Art Naylor states that there may
not be as much water in the city
lake at present as there has been in
the past, but he wants to go on rec
ard as saying that it is about the
wettest water with which he ever
came in contact, and this is why Art
knows:
Yesterday he decided to take a day
off and fish He went to the city
lake, secured a small canoe, loaded
it with fine fishing tackle, and all
sorts of necessary bait, and proceeded
to fish.
He chose the west bank as the scene
Of operation, ana had fine luck. In
fact by six o'clock he had as nice 4
string of bass and croppie as one
could expect in q days sport, and fl.
nally bundled up his tackle and start
ed to paddle across the lake toward
home
His weight in one end OF the canoe
raised the bow out OF the water 10
quite a degree, and when a vagrant
wind caught 1t while the craft was in
mid-lake, it twisted so suddenly that
Mr. Naylor was thrown from the
boat and found himself scrambling to
retain his head above water.
He was rescued by some friends
who witnessed the accident, and was
towed to shore little the worse for
his wetting. but a whole lot worse off
financially, as he lost about $50 worth
Of tackle. a few thermos bottles and
other things, besides about forty fish
that he had labored all afternoon to
catch.

coupled with the pressure Of a further
rise in living costs, produced deep
and not unreasonable dissatisfaction
on the part of express employees, even
10 Il greater degree than upon many
of the railroad employees, as the wages
paid to the express employees were
eenera'y less than those paid for
analogous service by the railroads and
in many other industries. The eX-
press employees thus felt that the
service called upon to make sacrifices
as they believed, far beyond those of
any other class. For these reasons
and as measure of justice it was
decided that this decision, when made,
would be effective as of May l. 1920,
and that the increase herein specified
should be slightly in excess of those
decided upon for railroad employees
performing similar service"
Presidents of the express union who
were present when the award was
handed down, We're ron-committal on
the subject of its acceptabilty
Two of the unions had demanded
increases of sal per month, while
the other two asked an increase of s95

night to pass on the award. About
