holding L secret conference TO con-
slider whether a general strike on all
the railroads Of the country shall be
called next. spring unless the trans
portation lines grant increases in wa
res for overtime and an eight-hour
day.
Tie labor union officials declare
there will be no arbitration Of these
demands. They assert that the deci-
sion last spring: by the board of ar
, bitration, giving the. engineers and
fremcn only small part of the wage
increase demanded, mas caused dis
satisfaction in the ranks of the en-
ployes.

tomotive F!remen. and one Of the
members Of the board Of arbitration,

tration. The principle Of arbitration
is excellent, but it has been abused.

after. We will fatty demand an eight
hour day and time and half for
overtime. We may decide to add other
! demands at our conference. II we not
! get what we ask we will walk out
and every railroad in the country, in

BILL FOR ACQUEDUCT BRIDGE
Representative Carlin Again Intro
duces Appropriation for Sl,500,000

Representative Carlin has intro
duced in Congress the bill sgreed on
last year to replace Aqucduct bridge
with structure to cost S1,500,00q.
No site is named, and this leaves the
selection to the engineers. The word
ing of the bill however, appears TO
call for bridge quite near the pre-.
sent site.
Gen Kingman. chief OF engineers,
War Department, in mis- annual re-
port for use of Congress, recon-
mends the immediate construction OF
the needed bridge, He forsees the
time when further repairs by tinkering
at the piers after a divers examina-
.;o.i sasiia be is!Bo.s.;iih:la 81: ts;s, AZ
from his statement follows:
at has been evident for a number
Of years that the method of repair
ing the bridge is unsatisfactory, and
that sooner or later serious injury
may occur to the old piers, neccssita-
ting the the stopping Of traffic over
the bridge.
"No matter how carefully the diver
may work, his inability to see the pier
always leaves Z feeling of uncertain
ty as TO whether all defects have
been discovered. The five old piers
should be rebuilt or the bridge entire.
ly replaced by wider and stronger
structure adequate to accommodate
the increasing traffic. To rebuild the
piers would render the substructure
safe, but would not provide addition
al facilities. A new bridge is needed
and preliminary steps should be
taken"
The chief of engineers submits nc
estimates and is::isiient on the ques-
tion as to the location of the propos.
ed new bridge.

But, of course, the morals squad
couldn't be expected to discover this.
Their sleuth instincts are directed
solely to the poor thing standing on
a corner waiting to sell herself for
dollar or two or the girl driven to
desperation who falls into the
clutches of these men,"
l repeat, this is not a closed town
despite the work of Funkhouser and
his squad. The only difference be-
tween the old era and the new is that
prostitution used to be confined to
district and today there are very few
furnished room houses into which
woman who must live in a respect
able place goes, that some girls who
have to earn their living by the sale
of their bodies, do not live.
But little while ago a young girl
of twenty told me of a house in which
she lived when she lost her position
and of a girl who lived in the same
house and who showed her kindness
only to also show her how she could
earn her living on the street since
she wasn't able to earn it honestly.
1t is time public opinion stopped
this farce of a moral squad encOur-
aging vice under the pretense Of try
ing to abolish it. It is time the city
awoke from it's stupOr and realized
that we who pay our money to pay |
the salaries of these men who en-
courage prostitution by soliciting and |
arresting girls, who pay part of the |
toll of their bodies to the court, are |
also encouraging prostitution so long |
as we remain Indifferent to the use |
to which our money is being put.

STILL TAKING PEACE
Holland Sees Possibility of Opening
Negotiations

There is much talk in Holland of
the possibility of opening a peace
discussion between the bcligerents.
The Courant publishes an article
from an anonymous diplomatic source
nrping that an immediate peace
might be possible, if not easy, and
recommending that the press of neu-
trail countries undertake the task of
.mediation and reconciling ard re-
moving the errors.
The Dutch Anti-War League at a
meeting last week at The Hague
adopted resolution urging the
Dutch government to call conferen-
ce of neutral powers in the interest
of peace "the conference to sit until
the end Of the war for the purpose
of preparing for and introducing me-
diation measures at the proper time
The article in the Courant. which
has attracted wide attention in Hol-
land. says III part:
although the prospects Of the Ger
manic powers now are better tha!
they ever were before, they canno
ihope for settlement by battle, and
therefore, wiser counsel may prevail
AS to the British, it is not impossible
that they ultimately will listen to TIL
voice of reason. There is no reason
why her opponents should offer con
ditions that would only prolong tht
war unduly. There are increasing
signs that international hatred is de
creasing. In the not too distant FIJI
ture the people of Europe will de
mand to know how long the war i
still to last"

trude GILL the -year-old daughter
Of John Gill, a blacksmith, Old Court

Cured, and knew nothing Of it until
they returned to the city late last
night. =,
According to several smaller chill
dren of the Gill family, who were III
the room at the time, Msis Gill was
using an iron which derived its heat
from gasoline. She attempted to re-
fill the iron before it cooled and the
explosion followed.
With her clothes a mass of flames
the girl ran screaming from the house
and across the road to the home OIL
Mrs. Daniel Snyder, Mrs. Snyder
and John Klohr. who was passing
wrapped the girl in horse blankets
and tried to beat out the flames.
There is no doctor living within
three miles of the place, but DR.. A
C. Smink, of Forest Park, was visit
