The Strike and the Public.
70 the Editor of The Star

To the Editor of The Star:
AS daily reader of The Star I wish
to inquire what right the so-called
strikers" of this city have to expect
the sympathy and support of the law
abiding public? These men voluntarily
gave up their positions with the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company,
thus severing their business relations
with the company. Immediately their
rights and privileges with respect to
the company became identical with
those of the public. The so-called
strikers" Of course, have the right to
walk or to select any other mode Of
travel without Interference The public
has precisely the same Sight. In order
joy this privilege 1t has the right to
demand that the property of the COM
pany shall not be unlawfully damaged
or destroyed. that it's cars shall be
operated without Interference and that
it's patrons shall be free from annoy
ance, insults and intimidation.
The demand of the so-called "strik-
ers' that the Amalgamated Association
of Street Car and Electric Railway EN-
ployes be made a party to the COM
pany's affairs against the judgment Of
its officers and directors, and against
the wishes OF practically all of its pres
ent employees, and without the consent
of the public. Is to say the least au-
dacious.
The public has a greater right to de-
mand that the officers and directors of
the company shall not recognize the
Amalgamated Association of Street Car
and Electric Railway Employees. as to
do so would weaken the company's dis
cipline over its employees, hence would
lower the efficiency Of the public
service.
The acts Of the so-called STRIKERS" in
violation of the rights Of the public
should receive the Condemnation of all
aw-abiding citizens.

London Reports.

LONDON, March 29.-There are vari-
Gus suggestions concerning the reason
for the present visit of the Austrian
emperor to Emperor William. The
Daily Mail says it learns from Vienna,
by way Of Switzerland, that the con-
ference between the emperors is to de-
eide whether the Austro German policy
toward the United States shall be modi-
fed so as to avoid war, or whether the
present submarine methods, which are
certain to provoke war with the United
States, shall be maintained.
The above is the first intfmatfon that
there is to be meeting between EN-
peror William and Emperor Charles

their knowledge by obtaining the requi-

shipping also will be an important part
of the report. In all this work the
British government has shown the
greatest willingness to impart the de-
sired information.
The embassy staff also is making a
report on the British censorship. The
American government already is in

LONDON, March o9-The entire staff
Of the American embassy, some of
whose members are devoting all their
time to the work, is preparing infor-
nation for the government at Wash
ington which is expected to be useful
in the event of war with Germany. The
British government is displaying the
utmost cordiality in providing the de-

Secretary Daniels returned the speech
yesterday morning, according to Mr.. Guy,
with a note saying the rule relating to
Admiral Fiske still held. Mr.. Guy then
called Washington on the telephone. and
told the Navy Department he had read
in the newspapers that Admiral Fislie
had delivered a speech in this city Tues
day night. He was informed, he de-
clared, that the address of Admiral
Fiske. which was at a meeting arranged
by the Navy League of the United
States. had been without the knowledge
or permission of the Navy Department,
although it had been announced that the
speech had been approved by Secretary
Daniels.
Mr.. Guy said he then made inquiries
in this city and found that Admiral Fislle

derstanding on the part of some one Is

Washington denying him permission to

In his address at the Navy League
meeting Admiral Fiske declared there
was at least an even chance that Ger

that she might be able to dictate terms
of peace which would permit her to send
her fleet to this side of the Atlantic.

In order to meet representatives Of
the Elmira Glove Factory the Wau-
seon Boosters Club held a special
meeting last Monday evening. The
gentlemen of the glove factory eX-
pect to change the location of their
factory very soon. They are finding
it difficult to secure sufficient help in
their present location and they are
cramped for adequate space, two pos
sible locations in Wauseon were pre-
sented to the representatives who
were present and they were assured
Of the cooperation of the Club, in Sc
curing help in event of their locating
in this city.
A communication was read from F.
Fl. Wolf Chairman of the Fulton
County Chapter American Red Cross
suggesting that the contribution to the
Red Cross authorized by the Club be
increased from sos to $26 and the
money be expended in purchasing a
membership for each inmate of the
Infirmary and that the secretary be
authorized to go to the Infrmary and
get the memberships, distribute the
buttons and window cards. The club
adopted the suggestions and voted to
increase the amount to $4,000 and an
thOrize the secretary to 90 to the In
firmary and distribute the buttons to
the inmates. Following this action
Judge Wolf and the SECRETARY, F. f.
Kenyon went to the Infrmarv Tues
day afternoon distributed the buttons
and informed the twenty-six inmates
that they had been presented with
memberships by the Boosters Club.
Communication from a manufactur-
ing firm seeking a new location for
factory was referred to a committee
of three appointed by the president
for investigation and correspondence.
The present membership of the
Boosters Club is 80. Every man in
terested in the welfare and progress
of Wauseon should become a member
of this club. The membership dues
are one dollar per year and these times
demand that every man cooperate in
matters of public service.
The next regular meeting of the club
which would ordinarily be held next
Monday evening at 7:30 at the T. & |
Hall will on account of the Chautau-
qua be postponed, the special meeting
of last Monday evening taking its
place.

