Special Correspondence Of The Star.
WINCHESTER, Va. February 10. 1918.
Several Of the most prominent and best
informed financiers and capitalists of
Winchester this afternoon gave credence
to reports which have been current dur
ing the week to the effect that some
definite action is to be take in the i'm
mediate future looking to the construc-
ton of an electric railway line from Win
chester through Berryville to Bluemont,
Loudoun county, where it Is proposed to
make a physical connection with the re-
Gently electrified line running from that
place to Washington Similar reports
have been circulated from time to time
for a number Of years, but it was not
until today that some Of the men inter-
ested in the plan gave it their indorse-
ment.
One of the officers OF the Winchester
and Washington City Railway Company,
which has thus far confined its business
to supplying electricity for municipal.
commercial and household. purposes in
this section, stated this afternoon that
the company's officers have been In cor
respondence for some time past in refer
ence to the proposed electric railway,
and it was also learned that detailed
survey has already BEEN made eastward
from Bluemont to Beryville, distance
Of about ten miles, and there remains an
additional ten miles to be surveyed from
Berryville to Winchester. 1t is the In
tention to build branch lines radiating
from the Winchester Bluemont trunk line
to Boyce. Wildwood. Charles Town and
possibly to Martinsburg, w. Va, passing
through a. large number Of thriving viii
lagos. The people owning property along
the proposed routes are encouraging the
project. and many have indicated their
willingness to give rights of way through
their lands.

bosses work for the union and not for
themselves. II you are not willing to
do your best to see that they do this,
and to see that your fellow members
also do their best to secure the same
end. then in the name Of God, don t
join labor union.
Unfortunately, complete reports Of
the Indianapolis trial were not pub
lished throughout the country. 1t Ia
my hope that the circulation Of my
own story will rectify this and place
before labor in every city and vii
.lage OF the United States the real
facts concerning this plot.
l have already expressed my SEN
timents regarding the work that was
done. 1t was crime, and not war,
and 1t was useless and could have
served no good purpose, had every
charge We set done the work hoped
for, and had we been left unmolested
to carry out our work unto the end
OF time. Labor In the mass must
realize this; must purge itself Of lead
ers whose propaganda Is OF violence,
and secure the services of men for
leaders who will secure their ends
by legislation and diplomacy and not
by crime and violence.
In the skeleton on which Ia hung
the union which he supports are the
bones Of living ideas, and 1t Is my
belief that as the individual laborer,
be he skilled or unskilled, continues
to think over the results to labor Of
the dynamite plot Of which l was a
part, he will realize that violence not
only Is unpatriotic, but that 1t Ia a
serious obstacle to. his enjoyment Of
his rights under the constitution OF
which he is 80 proud.
Had J. J. Mcnamara, Ryan, the
San Francisco crowd, Young. Webb
and the others used real foresight
coupled with real devotion to the
cause of labor, l could never have
been plunged into the whirlpool Of
violence which was at this time en-
tering.

FREE CORN AND FREE
BOOKS WILL ERASE MOB

Free corn in old Rome bribed a
mob and kept 1t passive. By free
books and what goes with them in
modern America we mean to erase
the mob from existence. There lies
the cardinal difference between a
civilization which persisted and civ
ilizatton which will endure. The
Wisconsin Free Library Commission,
a state board with headquarters at
the capitol at Madison, is making
every effort to reach every part of
the state with good books, thus pro-
noting more intelligent and better
type of citizenship. 1t will welcome
every opportunity to place books in
any hamlet, townsor village that will
ask for them and that will use them
wisely.
