LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.


| Editor The Herald.
/ AIgier,. La
Dear Employees of almost
I every railroad in this nation in train
and engine service are demanding
an eight hour day. with time and
one-half for all overtime. The Ma
tional Conference Committee OF Gen
eral Managers are advocating the
| placing of this question before a
Federal inquiry or arbitration board.
Labor being prior to and superior
to capital is therefore entitled to a
fair share Of the wealth they pro-
duce, and under the present sys-
TENS of railroads. they are very
much short of their fair share. and
never under the sun could they re-
ceive fair tratment through arbitra-
ton.
Arbitration is a game Of chance.
even when the dice are not loaded
With the rules OF the game. OBJ
served in every detail. il is a fifty
fifty chance with the usual percent
age 10 the house.
Can you call to mind single in
stance in which workers at any trade
have secured the eight hour dav
through arbitration? The printers.
mine workers, brick layers. carpen-
ters and all other organized labor
were forced 10 Inconvenience the
public with long and repeated strikes
to gain a fair ana equitable work
day Of eight hours with living COM
pensatiOn, but, who OF you (the pub
lic) now regret your Inconvenience?
All mothers of liberty and human
rights have suffered labor pains. If
the railroads may Judge OF the flu
ture by the past experiences. they
perhaps feel safe in submitting the
present eight hour question to an
arbitration board. In the last west
ern arbitration locomotive hostlers.
VINO have always been required TO
work twelve hours a day, every day
III the year. asked for a ten hour
day, and the arbitration board de-
cided that they should continue to
work twelve hours. After having
refused to reduce the twelve hour
day to ten hour a day. it would
be radical to expect another arbitra-
ton board to reduce these same
hostlers to an eight hour day. What
courts are ever radical?
In the last western arbitration of
wages and conditions. of western en-
gineers. firemen and hostlers. the
board was dominated by a man who.
as director or trustee, was directly
concerned in the result of the award.
Aside from many millions of dollars
of other railroad holdings. much of
which would be effected by the
award, he was a director of the
Trust Company that owned one block
of approximately twelve million five
hundred thousand dollars, $12,50O,-
900, of first mortgage bonds of one
of the railroads. party to the arbi-
tratiOn. This man was a so-called
Neutral Arbitrator"
Railroad employees have lost en-
tire faith in the justice of arbitra-
ton, and will cite several other cases
in which they were dOped or jobbed
by arbitration boards in the past.
Very truly yours.

HAVE CHANCE FOR FORTUNE.
TWO of Our Townsmen Are Principal
Owners of New Amusement Device.
Walter OiIzel! Is President: Joseph
Rutilly, Vice President-Treasurer.

Almost everyone who has gone to
a moving picture show or read the
| up-tO-date magazine will have seen at
one time or another a picture of a
Girl or boy riding behind some motor
/ boat on something that looks very
much like a wide board racing
! through the water and splashing on
/ both sides. This was originally
/ known as water plane and was con
/ structed of boards or a piece OF bent
! wood about y it, dong and II. wide
/ turned up at the end nearest To the
/ boat pulling the plane The sport
/ consisted of standing on this plane
and holding on to pair of rens, just
! the same as il you were driving a
| horse, and As YOU are propelled
| through the water by tow line at
tached to some motor boat there is
great sensation of pleasure derived
! therefrOm
We merely site this so as to give
somewhat Of an idea as to the patent
which is now controlled by Messrs.
Dilzell and Rutilly.
This new patented device is so
constructed that there is absolutely
no danger, nor can any harm come
even in the heaviest surf. as the con-
Struction of this aquatic coaster. as il
is known. is made entirely of heavy
canvas and the inner tubes of auto
mobile tires. The device is about
IT. long and IT. wide. Each one
has five compartments into which an
automobile inner tube is inserted and
then inflated to the extent of about
three pounds pressure When all of
the tubes are inflated the coaster will
hold about seven children. complete
ly out of water or as a life preserver
would support as many people as
could get their hands on it. Another
feature Of the apparatus is that il |
could be rolled up into very small
package.
The new company has already
made several large shipments of |
these water coasters to Galveston. |
Texas. the Pacific coast towns and a |
shipment is now being made ready |
for the Atlantic coast resorts. Mr.. |
Joe Rutilly has just returned from |
Galveston. where he made a contract |
for the rental of several hundred of |
these coasters.
Another feature of the company is |
that the coasters are not sold out
right, but they are only rented to |
the different amusement concerns |
along the coast. At the end of the |
season they are returned to the com
pany.
Another use of the water coaster
is that it would act as a life raft in /
case of a serious disaster at sea and !
efforts will shortly be made to inter
est the government and large steam
ship agencies in this new wonderful
invention
1t is stated that the pleasure seek
ers along the coast are going wild
about these new water coasters and
the demand along the Galveston
coast has been so great that the COM
pany has been behind in supplying
the order. The water coaster is now
being manufactured at New Orleans.
Branch offices have been estab-
lished at Tampa, Jacksonville, Sa-
vannah, Charleston. Wilmington, Vir-
ginia Beach, Atlantic City. COney

small crowd. How Miller won only

made enough fielding rrors to let a

the action of the game in hits and
runs was more or less enjoyed by the

good as well as bad individual PLAYS.

mostly ball players. The score was
II to Z in favor of Miller. Winsell

the professor. 1T indicates abnor-

means an extremely cool summer.
