From the Kansan's Wire Services
WASHINGTON-A presidential order to end the Rock Island clerks' strike in which members move in the Midwest elicited favorable comments from both of kansas' Republican senators and Gov. John Carlin.

The three-week-old strike against the bankrupt Rock Island line has tied up massive shipments in the Midwest and is expected to supply goods in 14 states served by the railroad.
In his order, the president told two ranking unions, the Brotherhood of Railway and Transport Union, and the Sportation Union, to go back to work for 60 days. He created an emergency board to recommend a settlement to the labor dispute between the Railroad Commission that it direct service on the line if the Rock Island could not afford the money needed to get the trains rolling again.
"I am taking this action to get the Rock Island island rolling across the grain belt," said Carter, who personally made the announcement.
IT IS THought that it will take seven to 10 days for resumption of Rock Island service in Kansas.
Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan, said, "This action was long overdue. Since further negotiations have failed to solve the dispute between farmers and employees, a 60-day back-to-work order is necessary to move grain out of the Midwest for room uponcoming crops of corn and milo.
Sen. Nancy Landen Kassebaum, R-Kan,
agreed, saying "This is only the first step in
resolving the transportation crisis, but it
is an important one."
CARLIN WAS in Wichita when word of Carter's order reached him. Carlin called the back-to-work order a "very responsible course of action."
Dole had written President Carter a letter Sept. 5, urging his intervention, and Kassabe wrote a similar letter Sept. 11.
"The Interstate Commerce Commission will hopefully follow the president's request to ensure that all railroad operations event the railroad is unable to start up operations," Carlin said in a prepared
While in Wichita, Carlin met with George Stafford, one of eight members of the ICC, which is the agency that must order directed service of the Rock Island.
Directed service means that other railroads would manage service along the Rock Island line.
STAFFORD WAS considered one of the major opponents to directed service before the presidential order, primarily because he viewed it as ICC interference with the union
A spokesman for attorneys General Robert Sikorsky said he and the order's work would be determined by the decision made by Stephan Monday to leak liquidation of the financially eroded Rock Island in federal court.
Kansas and 12 other states are involved in the bankruptcy proceedings as creditors in an effort to obtain more than $4 million in debt. The case has led line to various tazing districts in the state.

"THIS IS just a stopp for the harvest season," said Assistant Attorney general Tom Green, who is handling the Rock Island case for Kansas.
"We are still seeking a long-range solution to the Rock Island's financial situation."
William Gibbons, trustee of the bankrupt railroad, suggested just hours before the government announced that the government unapproved a million in start-up costs and that
negotiation be resumed immediately with the two striking unions to bring about an immediate settlement.
A bargaining session has been called for next Wednesday and could be held sooner. Guests was encouraged about the possibility of a settlement because recent union statements.
Gibbons, in a special pleading with the federal court that he was under no official service by the ICC would cost an estimated $150 million and that it not be fully resumed until after the grant.

It is not mighty bad, tragic, that our government has given the power to govern the world. The Governor and Creator of the Universes, Him to whom belongs the Heavenly Kingdom, governs us all.
Catharsis Sermon On The Mount in near the beginning of The New Testament In the Book of Matthew, chapters 5, 7 and 8. in Chapter 6-13 is recorded The Lords Prayer. The Book of Psalms is also included in public worship of Protestant and Eyewitness Christians.
After the Amen in The Lord's Prayer, the only direct command is to pray for their FATHER TRIESPASES, IN THE HEAVENLY FATHER WILL ALSO FORGIVE YOU. BUT IF YOU FORGIVE NOT MEN OR IF YOU FORGIVE NOT WOMEN, WILL YOUR FATHER FORGIVE YOUR TRIESPASES!*
The forgiveness of God is made conditional upon our forgiving those who have wronged us. We submit this is a dangerous prayer for the unconquered, and those unable to forgive we be found praying God to condemn us, and not forgive.
Myriads of Christians have, and doubtless every true Christian can testify how they have "cast the burden of an unforgiving spirit upon The Lord." and have been no less forgiven than those who have been "cast the burden of a Maker's me love everybody." A forgiving spirit, and the spirit of hatred of evil, are not enemies, but rather enemies of God. "We God: 'Ye love that Love the Lord,' hate Psalm - 97:10.

We can be held in humiliation and Repentance After creating Adam in His own likeness God said to him: "OBEY, OR DIE" CHRIST SAYS TO US IN THE HEART OF JESUS AND GOD. Our Lord PERISH! True Repentance and Confession start The Almighty to work in the behalf of His People!
