OFFICIALS MUST
 CONSIDER LABOR
Haley FiSke CriticizeS "Trucu- lent Altitude" Taken By
 Railroad ChieftainS
By Associnted Press

New York, April 10 Haley F'iske. pres ident of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company and a member of the execu tive committee of the National Associa- tion of Owners or Railroad Securities, In- formed A. H. Smith, president of the New York Central railroad, in a letter given out here today, that some rail roads are making mistake in their at htude toward labor. It was in reply to MT. Smiths letter to S. Davies War field, president of the association, talk ing exception to the positions of the as sociations executive committee in con ferring with representatives of railroad employees
 Your assumption" MT. Fiske wrote,
 that in seeking a conference with the labor representatives. the most impor- tant element in the present problem, we were pretending to represent you on the board was quite unwarranted. We very frankly put our real position before these organizations and the public we think the present truculent attitude of some railroad administrations towards the operatives and the unions is great mistake, which may lead to disaster, and that it is time that all concerned in the properties should show some conciliatory disposition to at least get the point of view of labor. to seek some method Of negotiation to end the present impasse.
 MT. F'iske stated that the Metropolitan Life Insurance company holds securities of the New York Central railroad and It's subsidiaries amounting to nearly S23,0oo,- 900 par value. In addition, it has on it's books loans and agreements to loan over $9O0O,O0O on bonds and mortgages upon real estate ito finance your opera tions in the neighborhood of your ter minal."
 Altogether" he added, "our financial interest amounts to sS2, ,oo0,Ooo. This is about IS per cent of our total investment in railroad securities.
 And no wthat our conference is over, the letter concluded, we feel that We have accomplished much. In our opinion. that it is time for all the interests-in- vestors administrators, operatives-to get together; that it is not time for recrimination."

With a faint, purring sound the big car swallowed up the winding road Oh, that this glorious rioe might never end!
 They swept through a murSy road. Dick turned the blazing headlights on. A great flood of electricity lit up the twining paths the undergrowth. Small furry things went scanpering across the fallen leaves. Bright, frightened eyes peeped out at this great juggernaut Of mans invention
 I'd love to take you on camping trip" said Dick "Alaska-the Canad- ian rockies-or maybe the Grand Canyon Oh, it's wonderful out thereH'
 The heart of Mary leaped again She felt all-primitiye woman, ready to follow at her lord s command.
 At last they came to their destination They pulled up with a flourish before a riverside hotel. It's lights shone out in welcome
 And Dick helped Mary to descend. She stood and watched him try to lock the car.
 Great heavens! The things be- witchedr' He fumbled with his key.
 Then his eye travelled over the front portion of the car. He switched light on and looked closer.
 "Jehosophat! Gee whizzl I've done |. now!" He turned to Mary blankly. I've taken the wrong carl The police'll cer- tainly be after us!'
 The wrong car? The police? Why. what do you mean?" repeated Mary, blankly staring up at Dick.
 That young man was once more tin kering with the lock and key.
 And then he climbed down to terra firma.
 "A stiff boob! A simpletonl" he was murmuring. "oh, I could kick my self"
 You mean that you've taken the wrong carr"
 He nodded ruefully.
