FITZPATRICK ANSWERS TRIB


When Pres. John Fitzpatrick of
the Chicago Federation of Labor was
asked to comment upon the biased
story of the Tribune on the meeting
of the federation Sunday he said:
What else could you expect from
the Tribune?"
This morning the Trib follows the
attack of yesterday with an editorial
insinUating that the federation is re-
sponsible for the alleged labor slug
gings, shOOtings and bomb throwing
that have been laid at the doors of
the unions by private detective
agencies and the employees.
The officials of the federation,
when their attention was called to
the editorial, remarked that the Trib
was merely hammering another nail
in the coffin of Truth" whom she
fOully murdered long ago

DE PALMA LOOKS LIKE FIRST
MAN OFF IN BIG RACE

MAN OFF IN BIG RACE
Ralph DePalma will probably be
the first man to get away in the big
Speedway race next Saturday. If he
does it will be because no other driv-
eT in qualifying trials beats his speed
attained Monday when he turned a
lap in 1912, a speed of 1915 miles
an hour.
DariO Resta, the only other man
to qualify yesterday, made los miles
per hour with time at 1856.
Eddie O'DOnneIl had Devlin's Due
senberg, which he will pilot Satur-
day, and without making official
tests ran better than 100 miles per
hour. Gil Anderson and Howard
Wilcox got stalled at Frankfort, Ind,
on account of bad roads and will not
get in until today.
Wilbur D'Alene, Tunner-Up at In
dianapOlis, had his white June bug
out and seemed to take the Chicago
track even better than at Indianap-
oils. He is expected to be very
much in the running Saturday.
This afternoon Ralph DePalma
will attempt to run his Mercedes
faster in a straight hours run than
any other driver has succeeded in
going. In addition to this, the bulk
of the other qualifications will be
run. Nine cars that have been en-
tered are slated to be edged out in
the qualifying runs, as Al cars have
been booked and only 80 can run,
according to A. A. A. rules.

SOME TROUBLE STILL UP~IN
COMMONWEALTH STRIKE
Everything is not settled in the
electricians strike against the. Com
monwealth Edison Co. Following
the acceptance of an offer of the
company at the meeting of the union
last night, the men decided to go
back to work this morning. When
they arrived on the job the company
demanded that they make out new
application blanks. Some Of the men
refused to do this and many are still
out on strike.
The company offered to let the
men carry their union cards and to
split the wage increase asked.
LOEB PLANS FLAG RAISING

Jacob Loeb and his school board
have hit upon another scheme to

It is a flag raising and lowering
ceremony which is proposed to be

a marching flag to each school It
is planned to have a bugle blow at the

A New CD Species of HyphenatA

To the Editor OF THE TIMES
A short time ago there appeared in
the newspapers an item concerning A
newly-formed society bearing soma
such name as the American Rights
Society or the American Defense So
ciety." Its object was not so much to
advocate one or another form OF ma
tional preparedness as to arouse both
people and Government TO more vigOr-
Gus efforts to maintain our undoubtri
national rights in the present crisis and
to fulfill our undOubted duty to those
OF our citizens who need the nation
protection.
1t Is painfully evident that there 10

NATIONAL PARK WONDERS

The Jealous Department of the In
erlor, anxious to increase the popu-
arlty Of our national parks and
mindful that American travellers are
specially susceptible to ruins, has
az up one (in the literal sense) in
ne Mesa Verde Park which prom
ses to put to shame anything short
~ the Parthenon or the Temple Of
harnak. Those who like little an
vIquity with their sightseeing would
do well to turn their steps in that
direction straightway.
Since 1900 A. D., according TO the
best calculation, great hall with
walls four feet thick has stood there
upon the mesa. At some intervening
time and for an ineXplicable purpose
his Temple of the Sun, for such it
IS taken to be, was covered with a
huge mound. The Smithsonian In
stltution directed the opening of this
and has issued a report of what it
found.

HELPING MEN HELP THEM
SELVES

So much good material was COM
pressed in the two days session of
the National Civic Federation that
not until full reports Of the proceed
ings are published will all the ad-
dresses and reports be available for
careful study. No one phase of that
body's discussions was more signiti-
cant than that bearing on welfare
work among industrial workers, un-
less it was the discussion of pre-
paredness. No consideration of the
latter would have been complete
without the former. for modern war
fare points to one fact strongly: that
industrial preparedness must go
hand in hand with national defense.
Some of the facts about the well
fare work undertaken by employers
for their employees were outlined by
William G.. Mather, of Cleveland,
who has made survey of progress
in this line. He finds that the ad-
vance made since the beginning of
the present century is amazing, and
at the present rate the movement
Will gam u momentum "HlSl SIloulNl
satisfy the most ardent reformers.
Mr.. Mather reported that more
than 300 employers have under
taken welfare work on large scale.
Millions of employees receive the
benefits. The work has extended TO
nearly all of the 306 recognized in
dustries of the United States.
Many workers who are not so old
can remember the time when wash
ing, and even toilet facilities, were
lacking in factories. They have lived
to see progressive industries provide
not only these, but shower baths
lunch rooms, see TO it that the
drinking water supply is pure

dens. encourage men to organize rec
reation and social clubs, have night

understandable speech, explain the

There are several men in Congress
competent to do this piece of work
and do it right. We believe Mr.

. If Mr.. Lodge would discuss the

THE CASE OF MRS. PANkhURST

Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, arriv-
ing at New York the other day, was
ostentatiously held up, denied admit
tance to the country on the ground
that she was an undesirable alien,
and put to considerable trouble and
annoyance before the interposition
Of President Wilson ended her trou-
bles.
She had been convicted of crime"
in England! The extemporized
crime that Parliament manufactured
in order to have way to suppress
miIitancy!
Mrs. Pankhurst had this expert
ence once before. General Castro
was the object of a bitter assault
when he came here to travel; there
was effort to bar General Huerta. In
fact, any Of the people who are
really important enough in the out
side world to have got their names
in the papers, can generally be
made trouble when they attempt to
visit this country.
The "land Of the free" lets in non
descripts SO freely that it now pos
sesses about 100000 inhabitants
who are not citizens, who belong to
other countries, who seem to have
no purpose of becoming citizens
here.
But it has fine facilities for max,
ing spectacle of itself when people
of culture, position, and Significance
