To the Idea

According to information given out
by J. f. Council, superintendent of
1.-The Lakeland division of the Atlantic
Coast Line, two nearby towns have
approached the Coast Line with prop
ositions for the removal of the shops
from Lakeland.
These towns, seeing in the present
disturbance here an argument for the
transpianting of the shops, are max
ling use of The opportunity to present
their claims to the railroad 1t is
pointed cut that, taking the shops
from Lakeland would be moving
them away from the two hundred
strikers, 10 a presumably safer place.
Other considerations are presented to
make the proposals attractive.
Mr.. Council, while he has agreed to
a conference with the Representatives
of one Of these towns, does net at
present favor the removal of the
shops, which would be a considerable
expense to the railroad and severe
blow to Lakeland, where Mr.. Council
has been a resident and property
owner for many years.

erty interests of the Coast Line should

citizens generally and the union men
themselves, most of whom are prop
Ierty owners, should do all in their
power to keep down disturbances,
which may hurt the reputation of the
city, iniure the kindly feeling of the
Goa st Line for this city, and after all
have no effect on ending the strike.

The Community Welfare League OF
Lakeland which was organized some
time ago for the purpose of uniting
the forces Of the city in doing We'll
fare work has proved to be a success.
All of the plans of the League has
no. been accomplished yet owing to
the fact that the organization has
been without director for several
months, but since the arrival of G.
Z. Bennett from Rome, Ga, who has
taken charge Of the work as director
OF the League the plans for the diff
ferent lines OF work are fast develop
inE and in the near future all of the
activities of welfare work will be
carried out to the letter.
The executive board of the Welfare
League is composed of one represen-
tatiye from each OF 26 organizations
Of the city which directs the activi-
ties of the league.
Boy Scouts.
During the past ten months the
Boy Scout work in this city has been
on the decline on account of being
wj.hout proper council organization,
while the Boy Scouts work is under
the Welfare League, yet they have
their own council organization which
is responsible for the carrying out
of the scout program.
The Welfare League director is also
the Boy Scout executive and since
his arrival in the city the council
has been re-organized and registered
1T The National Boy Scout headquar-
tiers which will pace scouts and
troops that are registered in good
standing with the national council
At the first meeting of the Welfare
League board it was decided that the
first wor kOf the new director was
to begin the reorganization of the
Boy Scouts in the city. Upon inves-
tigation it was found that only two
Of the six troops that had been, organ
lied here were properly registered
at national headquarters. There has
been several meetings Of the scout
leaders held recently and there is at
the present tiI3e eight troops under
way of organization. The Elks lodge
and Rotary club have both offered to
sponsor troops Of scouts. the other
troops will be cnnected with the diff
ferent churches of the city.
Red Cross.
One OF the established works of
the Welfaref League is that of the
Red Cross department.. Through the
home service secretary of the Red
Cross excellent work is being accom-
plished among the poor of the city as
we'll as, the service that is given to
the ex-seryice men of the late war.
Every day a number OF cases are be-

ment of the league work.
One case that deserves special men,
