Mr.. BROWNLOW PLEASED
BY POLICE PAY SITUATION

Commissioner Brownlow has issued
statement expressing gratifica-
tion over the fact that the House
District committee saw fit to recon-
mend larger increases in pay for the
police than the Commissioners asked
for.
The Commissioner also expressed
hope that the action of the police
mems union last night in withdraw
ing from the American Federation Of
Labor will end discussion of that
question. The statement follows:
'sThe action of the House committee
in reporting the increase of salaries
bill for the police department is most
gratifying.
when I first appeared before the
committee with respect to the mat
ter / made 1T very clear that the
salaries suggested by the Commits
oioners represented the minimum
amounts necessary to maintain the
force, but that / hoped the COM
mtttee would give even more. That
the members of the committee should
see Mt to increase the salaries of the
prfvates above the amounts named in
the formal recommendations of the
Commissioners is most fortunate.
'Tne voluntary REIMBURSEMENT of
the affiliation of the Policemen's
Union with the American Federation
OF Labor ought to end all discussion
on that point. The complete and
absolute independence of the police
department must and will be pre-
served"

The Sure Cure

Some grand old truths are
everlasting; one is that industry
is good; amid the yawping and
dodgasting, remember that, and
saw your wood. Too many
takers spring their wheezes,
TOO many make the welkin ring
and as a cure for our diseases
work is the. sane and proper
thiag. Too many orators are
climbing on stumps and kegs to
show their curves; and even as
I do this rhyming a braying
windsmith jars my nerves. The
puzzling knots we will unravel,
and get things going right once
more, when we quit paving up
the gravel and get down to the
useful chores. There's nothing
like some honest sweating to
drive the fantods from our
brains, and help us to the
prompt forgetting of all our
penalties and pains. When | am
idle I start brooding, and en-
tertain the saddest views, and l
have nightmares, vain, deluding,
and l see snakes and kangaroos.
But I am cheerful when I'm
busy, l sing sweet songs in
dulcet tones; the Russian stuff
seems punk and dizzy to one
who's earning honest bones.
And when we all get. down to
toiling said Russian stuff will
see a slump; and fervid Ian
guage will be spelling, with
other rubbish, at the dump.
