The council also approved the
action Of the school board in refus-
ing to assist in the scheme to lower
the salaries and thus the standard of
the teachers in the local schools. The
Council took the stand that the city
wants the best teachers available and
that they should be properly compen-
stated and voted to back up the school
board in its efforts to attain those
ends. The schools are for the benefit
Of the rich and poor child alike. The
Council maintains that those who can
afford to go to private schools should
not have any advantage over those
compelled to attend the public
schools. While some Of the teachers
patronizing shops known to be an
tagonistic to Labor it is thought that
the action OF the school board, back

the error Of their ways.
The Carpenters and Joiners had a

Meriden are taking more active in
tcrest in the labor union movement
than ever before
Incidentally The Labor News is
making a hit here and the subscrip-
ton committee Of the c. L. L. is re-
porting fine results at every local
union meeting. There isn't any ques-
ton but it's the best paper in the state
and union men are beginning to real
ize it and give it their support.
The Retail Clerks union made a re-
quest to the meeting that their button
should be asked for. They also re-
ported that a committee had been
sent to the Evans & 10 cent store
to have the alterations there done by
union labor. The matter is yet in
committee.

WRECK ON w. NJ. RY.

Train service on the Western Mary
land was paralyzed Sunday when a
freight train was derailed about one
quarter of a mile from Gwynbrok sta
ton. Ten cars jumped the track and
several thrown across the second track
holding up traffic in both directions.
For several days past, the Western
Maryland had been operating its pas
senger trains on a single track due to
the presence of long line of grain
cars waiting to get into Port Coving-
ton. 1t was while another of these
trains loaded with corn was approach
ing Baltimore that it went off the
track.
The Elkins express had already left
Baltimore before news of the train
wreck reached Baltimore. The pas
senger train was halted when midway
between Arlington and Kirk, and after
a delay of nearly an hour the train
was run back to Arlington, where the
passengers detrained and returned to
the city. No one was injured.

1900 RABBITS FOR MARYLAND

The State Game Department will
distribute 5000 rabbits among the
counties this year. in addition to the
10000 Mexican quail, to replenish the
game stock of the state.
This is the first time that the de-
partment has ever distributed rabbits.
There was considerable demand for
them, however, from several of the
counties, where they had been slaugh-
tered heavily during the past cunning
season, so Warden LeCompte decided
to purchase a stock for distribution.
He has contracted for GOO snowshoe
rabbits from the Western Pennsylva-
MIA section, and 5000 cottontail rab
bits from the west. Both of these spe-
cies of rabbits are larger than those
which are found in Maryland.
Warden LeCompte wired DR.. Franz
Kent, who buys the Mexican quail foi
the department, not to ship any birds
to Maryland until later in the season
owing to the snow and bad weather.
The department had been notified that
some of the birds We're already in fu
migation on the border ready for ship
ment. AS a rule, these birds are not
shipped to Maryland until February o.
March. However, the trappers in the
Mexican states began working on THEN
contracts earlier this year.
Would it not be as well to place a
little restraint on the hunters by TAX
ing tuck in their game bag? This
would lessen the capacity, give the cot,
tontail a chance and save the State
Game Department the extra expense
of new stock.

NO "FLU" CRISIS
IN THIS COUNTY

Although reports are being received
daily of the outbreak and spread of
Spanish influenza elsewhere, there are
no signs of the epidemic in this county
according to the health officials.
County Health Officer DR.. H. r.
Fahrney stated that not single case
of the flu had been reported to date
from any section of the county and he
knew of no cases which even suggest
ed the flu.
He added that in spite of the fact
that the weather conditions during the
past month were tickle and of kind
that would ordinarily be expected to
breed la grippe, pneumonia and other
diseases. He said that there had been
no alarming increase in these forms of
sickness anywhere and no epidemic of
colds had been reported as existing in
any district in the county.
Health conditions in the county are
remarkably good, he said, except for
scattered cases of scarlet fever. Even
this does not exist in epidemic form
in any community.

EARTHQUAKE EXPLAINED

The huge fault" in the earth's
crust, which first occurred beneath San
Francisco during the memorable cat
astrophe of 1906, has become a few
hundred miles longer. This is the ex-
PLANTATION of DR.. Chester A. Reeds,
professor of geology and seismograph-
ic observer at the American Museum
of Natural History, for the violent
tremors of the earth which democrat
lied seismographs throughout Amer
lea and had scientists guessing" as to
their origin.
1.-THE earthquake took place at a
point beneath the bed of the Pacific
ocean about $50 mile west of Port
land, Oregon, and was an earth move
ment, a slipping along the fault plane,
known as the San Andreas rift" said
DR.. Reeds.
"In 1906 there was a marked earth
quake caused by shifting along this
plane, along the California coast from
San Francisco to Cape Mendocino in
a northwesterly course. 1t was a
further slipping along this fault which
caused the remarkable tremors of jan
uary 81, 1922"
The earthquake of 1906, said DR..
Reeds, was the first breach of the
earth's crust beneath San Francisco
Like a cracked window pane the
fault" is spreading in each direction
until now it extends from Southern
California northwestward beneath San
Francisco, along the coast until it
passes beneath the Pacific.
The seismograph at the American
Museum was one of the few in Amer
lea to Withstand the terrific shocks
which occurred for nearly three hours.
Of the record made by the wavering
needle, DIR. Reeds said, sit was the
most remarkable we have ever made"

