SOCIAL SERVICE UNION
MAKES ANOTHER APPEAL

The request made last week for
funds for the Social Service Union
of the city, while netting few do
lars. did not bring the response
which was hoped for and expected
The urgent need of funds at this
time is undeniable. Some of the
work being done now demands
money: and even though there were
no immediate call for money, the re
cessity for having a reserve balance
in the treasury is self-evident Mr.
Trout therefore makes another ap-
peal for funds. ALL contribution
should be sent to him at the PEG
pies Trust Company.

Coney Island

AS the glorious hundred-day sea-
son of Coney Island wears, on the
famous summer resort becomes more
and more the happyland for thous-
ands of joyseeking citizens and "citi-
SENSES" and little citizens of Gin
cinnati and the surrounding country
The season, as it approaches its for
tieth day, with sixty more to come,
is a record breaker for crowds and this
surely proves the magnificent play
place as the leader of all amusement
parks.
Under summer skies the great white
Coney ships, the Island Queen and
Morning Star voyage their very
trips to Coney carrying alike the dam
GERS and the folks who love to lounge
on the decks and view the wonderful
panorama of beauty afforded by the
Ohio and Kentucky shores. At night,
like palaces of light, the river ships
steam their courses to and from
Broadway There is no charge for
dancing on the boats nor in the mag
nifcent tree fringed dansant of the
Coney Clubhouse nor on the spacious
dansant pavilion that fronts the Con-
ey Midway. AS Comodore Charles c.
Brooks, head of the Coney Island
Company, told visiting New York
Friend:
"We would just as soon charge our
patrons for inhaling the pure air OF
viewing the shore scenery or walking
under the Coney trees as we woulc
for dancing. Dancing is as natura
an accomplishment as breathing ol
walking and should be free and is
free on anything belonging to Cone!
Island.

SETTLED BY MEDIATION.

Fort Wayne, Ind.-The building
contractors violated an agreement
they had with Structural Workers un-
ion by giving their work to laborers.
When the protests of the iron workers
were ignored, they ceased work. The
other building trades unions support
ed the contention of the iron workers
and urged settlement of the trouble.
In reply to that demand, the contract
ors locked out the other crafts. A
government mediator was sent for,
and, after hearing both sides, decided
in favor Of the iron workers, and or
dered all men back to work. An
agreement was then reached whereby
all disputes will be arbitrated during
the war.

NATIONAL

Never were conditions so favorable
for the organization of the men and
women who toll as they are at the
present time Many of the workers
in the city who are not members of
some union, seeing the benefits that
union men and women are deriving,
are just aching to get into one of our
locals. The success of an organiza-
tion is practically assured The en-
ployers are in a position where they
are almost forced to listen to reason
able requests of their employees. There
is no large army of unemployed to
use as a weapon to defeat honest de-
mands. 1t is no longer advisable to
discharge employees because they join
some labor union or urge others to do
so. Unionism means higher wages,
shorter hours and better working con-
ditions. 1t means collective bargain
ing instead of dealing single-handed
with powerful employers.
If you are not member of union
get in where you belong. If you are
a member, get busy and get the other
fellow in.

RAIL TRAFFIC
BREAKS RECORD
335,000 Passengers Enter,
256,555 Leave City in
Eight Days.

Hundreds of travellers entered,
departed from and passed through
the Washington Union Station during
the eight days just before Christmas
this year than ever before in a like
period of time in the history of the
city, according to the figures kept by
the United States Railroad Admins
tration.
A total of 256555 persons arrived at
the station and $4,000 departed, be-
sides 223.6 persons who passed
through the station en- route for other
destinations. The number stopping of
in Washington for the holidays was
80. .924 and the net exodus from Wash
ingtOn proper was 7S.4i5, many OF
whom were war workers who will
probably not return.
Baggage Increase Fifty Per Cent.
The III, 1859 tickets sold in Washing
ton during this period have brought in
A revenue of s7Sl, ,99S23. The number
Of pieces Of baggage handled was Co.
O3O and the number of parcels handled
in the parcel room 27.7SO, an increase
of 50 per cent over a year ago.
One-thIrd more meals were served in
the restaurants than during the same
period last year.
Owing to careful preparation prac-
tically everyone who applied for sleep
ing car accommodations was accom-
modated. Extra baggage transfer
forces were provided and Christmas
day there was no delayed baggage
left over in the station, as has gen.
orally been the case.
The smoothness with which the bus
mess was conducted this year, ac-
cording to the railroad administra-
ton, is attributed to the fact that ii
was all directed by one authority
which co-ordinated the work of all
the departments of all the roads. Com
plete information as to all routes was
at one office and there was
no confusion, as is generally the case
where a large number OF roads and
officials are working independently OF
each other. considering the needs OF
their own traffic rather than that OF
the entire volume of travel

EMPLOYEES PAY
PLEA IGNORED
Those in Federal Service
Get Same Salaries AS
Year Ago.

Ignoring the plea of the National
Federation OF Federal Employees. the
subcommittee of the House Appro-
priations Committee has decided to
report in favor Of $12O increase over
basic pay for government employees
instead of the $3.50 increase asked for
by the federation.
This is the same increase allowed
last year. and will apply to the fiscal
year beginning July l. 1919. The House
Appropriations Committee will. it is
expected. approve the report of the
subcommittee, and when this is done
little or no trouble is expected in
getting the Senate and House to adopt
it. even though the federation con-
tinues to press its demands for the
1850 increase.
However. the subcommittee headed
by Representative Byrnes. of Tennes-
see, will make a recommendation to
the Appropriations Committee that a
commission be appointed to study the
subject of the pay of government en-
plOyes. The subcommittee, it was
stated. will look for a broad and sys-
tematic readiustment OF salaries by
the commission.

Cross headquarters yesterday to the
954 chapters of the organization and
as a result thousands of women who
have turned out millions of sweaters
socks, mufflers, helmets and wristlets
for our soldiers and sailors will stack
their needles An inventory of the
stocks OF knitted articles in reserve
at Red Cross division and camp ware
houses shows there is a sufficient
quantity on hande to meet the needs
of Americas lighting men in this
country and Europe and those of the
Red Cross commissions engaged In
civilian relief work abroad. Hence
the order of the patriotic women OF
America to discontinue their knitting
activities.
Knitted articles now in process of
construction are to be completed as
rapidly as possible and turned in to
the chapters. which have been in
structed to issue no more yarn to
workers. The wooden garments pro-
vided by the tiTeleSs fingers of Amer
ica's women added materially to the
comfort of the COuntry's defenders,
especially during the period follow
ing the mobilization of our fighting
forces. Practically every man that
went overseas, as well as those who
remained in the Country's training
camps. was supplied with these COM
forts. More than 100000 knitted ar
tiCles were turned out by Red Cross
workers in the seventeen months pre-
ceding the signing of the armistice.
