CAUGHT IN AN AWKWARD PREDICA-

Theodore Rogers, the son of Mrs Car
RE Rogers of Sherman, was the victim
of trying experience, last week We'd
nesday night. On returning from
college he was met at the sta zion by
his man and set out for home. When
near the point Of the mountain, they
found the water so high from the ice
flood they did not dare to ford it and
went back to try the Town bridge and
west side. Crossing the bridge they
drove into the water up to the wagon
body. They had only gone a short
distance when they encountered an
enormous cake of ice, which they could
not pass. They managed to turn
around, although it was dark, and
once more started for Sherman by the
east side of the Housatonic. Again
they urged their horses into the icy
water, and made the passage safely.

A few citizens had the nerve to stand
on the sidewalk and lawn and criticize
the firemen, who were doing every
thing possible. One gentleman shut
up short when a fireman Shot back at
him: 'Say, Mr. -, if you think
you can do any better walk right up
here and take hold of the nozzle. The
fire laddies will give you a chance"
Nothing further was heard from that
county.
Just how the fire, originated no one
knows. Some think it may have start
ed from electric wires. One prominent
citizen thought it might have resulted
from the chimney burning out, while
others suggested that over-heated
steam pipes caused the trouble, as they
started the fire of a week ago in the
same building, which was extinguished
without great damage:
The front part of the building,
saved from burning, was originally the
fine old Treadwell mansion. Later it
was built over into hotel by a stock
company, who expended, so D. E.
Soule informed us, something like
$4,000 in purchasing, rebuilding and
| furnishing. About seven or eight years
ago it was bought by Mrs Black and
| four years ago large additions were
built on by Contractor Sunderland of
Danbury. 1t was put in the most
modern state of repair, and to have it
despoiled by fire seems a great pity.
On the top of the main building was a
fine assembly hall, which was Slightly
damaged by fire. Quite considerable
of the furniture was removed from
the main part during the fire and car
ried to the residence of J. P. Treadwell,

W. g. BARTON's HANDSOME NEW
For a week W. G.. Barton has been
doing business in his handsome new
store in the Bennitt block and has
been greatly pleased with his Christ
mas trade, which in volume he thinks
has never been larger. "We simply
could not have done more business if
it had come our way, with our present
increased facilities, Notwithstanding
the fact we had additional sales
people," said Mr. Barton to a BEE re-
porter. The new store is 46x70, with
metal ceiling decorated in light colors.
The substantial counters and hand
some silent statesmen cases were fur
nished by D. J. S. Jones of Bridgeport.
The, large and spacious display win
dows are 14x7. The glass in the east
window measures 1853 inches and is
said to be the largest single piece of
plate glass in any window in the state
of Connecticut. The cashiers desk is
located in the central part of the store,
the Acme cash carrier system having
been introduced. Miss @. E. FOOte pre-

A STRIKE

What the Union Pacific needs, and
needs badly, is a strike department"
-or to be more technical-a Labor
Bureau"
This Is not a new idea with the ed
itor of the Leader. Years ago we sug.
gested it to III Of the railroad super
intendents of the Union Pacific.
The road has a law department, a
land department, officials who look af-
ter the operation of the lines. men who
supervise freight traffic. and a corps
who attend to the passenger traffic.
And the heads of these last two are
kept quite busy comforting with of.
ficials of other roads. 1t has a civil en-
gineer division and numerous other de-
partments which attend to the pur-
chasing and building of locomotives,
cars, bridges. etc, but the most i'm
portant factor of the railroad bust
ness, namely the skilled labor element
with all it's varied functions, compli-
cations and difficulties is under no spe-
cial supervision.
If there is any place in the railroad
service that calls for expert knowledge
it is in keeping the various branches
of labor constantly and advantageous
ly employed. The labor troubles that
arise and vex the general manager
of great railroad combinations like
the Union Pacific are enough to drive
a thoughtful man to his premature
grave. We will always believe that S.
H. H. Clark and Thomas Potter gen.
eral managers of the Union Pacific.
passed away before their time largely
on account of friction with the en-
plOyes. A man can stand almost any
thing better than contention. 1t is the
use up a mans nervous system and
eventually the man himself.
There should be a special bureau,
ably and Systematically organized,
with experts in all of the matters that
pertain to organized labor. These
men should individually and collec-
lively know or have in their posses
sion, all the information procurable OIL
the subject they deal with. They
should have at hand all the records
and decisions on labor controversies,
and be familiar with the various con
situations and by laws of all trade
unions. Also the scale of wages of
the different classes of workmen. so
that they may be able to discuss such
matters whenever occasion demands.
Only a short time ago the wholesale
merchants of Chicago decided to EN-
ploy a labor union expert. one who had
been a leader in strikes and contro-
versies, as a matter of protection to
their business. Since they did so they
find their business moves along very
smoothly, but before they had trouble
from strikes in manufactures, on the
railroads, with stevedores, draymen
and clerks. If their business was not
interrupted in one way it was in an
other. The consequences of the strike
are far reaching. The business men
of Cheyenne now have a forcible illus
tration of this fact.
President Crocker of the Southern
Pacific, in selecting a man to take
charge of a very important coal pro
perry, the operation of which was alb
