bers OF his union.
"They do not affect the member
ship of the Chicago Yardmen's As
sociation," Grunau said, las our
members who were members OF the
other organizations have their res
ignations on file. Therefore no con-
tract signed in the past has any

Should his demands be met,
Grunau added, it would be stipulated
that the grants apply only to Chi
cago Yardmen's Association men and
not the older organizations.
About 150 switchmen employed in
the Michigan Central and Pere Mar

President w. G.. Lee, of the train
men, and Samuel Gompers, president
OF the American Federation OF La
Dor, will address the men. Mr.. Com

Mr.. Gompers issued a statement
yesterday saying that all the influ-

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
FIRST KING TO VISIT OUR
 COUNTRY.

A greatN many members of royal families have visited our country from time to time since it's establishment, but the first crowned head to set foot upon American soil was King Kala- kaua, of the Sandwich Islands. At the time arreciprocity treaty between our country and the Pacific islands was being formulated, but the kings visit was in no way connected with any of ficial business, but merely to pay, his respects to President Grant, of whom hewas great admirer.
 King Kalakaua arrived in San Fran cisco from Hawaii on November 29 on the steamship Benicia." No prepara- tions were made for the reception. but as the vessel bearing the king and his suite entered the harbor salutes were fired from the forts and govern ment vessels. A military escort, ord cred by the governor, conveyed the party from the boat landing to the
 hotel
 The Hawaiians remained in San Francisco for several days, and then started direct for Washington. where 1 they arrived on December 12. They were received at the Baltimore and I Ohio depot, in Washington, by bat 1 taIion of marines, headed by the ma 1 rine band. The royal company had l been escorted across the continent by I Capt. William G. Temple, of the navy and his aides
 In the party, aside from the king
 were John o. Dominus, governor oi Oahu; John N. Kapena, governor oi
 Mani; the Hon. Henry A. Pierce, Unit ] ed States minister to Honolulu, as vel l as other eminents. The national colors 1 of the islands were seen on all sides as the party drove to the hotel where
 they were to be quartered in Washing I ton.
 Governor Dominus, the kings bro ther-in-l law, who had married Lii oukalani, who later became queen, wa native of Massachusetts. He haS not seen a railroad train for thirty-twt
 years previous to coming to this coun
 try, and was amazed with the com
 forts of the transeentinental Journey. When the king arrived in Washing ton he was suffering from a sever
 cold and vas unable to leave his 'hote for. keveral days. He was foEmall,

DEER HUNTING.

Massachusetts has just finished it's limited period during which it is possi- ble to hunt deer with shotgun and as the result something less than a thous- and deer have been killed and one man has lost his life from the charge of a hunters gun.
 It is this way in which Massachusetts keeps down the number of deer It is recognized that if they were protected against hunters the year round they would become in very few years an unbearable nuisance. As it is they are much bother and the means of much loss to the farmers and orchardists.' But the idea of giving them free range for almost the entire year and then sub jecting them to slaughter during a few days at this season, after they have be- come more or less domesticated doesn't demonstrate any great skill on the part of the many amateurs who go into the fields and woods after them It doesn't provide very exciting sport for those who are rated as clever hunters since it isn't much different from going out and shooting down some cows.
 That there is a danger connected with the open week is shown by the killing of farmer who was working in his woodland and so surrounded by hunters that it was impossible to tel who was responsible for the shooting though it was considered to be acciden tal
 With recognition of the fact that deer cannot be wisely protected the veal round and that the plan of throwing the countryside wide open during ont week in December is too dangerous 1T a State as thickly settled as Massachu sets, it must be recognized that thu idea of propagating the deer to rul loose through such states as Massachu setts and Connecticut is responsible fo much waste of human life and an ex pense and annoyance to those upol whose crops the deer feed. If deer wer not protected such conditions would no exist. It would not be long before the. would be eliminated from these part and we are not so sure but that is wha it is eventually going to come. to, whel the full and partially restricted season prove failures

BURLEsoN's DEFICIT.

In his annual report Postmaster Gen eral Burleson is still paying more atten- ton to economy than he is to efficiency in the postal service. Instead of call ing attention to surplus for the past year he points to deficit of seventeen and quarter millions and directs at- tention to the fact that this deficit ex- ists not because of his management but because congress authorized an increase in the pay of the postal employees &C., cording to its own ideas rather than in accord with his plan. Had his sugges. ton been adopted there would be diff ferent hnanGiS1 report to make
 From all indications the postmaster general doesn't appreciate the situation to which the postal service has fallen under his guidance and the predicament that was threatened had his policy been carried out. In the first place the peo- pie pay for service and expect to get it It isn't a department where a surplus IS expected. Efficient service without waste and needless throwing away oi money is what is desired, but while the people have been paying they have fail. ed to get the service.
 Regardless of the general dissatisfac ton with the administration of the de partment and an apparent disregard fol efficiency in the service, there was 2 much worse situation threatened under the Burleson plan of pay increases fol not only was it regarded unfavora bly, by those for whom it was intended bu 1t would have resulted in such losses 1T employees as to have further impaired the department service.
 The effects of the Burlesonized mai service are to be noted in other way that the deficit shown in the report anC strange as it may seem the postmastel general hasn't in all the years he hal been retained as the head of that de partment grasped the fact that a justi fled deficit isn't kicked at by the peopl provided they are given the service the. desire and pay for.

SECURITIES AS PRESENTS.

