LABOR FEDERATION STANDS
FOR PHYSICAL PREPAREDNESS


Organized labor's stand on the pre-
paredness question was given out by
the Chicago Federation of Labor yes
terday. The report was made up by
the executive board, which has been
studying the problem for weeks. 1t
advocates physical rather than mill
tary preparedness. It draws the line
between the militarism advocated by
commercial interests and the prepar-
edness labor wants to protect human
life and the products of labor.
It says the program advocated by
Big Business and the newspapers
which it controls should be opposed
by organized labor.
Here is the report condensed:
There is a struggle for the control
of industrial organization going on
throughout the countries of the world
between the commercial interests
whose problems are problems of
trade, protection of privilege, deve-
lopment of colonies, spheres Of inf1u-
ence and commercial privilege.
Plans for a heavy armament would
cost DllnOnS. 1t would develop great
ammunition trusts and other trusts
which take their life from labor of
workers. 1t would forever crush the
hope of democracy by building up an
oGgarchy of powerful commercial
forces.
Warfare is becoming more mat
ter of mechanics and labor. En-
gineers, chemists, mechanics and la
borers are fighting the war in Europe.
Military organization must include
industrial organization. Every plan
so far proposed looks to coercion to
get the workers under military con-
troll.
Increase IN the standing army |
should be opposed
The government should operate all |
munition factories and natural re-
10 81 81, |

| be represented on all military boards.
If American workers are drawn
into the army the demand for labor
power would offer an excuse for
bringing more low-paid workers who
would undermine the standard of liv-
ing and nave every real problem of
labor more acute. Problems of labor
are increased wages, shorter work
day, better conditions, stronger or
ganization and development in the
political field.
An increased army and navy would
not solve single problem labor has
to face.
Preparedness is needed in the
United States, but it must be based
on physical fitness. Patriotism is
needed which is based on the love of
country and only country which
guarantees liberty and opportunity
will be loved.
FREE DR.. HAISELDEN OF BABY
BOLLINGER DEATH BLAME
DIR. Harry j. Halselden has been
freed from any chance that the state
board of health might revoke his Ii
cense because he let Baby Bollinger
die.
DR.. Haiselden was the consulting,
not the attending physician in the
case. Atty Gen. Lucey, therefore,
declared he was not responsible.
The secretary of the board said 8
that the board would probably have

Lost Handbag Found After Two


Mrs. Harry Frey, of Minneapolis,
Mimi, while visiting at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin w. Gregg, near
Fairfield, two years ago this Christ
mas lost her handbag while driving
near Rock Spring schoolhouse, close
to the Maryland line. 1t contained
a gold watch, gold thimble, stick pin,
a photo she highly priced, gold spect-
acles, quite a sum of money and
other articles. Her loss was made
known through the columns of the
newspapers, and a reward offered.
Results were not forthcoming until
about the middle of September this
year when Slater McComsey came to
y. Allan Kinks jewelry store in
Quarryville with a pair of gold
spectacles which he desired to trade
towards watch. Mr.. Kirk knew
of the loss of the spectaeles and did
not make the trade. He learned
that they we're the ones lost.
Mrs. Gregg went to the home of
Roland Riley. at Rock Springs, who
had found the lost handbagl and
secured the lost articles. The main
spring of the watch was broken,
The money and a few minor articles
were not secured, but the most valu-
able contents were given over by

BRIDGE TOLLS REDUCED.
Court Dismisses Petition OF Bridge
Co. And CompelIs Lower Rates.

Co. And CompelIs Lower Rates.
The Public Service Commission
through Attorneys w. CabelI Bruce
and Osborne I. Yellott, field thei1
answer Oct. to the Injunction suit
filed several weeks ago by the Havre
de Grace and Perryville Bridge Com
pany in the Circuit Court, Part 2.
Denials are made of all the principal
allegations in the injunction suit and
strong defense is made of the
actions of the Public Service Com
mission.
The answer denies that the bridge
was constructed as toll bridge for
vehicle or person anc declared that
the approaches to the bridge in both
Hartford and Cecil counties were
built by the railroad company at the
cost of $4,000. The expenses as
sumed by the stockholders of the
plaintiff company, according to the
answer, were $1,791.94, of which
they paid $791, and the rest was
raised by tolls from January, 1910,
un:t: the bridge was repaired. The
Public Service Commission also de-
nies that the bridge will accommo-
date 10 times as much traffic as it
formerly did and alleges users of the
bridge must use exceptional care to
avoid accidents. The bridge, it is
alleged, was built for single-track
railroad and has never been altered.
In conclusion the commission al
leges that $250,000 is a reasonable
and fair valuation of the bridge and
was arrived at after due consider
alton of the evidence of experts
The defendants also declared their
action in deciding the case was not
unreasonable or unlawful and asked
that the injunction be dismissed.
The new reduced toll rates for
traffic over the Havre de Grace Perry
vile Bridge Company's Susquehanna
river span, went into effect on Oct.
10, as recently ordered by the
Public Service Commission. Judge
Bond in the Baltimore City Circuit
Court, on Oct. 9 dismissed the appli-
cation for a preliminary injunction
filed by the bridge company to res
train the Public Service Commission
from putting the rates into effect,
which cleared the way for the new
rates.
The new rates represent total
decrease of 45.8 per cent according
to the plaintiffs. 1t has been the
contention of the bridge company
that this is too great a decrease. A
special fight was made in court on
the automobile toll, which was re-
duced from 81 to so cents. The
Company contended that it was from
this source that it received most of
its income.
