Editor Gazette! While rioting and
anarchy are rampant at Chicago, the
workmen in the Pullman shops in this
city have stood by the company and
proved themselves steady body of laborers
with too much good sense to lose their
heads ct the beck of labor agitators. Our
community has been free from lawlessness
and disorder; we have had no labor
troubles of magnitude and we have es-
capped the influences that have made
Chicago such a hot-bed of anarchy. The
Pullman Company owns Is or 30 acres of
land here, ample space for very con-
siderable enlargement of its plant, and
could doubtless obtain more room if
needed. Why would not this be an op.
FORTUNE time to secure the removal of
their main plant to Wilmington Would
it not be good idea to call meeting of
our entcrprisiGg citizens under the
auspices of the Industrial Improvement
Society to consider the feasibility of in
ducing the company to make this change?

A wilmingtonian Arrested in Chester.
Chester Times Monday


j, w. Gyles of Wilmington was ar
rested in this city on Saturday night by
Officer Ward. Gyies, it appears, who
was under bail for transaction in an
alleged stolen horse, tailed to appear at
court in West Chester when the case
came up. 1t seems that Il horse which,
it is said, was stolen, was sold to Gyles,
who sold it to another party. Some
time afterward when it was learned that
the horse was the one stolen, Gyles was
asked by the man to whom lie had sold
it, to refund the money paid for it. This
he refused to do, claiming he did not
know the horse was a stolen one when
he bought it. He was arrested and put
under $500 for court. Andy 0esterley
of this city was one of the bondsman
and put up 1926 in cash. Officer JEFF
ferries of West Chester came to this city
yesterday and Gyles was turned over to
him by Chief Basshaw.

PULLMAN WORKMAN.
James Lynch Denies Foreman Budgets
Statement That They Are Statistical

Editor Gazette d; Journal: Foreman Bulge
misinformed your representative concern
ing the feelings of the Pullman workmen
here. He is the same-as George Pullman.
He sends under-bosses to talk TO the men,
and as these under-bosses receive SIS
month it is to their interest to make
favorable report to Bulge. If the men
said that they were satisfied they lied, and
IL so they were afraid OF being discharged.
They had not the manhood to say that
they were dissatisfied.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it is not many years
since Mr.. Fry, the general superintendent,
told him (Budge) that it was a great mis-
take that he was appointed assistant super
intendent of the shops here under Super
intendent Waller.
Mr.. Editor, when young man serves
five years learning a trade, and Bulge cuts
pEices at piece work so that tine men cant
average 81 a day. appeal to your opinion
if You would be satisfied with the same
wages, were you competent mechanic.
hope you will publish this and let
Bulge dare contradict it, JAMES LYNCH.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
While Cunning for Frogs in the Marsh
Artifur Lewis Shoots Himself.

Arthur Lewis. 12-years-old lad living
with his mother at No. 2fe West street,
while ginning for hulifr6gs in the Will
mington marsh Monday shot himself
in the head with an air rifle. The bullet
entered just above the right eye and lodged
itself in the fleshy part of the head.
The lad is pupil at No. 4 school. The
other day neighbor brought some bull
frogs to the house, which were nicely
cooked and which young Lewis ate with a
relish. They did not satisfy his taste for
frogs, so on Monday. without the knowl-
edge of his mother, Arthur took his rifle
and went over in the marsh for game. He
saw several nice round frogs taking a sun
bath along the bank and fired at them,
but his aim was poor, and the frogs
escaped by taking somersaults into the
water.
Young Lewis then rested one end of his
gun upon the ground to wait for the frogs
to reappear. Instead of placing the stock
of the rifle on the ground Lewis stuck
the barrel of the gun in the ground and it
filled with mud. In trying to get the mud
out of the barrel the rifle was exploded
and the ball entered his head
Selling the gun he ran to a house along
the callseway and got them to send word
to the police station. The patrol wagon
took him to his home. Drs. Blocksom
and Spruance were summoned and probed
for the ball, but could not locate it. They
are of the opinion that the wound is not
dangerous and that the boy will recover.
