DovER's STEP FORWARD.

IN OVER citizens at a public meeting, de-
~ cided to ask the Legislature for permis-
sion to borrow 100000 for streetfmprovements.
The money is to be secured through bonds The
meeting was under the auspices of the Board
of Trade and sound advice on street matters was
given to the Dover people by Street Commis-
sioner Frank w. Pierson, of this city, Colonel
George w. Sparks, one of our Street and Sewer
Directors and Colonel Theodore Townsend.
The meeting appointed a committee to urge
the Legislature to pass the bill permitting the
loan.
The step is in the right direction. Dover
streets should by all means be improved Good
streets will add to the beauty OF the capital, and
all her citizens should rejoice that some action
has been finally taken which will give Dover the
streets that she ought to have.

WORK AT THE Y. M. c. A.

W ITH so excellent body of directors the
w Young Mems Christian Association
should prosper and it is gratifying to note that
the work of the organization is in encour-
aging condition. The Young Mems Christian
Association has field of wide usefulness in this
city, but its development to its proper sphere
will be necessarily slow 1t seems that the edu-
cational department is doing we'll This is really
one of the important branches of association
work and one of the most useful.
Many young man who neglected his earlier
opportunities for an education or who did not
have such opportunities be greatly bene-
fitted by a course of study under the direction
of the association. According to the report Of
the chairman of the House Committee there
have been many thousands of visitors at the
Association Building which speaks well for the
popularity of that institution.

to state their position in the matter. Does the
Central Labor Union with this measure express
the sentiments of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, the Firemen the Trainmen and
the Conductors, not3 Do they wish the law
makers to interfere with this Relief Association,
or not? These questions could be answered at a
legislative hearing.
We are not familiar with the inside workings
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Relief Association,
but we think the general plan of all such or
ganizations is splendid. We think every man
should belong to them if possible.
The other bill is that providing for the pay
ment of the wages of employees weekly. Such
bill is not likely to be passed for two reasons;
First, because the company make plausi-
bic argument that it would entail great amount
of labor and expense to pay weekly; secondly
because, according to our observations the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has such big
pull in Delaware politics that it would be diff
cult to get through the Legislature even very
meritorious measure that was not approved by
the company. OF course, it would be desirable
to have the men paid weekly, if it could be
done
However, we trust the Legislature will have
the hearing. If the Central Body gets its vocal
batteries trained on the railroad attorneys and
the attorneys fire back, there will be something
entertaining, at least

LABOR HEARING.

HE House at Dover, has fixed time for
\ public hearing on several measures pro-
posed by the Central Labor Union, of This CITY,
One of the measures strikes us as particularly
important. The Central Labor Union, as we un-
derstand the matter, with bill to abolish com
pusory insurance" assais the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad Relief and desires by law TO break
up an alleged practice of forcing men to Join this
association if they wish to remain in the en-
ploy of the company
We say alleged practices secause we have
not learned to our own satisfaction that there
is any compusion about it. We-have the state
ment of representatives Of the Central Labor
Union that men have been refused employment
unless they Joined the association. On the other
hand we have assurances from number Of en-
ployes OF the company that there is nothing CO.
.pulsory about the Relief Association; that men
have been given employment in which no relief
association requirement was made
We understand that only part of the
railway employees are affiliated with the Central
Labor Union, of this city. They have their own
organizations and it seems to us they shonld
have their representatives at this public hearing
