Passenger is Peeved
by Time Card Change

The new time card ON the Rock
Island was the source of much indig-
nation to a lady who wished to en-
train for Verden yesterday, according
to the old schedule The train which
formerly left Chickasha for the west
at 4.SG o'clock p. m, now perambu-
lates out Of here at o'clock p. m, an
hour and thirty minutes earlier in its
journey to the short-grass country. Of
this fact the lady was unaware and
seemed to question the veracity Of the
gentlemanly ticket dispenser in charge
Of the company's transportation win
dow at the Rock Island depot when
he informed her that her train "was
done gone"
Useless it was for this gentleman
TO explain to the worried lady. She
assured him that the conductor or
whose train she had ridden to Chick
asha, had told her nothing of the
change The agent assured her in
turn, on his word Of honor as an en-
ploye of large and soul-less1 cor
poration, that no matter if the con
ductor had not advised her of the
change, the change had, nevertheless,
been made This did not satisfy the
lady and she took counsel Of a large
and harmless and perfectly I'M
informed gentleman who was busy at
the time in turning the railway corn
pany's passenger platform into a
smoking room, and he advised her
that the agent was probably not con-
yersant with the train schedules, and
that it might be well for her to advise

with the baggage man. This she did
The baggage man corroborated the
testimony of the ticket agent. Having
secured corroborasive testimony the
lady returned to her charge on the
ticket seller and demanded of him the
exact time the next westbound Rock
Island passenger train was due out Of
Chickasha, together with an assur-
ance from him that the company
would not take advantage of the trav-
cling public and change its time cara

about it, young man." the lady said,

THOUGHTS FOR THE NEW YEAR

The time which marks the close of the old year and the be- |ginning of the new is suggestive | of the many things which we should do we'll to consider.
 It reminds us of onr blessings land so suggests thoughts of gratitude to the great Giver. We should be grateful, in first place, for our blessings for the
 personal preservation of life and
 for the things that make life
 worth while. Then we should be
 grateful for national blessings
 n which as individuals We have
 D share. These national bless 3ngs are peculiarly impressive &ust now. While a large part Of ! he world is sufterioE the horror Anl devastation of the most tel I jole war that las ever cursed

deserving tkat our smltten and brothers and sisters across the sea would be unpardonable egotlsm. And yet somehow we are spared while they are wounded and homeless and cold and weary and hungry. We have no ground for boasting or self praise, but there is no reason why we may not humbly and reverently give thanks to our Heavenly Father for the upmali.cd mercies he has bestowed upon ms.
 The reason should awaken within us feelings of regret and paniLence for our failures and shortcomings and lead us to an earnest determination to make better use of the year upon which we are entering than we have

 Let us, therefore, VOW that we will make the new year better than the old has been, and then. trusting in God to help us, re- solutely and cheerfully face the future with all it's dangers and all it's inspiring possibilities. If we believe in the protection and help of the Heavenly Father there is no reason why we should be afraid of the dangers, but every reason why we should joy ously welcome and improve the opportunities for growth and service.

Much has also been said and writ. ten concerning the Coal Trust" It is a fact, however. that the residents of Cordova are buying coal today at the same prices that are charged in Valdez, and the haul in Cordova is more than three times that in Valdez. Never before in the history of this town has the coal been of such good quality, and so cheap in price as dur ing the past year, a fact which has been appreciated by the majority of our people. But in every community there will be found those eager to mis-

