WABASH HAS NEW FRIENDS.
Structural Iron Workers Of Pittsburg
will not support Opposing Council.


men,.
PITTsBURG, Jan. 8.-The Wabash
railroad will In all likelihood get into
this city in the near future. That
the way will be opened is due to the
action of Local No. 3, international
Association OF Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers, who at their regular
meeting passed the annexed resolu-
resolutions:
Whereas, The Pittsburg, Carnegie
& Western Railroad (Wabash) Is ask
ing the Pittsburg Councils for fran
chise to enter the city with its lines,
and
Whereas, Its ordinance has been
for some reason postponed for more
than year, Therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That councils be request
ed to pass such reasonable ordinances
as will permit the Wabash road to en-
ter Pittsburg and compete with the
other railroads now existing.
Resolved, That we will oppose any man
for office if the platform upon which he
stands does not favor the entrance OF
the Wabash or any other railroad seek
ing entrance into Pittsburg.
The organization which passed the
resolutions has $4,000 members In
Pittsburg, and the claim is made by
them that councils by their dilatory
methods may ''rob thousand struc-
tural workers out OF four years work, y
as it is expected that number OF men
will be needed for the period named to
complete the work the Wabash has al
ready planned. Other unions are ex-
pected to take up the matter and it
looks as If councils will be forced to
act favorably.

Doing What We Can Do.

Doing what we have the pow
er TO do is our highest privilege
and duty. We often feel that,
il We had more money, or more
influence, or more power, we
conld do something worth doing
but, as it is, our possibilities
are x3adly limited, and we can
h0ye.ho hope of greatly honor
lug God, or helping our fellows.
D 81 the one woman in the world
whose name stands highest
above her fellows for what she
did in her day and generation
waa not a woman of great wealth
or oi' special power. OF her it is
said simply, "She hath done
/" narshe could" She may have
thought that her sphere and
abilities were limited, but God
blessed her simple doing with
his blessing and with her ever
ing fame. All that God
would have us do is to do what
we can. That much we ought
to DO ready to do gladly.
