MAY ASK MAYOR
' TOEXPLAINH HIS
PUBLIC ATTACK
Poor and Aims Committee
Members Said to Be Prepar-
ing for a Comeback"

Mayor Raymonds attack on the
members of the poor and aims COM
lnittee of the Common Council will
be answered in sharp measure at
meeting of that committee tonight.
About two weeks ago Mayor Ray
nlond, at one of his church speeches,
charged the committee with playing
favorites and even went so far as
TO accuse them of purchasing goods
Tor the almshouse and then distrib-
uting them among their friends.
Besides answering the mayors crit
acisins, the committee will make ar
Sangements for furnishing the new
almshouse at Ivy Hill. This latter
action is made necessary by an opin-
ION given by the Supreme Court stat
ing that the contract as awarded by
the committee some time ago was IL
legal
New specifications will be drawn
up and bids received as soon as pos
sible. 1T is the hope of the committee
TO rush through this contract SO that
The inmates of the old almshouse, in
Elizabeth avenue, can be transferred
TO the Ivy Hill site and the work OF
the city stables on the o site be
rushed through SO that Wolkingmen
can be given employment.
Alderman Thomas j. Lee, jr., chair
man of the poor and aims committee
OF last year and now chairman of the
buildings committee, has taken up
the speech as delivered by the mayor,
and at tOnight's meeting he will ask
the committee to make Mayor Ray
mond either retract his statements
publicly or else prove his assertions
and bring grand jury action against
the committee
Alderman Lee started the criticism
OF Mayor Raymond's methods at last
weeks meeting of the buildings
committee. So warm were the re-
marks at the meeting that at one
time 1t was most decided to pass a
resolution telling the mayor just
what the members of the. committee
thought hf him This procedure was
dropped
Alderman Charles w. Littlefield.
minority leader of last year, and q
stanch Republican took sidts with
his Democratic colleagues and said
ne was forced to agree with them in
some particulars.
1t is said that the members of the
committee will meet with the mayor
today and discuss the furnishings of
the new almshouse.
Although this all took place at q
public meeting, Alderman Littlefield,
It is said, called upon Mayor Ray
mold and apologized for apparently
taking sides against him.

cation Body.
Prom a staa Correspondent.

TRENTON, April Assistant
Commissioner of Education j. B..
Bet today gave an opinion to the
Board of Education, of Riverton,
Burlington county, in which he holds
that Mrs. Louise c. Durburow is en-
titled to membership on the board of
school trustees. An election for mem
bership on the board was held early
in March. The returns compiled by
the local Board of Education showed
that three men had been elected to
ill the vacancies.
Mrs. Durhurow, who was candi-
date, claimed there was irregularity
in the baIloting by which she was
deprived of many votes and she ap-
pealed to the State educational au-
thorities. ~
Assistant Commissioner Belts gave
public hearing on the appeal at
which time the ballots were recount
ed. The opinion of Mr.. Belts showed
that Mrs. Durburow was entitled to
receive sixty-eight votes instead of
the two votes given her by the re-
turns from the local Board of Edu-
cation.
The seating of Mrs. Durburow as
a member of the board of trustees
places the second woman on the
board. The other is Mrs. Charles c.

MATTRESSES CASE BRINGS OUT
HOT WORDS

At the close of a days session in
the court of Judge Baldwin, conspic-
UOus by the number of prominent
business men who~testified that they
had been driven to cease patronizing
restaurants of Knab, Powers and Eff
ting because of their sensitive feel
ings when girl pickets looked at them,
letter written by Fred Ebling, fnan-
Cial secretary and business agent of
the Cooks union and published in the
Mixer and Server Magazine, brought
forth a protest from Judge Baldwin,
whom it criticized.
This evidence was introduced by
Dudley Taylor, lawyer for the restau-
rant combine, who had stated before
a session of the industrial commits
sion, held in the Hotel La Sale, that
he believed judges should be elected
for life, as it was impossible for cap
itaI to get protection in labor trOu-
bIes because of the fact that judges
were afraid of antagOnizing the labor
vote when they came up for re-elec-
aiOn.
The letter written by Ebeling was
not read but Judge Baldwin referred
to a portion of it in which Mr.. Ebel-
ing stated that there had been a mys-
ferrous delay in handing down de-
cision in the injunction matter until
after election.
Judge Baldwin said it was a shock
to him to be accused of having been
unfair in his decision, as he had at
all times exercised entire fairness and
he stated he himself had been a poor
boy and had known what it was to
struggle for existence.
Taylor attempted to show by Ed
ward N. NockeIs of the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor that the so-caIled
unfair list" of organized labor was
a widespread boycott, but Mr.. Mock
els declared there was no general
publication made of the list, only suf-
foiouf oOnioc boi0or T,riDfod for +bo

