neck that bird will show marked
improvement. Is genuine sleeper.
Chasseuer has the peep" money as
good as won. Sir William johnson
seems to be in a soft spot in the
nth. He won a creditable race the
last time colored and should repeat
right back again. ZOuave doesn't
call for a terrible lot, but there's
nothing much in the race. Arbi-
traitor will bear watching.
Old King Neptune likes the "graw'
track. He has been freshened up
and il he's ever to win another
race then it should be the sixth to-
day. In his best days he could run
backwards and trim such company.

A sightseeing hydroairplane
owned by the Capital Flyers was
completely destroyed by FIRE about
2:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon on
the banks OF the Potomac River at
the south end OF the Highway
Bridge.
The fire, which is thought to have
been caused by backfring Of the
engine, started just as A. c. Downey,
one of the owners OF the plane, was
preparing to make.a flight. EHplo-
sion OF the gasoline tank was pre-
vented by a load tap which fell of
when the fire started.
Engine Company No. 10 responded
to an alarm. but when the fremen
arrived the plane was practically de-
strOyed. The plane has been used
in sightseeing trips over Washing
ton. II was valued at S5, 900 and is
covered by insurance.

day, Jones said. many of the en-
gineers would be subjects of charity.
He said that in some cases en-
gineers worked twenty-four hours
on a stretch in the District schools.
1t is not fair, he said. These
men are not getting the treatmer!
accorded by the District of Colum-
bia to its dumb animals.
II have confidence" he said, that
the board will recommend not only
more money to the present school
employees, but will provide more
men in order to shorten the hours
and lessen the work of these over
worked men,"
Joseph Hurley, representing city
employees. suggested that the title
of janitors be changed to custodians,
declaring that such a move would
bring about a greater likelihood of
favorable action by Congress.
John Ryan, engineer at the Park
View School, declared that in addi-
tion to handling the heating and
ventilating of that building, he had,
with the assistance of one helper,
about an acre and a quarter of foor
space to sweep and clean every day
after school closed.
In the winter time, Ryan said, IL
was necessary for him TO go to work
at 3 o'clock in the morning in order
to have the building properly heate d
when the pupils arrived. 1t was i'm
possible, he said, to complete his
work on such days under fourteen
to sixteen hours.
Cite Loyalty in Crisis.
Ryan, as well as other speakers.
declared they had remained loyal to
the school system at a time when
they could have commanded much
higher salaries outside. Long serv-
ice in the schools and pleasant as
sOciation with teachers and pupils
had made their positions a part OF
their lives TO such an extent that
the question of salary became a
secondary issue. They insisted
however, that they were entitled TO
living wage.

teaching school in rural com
munity he received a salary Of s.
week, of which s1.25 was spent
for meals from Monday noon "a

other school which paid 81 q week
and was much nearer his home.
He was told, he said, that since he
could live at home he should be
willing to work for Sc a week in
spite Of the fact that 81 was au-
thorizcd for that school.
1t was just as unfair for them
to take advantage Of mo because
could live at home as it is unfair
to take advantage Of you because
you like to work in the District
schools" he said. i think you
should have a wage commensurate

who are acceptable to the leaders OF
organized labor.
There is much common sense in the
method adopted by the federation in
promoting the candidates. of men of
their selection in existing political
parties, rather than to attempt to form
third party, as has been done by
numerous dissatisfied elements in the
past, the party only to wither and
die within few years of it organi-
cation. The combined labor vote is
big vote and a powerful vote. if it
can be held together and thrown
where the powers in organized labor
direct. But little wisdom will be dis
played in the rank and file of labor
organizations cast their votes in ac-
cordance with the dictates of their
leaders, without themselves investi-
eating the records of the men FOR
cOnscienticusness, honesty and recti
tude. Merely to fall in line because
this man or that man is said to be a
" friend" of labor is folly Another
matter to be considered is whether the
candidates agreed upon, if elected to
office, would have at heart the interest
of the American nation and its people.
Dictatorship in organized labor
exists. Organized labor, therefore.
cannot be said to be purely democrat

If those who figuratively may be hold

consistent with the ideals of democra-
y than the selection by certain indi-
fiduals of candidates who are ode

LABOR IN POLITICS

The American Federation of Labor
will enter into the 1920 campaign with
zest and determination to exert every
possible effort to elect to public office
candidates who are favorable to the
labor elements of the United States.
The records of all candidates will be
closely scrutinized, the federation
announces, to determine their attitude
toward union labor, and upon those
who are not in sympathy with trade
unionism, the big guns of the labor
vote will be turned.
Interesting, indeed, is the announce
ment of the federation which, in a
statement issued from Washington,
says congress has failed to do its
duty"
Indications are that the federation
will not align itself with any particu
lar party, but will weed out from both
parties candidates who are not ia
vorable toward labor, and will then
center its support on "picked" men,

