Superintendent George W. llayden of the

negotiations looking to a settlement of
the strike. His announcement came aa
a surpriso to both the members ot tpo
state board of mediation and the repre

between tho company and a committee
of the men had been arranged for this
afternoon.
The company's refusal to recognize the
union and Its proposition to re-emplny
the men only as they wero needed wore
distasteful to the mn and a modlflca
tlon ot both of these clauses was sought.
Mr. llayden's statement says: "I am

the men ami' they may take It or leave.
It. 1 will not meet a committee' of the
strikers.
"The company Is willing to take back

Do You Realize That This Means a Saving of $1.50 to $2.50?
Simply ask yourself this question, and the answer "will be quite obvious if you
have ever had a hat trimmed by an expert milliner. She has always charged you

prohibited from attending.
Hrriilil Sound lluicles.
Four heralds, mounted on white horses,
bearing "do-to-Church" signs and con
stantly blowing bugles to attract atten
tion, gave final emphasis throughout the
business district yesterday aftornoon to
tho churchgolng campaign. Today-all po
licemen and street car conductors have
been Instructed by their superiors to of
fer Information as to tho whereabouts ot
churches to all whp.may ask.
The day has been officially recognized
as "Go-to-Church Sunday" by Mayor
James C. Dahlman and Governor John II.
Morehead, both of whom have issued
proclamations urging all citizens to at
tend religious services.
On account of co-operation of Protest
ants, Hebrews, Advcntlsts and members
of other creeds, tho campaign for general
religious activity has not been conllued
to any ono faith or denomination, but ts
being participated In by all. Yesterday
was observed by the Jews and Adventlsts,
who report unusually largo congregations
at their services. The general committee
which has been directing the movement
points out that by being n eo-operatlve
movement merely for Increased religious
activity, tho campaign avoids being a
sectarian proposition and will result In
a general moral uplift, rather than in
temporary ''revival' excitement.
President Woodrow Wilson has en
dorsed ','Go-to-Church" campaigns In the
following language:
"t need not toll you that efforts to
quicken the church-golirk habit meets
with my warmest sympathy. It has al
ways seemed to me that the habit of
going to church somehow lays the foun
dation ot steadfast character and the
maintenance of the standards ot lire."
He nent the above message to the
committee in charge of the recent "Go-to-Church"
mpvement ut Pellfontalne, O.
The churoh aa an advertiser was thor
oughly dlaoussed by Hov. Edwin Hart
Jenks at the First Presbyterian church
last 'Sunday In u way that made It plain
that advertising by churches Is as legiti
mate and worthy an undertaking as ring
ing a church bell to call people .to church,
which j practice has Ih-cii followed for
many centuries. Advertising, the minister
declared, was simply the modern way ot
ringing the church bell. At the same
church at 7:30 o'clock this evening, a spe
cial musical service will bo given In
honor of the ninety-fourth blrthdsy ot
Fanny Crosby, the noted hymn writer.
Miss Ruth Ganson will sing a solo with

render several selections.
At the Young Men's Christian associa
