The impression is abroad that his

an unusual coincidence, Topper was
once pastor of the First Baptist
church of Paducah, as was Dir. Lori

Capt. J. d. Flasch Has just Com

SUCCEEDING IN HIS WORK

J. B. Flasch, business manager of
the Marine Engineers association,
has returned from a successful trip
over his territory from st. Louis to
Charleston, w. Va, and in the trip
secured 235 additions to the men,
bership of the national association.
In re instatements and new members.
Everywhere Captain Flasch finds the
conditions highly prosperous and idle
engineers only in Cincinnati. In Pa
ducah particularly, the demand for
engineers exceeds the supply and Mr..
Flasch, though a national officer of
the association, missed being pressed
into service on the Martha Hennen
this week by the merest chance. .
The marine laws require an en-
gineer not sick to be subject to any
call from boat and the Hennen
not being able to find an engineer.
ignored Mr.. Flaschs official position
and pressed him into service. AT the
last moment another engineer was
secured The president of the assoc
cation on a $500 salary could be
made to take a 81, 200 engineers
berth should an exigency arise. The
scarcity of engineers is attributed by
Mr. Flasch. like so many explanations
of labor scarcities, to the high
wages. paid in the cities. He thinks
the result will be that the boats will
have to make yearly contracts with
the engineers to retain them. This
would be a great advantage to the
association.
While on his last trip. Mr.. Flasch
found the Charleston association
little backward, so with the consent
OF its members the charter of that
association was merged with the as
ISOLATION at Point Pleasant. w. Va,
and the combined membership will
be so. Monday he will go to Nash
Vile, Chattanooga and other south
ern river points on association bust
ness. Next September Mr.. Flasch
has arranged an inspecting trip over
his entire territory with National
President w. F. Yates, of New York.
They will visit Paducah on that trip.
Paducah will be the scene next
October 9. 10. II, of convention of
the national association. Marine en-
gineers In the United States are in
