the country they are planning memo
rial buildings, but it may be noted
that the communities which desire
them are asking either their state or
the national government to furnish
the money. They are all willing to
erect memorials. provided someone
else pays for them and we suspect
that the word memorial Is merely
used as a camouflage. What they want
TO do is to add to the Importance of
their cities. The kind of a memorial
that counts is the n that men go
into their own pockets fort is the
Offering that hallows the purpose, and
building them with other peoples
money is not hallowed in any way.

Consider More Pay For
Terminal Freight Agents

A committee of inquiry, represent
ing the terminal and freight agents
of the United States, with G. w.
Phelps of Cincinnati. o.. held con-
ference with the director general at
Washington, D. c., last week, regard
an increase in compensation which
will affect from 1000 to 5000 en-
ployes throughout the country, and.
if the increase is granted. add mill
lions of dollars to the administration
payroll. '.L.
According to the committee the OBJ
ject Of the visit is to find out whether
these terminal junction. freight
agents are to be penalized because
they represent a body of employees
who have so far refused to organize
and make demands for additional
compensation, but have preferred to
leave the justice of their claims with
the Washington officials.
They point to the fact that station
agents and all classes of railroad en-
ployes have organized and received
increases amounting to more than 90
per cent; also that some of the en-
ployes whom they employ as part OF
their forces now receive more money
than they do. '--
In this connection special mention
and the fact that they now get more
money than the men who hire them
With the recent increases even chief
| clerks with overtime to their credit
receive more. than their chiefs.

recent court session on Il charge
OF unlawfully tapping a gas main
ana using an unmetered gas supply,
was sentenced by President Judge
George kunkel to pay fine of $500
and serve one month in Jail.
When Markley's counsel present
ed a petition asking for huspended
sentence and signed by Mayor Keis-
ter number of aldermen and bank
officials, District Attorney Michael
E. Stroup said he was sure they: had
signed the request without giving 1t
careful consideration.
He told thee ourt he could not
understand why a mayor would sign
such a petition when he dismissed
two men; from the police force for
petty graft or why aldermen
would sign it unless they thought
there was no merit in the case be-
cause it was not brought before them
when tho, action was first started.
Mr.. Stroup also said that such a petit
ton .when2 presented TO the court
made the task of imposing sentence
| both unpleasant and disagreeable. 4