AMERICANIsM IN ENGLAND

American customs have been intro
duced in England since the return OF
the Prince of Wales to his native lane
after tour of the United States
England is becoming rapidly Amcri
canized in many ways, reports from
London indicate, many BritishNrs, once
they learn of the way of affairs il
America, being eager to discard the
old conventions of England, in favor
of new world fashions.
Among the many American customs
which have been introduced in Eng
land recently is one which is quite
startling, especially when it is the
Prince of Wales who is sponsor for the
advent into England of the democratic
American ideas. It is the American
dance, wherein partners frequently are
exchanged during the hop
In England it was the custom among
dancers to have not more than three
or four parters during the evening,
and frequently only one partner. A
couple, going to a dance, would dance
together during the entire evening,
quite ignoring, so far as dancing part
ners were concerned, others who might |
be on the floor.
Now that the Prince of Wales is
back home, he has introduced at West
End clubs in London, American
methods of dancing, to which he gave
his approval by waltzing, one-stepping
and fOx-trotting with no less than fifty
partners at one ball.
If it is true, as some assert, that
Britain bids fair to hold too much
strength in America for this country IS
own good, is it not true that American
IDEAS and customs threaten to overrun
Britain?

It CAVE HIM A

The American Clay Products Com.
pany, which recently acquired both
the Eastburn Reeder estate farms
has arranged to purchase Hugh W
Michener's farm, and paid down ST.
500 IS evidence of good faith.
This will give them a continuous
block Of land from a point at the
northwest corner of New Hope Dor.
ough, through part of the borough
to a point beyond Reeder station,
which is one and three quarter miles
from New Hope station.
1t is thought that any building OPP
erations, to house the employees, will
probably be conducted on the Mich
ener farm, which has considerable
frontage on the York Road, and lies
largely within the borough limits.
1t is understood that the company
also has other lands in view, but so
far as known has not as yet paid any
moneys on them. 1t paid $4,000 for
the two Reeder farms, aside from the
$4,000 forfeit money on the Kitchener
farm.

Lebanon's New Bank Seems Sure

The announcement this week that
the men pushing the organization Of
a new bank in Lebanon, this county,
$25 900 to $4,000, indicates that this
county's thirteenth bank seems likely
to be organized soon.
This will give a bank to every
2,615 people in the county, better
showing than in any other county of
the state, which speaks we'll for its
prosperity. The banking wealth is
about $500 per capita, too.
No bank in Hunterdon County has
ever failed it's depositors. One bank,
some years ago, was temporarily
embarrassed through a cashiers en-
bezzlement. Matters were soon set
Alright and no depositor lost anything,
while the bank itself is now on an es-
pecially firm basis.
A bank at Lebanon will give that
section six banks, within six miles
Lebanon, Whitehouse, Clinton (2),
High Bridge and Califon, about one
bank to each 700 of population.

Local Men in New Bank

The announcement that Joseph G.
Lear, of North Union street, will be-
come a clerk in the new bank being
formed at Roebling, Burlington coun-
ty, recalls the fact that this city will
lose two widely known and popular
young men through this new organi-
zation.
William L. Wilson, assistant cash
Ter in the Lambertville National
Bank for several years past, has been
selected to act as cashier of the Roe
bling bank, and it was he who secured
Mr.. Lear's services as assistant.
Mr.. Lear was for number of years
the head of j. G. Lear & Co., en-
gagged in milling and lumber, succeed
ing his late father, F. F. Lear, who
died some years ago. He recently
sold his plant to the Herdlea Milling
Company, which is conducting the
place on a large scale.
Mr.. Wilson's ability was sufficient
ly we'll known to enable the manage
ment of the new bank to select him
from a considerable list of eligibles
and that he and Mr.. Lear will make
good in their new vocations none OF
their friends doubt.

City Engineer Kitchin Resigns

Theodore G. Kitchin, city surveyor
under the old council manic govern
ment, and for two years city engin-
eer in charge of the local streets,
announced to the City Commissioners
at their meeting on Thursday that
he wished to be relieved of the work
at once, in order that he might de-
vote his attention to his other en-
cheering work, which is more prof.
table.
The commissioners asked him to
remain for a few weeks, until the
streets can be cleaned, and ruts and
holes patched. He agreed to do this,
and will continue until the latter part
of April, during which period more
than 500 tons of stone will be used
for repair work, and things cleaned
up generally.
His tractor and wagons will be
used on other road work in which he
is interested, and this city will again
return to teams for hauling unless
a truck or other tractor is purchased
the present equipment being the per-
sonal property of Engineer Kitchin.