missioner yesterday they were not
acting in the interests of the people,
but in the interests of the campaign
funds for their reelection, which
comes in June" This statement was
made to The Day Book last night by
John T. Fitzpatrick, pres. Chicago
Federation of Labor.
Two months ago the federation
wrote to the judges asking that the
next member of the park board be
representative Of labor and not Of the
south side millionaires. The judges
answered asking the federation to
name two men, who would be given
consideration by the judges in the
election of the next trustee.
Patterson formerly acted as secre-
tary to Tilden and was also an official
in the National Packing Co. with Til
den. AS present he is a trustee in the
following banks: The DrOvers' Ma
tional, the Drovers' Trust, Fort Dear
born, WoodlaWn Trust and Savings.
He is also treasurer of the Hygienic
Ice Co. and sec'y of the Schulz Bak-
ing Co.
Pres. Fitzpatrick of the Chicago
Federation of Labor was the candi-
date with the next highest number of
votes" said Chief Justice John P. Nc
Goorty. 1.-THE names of the other two
delegates were withdrawn by the fed
GRAFTON, who endorsed him instead.
For time the decision was doubtful.
One Of the judges said that Patterson
was fair to labor, having acted as ar
bitter in a number of labor disputes
at the stockyards. On the next bal
lot Patterson won"
Judge McGoorty refused to tell the
majority by which Patterson was
elected and the name of the Judge
who said Patterson was fair to labor.

the name of union Official This,
also, he refused to divulge.
When Fitzpatrick heard this state
ment he laughed.
Il think l know who this union Of
fetal was and l intend to look this
up" he said. 81 don't doubt but
what the whole matter was cut and
dried before the judges held this
meeting. I have never heard of Pat
terson acting as an arbiter In any
labor disputes. Union labor was
throttIed in the stockyards years ago.
The conditions of the men now work.
ing in the yards shows how fairly
they were treated when they walked
out on strike for better conditions
and wages years ago. Packers and
other companies in the yards are UNI
fair to labor.
These judges were told who to ap-
point and they had to comply with
their masters bidding. The five mil
liofaire South Park commissioners
are so far removed from labor that
they nave no regard IOT the TISuCS
and conditions Of the men working
under them. At present there is a
system of supervision maintained in
the south parks that is so unbearable
that hardly any union man will work
there.
"OnIy the indefensible non-union-
list, who has no desire to better him
self or others, will submit to these in
tolerable conditions. Organized la
Dor and the South Park Employees

of a man who understands labor.

means that the hand of the task

be laid down harder than in the past.

RAILROADS APPEAL
 TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Relief-President Wilson Di- rects Attention of Public to
 Their Needs.

The committee of railroad ex- ecutives, headed by MT. Frank Trumbull. representing thirty five of the leading railroad sys- tens of the nation, recently pre- sented to President Wilson a memorandum briefly reviewing the difficulties now confronting the railroads of the country and asking for the cooperation of the governmental authorities and the public in supporting railroad credits and recognizing an emer- gency which requires that the railroads be given additional rev enues.
 The memorandum recites that the European war has resulted in general depression of business on the American continent and in the dislocation of credits at home and abroad. With revenues de creasing and interest rates in creasing the transportation sys- tems of the country face a most serious crisis and the memoran- dunn IS strong presentation of the candle burning at both ends and the perils that must ultimate lv attend such conflagration when the flames meet IS apparent to all. In their general discussion the railroad representatives say in part: By reason of legisla- ton and regulation by the Fed eral Government and the forty eight states acting independently of each other, as we'll as through the action of strong public opin- ion, railroad expenses in recent years have vastly increased. No criticism is here made of the gen eral theory of governmental regu- lation, but on the other hand, no ingenuity can relieve the carriers of expenses created thereby.'
 President Wilson, in transmit ting the memorandum of the rail road presidents to the public, characterizes 1t az "a lucid state ment of plain truth" The Pres ident recognizing the emergency as extraordinary, continuing. said in part:
 You ask me to call the atten- ton of the country to the imper- ative need that railway credits be sustained and the railroads helped in every possible way. whether by private cooperative effort or by the action. wherever feasible of governmental agencies and l am glad to do so because l think the need very real"
 The conference was certainly a fortunate one for the nation and the President is to be congratu- lated for opening the gate to a new world of effort in which everyone may cooperate.
 There are many important problems in our complex civili- ration that will yield to co-opera- ton which will not lend them selves to arbitrary rulings oi commissions and financing rail roads is one of them. The man with the money is a factor tha, cannot he eliminated from any SusinesS transaction, and the public is an interested party tha, should always be consulted and happily the President has invited all to participate in the solutios of our railroad problems.