ICE SKATING RINK

The Frederick Post has lately been
talking up" an artificial skating
pond" and the idea seems to be in d
fair way to bear fruit. OF course, the
weather man also has to be considered
and he is, sometimes, very uncertain
person. The Post of last Thursday
says:
"The only thing that stands in the
way of an outdoor skating rink for the
young people of Frederick is the in
ability up to the present to obtain
suitable place for the proposed skating
pond.
"The plan was to have one of the
city's fire engines go to level tract OF
ground in the city, to pump some wa
ter over the tract on some bitter cold
day and let the water freeze. At its
last meeting the Independent Hose
Company, at the request of its presi.
dent, Thomas A. Chapline, voted to do
nate the use of it's engine for such
purpose and also went on record as
favoring the project and as being will
ling to assist it in any way possible.
"The athletic grounds at the Boys
high school has been suggested as a
possible location for the rink but an
objection to this is the fact that it is
not certain that the ice would melt
and the moisture be evaporated soon
enough to enable the Cadet baseball
and track teams to practise on the
grounds early in the spring. Another
possible location would be that part OF
Freed's meadow off East Patrick
street, on the south side of Carroll
creek. This is fairly level and is used
only as play ground by boys of that
section of the city. Edwin Freed stat
ed yesterday that he is not the owner
of the meadow but does not believe
that the owner, whose name he de-
clined to furnish, would object to the
meadow being flooded for this purpose.
He will write to the owner at once, he
said, and if no objection is raised the
meadow will be offered for the pro-
posed skating rink and if the present
temperatures prevail there will be
skating on the proposed pond this win
ter"

SO-CALLED FULL CREW REG

THE PUBLIC

ULATlON Is COSTLY III
THE PUBLIC
TO THE GENERAL ASSEM-
BLY, OF MARYLAND:
The undersigned Railroad Com
panies, all operating in the State
of Maryland, join in petition to
your honorable body to act favor
ably on Senate Bill No. "A intro
duced by Hon. Walter Mitchell
which repeats the so-called full
crew law enacted in 1908. This
burdensome and wholly unneces-
sary law requires railroads to
man all freight trains of 80 or
more cars with crews of six men;
viz: Engineer, Fireman, Con
ductor and 2 Brakemen and
Flagman e Brakemen). This
crew comprises one more Brake
man than the railroads need.
The petitioners respectfully
urge the abolition Of this extra
Brakeman
BECAUSE, the employment OF this
useless Brakeman IL an unnecessary
burden on the railroads. and there,
fore, on the public, which after all
pays the bin" In 1919 the cost t, was
$314.eO4 in 1890 s4sd,s80. In 1921 10
year of business depresS on) So d.2s2,
a to al, during tha past three Yea 8.
OF $l,119,O78. During the lat ten
years this law has cost the Railroads
Operating In Maryland pp roIimately
IA a
return compensation.
BECAUSE. the extra Brakeman Ii
not needed in the operation Of trains.
The Federal Government requires au.
tomato cOuplers and air brakes on all
cars and prohibits the use Of hand
brakes on trains. Two brakemen are
sufficient Then why q third Brake
man?
BECAUSE. the railroads are vital
ly interested in the safe and economic
operation of trains, aud are fully
qualified to decide upon the size Of
the crews.
BECAUSE, this law places an un-
necessary burden on the railroads and
leads to high passenger and freight
rates. In which the public Is vitality
interested. Industry and trade must
be revived, which Is possible only by
removing unnecessary burdens and
lessening Of overhead charges. The
stringency of the times will be par
TALLY relieved by the repeal Of this
law. This repeal does not mean more
unemployment; 1t does mean the
transfer Of men from useless to useful
occupations in other departments,
where the money paid them will be
more profitably expended in repair
ing locomotives, cars. tracks, etc.
BECAUSE, Pennsylvania and other
states have repealed similar laws. The
West Virginia Legislature refused to
pass q bill enacting such a law. vir-
ginia and Delaware are without such
law. Therefore, Maryland, alone In
this group Of States, is hampered by
full crew law.
We, therefore. appeal to your hon
0rable body to repeal this burden
some and unnecessary law.
