HEAD OF ENGINEERS
SAYS GOMP[RS WRONG
Place In Business Life of Coun-
try for Intoxicants.

W S Stone. chief of the Brother
hood of Locomotives Engineers, takes
Mr. Gompers to task for his efforts
to line up organized labor for the
brewers Declaring that the use of
intoxicants has no pl>ce in the bust
ness life Of America. and certainly
none in the Brotherhood OF Iocomo-
tive Engineers, Mr. stone said a few
days ago that the brotherhood reso-
luton recently adopted III favor OF
nation wide prohibition. was the
unanimous affirmation of s5T dele
gates of the order.
For ffteen years the railroads of
the United States have had rule for
the discharge of any railroad emplove
who ever frequents "A saloon. For ten
years previous TO that. however. the
Brotherhood of Locomotive EnCir~
GERS had been fighting intemperance
and expeling its members for drin&-
ing Chief Stone declared
so stringent is that rule that to-
day, II a locomotive engineer has been
DISCHARGED for violating the rules of
his company In regard TO the use of
Intoxicating liquors. 1t is the impera-
tive duty of his division to investigate
the charges, and If he is found guilty,
the rule imperatively declares. he
shall be expelled Further than this.
the division failing to comply with
this rule, will have it's charter sus-
pended for a period of from three to
six months. It is true that Mr.. Com
pers, the other day n Washington.
declared that organized labor was
not In favor OF national prohibition
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers Is not included in that
declaration. We differ from Mr.. Com
pers on this proposition. The use of
Intoxicating liquors has no place in
the life of an American railroad man
to-day.
The Brotherhood has not only
taken this stand In favor OF prohibit
ton. but ii has already notified the
United States senators from Ohio and
the congressman from this section of
the state of its position In regard to
prohibition. and expressed the desire
that they do everything possible to
have prohibition enforced, at least
during the war, as a war measure to
conserve fuel and the TRANSPORTATION
needed for war munitions / do not
know whether you are aware OF the
fact. but the distilleries and breweries
of this country last year consumed
and yet the United States today is
confronted with the possibility OF
coal shortage next winter, while the
breweries are using up fuel and con-
Stunning grain that might be other

When we stop TO think about It. the
people Of Virginia should find but lit
lie glory in the fact that the school
teachers OF the state are receiving
only an average OF fifty dollars a
month. In many Of the rural dis
tr.cts, the salaries fall as low as $50
to $40 IA month.
Besides, these employees are afford
ed at the longest only nine months

requirements are go rigid that every
teacher must attend summer nor

WHEN YALE COLLEGE MOVED
Village Of Saybrook, Where It Was
First Located, Bitterly Fought for
a- Its Retention.

During our walk we came upon
bowlder In the middle Of field inlaid
with bronze plate which told us that
there was the original site of Yale col
lege. sSaybrook did not see the college
go to New Haven without a struggle,
and one of it's incidents Is piquant to
recall-the famous battle Of the col
lege books. In December, 171S, the
trustees, already migrated to New
Haven, desired to remove the college
library, which had been left behind
in Saybrook. But Saybrook refused
to give it up, and so stubbornly that
the governor and council had to come
down from Hartford and set the sher-
iff and his assistants to work. These,
however, found the house in which the
books were kept barred and guarded
by "resOlute men," and even after the
sheriff had broken In and placed a
guard over the books the bOOk-l0vers
of SaybrooR did not yet give in. On
the morrow 1t was found that the carts
that were to transport the books had
been disabled, and when others were
procured and start finally made, 1t
was found that even the bridges along
the road had been destroyed In ad-
vance Of them! When before or since
has village shown such furious pas
sion for learning Richard LIE Gal
lienne in Harper's Magazine.
