Action by Congress to safeguard

SToPI-LOoK!-LISTEN!

A driver of horse and wagon, fa- miliar with crossing, stopped, looked and listtned 20 feet from the nearest of the two tracks. Seeing the gates were up he drove on without stopping to look again, though his view was ob- structed, and he was struck on the second track. The Pennsylvania Su- preme Caurt held that he was guilty of contributory negligence as matter of law; that person who has entered on railroad tracks with view to cross ing must continue to look and listen for approaching cars, and that the fact that the safety gates are not lowered at crossing does not relieve driver from the duty of exercising ordinary care-Kipp vs. Central of New Jersey (Pa.) 10S Att. 175.

SCANDAL MONGER
(Contributed)

After God had finished making the rattlesnake, the toad and the yam. pire, He had some awful substances left, with which He made scandal monger. A. scandal monger is a two legged animal with a cork-screw soul, a water-sogged brain and a combina- tion backbone made of jelly and glue. Where other men have their hearts he carries tumor of decayed principles. When the scandal monger comes down the street honest men turn their backs, the angels weep tears in heaven, and the devil shuts the gates in hell to keep him out.-Anon.

PEAK REACHED
IN Shoe PRICES
So Say Makers, Refusing
Further Raise In
Wages

/. LYNN, May 13.-Indications that
the peak in wages to shoeworkers has
been reached and that the manufac-
turers have determined on a down.
ward scale in prices are contained in
a call issued by President Harry
Ryan OF the Joint Council of the
United Shoe Workers for a conven-
ton OF union workers in this city on
May 2G. The renewal of a peace
agreement with the manufacturers, to
become eeffctive Sept. 20, is to be dis
cussed, but no agreement will be
signed by the unions until satisfac-
tory adjustment of wage scales is
made, according to Ryan.
He says he has oeeu informed by
members of the Lynn Shoe Manufac-
turers' Association that they cannot
consider another increase in wages,
but many are willing TO maintain the
present scale for certain period.
The attitude of the manufacturers is
not to the liking Of the shoeworSers,
who maintain that the manufacturers
are receiving more today for thei-
product than ever before, and that
the public tendency is Tor still more
expensive footwear.
The latter is denied by the manu-
facturers, who clalgh that orders thus
far received this year from their
statesmen indicate that the consumer
has reached the point where he will
refuse to pay more than present
prices.
