Golden RUE The Remedy.

VIII you please publish the following
In your paper:
The fundamental reason for labor
troubles is the desire to get rich The greed
of the employer drove the laboring man to
organize to escape slavery. The greed
and selfishness of the leaders of organ
lied labor, when they got the power,
caused them to make unreasonable de.
mandS.
We see a rich man run an automobile
when intoxicated. He il brought into
court and fined. He has plenty of money
so the fine, which poor man would find
hard to pay. is no punishment for the
rich one. The rich have their wine and
are not prosecuted Is it strange that
the poor are led to resist enforcement of
the law?
Labor and capital must work together
for the good of both. Where the en-
ployer has given the laborer share in
the profits or good pay for efficient work
there have been no strikes. When labor
and capital are at war the public has to
pay the bills. The remedy is for all to
practice the Golden Rule.

RECKLESS DRIVER PAYS se5.
Wayland Graves Of Greenfield Fined
Here Tuesday-Car Broke on Tele-
nbopa poIa

phone Pole.
In municipal court Tuesday forenoon
before Judge r. d. &c. Stowe, Maryland
5. Graves. of Greenfield, sMass., pleaded
guilty to the charge Of reckless driving of
an automobile on Aug. 8 on the West
Dummerston roat. judge Stowe fined
him 500 and costs of $685., which he
paid. Graves was accompanied on the
trip by w. 9. Abbott Of Bcrnardston
and a similar charge against him was mol
pressed by States Attorney Harold Il.
Whitney when the latter learned that
Abbott was not in any way responsible
for the accident. The two men were in
a car borrowed of Edward Mason of
Greenfield, but Graves had an operator
license.
States Attorney Whitney made a
statement to the court in which he said
Graves and Abbott were driving over the
West Dummerston road about midnight
near where the upper and lower roads
come together. The car left the road and
struck a telephone pole, cutting it off,
and then hit an elm tree, tearing out q
piece of-the tree. The telephone pole and
wires dropped down and later Fred o.
Bricn and others of West Dummerston
ran into the obstruction on their way
home from Brattleboro, as Graves and
Abbott drove on without giving any no.
ticc Of the obstruction. The O'Brien car
pulled over another pole, which fell on
the machine.
BY means of small fragment of an
Essex car which Sheriff Frank l.. Well
man picked up at the point of the acct
dent he traced the car to Wardsboro,
thence to Greenfield. He notified Graves
and Abbott to appear in court here,
which he says they agreed to do, but as
they did not show up Sheriff Wellman
went after them Monday and they came
without extradition papers.
Graves said he knew the car hit tree,
and he said he got out and looked the
car over and then drove on not knowing
that the machine hit any pole.

FELTON, SEES THREE
PROSPERITY FACTORS
LoWer Wages, LoWer Fuel
and More Traffic Needed.

Special Dispatch to THE New YoRK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-The prosperity of
the rail- Dads in 1929 will depend upon
reductions in wages and fuel prices and
an incrase in traffic, S. NJ. FELTON,. presi-
dent of the Chicago Great Western and
chairman of the Westerns presidents
committee on public relations, asserted
to-day.
THE railway arrangements are maxi
ing every reduction in expenses possible,
even to the extent of deferring mainte-
nance as much as safety of operation
will possibly permit" Mr.. FELTON, said.
Three things are needed to enable
the railways TO earn anything approach
ing q reasonable net return and at the
same time reduce rates: First. q reduc-
tion Of wages second. a reduction of the
cost of fuel. and third. an increase in
traffic" s~S stE
Eir. FELTON, said the average wage OF
railway employees is now 12t per cent
higher than in 1916, while the cost Of
living is only about SO per cent higher.

city. A sincere appreciation of this
privilege will be accompanied by keen
personal interest both in civic advance
ment and in the protection of the fair
name of the city from those who would
besnrch it,
During the last four years some OF
the newspapers, through misleading
statements of subtle appeal to the un-
thinking, have virtually extended invita-
tions to undesirable characters to come
to New York. At the same time this
tended to frighten away visitors. shop
pers, tourists and others. with resulting
loss of revenue to our business houses.
Let us trust that these papers. which
were SO sternly rebuked for their unwise
policy at the last election, may reform
with the New Year.
1.-THE truth about our city may be
violated by silence as well as falsehood
Good citizenship requires that we shall
not be Indifferent when our city Is
maligned and vilified. We cannot be
