Plow Prevents
Cranking of Truck

The Baker snow pillow, which was
purchased several weeks ago by the
county for such emergencies as that
of the last four weeks, has been of
no use whatever throughout the peri
cd of the blockade. II attaches to
the front Of a truck and the makers
guaranteed that II could be attached
TO any kind of one The arm of the
starting crank of the county's Pierce
Arrow truck proved to be too short
to extend out through the width of
the pillow, which prevented the truck
from being eranked with the pillow
attached.
A longer crank could have been
made here. but the commissioners
did not see fit to have 1t done.
The pillow can be used In any depth
of snow up to eighteen inches and Is
pronounced satisfactory in other re-
spects than the one detail. which APP
pears slight. but with the present
weather continuing 1t will be OF no
use for this winter. rs cost was
$500.
The caterpillar tractor is of little
use In road-breaking after a
fall. II works ahead OF the drag
and packs down the snow so that the
drag can scarcely remove It.

FIFTEEN CENT TAX RATE
FOR COUNTY ROAD WORK

A 15-eent tax levy for the White
Pine road fund was tentatively
agreed to Tuesday at the semi-month-
ly meeting of the county commits
sfoners, but other than that the tax
rate for the ensuing year was not
made up.
In teh discussion Ii was mentioned
by the commissioners hat the road
fund owes the general fund in round
figures the sum of 800, 600 and has
been a debtor to about that extent
for several years.
There is also a large program for
this years road work. which will take
a great deal of money. There was
considerable talk at the meeting CT
placing the rate at IL cents, but II
this would not yield enough funds
and the better way would be to fix
the rate high enough to take care of
the work to its completion or the
lines previously planned.
The commissioners brought up the
question of who was to pay for the
expenses of appealing the Williams
murder case TO the supreme court,
notice of which had just been given
by Attorney V. II. Vargas in the dis
trict court room across the hallway
from the board meeting. No one was
able to answer and the subject was
passed for the time. The county will
have TO pay the cost of the defense
in the district court, Mr.. Vargas hav-
ing been appointed by the court to
defend the woman on her plea of
being unable to employ a lawyer.
The board has under consideration
the matter of the management of the
White Pine fish hatchery for the year
and at its next meeting will discuss
te subject with A. c. Powell, who is
game warden and has charge of the
hatchery; also with Earl Mangum,
both of whom are understood to be
applicants for the position for the
ensuing year. The end the board is
seeking is to make the fish and game
administration self-sustaining. The
expenses last year were S~1,S25.s1,
with an income of about $500.
The use of an automobile by Coun-
ty Assessor j. F. Miles was discussed
and 1t is planned to arrive at a de-
eision at the next session. Mr.. Miles
submitted a proposal for the use of
a car at the rate of % cents a mile.
The board seeks to cut this to 20
cents and directed a further confer
ence with him to that end.
An appropriation of $3.50 for aid
of the Red Cross was made.
The bond of ID. c. Mcdonald as

NAVY YARD men
MAKE APPEAL
To DENNY
Secretary Declines to Com
noent, But Intervention Is
Believed Improbable.

In final drive to block the
idiculous and disappointing wage
ward Of the Navy Departmental
goard, appeal has been made to
Secretary OF the Navy DENLY by
Lodge No. ia, international Asso-
citation of Machinists. whose mem
hers are employed at the Washing
ton navy yard.
Declines to Talk.
The award is 'assailed as shat

communication signed by the Of
ficials Of Lodge No 174-Robert Il.

.rnent on the letter today or to indi-
cate whether he intended to- inter-
Yene and set rs de the findings Of
( he departmental board It is not,
probai3les he will do so. however.
!. THE decision of Assistant Sec
,retal'y Roosevelt to ! sustain the
board s award leads the mechanics
whom we represent to. the conclu
sion that the Navy Department has
no. treated the men justly nor in
accordance with the law says the
letter.
"Wage increases have been given
only in such localities as building
trades data has been accepted as
the basis of adjustment.
1.-THE result is absolutely ridicul-
Gus and disappointing and will not
tend to keep the men satisfied. The
morale of the men has been lowered
by this additional injustice as well
as the past performance OF the
department in discharging without
notice men long In the Government
employ. +.
Must Change Attitude.
ITO. gain the respect Fof the, men
and their cooperation for efficient
and maximum work, it Is evident to
even the least informed that the de-
partment must change it's attitude
toward it's employees. Nothing can
be accomplished with so little con-
sideration to human beings whose
past records are above reproach.
ITO the end that justice will be
dispensed, and the foregoing ideals
accomplished, we beg of you to re-
consider the recent wage award and
give to the men full credit in dollars
and cents what Is their due"
The machinists requested the de-
partmental board to set a 90-cent
hourly. rate for their work, but the
board set a 73-cent hourly rate. The
machinists based their claim on the
average scale of ten firms employ
ing machinists here.
Claim is made that local boards
ignored certain policies Of the Navy
Department in standing pat" on
their original recommendations after
they had been told that daily rates
of pay paid by outside firms should
be taken into consideration as well
as hourly rates. -

PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY TO
 CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS

On Friday, December ', the Theo- 'sophical society will present for the first time in Birmingham the kro- tone. service, a ritual especially ap- propriate to the time of the ap- preaching nativity. The service is a special mark of devotion to the Great Teacher who-came 2,000 years ago to bring the gospel of self-sacrifice to the world. It strikes the note of brotherhood, for which the Theoso>- phlcal society stands, in a singularly beautiful and impressive way and is dedicated especially to the Christ.
 There will be an address on "The Mystery of Divine Incarnation" in connection With the Krotona service The public is invited and it is hoped that this first effort on the part Of local Theosophists to give Birming- ham a service of this sort will do much to clear up any popular mis- conception as to the attitude of Theosophy toward religion and the church. The service will open promptly at S;15 at Cable hall (
