Il Didn't Seem TO Fit.

Here is story that told by Representative Fred
ericlc W. Dallinger of Massachusetts, illustra-
ton that initials abbreviated words, etc, are some
times very perplexing when seen in print:
One evening some time ago small party named
Jimmy was looking over a newspaper when he sud-
denly turned to his mother with puzzled expression:
Mamma" said he, what does ID. D. stand for? p
at stands for Doctor of Divinity, Jimmy, an
swered the fond parent 81 thought you learned that
at school,"
"Yes" returned Jimmy still considerably puzzled,
'but it don't seem to sound right in this newspaper
"You have probably made some mistake" said
mamma. "Read the paragraph to me-"

defendant declared that he would make him step

THE LAST OF THE CUT-OUTS.

Muffler cut-out will not be foun-1
in the cars of the future. The
members of the National Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce voted
unanimously for their elimination.
The reasons given for the action
are:
with more than 1900, 900 cars in
use and supplying a great service
in the transportation of the indi-
vidual and of materials, the use of
the muffler cut-out is unfair to the
public and ads an unnecessary noise
to American life. Cars have ample
power so that the slight increase
in speed which may come from the
use of cut-outs is of no Importance.
There may be times in adjusting
motors where a cut-out is useful.
but In such case 1t can be operated
from under the car."-MilestonsA

moved from where he had TO take the
train when the roads were under pri-
vate operation.
The part of the country that heard
this, and pondered it over, at once
felt that this stop was due to politi-
cal prestige-the first time II had had
: a chance to be exerted on this road
and Immediately a cry went up that
government ownership would be seri-
Gus indeed II this thing was to be
allowed to grow and to continue
through all the branches OF such own
ership.
Indeed, there is something to think
about here.
II the roads are to be put under civil
service there will be the weak points
of the civil service to battle against
constantly, throughout the period OF
operation. Then there will be the ad-
ditional weakness-as the heads OF
the railroad system will he subject TO
political domination-as the heads OF
other departments are where civil
service is in force-and that this will
work a great disadvantage to the pub
lie.
On the other hand, IL some merit
system is to be worked out and a
private board is to be allowed to
choose the railroad employees, but
make them responsible to Uncle Sam,
there will be the danger that cor
ruption may work into this activity
from numerous angles. This would
be disastrous. of course, and might
grow to such a degree that the very
lives of the travelling public would
be endangered.
There is much thought that the
members of Congress must take be-
fore they acquiesce in any plan of
government ownership. The biggest
government ownership system we
have at the present time is a rank
failure-and getting worse every day.
1t is bad enough to have the POST
office Department turning out wrong.
We do not care to add to the list
of government fiascos the transpor-
tation system of the country. OF
course, in the case Of the postofiice
the blame is laid at the door of the
individual, but 1t is a weak system
that can respond to the whims of a
single individual. If we cannot op-
crate a system that will be respon-
sive to the best interests of the en-
tire people, and free from one-cyl-
inder tinkering. then we'd better let
private ownership continue. This is
one of the views that will be ex-
pressed in Congress before the rail-
road matter is finally settled.
incidentally, the public must not
think that tine passage Of the pend
ing railroad legislation recommend
ed by the President settles the mat
ter. There are many wrinkles yet
to be smoothed out by Congress, and
there is the possibility that the prob
lem will not be entirely solved until
after the war is over.
Just now 1t appears as though Con-
gress would give plenty of time to
the matter. That is what is needed,
for during the next few months we
are going to see developments which
may change our entire course Of ac-
ton.
The big business is whipping the
Kaiser just now. The final solution
of the railroad problem can wait
until that Is done.

Musicians

Union musicians of the United
States are playing in their highest
key for the war aims of the country.
According to Owen Miller, national
secretary of the American Federation
of Musicians, they are anxious to do
still more if they can than they have
done in the past.
In the recent Liberty loan drive the
musicians have subscribed for approx
imately S2,500,000 worth of the re-
nowned bonds. In the second drive
they loyalty dug into their national
and private money chests for nearly
$4,000, 900 and in the first loan cam
paign they bought an amount closely
approaching the last two endeavors.
In the second loan drive the inter
national organization subscribed for
$55,0O0 worth of bonds and would
have taken $4,000 in subscriptions
but $4,000 was tied up in manner
that made the proposition unmanage-
able.
Many of the affiliated musicians
unions, despite the fact that their
treasures were somewhat weakened
for local reasons, nevertheless went
the limit to stimulate success for
Uncle Sans war bond fotations.
And from one end of the nation to
the other, wherever men have formed
in the parade line to enthuse the citi-
zens to the big issues before the ma
tion the union musicians have given
of their best in music, service and in
money.
If some person fully qualified to
write the history of the part union
musicians have played in the greatest
tragedy in history it would indeed be
a glorious treat in reading.
The $4,000 members of the Ameri-
can Federation of Musicians can well
be proud of the work well done they
have accomplished for the United
States of America in its hours of deep
est stress. The nation, too, is proud
of the noble band.

Electrical Workers

Wages have been increased to 80
cents an hour by Electrical Workers
Union No. 85 of Joplin, Mo.
A government umpire has ruled
that contractors shall increase wages
$1.15 a day for members of Electrical
Workers Union No. 14l, Wheeling, w.
Va. The umpire showed that this rul-
ing is not excessive, as the plumbers
have raised wages 81 day, the brick
layers 81 and the structural iron
workers have increased rates 81 a
day over last years scale.
After negotiating a wage increase
since last January the Puget Sound
Traction, Light and Power Company
Seattle, Wash, has raised rates of its
outside electrical workers so cents a

Cigarnakers
BY J. w. SANFORD.

Our Tuesday evening meeting was
called to order by President A. Peter
son at o'clock after Mrs. Frinke and
Mrs. Potts had solicited our members
on rattle for handsome broom, SELL
ing quite a number of tickets. J. c.
Bulger and William Cammerer were
given the floor in the interest of the
Red Cross campaign that starts next
week. Mrs. Cunningham and Mrs.
Barger from the Ladies' Auxiliary to
the Painters We're next admitted, their
mission being the promotion of a raf-
fle for a quilt in the interest of the
Red Cross campaign. A number of
tickets were also purchased for this
worthy cause.
George NJ. Edwards was selected to
represent US at the Labor Temple
meeting Sunday, the 10Th, on strength
of communication received from their
committee.
Fifty dollars was donated to the
striking cigarmakers of Tampa, where
several thousand are on strike. A
donation was also made to the Wash
ington, d. c., union which has eighty
eight members on strike against re-
duction of wages.
Our members extend congratula
tions to Earl R. Hoage on his recent

amining board. We know Earl will
make good.
We have a number of members on
the out of work list just now, due to
the recent closing of the Cuban Cigar
Company.
Many of our members have taken
up other occupations in the last couple
of weeks, but the most of them come
back in a day or so with blistered
hands and lame backs, convinced that
making cigars is a very easy occupa-
ton Some have landed Jobs out at
the recuperation camp and are stick
ing to it, feeling that they are under
the government protection and will
be better qualified for the trenches in
case their names are called later on.

LABOR WINS IN QUEENSLAND.

The labor party of Queensland,
Australia, has been returned to power,
after campaign that attracted the
attention of the entire commonwealth.
At the beginning of the war the labor
party controlled all of the Australian
states except Victoria. Since then
every state has been lost except
Queensland. An element in this sit
uation is the capitalization of the war
by anti-union employers. In the re-
cent election Queensland workers
broke all records, for never before has
an Australian government, after
serving three full years, been re-
turned with anything like the num-
bers that it previously held.
