STRIKE CAN'T BE
USED TO VIO-
LATE CONTRACT

New York, June 27.-If a decision
by a supreme court jury in Justice
Burr's room is upheld, a business man
can not use a strike to evade con-
tract obligations unless he proves he
attempted to prevent the strike.
The case was a dispute between a
broker and a cotton goods manufac-
tler over the delivery of goods.
The manufacturer pleaded that a
strike in his mill relieved him of
responsibility, as his contract with
the broker provided for delays due to
flre, strikes or "other conditions be-
yond control"
On cross-examination it was shown
that the loom fixers had demanded
wage increases in the cotton mill
and asked for a conference two weeks
before the strike was called. The
management replied by taking away
the assistants to the loom fiXers. The
latter then suspended work.
In his charge to the jury, Justice
Burr called attention to he novel
questions involved, and asked for a
hnding as to whether the strike was
a matter beyond the control of the
manufacturer. The court said:
The strike clause does not mean
that whenever a strike is threatened
or occurs, the manufacturer may
abandon all effort to avert it and
fold his hands until such time as
lower wages may prevail or until such
ume as the strikers may give in"
The jury found that the strike was
not beyond control" of the manu-
facturer.

SHALL THE CITY
ASSUME DEBT OF
BURNHAM HOSPITAL

Recently the city commissioner:
s,nnipted July II as the date when
ne people Of Champaign shall vote
Ior or against taking over the in
ssbtedneSs of Burnham hospital and
sssame subsequent charge of the
hospital.
Two questions will probably appear
on the ballot wordsd something as
follows: Shall the city assume con-
fr1I and ownership of Burnham hos
p.tal?' "Shall the city vote a tax
.eyy Of three mills for payment of the
accrued indebtedness and future
maintenance of Burnham hospital :"
In the judgment of a few who have
studied the plan proposed by the
directors it will not be legal nor
advisable TO accept ownership and
possibility of the hospital as a
private institution. And not until the
hospital is actually accepted by the
debtedness be legal. This opinion
aas been freely expressed.
The plan proposed by the hospital
directors is TO the effect that in case
the citizens of Champaign vote favor
ably for a three mill tax the institu-
ton will be decided to the city.
Organized Labor Is opposed to the |
plan and has expressed its opinion |
at a recent meeting of the Federation. |
Tax levies are altogether too high to
warrant assuming an Indebtedness
that has accrued while the hospital
mas been under the management of a
private corporation. 1t is the opinion
of Organized Labor that the hospital
authorities should first free the insti-
tuition from debt and then deed ii 10
the city in order to avoid further
for its management.
The question as to whether the insti-
tuition would then be accepted by the
city would be legitimate question
10 consider.
The plan is meeting with much op-
position from all classes except those
sho are especially interested in be-
ng relieved of burden which is the
-esult Of their own management.
However, the commissioners have
lecided than an election shall be held
md maintain that sufficient num-
ler of names appeared on the petition
o necessitate calling an election. II

LIVE TOPICS
OF COUNTRY
A N ID TOW N

The Democrats decided to waive
controversies out Of their PLATFORM.
Two factions were strongly in evil
dence at the convention and created
the bitterest controversy known in
the history of national conventions.
Religion always creates contfo-
versy when two opposing factions
meet. 1t is most dangerous thing
to insert religious differences in party
politics, both for the sake of peace
and safety.
All parties have so far lodged the
live issues i'm politics or hedged in
such a manner as to effectively cover
their tracks. The report which ap-
pears elsewhere in these columns in
reference to the platform shows how
completely the people of the nation
are at the mercy of the politicians.
Both platforms read like an oracle
which may be interpreted in two or
thre ways, and finally ends in mean
ingless phrases.
A terrific storm struck along the
south short of Lake Erie late Sunday
afternoon devastating cities and
bringing death to several hundred
persons. The fatalities were report
ed to have reached the $50 mark
in few cities along the coast. The
extent of the damage to property was
immense. Buildings, bridges and
trees were leveled to the ground and
were carried long distances from their
original location.
As is the case with such storms
this hurricane descended almost
without warning creating a panic
throughout the devastated region.
Fortunately the wind remained high
enough in most localities to result in
unroofing the buildings, leaving chairs
and furniture untouched. Cities and
villages between Sandusky and Cleve-
land were the chief sufferers. 1t
was estimated that fully 1000 people
were injured.
This has been a season of storms
almost without parallel. In Cham
paign county the rainfall. has been
unprecedented. Not in any recent
season has the drainage system been
so congested with water. The sub
ways have been frequently filled to a
point where it became dangerous to
cross through them. The Boneyard
has been filled frequently to the
bridges and the flow of water has
spread over lots, particularly in Ur-
bana where the stream catches the
full drainage of both cities.
The condition of the present system
points to the need of more rapid ac-
ton in installing the drainage sys-
tenn which when completed will be
adequate to carry the flow Of water
rapidly from the lower elevations OF
Champaign.
Technicalities have held up the pro-
gress of the drainage plans which
should have been under construction
months ago. There should be some
way to get action started.
According to press reports boot
Logging is an added cause of help

fer not to work whenever they can

We have had pointed out to us

trary they are men who will get out

they can go back into the game.
Tom Taggart. noted Indiana poll
tician declared at the Democratic
national convention that he would
give a paw-paw banquet on the banks
of the Wabash to all the defeated
candidates.
Many of these candidates who were
fortunate enough to be defeated in the
race for nominations have never
tasted a paw paw. 1t will be a
unique banquet. :,
The candidates, however, should
study the characteristics of this fruit.
They are poisonous to many who have
tried to eat them, and result In a
swelling of the face and hands. Most
of the candidates by this time have
lost the natural swelling of the head
which comes to those who are named
as possibilities for office. A paw-paw
banquet might be a good method of
retrieving the swelling.
last Friday morning during the
heavy electrical storm which swept
over the Twin Cities a bath tub was
struck by lightning and the bath
room fixtures badly damaged.
No one was in the bathroom, but
if there had been an occupant death
would have been instantaneous. The
fixtures in a bathroom are grounded
much after the fashion of lightning
rods. Many people think that light
ming rods draw flashes from the sky.
Electricians however disagree with
this general opinion.
1t is however dangerous to be in
the vicinity of a ground wire when
lightning strikes.
Reports from the Democratic Ma
tional convention Wednesday morn
ing indicated that 30 ballots had been
cast with no further evidence Of
unity on the part of the delegates.
McAdoo continued to hold the lead,
but not at any time did any candidate
have a majority of the ballots cast.
The press reported a deadlock, and
a crowd of discouraged delegates,
who refused TO erase the lines drawn
in the early controversy, and it IS
considered probable that many will
be forced to retire before a nomina-
ton is announced.

thing for her and got her everything she
wanted me to- But once in a while she
would fiirt and look at other men and boys.
I told her We were married now and she
shouldn't do that.
We loved each other. I made her good
