WANTS TO SEE FAIR PLAY.

| Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In last Mondays Scranton Times appeared
letter against the pension system" Of .he
| Delaware, Lackawana and Western railroad
| signed IAN Employee" in which the writer says:
1.-The brotlerhoods Oh the Lackawanna have posi-
| tive evidence that TrucsClae and his friends for
mulatcd all their plans OF procedure on the Lack
awal!na before they left the Rock Island railroad
| and part Of that plan was to get rid of the old
employees, and for three years they have rcsOrted
| to every plan, hook and crook, to get rid of
them"
| Now, | am a member of both the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers and the Brotherhood of
locomotive Firemen, belonging To the last named
| brotherhood since 1853, and have been in the
employ Of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
as fireman and engineer for the past nineteen
years or more, and the letter in the Times is the
first lave ever heard that the brotherhoots had
any such evidence, and don't believe that they
ever had any such evidence. | don't believe in
misrustng the motives of others and putting it
in print before we know whether it is true or
not, for some who read it will think it true, and
they will tell the other fellow and he the next
ard so ON until bad feelings are stirred up.
This writer in the Times says, And now, af.
ter practically all of the old men have been
driven out of the service" etc. 1t is not true
that practically all the old men have been driven
out OF the service. / could name engineers by
still running engines on the Lackawanna This
same writer says, 'lf the Times is friend OF
labor she will investigate this matter" ! am
tired OF hearing of this ''iriend of capital and
friend Of labor" business The paper, or the
man, that is the friend OF one should be the
friend Of the other, and capital and labor should
br friends, and they can't afford to he other
wise, and believe the time is fast approaching
when they will be and to my mind such acts MS
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western pension
system will so long way toward fastening that
time.
II you should fit TO give this letter space
in The Tribune (Which don't think it worthy of
some who read it may say that it was written
for effect in order to give me chance to pat
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western officials
ON the back and ''stand in" To all such I
would say that it not written for any such pur
pose at all, | never have. dom now, and never
expect TO ''sland in'' any better than any other
man who does his duty. But do like to see fair
play, and when an employer is trying to help
lis employees don't like to see the employees spit
in his face. Yours truly,

Good Story About Forrest.

General n, b, Forrest and the few troopers he
had with him were once pursued by the fcderals
and the general was galloping along at top speed.
fiery southern dame happened to be standing
by the roadside, and when she saw the flying
confederate officer her indignation boiled over.
Shaking her fist in scom. she screamed
"Why don't you turn and fight, you COW.
ardly rascal? Ii old Forrest were here he'd make
you 1ght"
Fortunately the generals horse soon carried
him out of range.
Forests biography relates that once at din.
ner party, where le had been invited as the guest
OF honor there was loQuaeious widow, with
hair OF raven black, who rudely interrupted the
conversation by asking General Forrest why il
was that his beard was still black, while his hair
Was turning gray.
With great politeness Forrest turned to her.

Sress is so stubborn in it's refusal to
accept the presidents recommendation
of generous reciprocity with Cuba. 1t
does this by means of the following
parable:
"ln the begging world the spectacle is
often presented of a strong looking
woman with II baby in her arms APP
pealing for aims to the passing crowd.
Usually the child is not hers but has
been borrowed for professional pur-
poses. The womans appearance is
against the hope of Il generous collec-
tion. Her vigor prevents her from
touching hearts. And there is where
the baby comes in. A sly pinch will
set it crying, and those who would
never have contributed to the woman's
support find themselves unable to re-
sist the wall of the little stranger. The
combination is most effective, and the
baby gathers in the shekels.

trust, strong, vigorous and able to
make its own way unassisted, is resist

business is secure. 1t is selling at it's

figures lower than it's competitors and

not an easy one. When it became

compiled, to show how many more than
100 great Americans there are in this
