BROAD PLATFORMS. - Eureka!
The last has been found. TheO.
Johnson and Jay Carey have spoken.
So all you Socialists and Single Tax
ers who don't believe and vote as
your great grandfather did, go way
back and sit down. We are going to
have a new organization, a broad
platform, "aII inclusive" The rObber
and the robbed will meet in harmony
when the lamb can lie down in per-
feet safety alongside Of the famished
lion.
A fire breaks out in a large hall
The hall is full of people and there is
only one door. Some Of the people
get out, some are trampled to death,
some are injured, some are burned.
Of all the people in the hall, who have
the better chance to escape, those
nearest the door or those in the
front? Would the strong fare better
than the weak? Then, again, which
is most likely to be saved, the selfish
man who fights and drags others
down, who stands upon the fallen
bodies OF. women and children, and
wins his way by force, or the human
itarian man who tries to help the
women and children and will not
trampIe upon them? Now what
would you think if some large, sell
fish man, who sat near the door, cried
aloud: 81 got out. They could get
out, too, if they had only tried? This
world is a large hall, the door is the
staff of life, the struggle is to own or
be owned, but why say more, for have
not the jays spOken?-J. M. w.
What furniture can give such fin.
ish to a room as the face of happy

WATERS HAVE REAL HOME AND
PROPER SPIRIT
Society clubs in Chicago have
nothing on the Chicago Walters
assn at 115 w. Madison street, which
recently obtained Chicago charter z
from the American Federation of
Labor. Within this club many Ian
guages are spoken and more dress
suits are to be seen than in any of
the palatial Michigan avenue club
houses.
Established years ago as a meeting
and resting place for walters off duty,
this club now has a membership of
400 and its roll of members is ex-
pected to be swelled another thou
sand by the amalgamatiOn with the
four bartenders' unions of the city.
For years this association was not
connected with the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor. Walters Union, Local
35, made repeated efforts to absorb
the association. Finally number 35
and the walters club united under a
new charter, number z.
The association retained its board
of directors and its committees and
the union retained it's officers. The
former officials transact all the bust
ness of the union and the social side
of the institution is managed by the
club.
The association has the second,
third and fourth floors at lis w.
Madison street and have leased the
fourth floor of the Farrell bldg, which
is on the corner of Clark and Madi-
son. There are pool and billiard
tables, shower baths and a tailor who
mends, makes and presses the dress
suits of the members.

Section of Canal
Act Attacked by the
Railroad Upheld

PHILADELPHIA. May 1s.-JThe United
States district court here today dismissed
the bill Of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
company which sought 10 restrain the
Interstate Commerce commission from
enforcing its order dlyorcIng the railroad
from its interests in steamship lines on
The Great Lakes.
The railroad had been granted a tenn
porary injunction restraining the COM
mission from enforcing the order against
the Lehigh Valley continuing its interest
In the I.ebigh Valley Transportation com
pany Today's decision was on the ques-
ton Of making the injunction permanent
The commission had kept strictly within
the powers conferred by congress, the
court said.
The railroad had attacked paragraph
In the Panama canal act which empowers
the commission TO permit operation OF an
existing specified service by water II II
was not against the public interest The
attack was made on the ground that CON
gress should have enacted standards TO
which the commission should conform
and that the subject should not have been
turned over TO the arbitrary action OF the
commission.
The court disagreed with this contention
and said congress had done all that was
reasonably necessary.
