Objection voiced by Director OF Safety
Myers to the proposed unonization OF the
local Fire Department is we'll grounded, and
the department itself as we'll as the public
it serves will profit most If the plan OF or
ganization be abandoned. Union allegiance
and union methods have no place in the Fire
Department, maintained By the public for the
pli bile safety, and as the director wisely oh
serves, no matter how laudabc the motives
OF such department m ght be. no matter how
.conscientiously its duties might be carried out
il, would be constantly open TO suspicion
criticism and attack Under those inevitable
conditions its present high efficiency could
not be maintained. There seems nothing TO
be gained and much to be lost if the unioniza

Wages Upon Another Footing"

T is natural that the country should be won
derins exactly what the President means
by his statement that representatives OF cap
itsl and labor will be invited to come to
Washington for a conference which will dis
cuss means OF bettering the relationship be-
tween the employer and the employee, and
seek means of placing wages on another foot
ing.
AS a rule the Presidents public utterances
are as transparent as sunshine. 1t is easy
TO note his exact purposes. But he leaves a
great deal to speculation when he suggests at
this particular time that wages should be nut
on another footing. Already, labor has as
sumed it TO mean that he is inclinng toward
a species of NATURALIZATION" of industry and
is now claiming him as convert to the
Plumb plan and such other plans as have been
advanced by the more enlightened labor or
CARNATIONS
Politicians are reading somewhat similar
meaning into this phrase. They contend that
IT spells surrender 10 labor, although they do
not appear convinced that Mr. Wilson Is ready
to swallow all the formulas and remedies
which labor has advanced as a solution of
present day industrial problems Some OF
the more partisan insist that the executive is
merely playing an adrot game in which he is
seeking to outmaneuver the Republicans in
his dealings with labor
Even SO, there is bewldcrment as to the
plans that are in the back OF the President
head. and 1t would be reassuring to his friends
and perhaps confounding to his opponents if
he found an early opportunity to make little
clearer his meaning. This he may do appro-
priatey in one Of his speeches on his long
western trips. He should go further into
the whole labor question and take the nation
into his confidence as to the thoughts he will
have to submit to the capital and labor con-
ference.
Happily this conference will not convene
Tor several weeks. Meantime the doubt and
uncertainty that now exist may be removed.
1t is unlike tho President 10 leave his coun-
trymen to puzzle over his policies or his pro-
grams.

Wrecked Cars.

Half dozen cars of the train
wreck which occurred a couple of
weeks ago west of Aberdeen were
here on the side track last Sunday,
on their way to the repair shops at
Minneapolis. The wreck was caus-
ed by a broken rail, while the train
was probably going at a rate OF
fifty miles an hour. The fact that
the train was made up of steel cars,
being one of the through to coast
trains, was probably why the wreck
was not a disastrous one in loss OF
life. The cars were all filled and
some of the passengers had retired
for the night, but there was not
one person seriously hurt, and two
children we're not even Weakened but
after the passengers had all left the
car, the two children we're found
sleeping in their berth.x Had the
cars been of wood construction there
would undoubtedly have been great
less of life. 1t is estimated that
the seven cars can be repaired fol
about $40. 900, which is about the
cost of one new car.

goes to q town where every one
expresses doubt and apprehen-

he naturally feels that it is no
place for him, and he at once
shakes the dust off his feet while
he pulls out with all possible
speed for some other place.

GOOD WORK IN CANAL ZONE
Avchdeacon Carson Tells Of Religious
Activities Among Those En-.
ployed On the "Bie Ditch"

Few men perhaps have so intimate
q knowledge Of the spiritual progress
made In the canal zone as the Rev.
Henry Roberts Carson, a~rchdeacon OF
the Protestant Episcopal church there.
From those days when the canal was
yet q great doubt until the present.
Mr.. Carson has been laboring among
the employees Of the canal that they
might have comfort Of body and well
fare OF soul. White and black. the
men there know him well and have
come to love him, for Archdeacon Car
son was with them In the now almost
forgotten days when fever ragged upon
the isthmus and each noon struck men
to the death.
Those early days Afchdeacon Carson
recalled In the missions house Of the
Protestant Episcopal church at New
York the other day before returning
to the canal zone.
I'VE were few In number then and
the work vas more than enough for
many" he said. The employees. most
OF them natives Of the British West
Indies. were housed In labor camps
here and there, for the channel was
not cut through from n end to the
other; but activities were everywhere
along its path.
"And In these camps we started
churches and the church moved when
the camp moved. for when the work
In that immediate vicinity was COM
pleted the camp went elsewhere. When
the water vas turned into the ana It
submerged these places where we had
held divine service"
While the work stretches from
ocean to the other, with churches at q
dozen places. some OF the most unseif-
ish labor is among lepers in the mis-
sion Of the Holy Comfort on the west
coast. There are to be found some 80
patients, including about a dozen emil.
dren. and not a week passes withous
services being held for them.