Another transgressor who is finding

Superior Iron & Manufacturing Com
pany plant, who some time since com
mitted forgery in order to obtain the
finance for a spree. The court was
disposed to give Myers every chance
to get back on the path of rectitude
and while retaining him in custody
permitted him to work at his trade
to make good the amount which he
had secured in an unlawful manner.

Things went we'll for a time until
Myers betrayed the confidence reposed

Myers turned up at the U. S. Male

termine his future for him.
These are only two Of the many
cases with which our Sheriff has tc

A REAL COMPLIMENT

The following extract from a letter
published in the Marshall County
Democrat" of Lacon, Illinois is a
simon pure compliment from a disin-
terested person who had no possible
reason for handing bouquets" to
Wauseon, because he had never known
the town, been acquainted with any
one who lived in the town or had ''in-
iuertial' friends or relatives who have
or do live here.
The manner Of our getting hold of
this bit of evidence in regard to what
the passing tourist thinks of us as a
town as he "zips" through is thusly:
Miss Florence Bennett has class
mate down at Oberlin College who
happens to live in Lacon, Illinois; this
young lady's father, like any other
self-r.specting American citizen,
takes the county paper and his daugh-
/ ter, who evidently is well trained
American daughter, finds time to look
over afOre said county paper. I'm
agine her surprise en- glancing ovel
the letter of a correspondent who has
been enjoying an auto tour from La
con to Detroit Michigan to run across
lilE udIlt OF bllG IOWIl VI w duSCtil
Ohio the residence of her friend anC
classmate Miss Bennett. What more
natural than that she should mark til,
paragraph and mail the paper to Mis-
| Bennett, and what more natural thar
that Miss Bennett, who is a true Wau
seon Girl and proud of her home town
should call the attention Of the TTi
; bune man to the article in question. W
. have been at pains to explain tn
, genealogy Of this compliment in or
I der that our readers might know tha
t we are not trying to play upon o
3 trihe with their sensitive natures an
e further more that we all may continu

= the compliment.

The opening day program was also
a huge success. The killarneys are

ideal one and if it is any criterion OF
the rest of the program, we feel sure
that this years Chautauqua will not
only live ur to but surp2ss cur eE-

Very few people in Wauseon unless

many times can adequately realize
just what councilman has to do and
how much he is up against, no matter
how careful he may be to use his very
BEST judgment in acting upon public
affairs he may be very sure that some
Cne will be ready with adverse criti-
cism in regard to his motives and
ability but its all in the days work

graft late themselves that +Fey have
had on the council generally men with
back bone enough to do their very best
and follow their own best judgment
regardless of criticism

ing sessions of the council; many
things to consider and adjust. The
more important items are as follows:
The ordinance to restrain dogs from
running at large on the streets Of

ell and under suspension of rules plac-
ed on third reading and passed.
Permit was granted to C. Hass to
scaffold over side walk on East Chest
nut street where he is building an au-
to sales room and garage and to use
ten feet Of the street in front of the
premises for the purpose of. unloading
building materials.
A new fire zone building ordinance
was presented by the city solicitor, j.
@. Files acting under previous instruc-
tions from the council after lengthy
discussion and consideration the mat
ter was laid aside for future consider
alton. Mr. S. Dunbar was present to
ask that sidewalk on the south side
East Elm street be constructed; this
matter was referred to the sidewalk
committee.
Mr. NJ J. Dangler asked the coun-
ell to order sidewalk on west side OF
Cedar street from present sidewalk to
Oak street constructed; this was re-
ferred to the street and side walk
committees. A letter was read from
the management of the New York
Central Lines, Railway, stating that g
suitable bell warning would be placed
at the Fulton street crossing of thai
railway which would give ample warn.
ing of approaching trains whenever
the gate keeper was not on duty.
The question of traffic signals OF
Fulton street was brought before the
council by the Marshal and after Ions
consideration the Mayor referred thi:
matter to the chairman of the stree
committee and Councilman Blake witt
L
at the next meeting of the council.
Messrs. Howard and Blake reported
sundry repairs needed on the roof o
the City Hall and the Mayor asked tn
Clerk to notify the township trustee
to meet in Joint session with the Coun
ell for consideration Of these repairs.
