ISURE SHIP SAFETY
The resolution introduced by M L.
Johnson and passed asks Pres. Will
son to appoint a commission of three
to give a real investigation, one in
which the people Of Chicago can put
some faith. This committee would
be composed of a naval expert who is
not identified with the steamboat in
spectiOn service, a Chicago alderman
and a representative of labor or the
travelling public.
Another resolution instructed the
federatiOn's officers to petition Pres.
Wilson to at once thoroughly investi-
gate not only the Eastland disaster
but the whole field of steamboat serv-
ice inspection and to see that ship
owners or government inspectors did
not escape responsibility. The with
drawal of Sec'y Redfeld from Chi
cagO is desired.
Victor Olander, president of the
seamen's union, was several times
given an ovation.
1.-The federation is not seeking re-
venge, but protection" it was stated.
ct wants Uncle Sam to take a les
son from the EastIand, even if the
fate of the Gen. SIocum, the Valencia,
Monroe, Pere Marquette and scores
of other boats have not brought home
to him the need for better inspection

"Sec'y Redfeld's sneering, sarcas4

in it's report"

other Chinaman came out Of the dark
ness.

teered He vashee weIl-as well as
me. He take your laundry tonight"
Where are you going, Linz" asked
my father.
Lin grinned Me going to China"
he said. Me fight in grand army Of
the republic"
This sounded little like blasphemy
to my father. who was Grand Army
man, and fought under Grant, though
it cost him his estates to do so and he
was boycotted by the neighbors until
an indefinite time in the seventies
However. all that is forgotten now,
thank God. We understood that Lin
Lee had felt the breath OF patriotism
stirring in the dry, sapless bones Of
his native land and wished to enroll
himself under the Dragon flag 20 fight
against the tyrant, and. as patriotic
Americans. We could not but approve
his choice.
Lin Lee disappeared just as mys-
teriously as Lin Loo had come, but
that made no difference Lin Loo
was just as capable laundryman as
Lin Lee. The ladies OF our family,
in fact, maintained that Lin Loo had a
special genius for interpreting the
laundry needs Of their own garments
and, az a result, Lin Loo was to be
seen ironing until far into the night
in his little store on Main street.
1t Is strange, By the way. isn't it,
that one always sees Cinnamon iron

Lin Loo was also an Episcopalian.
