NEWS OF ENSLEY

Rev. c.. B. Tomb, who has recently
been installed pastor of the First Pres
byterian church, is one of Ensley's young
est ministers but his work has already
won for him a distinctive place in this
district. His latest undertaking is the
establishment of downtown office and
clubroom for the young people of the
church, which will be opened shortly.
Mr.. Tomb used for his topic yesterday
morning: Not an AK nor Hammer was
Heard" using l Kings verse, as his text
There was neither hammer nor ak, nor
any tool heard in the house while it was
in the building" In part he said: This
house built in mysterious silence was the
first temple at Jerusalem. OF all earthly
objects, this to the Jew was the most
sacred and dear. The Jew who loved
his God, to him this was the sweetest
scene.
For complete picture of Gods Won
derful lesson presented in the building
of that temple let us note several things
of Importance. Not an AK was heard.
There was lack of noise and unsatisfac-
tory discord and the churches of today
might easily draw lesson from tins
builders of King Solomons temple. In
structive workers, who carelessly ana
unintentionally become destructive work
ers Instead of performing that peculiar
task assigned to you, frequently you
become vexed and even overzealous and
discord will soon prevail in your heart
while the secret of that wonderful tenn
pie was the fact that the builders each
worked in unity to accomplish that d.
vine plan.
God works quietly with the individual
soul; in a still. small voice he is plead
ing to the individual to serve Him. The
world must be won to Him, not by leaps
and bounds, but by gentleness and unity
of purpose.
THE voiceless testimony of the church
is irresistably effective today. No great
thing has been accomplished without her
influence. The temple is type of true
Christian character. Christianity today,
is a living, breathing, growing influence
and a true Christian today is the man
who does his work carefully, nolselessly,
not waiting for the praise of the world

Plan of Owners to
End HarbOr Strike
Workmen Invited to Conference
Stampeded and Longshoremen
Strike Threatened if Effort
Is Repeated

New York, March 16.-Efforts of PR
vste boat owners to break the harbor
strike here by individual settlements
with the men were blocked today when
Thomas L. Delahunty, president of tho
Marine Workers affiliation and other
leaders "stampeded" conference Of
the owners with members OF the Mas
tiers, Mates and Pilots union.
Invitations had been extended to the
navigators yesterday to attend the con-
ference, but when representatives of
the boat owners appeared at the meet
ing place. they found DeIahunty AMI
the other leaders in the midst of men
who had accepted the invitations.
The stampede" continued until the
owners. representatives left the hall
Before departing. Delahunty told the
owners their methods were unfair"
and warned them that If any further
attempts were made toward individual
settlements the $4,000 members of the

would be called out on sympathetic
strikes.
Strike leaders said they had received

any heretofore asked for even in war
days.
That means that the ADLER railroad
executives, the men who are familiar
with conditions throughout the country,
are confident that as.soon as readjust-
ment is completed and as soon a rail-
road improvements are perfected a vol
ume of bushes in the United States
heretofore. unimagined, will reflect I'M
para1leled prosperity. Mr.. Elliott and
others look upon the labor question as
perhaps the most serious, but they are
confident that this will be satisfactorily
answered. ...1.
Mr.. Elliott said in private converse
ton day or two before he went to
Chicago that tn epeople must have the
railroads as highly equipped, as well
improved, as greatly expanded as pos
sible. Therefore it is to the advantage
of tn epeople that there be no, hitch in
the arrangements made by the govern
ment with the railroads for advances or
payment on account of the expenses.
THE LITTLE ROADS
Mr.. Elliott is of the opinion that
while the proposed regional system is
not the best, nevertheless it may be
found imperative that the larger rail-
road systems take over or absorb some
of the little ones. That is the view
taken by Senator Cummings of Iowa
who is recognized as one~of the best in
formed among the member of Congress
respecting the railroad situation and
the railroad problems.
A few weeks ago the suggestion was
made by one of the government officers
that the New England railroads be so
combined as to make a single zone sys-
tenn, to be called the northeastern zone.
Mr.. Elliott does not agree entirely with
this view. AS it is in some parts of
the south and west. so 1t is in New
England. that the short hauls tend to
make it impracticable to constitute into
q single system the railroads in gIvsn
zone. He is inclined to think that the
solution for the New England railroads
is to be found in the strong, perhaps
complete alliance OF them with some of
the great trunk lines. These trunk
lines have long hauls. New England
roads have only short hauls This was
the view taken by e. II. Hartman
when he started out some years before
his death to perfect railroad consolida-
ton in such manner that small and
comparatively weak roads could be alb
sorbed by the stronger ones. In this
way Mr.. Hartman believed better serv-
ice at less cost could be given. He went
even so far as to prepare for the alb
sopption of some of the small New
TIus ldUO lines intO ZIG NcW IOTk ScH-
trail or the Erie railroad systems.
Since the meeting at Washington,
much of the anxiety respecting the rail-
road situation has ended. The banks,
the government, and the railroads
to the extent of their finan-
cial capacity are bound to act in a sort
Of community of interest so that the
funds needed by the railroads can be
secured until Congress meets. The i'm

not distant when tho railroads will be
returned to their owners. After that a
time of great and important railroad
expansions and improvements especial
ly in terminals, and new and better
era for the railroads will begin.
