The city council passed the con

Executive Session

The council went into executive
session, and among the important
matters taken up the granting of a
permit to stephen T. Bowers TO
erect a service station at the cor
ner of West King street and North
Maple avenue. In his application
Mr.. Bowers asked permission TO
cross the sidewalks on both thor
oughfafes and erect gasoline tanks
on both sides at the entrance. AT
the public meeting the permit was
granted. but when Mayor Tonkin
arrived and upon being advised Of
the councils action he entered a
protest.
The council went into the matter
thoroughly, and rescinded their
former action. referring the matter
to the real estate committee, city
attorney and city engineer, requir-
ing them to have Mr.. Bowers sub

TOO SERIOUS
TO BE LAuGHABLE

This thing OF workers contribut-
ing to the support OF the miners
while they are loafng or striking
would be laughable If 1t were not
50 serious. Cutting off trains, clos
ing factories, throws many people
out of employment People whe
want to work. satisfied with condi-
tions as they are but they cannot
work when the coal supply Is shut
off. Yet The very people who are pro
longing the coal strike are those
who, facing cold and voorhees, days,
are contributing so much a week 10
support tho striking miners.
You sometimes hear it said a
man has the right to quit work when
he pIeases." That theory prevailed
at one time but today the American
public takes different view Of the
matter. 1t is tired Of being knocked
ont of joint every time few peo-
nle get dissatisfied. And in the fut.
IRE it will give scant sympathy to
those who upset the worlds affairs
for some petty grievance or ride
uious untrted theory.
The average worker selects the
line Of work that he wants to fol-
low That line of work has its adj
Yantages and It's drawbacks. Tho
worker assumes both when he takes
LIS position and draws his wages.
And the public accustoms itself 10
buying and using the kind of goods