labor. He stated that the matter is
thoroughly investigated by the feder-
alton and a report made of its find
ings and then a twO-third referendum
vote of the federation is necessary
before the concern unfair to union
labor is placed on the so-called "un-
fair list"
He stated that many attempts had
been made to amicably adjust the
differences between the restaurant
combine and the mattresses before
Knab, Powers and Fitting were placed
on the unfair list.
Taylor also introduced letters writ
ten by Fred Ebeling and published in
the American Socialist regarding the
situation at these restaurants and
Ebeling stated his purpose in writing
these letters was that the mattresses
might put their side of the cOntrOVer-
sy before the public.
DR.. George F. Reynolds, 31st and
Indiana aV., stated that he partially
ceased patronizing Powers restau-
rant because he was afraid that if he
was seen in there by union men they
might cease their patronage of his
dental parlOrs.
Norma Newly, head waitres at the
Knab restaurant on West Adams
street, admitted that she did not IA
vor union labor but said she had
Joined the union when the restau-
rants were unionized in order to hold
her position.
She stated that when the union
agreement went into effect giving the
Mattresses one day of rest in seven
the girls had to work half an hour
longer each day.
The mattresses will endeavor to
show that the attitude of head wait
resses and managers in the Knab res
taurants toward union mattresses
made it impossible to get some of the
union girls to work in Knab houses.

Tears and Smiles

Some girls have such little April faces
and dispositions! One can almost see the
reflection of every passing mood in their
pretty eyes.
Perhaps the day has begun we'll with
sunshine, and everything pleasant and
happy. Then little Miss Sunshine fits
from room TO room. doing her tasks with
"a gay heart and smile like a golden
ray of brightness.
But, alss the blue Sky suddenly be-
comes overcast. He" has not written,
as he so faithfully promised, or the new
frock has not come, and so there will
be no eagerly anticipated evening of
amusement and delight.
Away goes the sunlight from the blue
eyes. and down comes the pathetic little
shower OF tears of disappointment and
unhappiness. Miss Sunshine no longer
lives up to her pretty name; she feels
that she cannot do SO.
But she must take heart, for the world
cannot do without her. Any more than
IL can do without the flowers and the
other lovely things of nature. After the
tears there must be smiles as after the
rain the sunshine.
For that Is the way with a little maid,
and for it she is loved and welcomed.

SUSPICIOUS

A Lack of Belief in Human Nature
By

she declares raptuurously to her husband
when at last the comfortable Sinith
electric leaves them safe and sound at
their own door. And just think-Mrs,
Smith has asked us to go with her for a
rortniahts visit to the mountains! ! told
her we'd he delighted to CO.,
I'VE cannot possibly CO. declared her
husband gloomily. we don't know what
the reason for asking us may be-
"Eut. my dear. we've known the Smiths
quite intimately for three years" cries
little Mrs. Brown. aEhast. "aud II We
cant stay with old friends for short
time want to know the reason why:
That's just like woman" says Brown
gloomily. "You never look for motive
behind actIou-aulte Illogical Can't you
see tha. Smith must he getting some
thing out of all this or he wouldn't put
himself to SO much trouble? Depend
upon it, he wants to do us one way or
another"
The man who has mind like this ts
not nearly so rare as one might imagine
lie met with very. very often. IL one
could read his nncrmost thoughts one
would be truly surprised.
He Is always on the defensive, too. For
he sees Sights and insults in everything.
The saving sense of humOr, so important
in this humdrum old world, is strangely
lacking in his makeup. He sees humor
in nothing. not even in himself and his
own wnims. which is the final testing Of
the prize .humorist.
The suspicious woman, too, has no
sense of humor. If she had. she would
certainly laugh herself out of her sus-
picions. But instead. she is always afraid
that people are laughing at her. She
goes into the huff'' very quickly. Ana
that certainly doesn t tend to make her
any more popular.
Moreover she Elories an receiving
Sights" She doesn't always accept the
apologies, either. For she doubts their
sincerity. And this doubling the SINGER
ity Of others which is the hallmark Of
the suspicious woman. only goes to show
that she Is essentially insiuCerc herself.
For after ALL how can one suspect in
sincerity 10 he always hid in thc motives
oc others. unless il is born in oneself"
Suspicious natures are missing the hap
piness the wonder and the glory of
very wonderful world. For belief in
human nature is the only key that un-
locks the door to happiness.
