TRIAL sv couRrs.MARrIAL.
Punishment Melted Out Seldom Salts
factory to superiors.

There Is 30 element Of luck In
court-martial cases." remarked a naval
officer to a Washington Star man,
"just as there Is In criminal cases be-
fore the civil courts. In one case the
punishment depends a good deal on
the nature of the cabinet officer In
charge and In the other on the char
acter of the trial judge.
The point of these remarks lies
in the application. A short time ago,
while Assistant Secretary Newberry
was acting as secretary Of the navy,
he was called upon to pass on the
cases of two young officers convicted
by court-martial of violating the naval
regulations. In both cases he cen.
sured the court for the leniency OF
the punishment inflicted Since. then
Secretary Bonaparte has acted on two
court-martial cases and in each case
he reduced the sentence imposed by
the court. OF course, there was
difference In the cases, but the princi'
pie was the same. Neither official
sustained the court-martial. One
thought the sentences inadequate and
the other official thought the SEN
tences excessive. So severe was Mr..
Newberry in his reprimand to one
court.martial that high naval Of
ficer said that, as between sitting on
a court-martial and being tried by It,
he thought he should prefer to risk
the punishment meted out to the ac'
cused"

AMUSING INCIDENT.
What Happened to a Man Who In
sisted on Scabbing.

Even the street car men expert
ence some amusing incidents in
their strikes. Here is a story told
OF the st. Louis strike: .Durinc
the st. Louis street car strike there
was one union motorman who in
sisted on working. He was threat
ened and eXpostulated with by his
comrades but he turned deaf ear
alike to entreaties and thveats.
I've got right to work if I want
to, and tn" VIII de town can't bluff
me-" was tn. way he put it. His
wife thought differently. She got
barrel stave and went to the end
of the line and met him on his run.
Don't you work any more, Jim"
she commanded. "Come right
down from that car this minute, -
Jim hesitated, and his wife-she
was an athletic woman-dragged
him from the platform and chas-
tised him with the barrel stave.
He followed her home meekly, and
kept away from the car barns until
after the strike was settled. The
woman was elected an honorary
member Of the union.

Typotheta, which has been shat
tered in its bout with the Interla-

proposed organization will not
countenance the union busting tao
tics that have proved SO costly to
both the employer and employee
during the last year. The move
ment is being started by men who
realize that the printers union is
here to stay, and as it cannot be
destroyed it may as well be reck-
oned with as power among men
In this craft Employers friendly
to the typographical union are

loss to the bosses, the union busters
