Dor news letter says:
"Once upon a time, the story goes,

tions. 1t was resolved that We, the
people of England
The modern version of this incident is
now being staged in Denver where six
men, styling themselves the National
Association of Railroad Employees, notify
President Wilson that they represent the
I 5000 railroad employees mot affected
by the Adamson law
The nations chief executive is as
sured by these tailors of Tooley street
that their organization will in no wise
be union of menace to the peace and
prosperity OF the country All of which
the president is expected to interpret
that the prototypes of Tooley street do
not favor trade unions or the railroad
brotherhoods.

Philosopher

one week in Denver. Young Kaplan is
the only son of Israel Kaplan, a wealthy
manufactured OF Syracuse. Fate decreed
that he should have five sisters, which
with his mother made six women in the
family. During all of his fifteen years
this has weighed heavily upon the mind
of the boy. He craved masculine com
pany and aspired to be a soldier. Ar
irving in Denver he rented room and
bath at prominent hotel, then pur.
chased khaki outfit and a pair of put
tees. Next in order he applied to the
United States recruiting station, where
the officers doubted Arthur's statement
that he was eighteen years old. The
young man was arrested on suspicion
of being deserter from home, taken to
the police station and turned over to
the matron. This aroused Indignation
on the part of the would-be soldier. 4
humane officer persuaded Benjamin
Claff, the well known Curtis street res
tauranter, to act as Arthur's temporary
guardian. The boy was taken to Mr..
Claff's home to await word from the
family in Syracuse. Here again Arthur
was fated to be surrounded on all sides
by feminine company, because in Ben
Claff's family there are six girls and no
boys. Nice girls said Arthur, but
still they are Just girls" Next morn
ing Arthur called upon Chief of Police
Armstrong and requested that he be sent
back to Syracuse, as he had made a
failure, even after his long trip to Colo
RADIO, in getting away from female asso-
Citations.
