signal for the crossing was set against
him. SO severe was the storm which
was raging.

it plowed into the hotel, which was
badly damaged. The tender and mail

COACHES remained upon the track.
The only person hurt was the mail
clerk. whose name has not been

UNIONS AND CHURCH

UNIONS AND CHURCHES.-The
principle of Unionism is most Chris
tian-like. The obligations if lived up
to are bound to make one a most de-
sirable citizen, consequently, above
all, the church ought to give recOgni-
ton to the unions.
But, alas, the church is a strong
opponent. It may deny this. 1t is
true, nevertheless. eve are neutral, -
they say. The fact remains that they
are either for US or against us. The
same argument is frequently used
while soliciting new members for the
church from among those who say
they can be good Christians without
being members of a church.
Recognition might be given in va
TiOUs ways if good union men are
really wanted as church members.
One way would be to allow the union
label to appear on their printed mat
ter.
Often printers and other business
men make donations to the church
for advertising purposes. This I'M
fair method is what the legitimate
business man has to contend with. It
is unfair because if cold cash had
been paid to get the same results
through advertising it would be quite
an item. Instead Of it being a dOna-
ton, it is hypocrisy, pure and simple,
because the poor dub" are led to

Motorman May Be Blamed For Crash
 on Congress Street

That the fnotorman of the trolley car that left the track at Congress street and Washington avenue Satur- day afternoon, when half a dozen per sons were injured, will be blamed for the accident seemed likely today from the Connecticut Co.'S investigation.
 Unless Henry Haber, who was at the controller of the car, can throw some light on the occurrence, the trolley company is likely to place the responsibility upon him. Today it was announced that the company investi- gators had eliminated the car and roadbed as factors and are inquiring into the human element.
 General Manager Charles H. Chap man said today:
 '"The company is investigating the matter fully. Owing to the condition of Motorman Haber, in the hospital where he is recovering. full particu- lars have not been learned. When possible, we will question the motor man closely for it has been found that the car was in perfect condition. the track had recently been relaid and the physical equipment is seemingly perfect.
 "It would therefore appear from preliminary examination of the facts at hand that the human element is involved.
 While it is true that the car in operation was of the smaller type, it is not by any means an old car, though of the single-truck variety These cars are perfectly safe under lines where traffic is light"
 To determine whether Haber suf- fered a broken chest, an X-ray pie ture was taken today at the Bridge port hospital. When he was taken to the hospital it was believed that his chest had been crushed and several ribs fractured, but until the X-ray picture is developed, the exact nature of fthe injuries will not be known.
 Haber was thrown against pole when the car left the tracks. The passengers were thrown from the car but most of those injured were taken to their homes where they are re- ported as resting comfortably today.
 Mrs. John Farrell, who was report. ed to have been taken to her home, if Center street, with other victims, il the police patrol, which chanced to be passing the scene of the wreck, wa. not thus conveyed. She was carried homo in a privately owned automo- bile.
