A Bit of This and That
WATER A SHILLING A GLASS.

Says the Weekly Dispatch, London
Returning Londoners, settling down to a more
sober life than that enjoyed during the short leave
visits from the front, wondering whether the high
prices being charged in restaurants giving good
value the lower charged in cheaper days.
"a dead fly in the tea, margarine the minute
portion of toast chocolate eclair filed with custard
in place of cream, do not make the most inviting af
ternoon tea yet this refreshment served at of
the best known hotels in town. In addition must be
reckoned a tip of at least shilling to the imposing
person who brings it and a sixpenny for the man
who condescends to take charge of hat and stick box
of six cigarettes not very good cost rs (50) cents.
At another fashionable hotel lady, instead of
having wine like the rest of her party drank glass
of water For this shilling charged in the bill,
in spite of the fact that Is Sd (37 1-2 cents per head
had been entered on it for table money. we must
make profit the wne said the manager, in
anwer to protest. Unless people drink wine can
not carry business
"a further evil of these costly smart restaurants is
that the smaller places, seeing their high prices, put
up theirs to almost the figure although they have
not the excuse of providing lavish decorations, light
ing or entertainments"

'Let one man be the boss" Mr. Edison expanded upon
Mr. Fords suggestion. "He would be responsible He
could have board of directors to cover the legal
requirements" Both advocated the removal of the
roads from bureaucratic" control
"The worlds gone crazy for SPELL" declared Mr..
Edison, commenting industrial unrest "Of course,
that's sarcasm" he aughingy explained, "but first we
had the war; the Spanish influenza, and now the world
is passing through 'benzol vapor.' I hope when we
get through this there won't be any more for long
time"
Both Mr. Ford and Mr. Edison talked freely of
conditions Speaking of the present state of telephone
and telegraph systems in the United States Mr. Edison
laughingly commented, "benzo vapor again Every
things topsy-turvy just now, but We'll come out all
right He chuckled at the suggestion of representa-
tive of the Hartford Courant that benzol vapor might
be synonymous with a certain cabinet member whose

"benzol"
The men talked as they ate in Hartford hotel
and their meal wasn't one to detract much attention
from their interview. Mr. Ford had clam BROTH spin

GomPERS ON THE JOB.

Give the president chance to bring down
prices" is the advice out yesterday to the rail
way shopmen of America by the committee of 100
by them to Washington to present their demands
for big increase in wages, which President Wilson,
as head of the railways under government CONTROL
said he could not grant at this time while attempting
to reduce the cost of living.
And it is sane advice. Give the president a
chance" Who wouldn't when he is now engaged
with all the forces of the government at his command
in trying to accomplish that which all of us deeply
wish-and need?
But it President Wilson's persuasive appeal
that brought about this advice to the railway men?
No doubt that had something to do with it. But
there was something else, this time, and that some
thing else Samuel Gompers. The aged, but vir-
lie, head of the American Federation of Labor reach
ed home from Europe only few days ago. He was
called back from important mission to help steer
the craft of labor which, its friends saw was drift
ing into dangerous itself and the country
And almost with his first act since returning we see
evidence of that craft being rghted by Mr. Comp
ers.
Here is an extract from the letter which was sent
to the shopmen:
IF the federated shop trades strike now they
carry the full burden of securing the same general in
for the IS per cent of the railroad employees
who have not yet decided what action they propose
to take. We do not believe that we should allow our
selves to be placed in that position. In our opinion
the next ninety days will bring the entire situation
to head, and if strike is to take place every class
of railroad employees should be willing to join in the
movement share their full measure of responsibility
and not leave the issue to be decided by the % per
cent of che railroad employees represented by the fed
Grated trades. .rsv e..4-,
at is our honest judgment that fatal mistake
would be made by our members to assume the re-
sponsibty of tying up the railroads at this time when
the president is evidently doing all possible to reduce
the high cost of living 1t is but fair to assume that
the president will have the loyal support of majority
of the American public in his effort to secure this
much needed relief We would, no doubt, be charged
with obstructing his efforts.
at should be understood however, that if the
government fails to effect substantial reduction in the
cost of living wit hin reasonable time we reserve the
right to put the strike vote into effect"
Gompers proved his right to the leadership by the
Part he played in supporting the president in the great
war; and apparently he is proving it again in his sup
port of the presidents efforts at sane reconstruction
Give the president chance" Won't the railway men
occupy far different place in the hearts and minds
of the public in their next step the president fails in
his program than if they had taken the bit in their
teeth and attempted to carry through their de-
mands?
Gompers is wise He knows that what is
not best for the remainder of the country as whole
is not best for labor
