5000 STRIKERS
 WRECK OFFICE: 5:

Bombay, Dec. 24.--(India Infor- nation Bureau) - Three thousand strikers at one mill in the vicinity of Bombay, wrecked the office of the factory a few days ago and stoned a motorcar containing the police. se- verely injuring one inspector and two soldiers. Before the police succeeded in dispensing the strikers, they took to footing shops. A number of arrests were made and the mill district is be- ing picketed.
 Minor disorders took place else where in the cit, some stoning of street cars being indulged in at var ious places. The situation became ser ious enough for the commissioner of police to call the mounted police, who charged the crowd in semicircular fashion. The casualties have not been reported, but the crowd broke up and ed. Wholesale arrests were soon after made, sixty men being taken into cus- tody.
 For more than two months now the city of Bombay has been witnessing a, series of srtikes in the mill indus try, on the street cars, in gas works and the postal service. The tension has grown every day more serious especially on account of governm ment refusal to arbitrate the various dis putes. An all-India trade union con- gress recently held in the foremost industrial city has given further inn petus to the laboring ranks
 The Bombay strikers have sent a cable to London asking for financial support from the British labor move ment for their cause.

EDITORIAL NOTES

AS further evidence of the increas- ing use of water power for the devel- opment of electricity comes the re- port that the Southern California Ed ison company has received a prelim. mary permit from the Federal Power commission to develop 2,5OO,OOO horsepower of electric energy from the Colorado river. The potential power covered by the application is said to be equal to the total hydro electric development in the eleven western states at the beginning of 1920. Such use of the power going ing to the national assets.
 
 Police matters go from bad to worse in New York. The other day 1t was reported that an automo obil e was stolen on Grand street from un- der the window of Police headuuar- terS, which goes to show that, how ever desperate New York criminals are, one of them at least has a sense of humor.

 It is true their government can not 1 help them. Who then can? There | is only one answer.

A NEGLECTED RESOURCE

HERE, HAS never been the
 X general interest in the con servation of wild life that it's inn portance warrants. Most efforts in this direction have been the outgrowth of sentiment but it is now coming to be realized that there is another side to conservation; that 1t is a commer- ciaI proposition well. Men are coming to see that wild life is as much a natural resource as coal, min erals, timber or crops. and under proper administration can be made to produce a constant revenue.
 There is one way in which wild life is different from many natural resources, as for instance coal, or iron. When these have been dug and upscd they are gone; there is noth- ing operating to replcnish the supply In the case of the wild life, under proper administration the supply can he inc~eased; it is possible to use the interest and increase the capital. sc

among his colleagues for the things in which he believed.
 During the past 5 years MT. Kelly has devoted most of his spare time to he welfare of the Knights of Colum- bus. He was easily the most out- standing member of Park City coun> ciL No. 16, and was widely known and universally respected throughout the councils of the order in New Eng land.
 At his death he was the grand knight of the local council, having only recently been reelected to that, the highest honor which the mem- bership can bestow. His membership in Park City council dates back 35 years. From 1886 until lSUs ne was treasurer of the council.
 In 1908 when the then existing five Building Asso., MT. Kelly was chosen president which position he retained at his demise.

He was district deputy of the order for three years and state deputy during 1919 and 1920.
 As president. of the Building Asso ., he was largely responsible for the Hn2nc1ng or the plans WheFeOy the present fine home and site of the Chapter house on Golden Hill was secured and it was no little pleasure which he derived from the knowledge that during his administration the entire debt on the property was cleared. The worth of this achieve ment can be best measured when it is understood that it was accomplish ed within four years.
 During his terms grand knight the membership increased from 800 to 2,2o0. He had frequently repre- sented the council at state and na- tional conventions of the order. He was also a, member of Philip Sheridan Assembly, Fourth Degree.
 As a member of St. Patrick's par ish he was a leader in all of the ac- tivities undertaken by the men of the parish and was a devout communi- cant. His fraternal connections in cluded membersf ID in the Holy Name society, the c. B. L., the F. of A, and the Crane Relief Association. He is survived by his widow, who was Ca herine Killian of this city. A special meeting of Park City Council and Philip Sheridan Assem- bly, will be held at the Chapter Rooms, Sunday, at 3 D. rn.. to com plete arrangements for the obsequies.

THE PEOPLES SAY

To the Editor of The Times:
 It is not true that transportatio lines cannot be operated successfully by the public, and it is not true that higher than 5-cent fares are a ne cessity for the proper operation of street car lines that were honestly built and financed! In San Francisco, which has public ownership of street car lines, the passengers are carried for a 5-cent fare, the same as for merly The cars are clean, commo- dious and comfortable; and they pay handsome profit to the city.
