LABOR men CALL
MASS MEETING
IN COYLE CASE
City Administration Scored by
Central Council at Public
Meeting.

A mass meeting has been called by
Central Labor Council for Monday
night, Sept. 20. probably in the high
school, to discuss the dismissal Of
John Coyle, captain Of fire company
No. 8. This action followed a public
meeting held Thursday night.
The mayor and the city admintstra-
ton were scored. Impeachment was
suggested by speakers, but no action
was taken.
Lucius Harrison, recording secre-
tary of Central Labor Council, said:
This is test case. If this keeps
up there will not be a union fireman
on the force within a year. OF course
they cannot fire them all outright,
but by a process of wedding them out
they will not have union member

IF the unions in this city let this
problem pass up the charters given
to them, will not be worth the paper
they are written on. Now is the time
for organized labor to show its
strength

thousand Of these notices will be dis

the presence of "all the taxpayers and
citizens who believe in justice and
liberty"
Another committee, composed OF
twelve members, was appointed
whose duty It will be to call on all
the merchants in the city, and deter
mine what their stand is on the ques
ton, and also to extend to them g
personal invitation to attend.
Harrison scored the action of the
board Of works and the city mayor ir

were "usurping power, because accord

said, when election time come:
around again we should vote for the
man, irrespective of party. 1t Is time
that the union men and the other goot

Harrison also said the mayor

Sergeant Told Prince
Where to Get Of
(Christian Science Monitor)


A story is told of the Prince of Wales
illustrative of the kind of thing which
made him popular with all ranks Of
the British Army in France. He hap
pend one day, when staff-captain, to
wander into a Canadian battery posi-
ton, and was not recognized by the
gunners.
The number and the shrewdness of
the questions which the unknown
young officer put to them made the
men suspicious. At last a sergeant
stepped up to him and told him quite
plainly that he was unknown to them,
that their regulations did not allow
them to impart the information for
which he asked, but that doubtless he
would get his questions answered if
he applied to the battery's officers.
The Prince did as he was bid and
walking up to a group of officers lit

sergeant's rebuff. He was much

each, this makes 100000 men and
