THERE are few people in this world

criticism is meant to be Of con-

receive but few letters OF commenda-

constantly striving to aid the people
Of the community In which the sheets

Labor Decentralization.

W. G. Lee. president OF the Brothef-
hood of Railroad Trainmen, says, in
an interview at Cleveland, that
nationwide railroad strike is not pos
sible today. He declares that it cost
the railroads and the unions indulging
In it more than they can afford to
lose. This, he says, was proved by
the shopmens strike. When a strike
gets SO big that it cannot be con-
step in and control it. and this results
generally in legislation detrimental to
all concerned. THE present situa-
tion,'' says Mr.. Lee, ''is the first ray
of light I have seen in ten years"
These observations, which bear
much comfort to the long suffering
public, upon whose shoulders have
always rested the burdens Of strikes
in the essential industries, are coupled
with an announcement of very great
importance. Decentralization. says
Mr.. Lee, has begun in the railway
labor organization. The ''big four
brotherhoods will no longer be a unit
in negotiations over wages and rules
and working conditions. Two Of these
brotherhoods may continue to be asso-
ciated, those Of the trainmen and the
conductors. while those Of the en-
gineers. firemen. enginemen and
switchmen will perhaps likewise be
affiliated. Thus there will be two
big twos' instead Of one big four"
This does not necessarily mean a
weakening Of the labor organization.
It means, rather. that each craft or
group of directly allied crafts will
work independently to secure better
ments. Mr.. Lee believes that he can
handle his organization to better ad.
vantage. to get more for his men and
to work more effectively all around

it alone" SO far as wages and work.

This is the more important in view
of the still prevalent disposition
among certain Of the more radical
factors to develop the lone big union"

which, though not yet fully settled, Is
virtually at an end-much was heard
about the "one big union" It was
urged then, as before. that only. by
concentrating all railroad unions un.
der one head could strike be won.
Advocates Of this plan have for some
years been ''boring from within" in
the American Federation Of Labor to
break down union organization lines
to this same purpose. They have,
however, never succeeded in destroy.
ing the identity Of the separate trade
organization. The dissolution Of the
''bis. four" will distinctly discourage
this radical movement, with its posi-.
bilities OF infinite mischief to the vel.
fare Of American labor.

Business and Altruria.

There is talk of reductions BY
foreign shipping interests in ocean
freight rates here and there. More
such talk will be heard. Reductions
now and then may be expected.
A cutthroat game? That is harsh
word. Better say a business game
the usual game.
In entering the field Of, and for,
ocean freights. we are entering a
field where. as distinctly as in any
other field, business Is business. En-
trants are doing business on business
principles. Each wants all the bust.
ness it can get by the employment
OF legitimate business methods and
means. Each, seeking business, Of
fers as good and safe accommodations
afford. Come one. come ALL" is the
cry addressed to those with freights
to be transported. 1t Is a familiar cry.
This is expected Of US. and we should
not disappoint expectation. Indeed.
ws could not afford to do so. If we
did our competitors would despise us
and we should soon be obliged to
retire. There would be nothing In the
game for US. 80
The seven seas do not wash the
shores Of Altruria, but the shores Of
the most real and substantial and
practical world known to- men,
So In Incoming a bidder for the
ocean-carryins business let US recox-
nize ard confess the requirements. and
equip ourselves with all that may be
necessary to achieve success. We are
stacking up against those who know
the game and play it with skill.

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON,

The Old New.
New stars are now revealed, they say,
There, just beyond the milky way
Not new ones, If the facts are told.
Those stars are countless ages old.
Those outposts Of our universe
Make us no better and no worse
Than men and worlds have been before
Or will be for long ages more.
When human fancy has been caught
By something wonderful in thought
As discovery most strange.
Yet based on facts that cannot change.
Those distant stars in sparkling space
Have ever been each in its place.
Like truths which suddenly unfold.
We cali them new, when they are old!

LONE MAN HOLD OUT
UNDER HEAVY FIRE;
TWO men WOUNDED
(By United Press)

FOLLANSBEE, w. Va, Dec. Is
Two wounded men were placed in hos
pitfalls today following a spectacular
gun battle between state police, shel-
ifs, deputies and Joseph Jones, so.
More than 1900 shots were exchang-
ed before Jones finally was dislodged
from his home, where he had barri-
caded himself against arrest, following
his wife's complaint that he was
threatening her life.
When officers broke into the house
after Jones had ceased to return their
fire they found him unconscious from
loss of blood. The other wounded man
is Harry Jones, deputy sheriff, shot i'll
the first few minutes of the battle.
Go to investigate
Deputy Jones and Lee Chambers,
chief of police, went to the Jones
home last night to investigate com
plant by Mrs. Jones that her husband
threatened to kill her if she would not
deed him three houses she owned.
Jones opened fire from his front
porch, wounding deputy Harry Jones
Returning to headquarters Chief
Chambers got six more deputies and
two state police to assist in capturing
Jones. They went back to the house
armed with ten riot guns and revol
vers. The firing lasted several hours
The house was virtually wrecked by
the incessant firing.

REPORTED WRECKAGE
seen ON LAKE ERIE
BELIEVED TO BE TUG
(By Associated Press)
nv Associated Pressl

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 28.-There
was an air of expectancy here today,
pending receipt of a report from a tug
ordered sent from Erie, Pa, by the
Great Lakes Towing company, to view
wreckage reported having been seen
in Lake Erie near that city yesterday
The derelict is believed TO be that of
the tug Cornell, which with seven
members of her crew, has been mis-
sing a week.
Two ayiatorS from the air mail
field here reported late yesterday that
they had sighted what appeared to be
the hull of a boat half mile from
shore five miles east of Erie Be
cause of the blackened appearance OF
the craft the airmen believe the dere-
hct is that of vessel which went
down as a result of an explosion or
fire. The machines were flying at an
altitude of between 300 and 400 feet,
because of a fog and the pilots declare
they saw boilers and machinery above
the water.
Wreckage Not Seen
The wreckage had not been sighted
by tugs or power boats which have
been searching since Monday for some
/ trace of the Cornell The vessel dis
appeared mysteriously while en- route
/ from here to Buffalo to be delivered
to Syracuse firm which had recently
! purchased her from the Great Lakes
| Towing company.
4 Despite the reports of the aviators.
H. E. Gilpin, president of the Great
Lakes company said that every foot of
the Canadian shore between Fort Col
borne and Long Point would also be
covered by searchers. 1t was between
these two places that the tug @. A
Gilmore picked up a hfeboat of the
Cornell Tuesday containing the frozen
body of Michael Paytosh, a fireman
on the Inflated craft.
Federal investigation of the lost
tugs condition previous to its depar-
ture from here last Thursday is being
made here and at Buffalo.
