Thought is never helpful unless
there is coupled with it some form of
vigorous action.
We have all thirst for variety,
but our thirst varies; we do not all
drink to excess.
Many a great effort owes its final
success to the sound of a faint cheer
There is nothing in life so impor-
tant as to think before you act.

Many a mans hard luck is due to
his efforts to avoid hard work.
Actions speak louder than words,

done little thinking first.

is a platform and piano and people
from the music halls come and sing.
They try to get singers who are down

pay a small sum. The songs are most
~ about soldiers and there is great en-
thuiasm. Last night they sang a new
ono about "L'OnCle Sam" dedicated to
Cen. Pershng. Every man was given a
little American flag and the room was
dc Corated with the flags Of the Allies.

later in the afternoon members of the
Chamber Of Commerce attended
meeting of the strikers and discuss
ed the matter at some length urging
the men very hard to postpone their
action for a short time. Mr.. Eaton
was present at this meeting also and
again asked the men to do as request
ed that the public might not suffer. So
far as formal action at the meeting
was concerned, this request was re-
fused, both the MANAGEMENT and citi-
ZenS generally strongly believed how
ever, that a large part Of the men are
not in full sympathy with this action
and will within short time return to
work In the meantime sufficient
number of men will he on hand to
handle the cars and the public is as
sured of the utmost possible service
which can be given"
The men refused to return to work

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Opera House

Douglas Fairbanks in wild and
Woolley" at the opera House proved
to he a thriller from start to finish.
Mr.. Fairbanks is considered one of
the most pc: ular screen stars and it
is rarely that he is seen in this sec
ton. In wild and Woolley" the
story ranges from the peaceful east
to the wild west and the play gives
Mr. Fairbanks full opportunity to
show his ability to the best advan-
tage. Mr.. Fairbanks is thorough
athlete and the thrilling stunts which
he pulls off can not help but take with
the large audiences at this time. Be-
sides being full of thrills, there is a
strain of humor through the whole
play which adds to the charm of the
performance. Ben Wilson appears in
The Voice on the Wire The same
show will he given Thursday.

Statement of President Eaton
Hon. Harvey D. Eaton. president of

DAY evening gave out the following in
terview regarding the strike:
Various matters have been under
discussion and adjustment between
the management and operatives for
months past Some time ago the OPP
eratives formed union. To this the
management offered no objection. Not
all Of the operatives joined the union
then, nor have they all done so since.
Some four months ago, the union ask
ed the management to contract with
the union, in regard to wages and
working conditions. The management
agreed to discuss all such matters with
| the employees generally, or with any
committee, and assented to making a
contract with the employees whenever
| the matters under question were set
tied. The company refused, however.
to make the contract in the name Of
the union, because of the unions as
sumption to control the discharge of
operatives. This position of the COM
pany was made absolutely positive and
clear four months or more ago. Va
rious matters required further consid-
Grafton and about three weeks since

gard to both pay and working condi-
tons were assented to by the man

ed that the union held meeting and
voted not to accept the agreement un-
less made in the name of the union

agreed to by that time. The manage
ment was informed Of TINS on Tues
day but could not believe that the men
really meant 1t. At noon on Wednes-
day, however. a considerable number
Of men quit work and a meeting was
