When President Wilson signed the bill in late -November which set nsldo tho wonderful ZlonCan yon region of Utah' as a perma nent play ground for tho Ameri can people, a search was mado in tho archives of tho Interior Do-' partment for data and pictures of the now national park.

But J, K; 'Hillers. when ho took that first beautiful plcturo of Angel's Landing-, as shown hero, tied the big unwieldy "wet, plate" camera pf early, photographic days. By ox-team, ho freighted tho bulky outfit over 'three hundred miles from what was then tho end of tho Union Pacific railroad at OgOen, and ho manufactured his plajes, exposed them and develop ed them on tho sppt, as was neor essary In those times. , And now, with Zlon Canyon in tho limelight and hundreds of photographs being taken of it's beauties, Hillers' eaily efforts is still easily tho best on recoul. Mr. Hillers is now an old man, living 'in Washington. Wonders Still There. Many portions of the region are still practically unexplored.

C Tho no publican Publicity Association, through Its president, Hon. Jonnthau Bourne, Jr., today gavo out tho fol lowing stntemeut from its Washing ton headquarters: "Tho untt-stilko clauso of tho Cummins railroad bill presents a vory simple and clearly defined ques tion whether tho public Intorost In transportation shall ho protected or shall bo constantly menaced by tho possibility of Interruption of sorvlco. 1It may bo admittcd.ns claimed by Jalior union spokesmen, that there Is slight danger of a genorul railroad ,tlo-up for any considerable period of time. Tlint thero will not bo such a 'suspension of railroad o'poratlon can riot bo nsscrtod by tho labor unions, however, In view of tho definite threat mado in 191G that a gonoral strike would bo called at a cortaln hour on a specified day unless tho demands of tho employes should .bo met. Tho four brotherhoods de monstrated that a tail tlo-up is a ga,vo possibility fiom which tho na tion may puffer In loss of comfort, convenience, property, and life. I "Tho very fact that labor unions , protest against enactment of the anti-strlko a provision is evlden enough that whenover It suits their I nleasure they will strike to enforco I Mi N 1 their demands. Tho protest of the Duncan U. Fletcher, senior United unions against tho provision should t States senator from Florida, born in cause tho rest ot tho people to insist ' Sumter County, Ga., 61 years ago to upon its enactment for protection of av their own rights and the welfare of I 01e Hanson, former mayor of tho nation . Even though a strike ! Seattle, known for his aggressive may never be called, the possibility Americanism, born in Racine of a strike is a constant menace which every business man must con sider (n every undertaking and in every contract h'e may make. That uncertainty is one of the hazard's of every business that depends upon transportation for Its 'continuance. "But aside from the purely com mercial Interest of the nation in un- broken railroad transportation, there Is the fundamentally more Important.38 years 8R today, 'consideration that a strike is an un- just means of settling a dispute. In an enterprise so vitally impbrtant as transportation, a strike Is nothing more nor less. than application of force. It is entirely within the truth tn nnv thut in iVi fi fh'fniir hrnthnri hoods held a pisfol to' the head d; Congress and commanded enactment I of desired legislation. More etfec not be de- tive intimidation could vised than the threat to interrupt transportation of .supplies, thus stop ping all the wheels of Industry and bringing suffering, starvation and deatijto inhabitants, of "oUtes,. , T6rqet lirf4he,:forn),of a ,s!trtke is ttblrtiXre appioprja.te'.'al J Imethod of settling dlsputos than is force in the rra oi pnysicai violence, ine uum- mins bill proposes a better, remedy, It provides for establishment of committees on wage adjustments, with authority to take testimony rand adjudicate controversies, thus arriving at a fair Judgment as be tween the employes and the public. Every railway wage controversy is in reality between the employes and the public, , for in the final analysis Lthe public pays the wage. "The Cummins bill not only as sures 'an equitable system of settling wnge disputes, but expressly pre serves the individual right to quit railroad employment for any cause, with the single reservation that there shall be no conspiracy to interfere with interstate commerce a strike. Under the Cummins bill, every "rail road employe would be at full lib erty to cease his employment when over ho could secure better wages or moro agreeable work elsewhere, or oven if he desired to ceaso work en tirely. Tho only purpose of tho anti-strike provision is to impose upon railroad employes the same ob ligation that Is Imposed upon rail road owners continuous transporta tion service. Whenover employes are given (the right to strike to forco payment of higher wages, it will be propor to give owners the right to suspend traffic to force payment of higher rates. One privilege is just as reasonable and Just as absurd as the other."
