London, Jan. 20.—By midnight to night British railroads will be tied up by a strike of 60,000 locomotive engi neers and Bremen. Negotiations for a settlement, which were carried cn until 3 this morning, were not resumed later in the day, the companies and the union leaders de voting all their energies to the preparations for the strike. The dispute was due to the ballot decision of the engineers and firemen pot to accept the award of the na tional wage board, which cut the wages of engine drivers by $2,20 to $5 a week and the pay of firemen by $2 to $4 weekly. The National Union of Railway Men, with a membership of 325,000, unanimously accepted the cuts, but I ho Associated Society of Locomotive Kngineers and Firemen, which is not affiliated with the National Union of Railway Men, voted six to one against acceptance of the cuts Thus the tieup is due to the re calcitrance of one-sixth of the total number of railway workers. J. if.

U. R. Brornlt-y declares that the mem are Justified in resisting the cuts, but the companies point out that moMt of the engineers still earn $32 weekly after the application of the new wage reduction scale. The railroads promise the public restricted service in spite of the strike. Local authorities are mobiliz ing auto trucks and guarantee food supplies.

Often have I been can-led by my destination because I simply couln’t 1-esist the fascination of watching the conductor grinding away at It. It gets pennies and dimes and nickels and metal checks. Comes an influx of passengers and the dingus absorbs a conglomerate mass of copper, nickel silver and bronze Then the conductor proceeds to work that crank attached alongside, chatting the while, mayhap, with a friend. How long must he turn it be fore all the separate pieces go through? How does the dingus dif ferential! between the pieces and chef k up on them'.’ I low iloes It add up and register tin- totals'- Will it reject counter feit coins? I've never seen It tackle a quarter, but would It absorb one, count It through and add It to the to tal? These problems worry me. Tilings have reached the point where I must have a thorough explanation or In self defense I will have to walk. The men tal strain Is growing awful. Were I convinced that this '-on science thing wouldn' t get to work ing In the reverse Kngllsh I’d pro mote more aetlon like that leading to receipt of $300 by .Mrs. Ida. IlichHi-ds. If awakening of consciences would Induce a lot of fellows to forward to me what they rightfully owo me, It would be easily possible for me to let my own conscience put In some over time work. As the matter now stands I'm hopeful I can keep my Inward monitor somewhat somnolent. Hut I do wish some method could he devised whpreby the other fellow s Conscience could he stirred to the debts. I am thinking particular!) of a few politi cs! Ingrales foi whom 1 have fronted in days gone by, only tu be over looked, Ignored and forgotten. Some thing Should Be Bone About It. Sign In an elevator In a Farnam street offli e building: "Please do not throw your burned matches In this elevator throw them In the street where there Is more room.” It Is awfully annoying to stumble over a burned match as ons enters an elevator. But. It li more annoying to enter one all cluttered by the carelessness and lark of cleanliness of others. Shocked to note that democratic leaders In Council RlufCp find If neces sary to drift candidates. However, there Is nothing! I like belter than to lie of servlco to my democratic friends everywhere, hence I hasten to assure Jacksonian friends across the creek that there are a few Nebraska democrats I'd gladly spam to them. Their removal east waul might not help Iowa and Council Rinds much, but II would mightily please n lot of leal democrats In Nebraska. — Still another good thing about the radio.

It is the duty of the governor to name the judge. Who will fill the vacancy until after the fall election. A considerable amount of work on the dockets at tills time, all that two judges can handle, makes it more than likely that the governor will make Ida appointment without delay. Corey Tells of Row Over Job in Omaha Visit Confidence in Being Cleared of Any Charge of Collusion Voiced by Farm Loan Member. Merton L. Corey, member of the farm loan board at Washington, D. C., stopped off in OmaJia yesterday between trains and conferred with officers of the federal land and the federal Intermediate banks of Omaha. In connection with the recent die cussion for and against the conflmia ! tion of Mr. Corey's appointment as a member of the board, Mr. Corey said: “The charge that membets of the federal farm loan board were parties to a collusive deal or that they do not deserve confirmation because of an alleged Improvident approval of a business contract executed by the federal land banka under full legal authority, has been presented to the senate banking and currency com mittee. Knowing the facts, as I do, and having the utmost confidence in the fair Judicial attitude of the com mittee, I am content to await their decision. Kiplaloi Appointment. "If there Is any foundation for thla attack upon us they will mo find. If they report favorably for confirmation that should aatlly tUoaa who have suspected wrong doing.

"I shall deserve removal if In the nddst of years of fighting for better farm credits 1 have connived to se cure a position through autih an im moral scheme. It Is generally known In Washington that there Is not the slightest foundation In fart for such a charge. Thers was no political significance to my appointment.
