FIRE DOES LITTLE
DAMAGE TO ANNEX
Flames Break Out in Base
ment of Building Occu-
pied by Theater.

Considerable excitement and a
little damage was caused by a fire
in the basement Of the oliver An
mex, which is located almost di-
rectIy under the oliver theater,
about $3.50 o'clock Tuesday after
noon. The blaze started shortly
after a quantity OF baled paper had
been placed too near the steam
pipes.
Foster Norton. employee Of the
Oliver Uleater, discovered smoke in
the lobby Of the theater and immed-
lately began an investigation, which
took him TO the door in the rear of
the theater that leads to the base
ment. On opening this door he
walked directly into a cloud Of
smoke.
An alarm was sent into the cen
trail station and within a few minutes
after their arrival the fire fighters
had the mass of smouldering paper
and rubbish extinguished. Although
many people were Witnessing the
moving picture show in the oliver
they filed out orderly as they began
to smell and see the smoke that
had made its way into the lower
floor of the building
According TO Chief Sbbrel very
little damage was caused in the
annex basement, while a portion Of
the stock Of the Klingel and Keuhn
shoe store, which js. located in a
store room adjoining the scene Of
the blaze. was slightly dana ged by
smoke.
Chief Sibrel also said that a
quantity OF old dishes and souvenirs.
belonging TO tenants OF the apart
ments, were partly destroyed. The
entire loss, however, in his estima-
ton. will not exceed $3.50.
The presence of the firemen dash
ing into the theater caused several
thousand people to gather around
the scene. Two squads Of policemen
were required TO keep the curious
from breaking into the fire lines
and hampering the firemen in their
work.

Dennison Mfg Co. Of Chicago. III.
At the monthly meeting Il the En-
ploynent Managers association OF

night.
Mr.. Meme has for years been AZ

pany and at Tuesdays meeting ad-
vanced a number Of plans. both
original and practical. which were
welcomed by the employment man

His subject. Transfers and Pro
motions" was comprehensive
treatment OF a subject which the
members declared was agitating
many employers.

"Promotion." said Mr.. MSne. "as
we use the word IN labor relations
means 70 charge an employe in his
Job 10 one OF a higher grade, not
necessarily involving a change lin
wage rate.
a definite promotion program
has a three-fold value: CAD the or
Eanazation. % the employment de-

also makes for stability OF organi-
zation by tending TO reduce the
labor turnover. There will be fewer

ployes having had no chance 10 get
ahead. Again, II develops an or
zanization OF emplCyes who are YER
satile, having had experience on
more than one Job. IL brings 10 the
front those individuals who possess
special ability. II acts as a seiective
process by which the competent
and deserving employe gradually
rises TO the top.
"The employment department

regular promotions for employees Is
not always easy to follow. but when

happy results. II may appear 10

that It brings.

"a promotion plan helps 20 sell
a lob 10 the employe."
Mr.. Meme declared that many
employees were making a grievous
mistake In not promoting a man
who Is making esr ecially good on a
particular Job. He contended that
a place can always be filed by an
other employe

Under the city-manager plan. the

The plan abolishes "one man

the election OF a fool mayor Is some
thing OF a calamity, from which
there is no escape.

Is subject TO continuous control by

put in their places or removed with
