know III general way the difficulties which
their employer has to meet they are less apt
to strike than when they must deal only
with foreman who follows rules laid down
by someone that perhaps neither he nor his
men have ever seen.
The employer who does his best bv his
men, who takes an interest in their welfare
and knows OF their troubles and sympatl-
izes with them, who comes in personal con-
tact with them can iron out troubles when
a foreman has to wait to carry the matter
bcfOI a superintendent, who takes it up
with the general manager, who refers it t.
the president who ponders over it with the
board of directors. This long string of red
tape takes time to unravcl, and i'm that time
a trivial thing has ilritatcd the workers I'M

results
What we will have to do in America is
to hlmanizc business Directors of cor
pOrations will have to be directors. They
will be called upon to know the conditions
under which their employees serve They
will have to know more about the forcmcn
they place in charge. They will have some
thing else to do than to meet scmi-annually
to declare dividends.
That is the trouble with our big cor
porations. They are too far removed from
the men who work. Men are made dir
ectors because of their financial ability
rather than their ability as managers of
men. Either our corporations will have to
be smaller or the men who direct them will
have to be bigger, Broader men. This last
is the best solution for the labor problem.

cHAUTAUQUA WORTHY OF
SUPPORT.

Not long ago Ontario business men
freely subscribed $400 for horse race. No
one objected. The purpose was fulfilled by
making better just one number on an after
moons program at the Fair,
This $40O was secured by committee
of two hustlng business men in less than
three homs-twO to be exact.
Next week Ontario will have a Chau-
tauqua program, 1t likewise will cost $400,
and for that sum five complete programs,
each of two hours or more duration, filled
with good music OF high class lectures, in
spiration and informative will be given.
The $400 derby lasted less than two
The Chautauqua program will
last ten hours, The price to the public will
be the same.
The Chautauqua was guaranteed by
of the Commercial Club, the
Public School faculty and number of pat
rotic citizens who want to encourage educa-
tional entertainment for this city.
Is it unreasonable to ask for the same
amount of support for such a weeks pro
gram as to ask for contributions to one
event of one program at the Fair that lasts
but a moment or two!

ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT.

With the advent of paved streets and
the general improvement in the appearance
of the city of Ontario people will generally
concedc that Ontario is fast approaching
that pleasing designation, City, in fact as
well as in name.
In cities there are certain things eX-
pccted that are not fond i'm rural towns.
II is these things that diffcrcntate a town
from n city. Among these is the free de-
livery of mail to the residents.
Ontario has, by reason of the growth of
the post office business been entitled to free
delivery for several years but the matter
has not been urged by any one in particular
since it was, during the war not patriotic to
create new jobs. This however is no long
cr true and Ontario folks are entitled to all
the benefits that go with residence in this
city.
1t is true that Ontario would have had
this service three years ago had the side
walk system of this city been adequate to
the standard set by the postal department
Conditions are slightly better today. There
are stretches along some of the streets, foI
blocks, where there are no sidewalks, or
what is worse sidewalks that are n snare
and dclusion, an actual menace to the safety
of anyone who would attempt to use them
During recent months several blocks
have been improved by having permanent
walks laid upon them, but the worst
remain untouched The City
Council has taken note of this condition but
has not yet gone far enough to merit further
action ON the part of the postal authorities.
There is still time this fall to get this con-
lition changed and start the necessary pre-
,ecdings to have Ontario take the step from
a rural community to a city with city mail
service.

GOING TOO FAR

There is a difference between the or
dinary strike for higher wages and better
working conditions than that which is now
paralyzing the steel industry and which is
threatened by the members of the United
Mine Workers of America.
According to testimony produced be-
fore the Senate investigating committee
William u. Foster, leader of the striking
steel workers is II syndicalst-a near anal-
chist Such a man is not an American and
that he should be placed in so important Il
position by the steel workers shows the
character of the movemcnt-for the rank
and file of labor unions delegate the most
momcntcous decisions to their leaders.
In the ease of the Mine Workers there
is an absolute violation of their contract
with the operators. These contracts run
for two years, the country over, and end on
April !. How can working men expect the
public to have faith in their statements of
working conditions, no matter what they
are, when they do not keep their own plight
cd wordl
These strikes however arc doing one
thing. They are showing the average citi-
zen, the average business man that it is time
that he awakcs to the situation and takes an
active interest i'm what is going on in labor
circlcs-and that means in politics The
average politician is afraid of labor unions.
lie covers before their dire threats, for
labor is organized and the average man be-
longs to no organization.
There is evidence growing daily that the
public is losing faith in the protcstations of
labor leaders. 1t is getting tired of threats
against the life and prosperity of this nation
-men who heretofore have taken slight I'M
terest i'm these matters are talking about n

comes there is no doubt of the outcome.
If the railroad men would starvc the II

LABOR,S UNREST

No doubt there are two sides to the
labor controversy, but there is no denying
that there is not, and should not be two
masters in America. We can not have
government by the elected representatives
of the people and government by ultmatm
from labor leaders
The general unrest in labor is due
largely To mmsconccptiOn and to the de-
ception SO generally practiccl by American
business men, especially those who make
ostcntatious displays of wealth,
Most business men, and labOring men,
too for that matter are prone to make Il
show of what wealth they have 1t plcases
their vanity to be deemed successful men,
And this is often true of men who are barely
getting by, before whom mt times failure
looms large They keep up their show. They
drive their high powered ears and their
wives dress and entertain laviShly. These
are the evidences that the working man sees.
He does not see the worries of the employer.
He does not know that often this show of
wealth is false display He thinks his
employer rich, prosperous, happy when the
opposite is often the ease.
But the greatest source of labor troubles
may be traced to absentee ownership and
management of plants and mines
by foremen who lack authority to settle diff
ficulties Men are human. They do not
like to be deemed mere machines and deal
with impersonal authority.
When workmen are generally familiar
with conditions under which they work and

adopts Six Orphans,
Regrets He Has No More

Providence, R. L, July 19.-The ap-
peal Of Col H Anthony Dyer: who
viii adopt an orphan?" has been
answered by Leo F Myers, well
known in sporting circles, who has
adopted six orphans. They are being
tenderly cared for by Mrs Myers. who
told Col Dyer she wished her house
was large enough to accommodate
more Col Dyer's appeal was ans
wered by number OF wealthy east
side residents, who are said to have
made arrangements to care for one or
more orphans in one Of the many in
stitutions.
Z wish there were more men and
women like Leo Myers and his wife
and we would be assured of good
homes for a number of unfortunate
children who badly need homes" said
Col. Dyer.
The adoption Of six children by
Myers viii result in other prosperous
men taking children TO their homes,
in the opinion of social workers.
Tt keeps me busy buying for the
children, but I enjoy it." is Myers

OF prominence in Philadelphia before
coming to this city several years ago.
