President Ham Should Recognize
the Car Mems Union

It seems to be pretty well established that President
Ham has decided to follow the mistaken footsteps Of his
predecessor Mr. King and refuse except under duress to
recognize the street mems union the principle OF
collective bargaining
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
President Ham demands and is cheerfuly granted the
opportunity of collective bargaining every time he appears
before the Public Utilities Commissioners, asking favors
for the stockholders he represents
Does he think the Commissioners should refuse to hear
treat with him. because his stockholders meet elect
board of directors which, in choose him president
to represent them in public hearings?
Why then should he object to the employment Of the
same methods by the who following the same
course organize elect executive committee, which, in
turn chooses spokesman to present their claims and
demands?
There is no good reason for the refusal recognize
the union and if this the basis of any local labor trou
ble with further essening of transportation efficiency it
is certain in advance which side public sympathy will
favor

Beatrice Fairfax Writes of the Problems Workers
Especially for Washington Women

interest the different criticisms and
opinions concerning the kissing
haolt' and feel compelled to give
vent to few OF my own sentiments
on that subject.
10 oegin with, / heartily agree
with "B. S. H" and his sentiments
thlnk that very moderate
amount OF kissing will certainly
have no demoralizing effect on any
girl provided she is the right kind
OF girl. Life is not all sunshine.
and why should we deny ourselves
the small pleasures and romances
that may come within our reachc
do not for one instant mean to con-
vey to you the idea that / think it
is right for a girl to allow herself
to be kissed and fused over by
every man she meets. But suppos-
ing that boy and girl are fond OF
each other, but neither OF them has
any desire TO marry. is il, then, a
great breach of etiquette for them
to have their little romance-and
what is romance without kisses?
Concerning the lady who would
hut oiio" ihc man IO "HOHl Sne was
engaged kiss her before marriage.
The courtship period is. supposed
to be the happiest period in the
life of the engaged couple. Why
deny the lover the delightful privi-
lege of kissing his future wife?
Having to hold this very natural
desire in check certainly detracts
from the joys of his engagement, as
there is no man who does not want
to caress and fondle the object of
his love. Promiscuous kissing is
decidedly wrong, but the kiss, when
not degradingly used. is one of the
greatest pleasures in the world.
