CAR men VOTE
FOR ACCEPTING !
FORMER WAGES
almost Unanimous Agreement for
55.eent Scale; Contracts to
Be Signed Soon.

Unanimous vote of the daylight
nrce of street car men was cast in
acceptance of theTri-City Railway
eompanys offer of renewal of the
present 55-cent wage scale, last
evening in the Rock Island Indus
trial home. AS the night shift had
voted favorably on the proposition
IN the morning meeting, last nights
vote amounted TO settlement of the
wage scale.
Because of the absence of B. ].
Denman. president of the company.
the new wage and working agree
ment will not be signed today. The
signing will take place soon, and
there are no other points of differ
ence to postpone that act any lon
ger.
The unanimous vote cast last
night was no surprise to leaders of
the men. Renewal of the 55-cent
wage is a fair proposition at this
time. they say. The few dissenters
among the night shift who voted in
the morning were new men, while
the daylight men voting last night
were practically all veterans on the
job.
BallO.S Not Counted.
More than 200 men attended last
nights meeting The proposition
was presented by members of the
Joint executive committee, and the
men voted with but little discus
sion. The ballots were not counted

lighted pipe in their mouths. The
hospitals and the undertakers are the

this.
The Rutland News has no record OF
fatalities this year in Vermont from
burns due entirely 70 carelessness, but
reports from various parts OF the state
indicate that there has been an excep-
tionally large number of persons who
have no one except themselves to blame
for their accidents by fire. In the past
week three women have been severely
injured from pouring kerosene on the
kitchen fire, one Of them fatally, and
two men are in hospitals as the re-
suit of going to sleep while smoking.
New York and Boston authorizes
are having their hands full as the re-
suit of the crime wave that IS rampant
in those cities. Vermont authorities
are busy trying to prevent fires
and have succeeded. to a large extent
in making real fire protection a fact
where buildings are concerned. Per
sons, apparently must learn by exper.
fence. Perhaps it might be well to put
a placard on the back of each person
when he energies from the hospita
where he has gone to be cured of self
inflicted burns, and make him wear 4

It is said that the New York stock

show the drift of affairs in the nation
about six months prior to the develop

cal illness Of John Mccormack. II Is q
relief to know that the crisis mas
passed. but there will be anxiety

at hest il win be months before he can
sing again.
His case will be likely to cause
n vigorous discussion Of the question
OF removoing tnsils. Mr.. McCormack's
refusal to permit this operation can
easily be understood; Nature gave
him a voice Of a million, and TO tamper
with IL by throat surgery was taking a
chance Of marring a perfect instru-
meut. The fact that he has almost
never had TO cancel an engagement IN
dicates, too, that his throat must be
normally healthy. On he other hand
those surgeons who see in the tonsils
only a trap for malignant germs VIII
point To his case as a confirmation OF
their view. 1t is a hard question to de.
eide. and doubly hard in the case OF
singers. though improved surgical
methods are greatly reducing the risk
of injury from the operation.

that N~ermonters might do to help the
state was to take a more active inter

way Of trying to interest them in stay

that the going away of the young peo

and that in many places no attempt was

The airplane collision at Quantico,
Va, in which three United States
army men lost their lives, al be readi-
" explained, as contrasted with that
collision of two airplane expresses near
Paris recently, with the resulting loss
of seven lives, one of whom was a for
mer Barre resident. The Quantico coll
lision was the result of m~anoeuvring
of army machines in a deliberate at
tempt to circumvent each other Tor
battle position, which manoeuvriDg
meant, of course, that the machines
would have to come in fairly close re-
lations. In the Paris disaster, the two
planes were flying entirely independ-
emily of each other and in straight
away fight, with nothing for the pi-
lots to do except to keep their motors
in operation and maintain a lookout
for the one in a thousand chance Of
collision. Even under atmospheric con
ditions of poor visibility it vas
strange, indeed, that the two pilots OF
the express airplanes could not have
avoided each other. In the Quantieo
case collision was always imminent
despite the skill of the operators, with
the machines flying about each other,
ascending or descending, going fore or
aft as the occasion seemed to demand
for strategical position. 1t is easy to
understand the Quantico accident. rhe
Paris collision remains much of an IN
explained matter.
