~ WARRINGTON, May 10. The
city bridge over Pyles Fork, join

been ordered closed to traffic by

n foundation must be built before

new steel Orders must be pur-
chased, as the old supports nave

Children Born at Hospital.
Within Last Two Years
to Have Gala Day.

Cook Hospital Is preparing for
distinctly great time Friday,
sort of homecoming occasion for
the babies that have been born in
that Institution. The decision to
hayesthis celebration on Florence
Nightingale Day, which is Friday,
was a sudden one and every effort
is being made to reach all par;
ents of children who were born in
Cooks within the past two years.
Invitations are being issued
frantically, for. there are dozens OF
them to be extended, and many
parents have moved from former
addresses and are difficult to To-
cate If any are not notified by
the committee in charge of this
cause the members do not know
how to locate them, and all par
ents who read this article must
consider it an urgent invitation to
bring their Cook children to Cook
Hospital on Friday afternoon at
3 O'Clock.
Numbers of parents have all
ready responded to the invitations
and it looks as it the occasion
would be successful beyond any
thing the committee hoped. One
pair of twins who first raised their
voices in Cooks will be present
and there are other twin babies
yet to be heard from.
In the nursery at the hospital
are five wee babies who have never
left the institution, having only
just arrived there. It is hardly
likely that these five will be in the
receiving, line to welcome their
brothers and sisters who formerly
resided at Cooks, but it is quite
possible that their welcoming
chorus may be heard by the visi-
tors, especially if the hour is near
mea1time. the hospital committee
states.
This Homecoming day for
babies born in hospitals will like
ly be observed throughout the
state next year, but this year it is
solely a Cook Hospital innovation.
It will be a remarkable sight to
see the many babies assembled at
the institution who weer first car
ed for and tenderly watched over
by the nurses there.
The first baby born in Cook Hos.
3pital was the son of Mr.. ana Mrs.
Lawrence Hennen, who was born
there in 1901.

SAYS LABOR-CAPITAL
WAR DOES NOT EXIST
Chairman OF Railroad Labor
Board Urges Use of Com
nonsense.

TORONTO, Ont. May Doom
bined common-se9sc and justice to
all persons concerned in railroad
labor disputes will be the means
of a solution of every problem
affecting the relations Of railroads
and their employees. Ben W. Hoop
err, chairman Of the United states
Railroad Labor Board, said TO-DAY
before members of the Brother
hood Of Railway Trainmen in trl-
ennial convention
81 am increasingly impressed
with the dominant importance OF
the human element in all labor
controversies" he said, There
can in reality be no such thing as
conflict between capital and labor.
Capital is only the accumulated
results of labor. The capital of
today is the labor of yesterday.
There may be a controversy be-
tween the man who furnishes the
labor of yesterday and the man
who contributes the labor OF to-
day. This is merely contest be-
tween man and man, and not be-
tween the laboring man and some
gigantic ogre as the soap-box
orator vigorously proclaims.
ga, railroad organization can do
itself no greater wrong than to
become so engrossed in the pur-
suits of its own ends as to forget
the rights of the employe and 1s-
more the interests of the publlc.
The object of your organization is
to secure all that belongs to the
labor men and no more.
'.Critics in haste and ignorance
sometimes compare the wages of
men in transportation service with
classes of labor of comparatively
little skill, hazard or responsible
ity. The task of the labor board is
a difficult one With insufficient
powers it is supposed to work
wonders"

MAY PROCESSION
SPLENDID CEREMONY
sunday School Children Have
Annual May Program.

MANN1NGToN, May 1o.-The
FIRST, May procession Of the Sun
day school children Of St. Pat.
rick's church parish was held
Sunday evening following Gus
tom common for several years. 1t
was a very beautiful and impress
sieve ceremony.
Nearly forty Sunday school
girls. dressed in white with white
wells and floral wreaths, formed
the procession and marched in pes
feet order through the different ais
les OF the church and into the sane
tuary. In the sanctuary Miss
Mabel Wilson, who had been selee-
ted by the children as May Queen
crowned the statute Of the Blessed
Virgin with beautiful floral
wreath All during the procession
the children sang May hymns In
a very creditab1e manner. For th.s
part of the ceremony great cred1t
is due Mrs Clarence Jones who
presided at the organ, and w
Mrs. C. w. Busby and Miss Sarah
Gaughan, who trained the children
for this occasion.
The church was filled to
capacity, there being quite NUM-
her OF non-catholics in the audi
ence. The Rector, Father kluser.
gave a very interesting discourse
on the difference between the honor
and veneration Catholics give the
Blessed Virgin and the worship ana
alteration given to God, which ne
said is immensely different.
The ceremony closed with the
benediction Of the blessed sacra-
ment and the singing of Holy Coo.