There have been years when the sug- gestion that those buying Christmas presents give consideration to the ap- rropriateness Of saving securities of the United States government would have required less urging. That was when the thoughts were being directed more fl equently and widely to the importance of bringing everyone's mite to the front in order to aid the financial activ- ties of the government Those strenu; GUS campaigns are over, but government securities are still for sale, and it can be appreciated that there is no better or safer security to be found and no better way to inspire thrift than through these very same government promises to pay
 For those who are determined to give something useful it is possible to in vest in government secul ities running 1T | price all the way from 25 cents to 2 thou sand dollars, the receipt of whici means that the government is going te have the use of such sum for a def nite period during which the holder vii be paid, or have accumulated for him, 2 certain amount in addition to the fact of the stamp or certificate.
 l To those members of the society fol the prevention of useless giving thi; form of Christmas present must mak, strong appeal Likewise it will to s large number of others and the joy anC happiness that would go with the start ing of such an investment or the in creasng of investments already mad | would be here today and gone tomor row.
 Many have already invested 'largel! in government securities of this kind Many are doing so regularly and it cal be appreciated that the number vii increase. The security is one whicl appeals strongly and whether it is as holiday gift, or 8 personal investment it is to be realized that N means some thing that will increase in value as tn days pass.

UNDER MARTIAL LAW.

It Is a sorry tale that comes rom Cork regarding the conditions which developed as the result of the establish- ment of martial law in that city. In keeping with the attitude which has been previously manifested there was a determination to resist the new Brit ish policy, even as the alternative of fered was refused.
 Following directly upon the bombing from ambush of the military which re- suited in death and injuries the fires which followed, resulting in losses which may total s15,000,9oO, indicate a prompt reprisal and a period of terror which few cities could hardly wish to expert snee. Apparently the Attack came be fore martial law had become firmly es tablished, or else the new situation there doesn't give promise of any bet ter control and the ending of violence.
 As the result of what marked tn putting into effect of the new policy il certain sections of Ireland. it must b evident, even to the strongest of tn opponents that such cannot continue in definitely. Conditions which have pre- vailed have been responsible for martia law. In connection with the establish ment of peaceful conditions and orderl existence the initiation of martial lay may prove to be an eye opener. Wit

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MT Editor: This is the season of greetings and gifts, May I send to your readers greetings and ask them to send me gifts?
 These greetings will I hope. give real pleasure. They convey the gratitude of the soldiers blinded en the war for the sympathy and help which has come to them from all parts of the world. They carry the news that all we hoped for frcm the training given at St. Dunstan's is being justified by these blinded men are making of their lives.
 I do not think that anyone would say it gets easier to be bravely blind as the years go on. It becomes easier to do things in the dark, but the demand on the will to keep pace with normal life grows greater rather than lessens. Con- stant effort is extraordinarily exaeting aRd it is really splendid how the men meet this demand on themselves, keep up their interest in everything and main tain their notable record as workers some in offices, some practicing as mas seurs, some as poultry farmers, and oth. CTS as expert craftsmen.
 There are still more than five hundred
 men learning to be blind in our class
 rooms and workshops.-
 Besides those actually blinded on tn,
 battlefields, 2S,006 men were discharged from the army with seriously damaged sight, and, unfortunately, many of thes. are finding it necessary to come to ,st DQstan's. We are dealing, too, with { number of men whose health does no enable them to make such quick pro gress as others
 We have also now to meet the expense of moving our headquarters--the office for the organization required to look aft CT nearly 1000 men, and also the class rooms and workshops.
 The blinded soldiers have created |; 1 magnificent record the plans for helpini them back to normal life have worket out better I think, than anyone dream ed would be possible I think, too. t1a there is no one who realizes what tn gift of sight means, and what blindnes
 must mean who would not wish to hell
 on this work which St. Dustan's has un | dertaken.
 ] I trust thzt any of your readers wh l are so generous as to respond to thi appeal will forward their contribution
 to me at St Dustan's headquarters, Re | gents Park, London. N. W. I. l Yours faithfully, ARTHUR PEARSON. Chairman. London, Dec. 2, 1920.

presented to the president on the af- ternoon of December 15. The meeting lasted about twenty minutes, during which time the king and the president chatted on sofa.
 On the following day women's cen- tennial tea party was given in the TO- tnnda of the capitol. which was at- tended by the royal Hawaiians, nearly all the ladies being dressed in ,centen- nial costumes. On the 18th the king and his suite were received by con eress, in the house of representatives, which was the first instance in the his tsry of our government where a royal monarch was received by that body.
 In the evening of the same day a reception to the king was given at the White House, the invitations includ- ing the members of the supreme court, members of the cabinet, all the foreign ministers, in full court uniform, mem hers of both houses of congress, and officers of the army and navy in full uniform.

AUTO LEGISLATION.

When the secretary of the National Highway Protective society declares that the increase in the number of deaths in automobile accidents and the thefts of cars is due to law legislation, he says much to those legislatures which have not given much attention to protective measures, and he reminds others that there is wisdom in keeping the laws abreast of the conditions.
 There are states whi ih by their eff forts to secure greater safety and se- curity set an excellent example to oth- CTS. They have seen the necessity of dealing with bad conditions before they got so bad as to be a national disgrace, while there are others which have fol- lowed a policy of negligence with the result that conditions are depiorable and the people are calling out for re- lief.
 When 1t is realized that there were 3sos people nSthis country killed by automobiles during the year 1919, il must be realized that it represents a large loss of life, and particularly SC when had there been the exercise of adequate care a large percentage of that
 
 Whatever part lax legislation contri butes thereto, either through failure tc restrict and punish reckless driving ol through failure to insure and maintain competent drivers by means of licens, control. ought to be quickly remedied Every state should be anxious to giv, it's highways a degree of safety tha will be to its credit and the mere dis closure th1t such does not exist shoult be sufficient reason for action to secure it
 Legislation that will give reasonable protection to highway users must b, provided in keeping with the increase il motor vehicles, and after being pro. vided shoSld be enforced, and whil safety of life and limb is being sough it is only proper that means to protec autos from thieves should get carefu attention.
