Charles S. MeIlen Delivers a
Prophetic Address
Says Railway Presidents and Other EN-
ployers Should Rub Frost Off Their
Office Door Handles

At a recent banquet given in Boston
by employees of the Boston & Maine
railroad, Charles s. Mellen, former
president of the New York, New Ha-
ven e Hartford and Boston & Maine
railroads. who was the guest of honor.
made an extemporaneous address,
which may be regarded as a prophecy
Of industrial events. There we're pres
ent $50 representatives of the various
trades that are included in a great
railway system. The following excerpts
are taken from Mr.. Mellen's address
as published in one of the Boston
daily papers:
Il think this is a most unique and
unusual thing for the president of a
railroad. an iceberg with frost on his
office doorknob. to receive from those
who are supposed to be hostile to all
control, to all representatives of cap

essarily the employees but from the
labor organizations themselves repre-
sented here by their chairmen.

Is only one thing that initiates against

AGAINST UNIVERSAL LABEL,

The convention of the Union Label
Trades department at Seattle. Wash,
was the most successful ever held.
The most important matter before the
convention was report of a special
committee to which had been referred
the entire question of the adoption OF
a universal union label. The commit
tee made an exhaustive investigation
and reported against the adoption OF
the universal label. The report OF
this special committee was unani-
mously endorsed by the union label
trades convention. All of the old ofti'
cials we're reelected for the ensuing
term.

President Wilson has stated the action
OF the Federal grand jury at Pueblo in
which indictments were returned
against twenty-four union officials

the government and that the jury
acted upon its own initiation. This is
accepted to mean that Attorney Gen

HAWAII HOCH
COMMENTS ON

The following editorial appeared in
the Hawaii Hochi, issue of Thursday
in connection with the recent activity
among the denizens of Lwilei:
ITO make this city as pure as pos
sible in neral sense is greatly W be
desired and plan must be worked
out to reach as far as possible in this
direction as We would like to see
every stigma of shame removed from
the Paradise of the Pacific and would
like to see this commercial vice swept
away, as a protection of the morals
of society in general.
while this is the end we sincere,
ly wish for, minute care is required
in handling the question. Should this
fact escape from the minds of those
in charge of the work their good in
tention and endeavor will be as hab-
bling water and the results will be
worse than present or previous con-
ditions. Judging the matter from this
standpoint. while We appreciate the
action Of the immigration officials, We
have fear of the inevitable result
Each effect has its origin and
ccuse. whether the come he good or
bad We admit that the prevalence
Of concentrated vice owes its orig
in to the moral depravity and lack of
conscience of few and that society
in general must assume the blame
and responsibility. Were society

peaceful little valley around the
Kalihiuka sehoolhouse was suddenly
startled by Mascoto's murder Of his
wife, the schoolteacher After months

own life but terribly mutilated by the
gunshot in his face, came forth to
face the law, and he has been sent
to prison for not less than 20 years.
His three children, say other rela-

shot their mother one sunny morning
in the schoolyard. They are now be-
