

We know a number of women who will resent this claim to superiority, right here in Plattsmouth. :or "Retail Food Prices Up, Too." Well, there is nothing so very etrange about retail prices going up when wholesale prices do. The strangest thing would be for retail prices tt go down when wholesale prices went down.
