Mr.. Cawein's descriptive power is
as we'll known as his smoothness of
dictiOn n his metrical accuracy.
After noticing carefully the striking
clearness of a few Of his images and
the aptness Of a few of his epithets.
and comparing these images and cpl
thets with some from the pens OF
younger writer's. how can we doubt
his tremendous influence on our later
descriptive poetry, whether the scene
depicted be a bit Of woodland or j.
New York street? In this connection
note Mr. CaWein's sonnet. "Aban-
| doned":
The hornets build in plaster-dropping
rooms
And on it's messy porch the lizard lies:
Around it's chimneys slow the swallow
flies,
And on it's roof the locusts snow their
blooms.
Like some sad thought that broods
here. old perfumes
Haunt its dim stairs; the cautious
zephyr tries
Each gusty door. like some dead hand,
then signs
With ghostly lips among the attic
glOOms.
Fits in the willows where the rifle
At each faint fall to hesitate to leap
F1uttering the silence with a little
stir.
Here Summer seems a placid face
asleep,
And the near world a Pigment of he,

BOX CAR
ROBBERS
ACTIVE

Two box car thieves were caught in
a trap at Durham on the Lake Shore
yesterday afternoon and arrested later
an the day by Indiana Harbor officers.
They gave their names as John St
James Kelly of Denver and Patrick
Welsh of Norwood. Boston. Mass.
Lake Shore detectives spied the two
men when the train stopped for water
at Durham They had broken into one
care and were passing from IL to an
other ear which they broke into and
entered. The detectives waited until
the men were occupied inside and then
with their little hammers and a few
nails they nailed the door Of the box
car shut and the thieves were sse-
curely captured to all intents and pur-
poses. as though locked in the tower
of London.
After telling the men inside to cheer
up. the worst was yet to come, one OF
the detectives hied him to the nearest
TELEPHONY. and called up the Indiana
Harbor Lake Shore freight house, noti-
flying the force there of the pleasant
surprise they had In store for them.
The freight house telephoned the Indf-
ana Harbor police, telling Sergeant
Hughes that the train on which the
thieves were prisoners was due at 4:45

to make the arrests Sergeant Hughes

The door was. pried open and the
prisoners placed under arrest. They
made no resistance and when searched.
nothing was found on them of. any
value. box MERCHANDISE had been
pried open, and that was the extent Of
the evidence against them.
Kelly, when asked what line he US

whether the thieves get away with any
goods or not now constitutes felony
under a recent bill passed by the legis-
lature. and is punishable by imprison-
ment in thes state penitentiary. the
outlook for Kelly and Welsh is far
from encouraging. The men are re-
spectacle looking fellows. and by their
appearance would seem to be new at
their rade.

UNGRATEFUL CHAPS.

Eignatz Duybill and Harry Jusik,
Washington street, Gary, were taken
into custody by Officer Fred Stelow of
the Hammond police this morning on "a
charge of larceny. The two men were
captured in a company house at East
Hammond where they were hiding.
Duybill and Jusik were wanted at
Gary for robibng their boarding house
keeper of some shoes land clothing.
The boarding house keeper had be-
friended the two men and gave them
a place to stay. Several days ago they
robbed the boarding house and came
to Hammond. The pair received em-
ployment on the bridge construction
south of Hammond and had the stolen
goods on them this morning when they

SPECIAL
MEETING
OF COUNCIL

At special meeting of the city
council held at the East Chicago city
hall. appropriation ordinances were
passed as follows: Street and alley la
Dor, $4,000. Sewer department, $1,000.
Electrict lights. $1,000. Police depart
ment $4,000. These should have been
attended to at the last regular meet
Ing Monday. night. but the failure OF
a quorum prevented. SO it was neces-
sary for Mayor Schlfeker to call spe-
cial meeting of the council.
Mrs B. D. L. Glazebrook Of Indiana
Harbor, was elected to fill the vacancy
on the library board, created by the
resignation Of Mrs. Fred Stephens. and
Walter Spencer was named 20 succeed
d. D. Dixon on thu school board Mr..
Dixon also resigned. At his home this
morning no reason was given for the
resignation. Mrs. Stephens however
said her resignation was on account OF
other duties, which made it almost i'm
possible to attend the board meetings
and she felt that she could not do the
library board work justice, in conse-
quence. She regretted the necessity OF
resigning and will be missed on the
board. Mr.. Dixon has been a member
of the school board for quite a number
of years but is away a great deal. and
while this was not the reason assigned.
for his resignation, undoubtedly had
something to do with 1t.

