BLAME WEATHER MAN.
D. U. r. Officials Not Prepared For
Unexpected Storm.

Officials OF the ID. u. r. admit that
the storm of last night was a surprise
to them. They had expected, from
the weather reports, that there would
be snow. But instead there came sleet
at IL o'clock, and at 3 a. m. this
changed to a summary rain, only to
have the tickle within of the weather
shift to freezing cold. within half
hour.
AS the water filled the grooves OF
the rails and stuck there, the night
cars were almost stalled. They trav-
eled slowly and so the car crews COM
ing to work In the morning, who de-
pend largely on the night cars to take
them TO their barns, we're very late
indeed. That meant that there were
not enough cars TO start the day.
And so the distracted barn bosses
raved while the earlY-rising citizens
hiked and liked down the frozen
streets.
On all the suburban lines the condi-
tons were as bad as In the city. IL
not worse.

FORGETS TO PAY TAXES.
Town Lawyer SO Busy Personal Mat

II has been very busy time for
Corporation Counsel Hally since Dec

and dozens and dozens OF other legal
things to ponder upon and consider;
he has had hundreds OF callers and
generally has been working and hust
ling most of the time Therefore II
is no wonder that when the learned
town lawyer happened to think of the
trifiing matter Of state and county
taxes Monday. he found that he had
overlooked paying them entirely. Con
sequently, the city's legal adviser will
pay his extra four per cent just like
any other forgetful citizen. Hallys
first New Year resolution this week
was to pay his taxes on Dec. 1. next

GREEN CHICKENS
IL They Get Into Trouble Their
Feathers Will Identify Them.
BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 81

All the wisdom wasn't Solomon's.
Victor Lindahl has some of 1t, and
he wants to be a good neighbor
besides. He keeps chickens, and
Mrs. Payne, next door, keeps a
garden-yes, In winter; this is
California, you know. Well, the
Lindahl chickens got into. the
Payne garden about as often as
they felt like 1t, and to keep the
peace Lindahl clipped their
wings. Still Mrs. Payne had to
shoe chickens away from her let
tuce, but Lindahl claimed an alibi
for his poultry on account of the
Clipped wings. Now Lindahl has
painted each of his chickens a
vivid green. With this action
went polite note to Mrs. Payne
that she could decapitate any
green chickens she found in her
garden from that time on. Incl.
Identally. somebody else's chickens
which haven't had their wings
lclipped and aren't painted greer
are going to be shown up as the
real offenders.

ORGANIZED LABOR AND COST
OF LIVING I
By Peter Power.

BY Peter Power.
The efforts of officers and
members of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers in various
parts of the country to place the
blame for the high prices of food
products upon the unions will
prove unavailing, and probably
react upon those who make the
charges if even only a casual ex-
animation of the facts is resort
ed to.
Statements have been made up
on the floors of congress and
state legislatures, as well as in
newspaper editorials, that the in
creased cost of necessaries ranged
from 40 to 100-pe cent during
the past decade. Yet government
al Investigations and collabora-
ton of statistics by trade unions
show that the wage increase has
been less than 20 per cent during
that period. In the last two
years, when the pinch has been
the most severe, there has been no
perceptible advance in wages, but
rather decline in the poorest or
ganized trades.
Paradoxical though it may
seem, the sharpest price boosting
has been in lines of industry in
which there are no unions, or very
weak organizations at best, and
no material price advance in the
organized trades. Farm products,
cotton, lumber, oil, sugar, tobac-
co, flour, meat, etc., ARE not in
fluenced in the slightest degree by
arbitrary wage advances.
The meat combine crushed the
unions several years ago and
forced wages down until they
are at the bare living line this
very day. The sugar trust per-
mits of no organization in that
industry, neither does Standard
Oil. The steel trust has been
smashing unions, pounding down
wages, increasing working hours
and speeding MP machinery to
force increased production for
several years. The tobacco trust
Operates mainly with women and
children, as do the textile COM
bines, and wages are at the beg
gar level. Nearly all the clothing
workers are constantly mehaced
by sweatshop conditions, and II
they gain a slight advance in busy
seasons they again drop back tx
the old wage in dull seasons.

The base ball spike talk died

But the schemes didn't ring
right, apparently, for they were

And now who do you think

gestion to eliminate the danger?
No one but our old friend who

Tyrus Cobb. Yes, folks, the
Georgia Peach is up in front,

Uncle Ban B. to stop, look and

Naturally, as Ty was the lad
die-buck they tried to put the
Cherokee sign on by abolishing
spikes. it is not surprising for him
to come to the front as an acct
dent policy peddler.
Cobb's idea is to give the UNI
pires authority to punish players
for reckless base running or will
full injury to infielders. In his
letter to the big chief of his own
particular league, Tyrus says that
if players knew they would be
fined or glued to the bench for a
few days, they would not be SO
rash with the steel, and accidents
would be less frequent.
At the same time, Cobb will be
one of the runners to profit most
by his scheme, for his method of
sliding, if spectacular and effec-
tive, is not nearly so dangerous
as that of one less skillful.
