UNION MAN IS A HERO.
Engineer John Lynch Saves the Life
of a Drowning Child.

of a Drowning Child.
John Lynch, member Of the Licens-
edTugmen's Association, and engineer
Of the tug Tespest, heroically rescued
a child from a watery grave in the
Lake Avenue slip at / o'clock Sunday
afternoon. The little one was Israel, the
f1ve-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jas.
Azinsky, of 800 Lake Avenue South.
The child was playing on the dock near
the southern end of the Marshall Wells
Hardware company's building, and
tumbled into the water.
Nobody witnessed the accident, and
the child did not cry out for assistance,
or If it did, It's voice was drowned by
the noise along the wharf.
The Tempest was lying in the slip
farther south, and Engineer Lynch
was on the boat doing some work on the
engine. He glanced toward the Mar
shall Wells building and noticed a COM
motion in the water. There was moth
ing visible, but he at once came to the
conclusion that some one must have
fallen into the slip. He left the boat
and ran to the spot opposite, to investi-
gate. He arrived just in time to see
the child come to the surface, and then
sink from sight.
Mr.. Lynch threw off his coat and
plunged into the water after the drown
ing child. He got hold Of the little fel-
lows clothes, several, feet below the
surface. and swan to the dock A
| crowd had collected by this time, and
Lynch and his burden were assisted
from the water.
The child was unconscious. and It
was thought for time that 1t would
not recover. After about half an hour
of rolling and rubbing, consciousness
returned, and the little one was broush,
home and was seon sleeping soundly
as If nothing had happened.
Mr.. Lynch was congratulated for his
heroic act by the big crowd which was
attracted to the dock by the accident.

Let all dissention be forgot.
Let harmony reign supreme.
Let us forget We ever met
With afrifo and war hefWeen.

With strife and war between.
The white-winged dove Of peace has
descended upon the troublesome ele-
ments. Strife is at an end, and the
striking linemen and the Zenith Tele-
phone company have patched up their
differences. For four months the line
men and the telephone company have
been at war, and now it is satisfactorily
settled. .,.
There has been an unnecessary waste
Of time in this. Both sides were equal
ly at fault. Had there been a better
disposition exhibited the strike could
have been settled upon the same terms
long ago. There was an apparant lack
lack of diplomacy from the beginning.
Each side was jumping around with
chip on it's shoulder, and exhibiting a
vindictive spirit.
We trust that there has been a lesson
learned in this strike. We hope that II
they are ever unfortunate enough to get
into another that there will be more
charity and less repugnance. When
either side in any controversy struts
around in a well show YOU manner,
it only kindles a spirit of flight to the
bitter end" on the other side.
We have been engaged in number Of
industrial struggles, and they have
taught us this lesson: that If peace Is
desired an absolute spirit of fairness
must be shown not only In the ques-
tions involved, but in the dispositions
Of those engaged in the controversy
as we'll. The average man, be he en-
ployer or employe, desires peace, but X
abuse enters into an industrial contro-
versy it is as natural for man to re-
sist it as it is for him to defend himself
when ssaulted by another.
We are elated over the settlement of
the telephone strike even at this late
day, not so much because it was a
compromise entirely favorable to the
men, but because of the good feeling
that has been restored. When the un-
ion held meeting Thursday evening
the manager of the telephone company
sent a box Of cigars to the hall. On a
card inside was this inscription: I'm
Eianion there ats strength - boys lets
smoke the pipe st peace. ''s 11t 'is the lit-
tie, simple good things that makes
us all kin. and this is one of them.
Mr.. Kritzer, of the Zenith Telephone
company did his part to create better
feeling between the company and his
men, and every member of the union
was man enough to entertain the same
| reciprocal spirit. A week from now
we will all have forgotten that strike
ever existed.

day at $3.50. The terms of settlement
give the linemen nine hour day at
$2.75. In other words they secured q
| reduction of one hour day and an
increase Of twenty-five cents in wages
The terms are accepted by both sides
with entire satisfaction.

The new company adds nothing to the

fully cover the actual assets, aside from

the preferred for about one hundred. the

1t is fair to say that Mr.. Schwab, the
president Of the trust, testified before
the Industrial Commission that in his
opinion, the iron and coal lands owned
or controlled, were, regardless Of first
cost, worth more than the amount re.
presented by the entire capital of the
trust. He said his company owned all

600 an acre, and four -fifths (50O, 900, 900
tons) of all the iron ore in sight in the
"Northwest." Only few dollars q ton
would make the value Of these ores
exceed the total capitalization. There
fore, he reasoned, as mines could not
be duplicated. his company could not
put too high a value upon its mining
assets. ~ .. ~%%--~.

It seems to me I'd like to go Where bells don't ring nor whistles blow Nor clocks don't strike nor gongs don't sound And I'd have stiffness all around. Not really stiffness but just the trees Low whisperings or the hum of bees Or brooks faint babbling over stones In strangely, softly tangled tones. Or maybe cricket or katydid Or the songs of birds in the hedges hid Or just some such sweet sounds as these To fill a tired heart with ease. If weren't for sight and sound and smell.

steinitz and Chess.

Wilhelm Steinitz, the famous chess master, acquired his first knowledge of the game in a peculiar manner. As a boy he attended a Jewish school at Prague, and as a reward for his clever ness the masters permitted him to watch the chief rabbi and his assessor play chess. Only once month was the game played, but it lasted several days, and young Steinitz astonshed the players by remembering the position of each piece. Naturally he was soon far ahead of his venerable instructors.