AN APPEAL BY
THE POSTMASTER

During the Christmas rush patrons
of the Indiana Harbor and East Chi
cago postoffices are requested to help
out the departments by seeing to the
insurance of their packages, which
they wish to mail, before the time Of
mailing such packages.
The insurance of packages in the
parcel post takes the place of the old
registration and cards must be filled
out for the same. 1t will greatly ia
cilitate matters if these cards are APP
piled for and filled before the Christ
mas rush, and by the same token, any
one with insurance cards to attend to
at the time of the rush will greatly
hamper the expeditions handling of the
holiday mail. One person with such
work to do will keep an entire line
waiting. thereby blocking progress
greatly.

adopted in way by Rev. r. II. john

HELP ALL INDUSTRY
Mork of Trade Unions of Benefit
: Alike to the Employer and
the EmpIoye.
BY JOHN MITCHELL,

1
Ex-President United Mine Workers.
RYYHEN employers and employees
wv learn that their interests are
| " identical and that what is q
benefit to one 10 equally 10 to
ihe other, then will the labor problem
be understood Alright =
1t has been repeatedly shown that
the advance in wages and the short
ening Of hours have resulted not in
IN increase but actually in a decreas-
cd cost Of production. In most indus
tries It has been clearly demonstrated
that q workman really accomplishes
more in. ten hours OF regular work
than he formerly accomplished in
twelve. and in many instances the re-
duction Of the number of working
hours from ten to eight has meant in
creased production as well as greater
profits for the employer.
Taking the mining industry. with
which l am most familiar. l have no
hesitation in saying that as a result
of the reduction In the number of
working hours the output of bitumin-
Gus coal per miner has largely in
omy of short working day, has been
made manifest in England, where the
reduction in the hours of labor has
been coincident with the cheapening
of production and rapid extension of
foreign markets.
The trade union confers a benefit
upon the employer In more ways than
one. 1t sets a price upon the cost of
his labor. The union says to him:
You shall pay at least so much for
each man you employ. and we guar
antee that no man competing with
you will receive his labor at lower
rate" Each employer. in this way, is
guaranteed a wage cost as low as the
most favored employer in the trade
md district.

DUE TO ORGANIZATION
Gratifying Success In Struggles for
Rights and Principles Made Pos
slble Only by the Putting Forth
Of United Strength.

"HE importance OF the part which
organized labor plays in strikes
is made evident by statistics is
sued by the department of COM
| merce and labor. The report extends
over period of 25 years and shows
that of the total number of strikes
during that period no less than So per
cent were ordered by organized labor.
Not only did the workers order the
larger percentage Of strikes. but they
also succeeded in making a good
showing. In 4S per cent of the cases
they won all the demands they made,
in is per cent they were partially
successful and in SO per cent failed
to gain point.
In the matter of lockouts, on the
other hand, the employers were sue
cessful. In mope than 81 per cent
of the establishments involved the en-
ployers came out with flying colors,
winning decisive victories. In IL per
cent they were partially successful
and only failed in 80 per cent of the
cases.
These statistics and others contain
ed in the report are being used as
Etrong arguments IN favor of organiza-
tion, because in Sc per cent of the
disagreements where there was no
union the strikers were ignominiously
defeated, being successful, and then
only in part. in 43 per cent Of these
instances.
During the 25 years from 1882 to
1906 there were 36.757 strikes and
1916 lockouts in the United States.
The total number who went on strike
was 6,728,048 and 716,231 were locked
out. The dependence of one depart
ment upon the other. however, swells
the total to 9.529.434 who were idle
during that period on account of In
austrial disturbances.
Increase of wages alone was the
