Low throws occasionally get away
from him, but he Is improving In that
respect, too. His batting continues
hard and timely.
Yesterday Delahanty made the real

TAKING CHANCES WITH LIVES.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: I have been much Interested IN the
efforts which you have been putting forth
since the terrible catastrophe In New York
City for better conditions for the workers
in the factories there. ! was particularly
impressed with the following sentence,
which closes the editorial Tho Fire In
dctments" which appears In to-day's issue,
viz: 1.-THE old comfortable habit Of taking
chances with the lives Of working people
must stop"
It seems TO me that this would be fine
slogan for the campaign that you arc help
ing to wage. ] think It would be an excel
lent idea TO publish this sentence, sur
rounded by black lines, in various parts
of your paper from day to day for few
weeks. I think the sentence contains the
kernel Of thought that is OF. first moment
In this matter. 1t will make people think
and ! hope may scare some.
Unquestionably It is the "old comfortable
habit TO take chances with the lives OF
working people" and New York City should
sec to It that this does STOP and without
doubt The New-York Tribune can WELD a
large influence. in bringing this about.
Let the good work for humanity go on.
