MUST CHOP
FIRE DEPT,

If any action Is taken to in
crease salaries of city firemen, as
a result of the demand made upon
Commissioner Petit this week,
similar increases will have to be
made in the police department, the
commissioner announced Satur-
day.
Tacoma policemen, altho they
have made no formal demand for
increased salaries, have intimated
to the commissioner that they
would all quit their jobs If the
firemen were raised and they were
not.
ut would not be at all fair to
increase the salaries in one de-
partment, and not the other said
Petit.
All of the additional firemen
and policemen provided for 1918,
and added to the departments
January 1 will have to be dis
charged. in order to permit the
city to grant the salary increases,
Petit says. There Is no available
money in the city treasury to meet
the enlarged payrolls.
The city council allowed "a new
men in each department January
1. The increase was made be-
cause of the two-platoon system
in the fire department.
Since the firemen have threat
ened to quit March l IL the raise Is
not granted, and the city cannot
find men to fill vacancies already
existing in either the police or
fire departments because of the
low wages, Petit says there is no
solution to the problem other than
to cut down the personnel and
grant the demands.

"But what about their religious
nfe?" Major Guthrie was asked.
"They believe in a mystical re-
ligion," he replied. They do not
want much advice as to what they
should do. They say they know
what to do-what they want is to
get some power so that they can
do it. They do not like the
preacher who is all the time tell
ing them to keep away from bad
habits and bad surroundings.
They know all this.
Neither do they care to sing
Onward Christian Soldiers nor
THE Son OF God Goes Forth to
War; They are sick of singing
about war-altho they are eager
to fight. They much prefer devo-
tional music.
Nor do they want to listen to
sermons about war. They want
addresses which will lift them out
OF their surroundings and bring
them closer to God.
