1t was also preached that some-

have duties of inspection Of fir risks
and the proper inspection Of wiring.
Such, 1t was argued, would reduce the
expense of insurance in the city. A
member Of the department and some
civilian property owners spoke. A

named to meet with the fire depart
ment tonight at it's annual meeting

attractive topic was carried along on
he same lofty plane as has been car

"The lesson of the Holy Eucharist
showed forth sublimeity of the Sacra-
nent and Sacrifice.
"The Holy Eucharist is the Bread of
Life The Lord said: This is M
body; take and eat of it.
"Again the Divine Master said:
Unless we eat this bread and drink
his blood we shall. not have life IN

'The mystery of the Holy Euchar-
ist is sublime.
"To appreciate the Holy Euchar-

Although nearly all Of the positions
made vacant by the walkout Of the

cOrding to officials of the railroad,
places are being made for as many of
the men as can be accommodated
without removing any of the clerks al
ready employed.
About 10 men who walked out were
back to work Monday morning, and
there may be other places to fill when
the business of the l., & N. railroad
Is transferred back to the Calhoun ave
nue. station. 1t was said. The men are
being hired without regard to their
previous seniority, according to the in
structions Of b. l.. Winchell, regional
director of railroads, issued shortly
after the strike was called. Clerks
hired to take the place of the strikers
will be retained, i is said by officials
Of the company, If they are qualified
to fill their positions. An effort is be-
ing made to find a place for as many
of the men as possible.
K. j. Bacon, chairman of the locaI
adjustment board of the brotherhood,
said that some of the clerks were re-
turning to work, but no order to that
effect had been issued here. The
brotherhood will insist that all men be
taken back and their seniority restored,
