Director OF Public Safety Myers has

nication addressed TO him by the local
union of the International Fire
Fighters Association. which was
formed here several days ago.
The letter the contents OF which

under Director Myers administration.
whereby any messages to the director
must come through Fire Chief Joyncr.

''Do you live in the water?" asked
Chief Porlrv. He could not under
stand how the door of Mr.. Musk
Rats house was under water and
yet he lived on dry land.
II live where it is just as dry as it
is right here" said he. "I only have
the door of my house under the wa
ter so that no one will find my house
and kill me. You know the hunter
likes to catch me out on the dry land
because he knows I cannot run very
fast. If he caught me, he would sell
my fur for some lady's muff. They
say such fur as mine is very expen-
sive"
''Now, Mr.. Muskrat will give you
little demonstration of how he gets
into his house," said Tinker Bob as
he walked toward the river.
All gathered close to the river
bank to watch Mr.. Musk Rat enter
the water. He entered the water
very quietly and was soon out of
sight. A moment or two passed and
he did not return.
"I'll bet he tried to play smart and
was drowned" said O'Possum.
They were watching eagerly for
his return. And when they were
about to give up all hope, he came
up quietly from behind, and said:
Here I am.
This so startled the smaller of the
Fox children that he slipped off the
bank into the river. "Help! Helpp'
he cried. When Mr.. Musk Rat saw
what had happened he knew he had
been the cause; and at once he went
to the waters edge and plunged in
after the young Fox.
''Look there" said O'Posum. |
''Mr. Musk Rat will be a great fellow
if he can save that young Fox"
The little Fox was frightened and
he could not swim, but struggled hard,
and when Mr.. Musk Rat reached his
side he was nearly exhausted. He
was pulled safely 10 shore. however,
and there was great rejoicing among
the forest dweliers.
"Long live Mr. Musk Rat" they
cried. "He shalt ever be remembered
by the dwellers of the Great For

MEAT CUTTERS
 CONTINUE STRIKE
Two Meetings Daily in New Ha-
 ven-Packing Plant Using Office Help.

One of the large halls of the New Haven Trades Council is filled twice daily with meetings of the Local Union of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Worknen of North America who are on strike. At one of the meetings, an address was delivered by a members of the Cigarnakers' Union and to drive home some of the points he made in his speech he distributed a package of union made smoking tobacco to each man in the hall.
 It was announced that few small independent places, not large enough to be called packing houses, had made terms with the members of the union and the men had returned to work. Carl Ramstedt, business agent of the New Haven Local, said that the union was daily gaining in membership and there were no backsliders. According to MT. Ramstedt, the Sperry & Barnes plant, where nearly all the strikers were em- ployed, is using members of the office help to string frankfurts and do other light work and there are few colored men employed there. He said he was confident that not over 25 people were employed at the plant at present.
 Reports received from other cities where the meat cutters are on strike, notably in Bridgeport, showed that the unions were holding firm and the men were determined to stay out until they had won what they had gone on strike for 7-..-..
