TO INSPECT GAS WORKS.
Commissioner Shedd 10 Personally Deter
mine Responsibility In Pollution Controversy

Relative TO the present agitation over
the pollution OF the waters of Providence
river and the upper bay, J. Herbert Shedd.
chairman OF the state commission on
harbors and rivers. has been In COM
muncation with the management at the
Providence Gas company's works.
For some time public sentiment has
seemed 10 lay the cause OF the trouble
at the door OF the gas works, so 10
speak, and Commissioner Shedd is deter
mined to probe the matter thoroughly
and to fix the blame where It belongs.
The gas company has lately made a
strong assertion TO the effect that II is
free from responsibility for the presence
on the water of the river OF the damag-
ing patches OF oleaginous refuse matter.
The assertions have been all the COM
pany offered and Chairman Shedd has
now notified the company of his inten-
tion TO presently make a thorough inspec-
tion OF the works to determine person
ally the value Of the aforementioned as
sertions
Correspondence with superintendent
Ellis OF the Eddy street works has re-
suited favoraby for the progress OF Mr.
Shedd's plan and next Monday the tour
OF the gas companys plant will be made.
At that time IL is hoped by the COM
missioners, the question OF the gas COM
pany's share in the present difficulty will
be definitely settled. Some people have
been heard TO remark about the futility
OF going hunting with a brass band. how
ever.

The failure to arbitrate the packing
strike in Chicago was due to the de-
sire on the part of the strikers to be
'all hog or none." Concessions we're
made by the packers in nearly all de
mands made by the strikers until it
came to the point of reinstating all
the men who were on a strike. On
this they split and the strike contin-
ues in full force, with its hardships to
thousands not directly connected with
the packing houses. This is a world
of give and take, No man or body of
men can take a certain set course al
lowing OF no deviatiation, without
running amuck. The packers were
willing to reinstate all men they could
USE, but reserved the right to keep all
competent non-union men which they
had employed as a result of the strike
and to put all their former employees
to work as rapidly as the situations
demanded, giving them preference
over all others. This was certainly
fair enough, but some mule cared
leaders were not satisfied. Ii must
be all or none. This is the sort of
thing that brings the unions into
disrepute. That the principles of I'M
ionism are all right is conceded by
all fair minded men, but until such a
time as they shall elect leaders who
are conservative business men, un-
Outstanding when to yield a point and
