explosion Of Wednesday morning.
A public service company like ths
gas company naturally receices com
plants from It's customers, and often
in other cities the complaints mount
up into the hundreds and thousands.
Wilmington has been particularly for
tunale in having such a progressive
interest as G.. II. Gest and his fellow
nnanciers backing up the Wilmington
Gas Company, and the result has been
that for many a year we have had un-
interrupted service
II S. Schutt. general manager OF the
local company. who is also closely as
sociatcd with Mr.. Gelst I'm the manage
ment Of the other gas properties under
the Geist control. is a Wilmingtonian
who has made many friends among
all the classes OF the population. He
has always taken a keen Interest in
the problems Of the business. and
among The employees he is looked upon
as a genuine wizard who stands for
efllcieny, but who Is not afraid TO pay
q fair wage TO those in his employ.
The Labor Herald cannot understand
how the terrible explosion occurred.
It could not have been the work Of any
Of the employees, we well know, be-
cause there is q nne spirit OF cooper
alton existing between the company
and ils entire working force.
Irrespective Of what may have hap
pened i'm The years gone by, n must
be admitted by the people OF Whining
/ ton that the Wilmington Gas Company,
since lt has been o part Of tho C. H..
Goist interests, has been conducted efi-
cienily. The service rendered has been
Of such a quality that the complaints
have been few and FAR between.
Therefore. the people OF Wilmington
and Of the surrounding territory sery-
cd by the company, must certainly feel
sympathetic and are glad that The for
mer full efficiency has been reached

III All DEPENDS.

From the Dover State Sentinel
The conference held In Dover last
Friday on the farm labor situation, may
mean much or It may mean little for
farmers. It all depends upon what Is
done from now on In the first place
the men who look after getting the
labor modified, must use some judg-
ment and not try to send to the farm
those who will not work nor those who
are absolutely green as farm labo ers
and in the second place the farmers
must be willing and ready TO accept
the labor when it can be had, even If
not at the exact time that it is most
needed and then they must be willing
to put up with a good deal OF awk-
wardness, freshness, lack OF sklll, ana
sOftness Of the men and boys who are
offered them In particular, they should
take men II offered, when work can be
done but Is not pressing to be done
Being fOrehanded Is a good thing any
way, and delay in getting work done is
infinitely worse than getting it done O
little In advance OF the proper time
Men who have worked In stores and
shops for some time must take work
easy when they frSi go TO the fields
and Il is astonishing how quickly men
lose their skill and agility in any sort
