Engiand's textile industry has been

Looking a. the short, tight and
almost sleeveless garments one sees
worn by women now, one sees an
other grievance for the weaver said

COmmendatiOn and Criticism Handed
Out PrOmiscuOusly as Deemed
Just by Our Hired Man
LIGHTS ARE BUM

Our street lights in the business
district and around the public square
are far from satisfactory. Either
the juice of poor quality or we don't
get enough of it, and instead of i'm
proving, things seem to be getting
worse and worse. Probably the
equipment needs enlarging or i'm
proving.
1t looks too as if the business men
on West Church, between Third and
Fourth streets, who dug down into
their jeans and paid for the pur-
chase and installation of the beautiful
lighting system in that block, with
the understanding that the city would
thereafter maintain it, had been
buncoed and had invested in a first
class gold brick.
Look at the lighting standards
some night when you're down town.
and notice where each pillar origin
ally carried five lamps with beauti-
full uniform globes there is now a
struggling line of lamps, from one to
three to post, with all shapes and
varieties of shades, if there are any
at all, and naked lights and dead
lamps in the majority.
Truly the boys who paid their own
good money for this public improve
ment lost out on the deal.

WHACK AT SOLICITOR

Among the accustomed screedS
from the Mayor, which have become
so numerous and frequent that their
novelty has worn off and consequent
ly interest in them has abated, was
one. taking stab at the Solicitor,
which bobbed up at Monday nights
council meeting.
1t was intended as hot shot, but
it fell flat. In it His Honor endeav-
ored to resurrect the long ago set
tied street car franchise. He claim
ed dissatisfaction was prevalent
among property owners on streets
occupied by the traction company
and it was his duty to protect the
interests of his constituents, and that
inasmuch as "our present City Solic-
itor is entirely incompetent to serve
the citys best interests" he recon-
mended to forthwith employ proper
and competent legal assistance to re-
view the franchise and set it aside" Z"
This communication excited the ire
of some of the members, and a mo-
ton that it be not received, be not
filed and be not placed on record,
was adopted, without debate, by a
unanimous vote.

B. & O. VETS
MEETING OF OLD-TIMERS
AND AUXILIARY
A Gold Watch Presented to Veteran
Whose Record Is Sixty-Three
Years With the B. & o.

Every meeting of the Baltimore and
Auxiliary is an event where business
and good fellowship are distinguish
ing characteristics and where the
worries and trials of daily life are for
the time forgotten and real brotherly
love preVallS.e
The big meeting held last week was
striking example of this, for imme
diately after it had been called to or
der by President D. H. Moriarty,
Bro. Russell w. Kyle, the veteran
pumping engineer at Summit Station,
who was recently placed on the retir-
ed list after continuous service of
sixty-three years with the Baltimore
and Ohio company, was called upon
the carpet, and presented with a beau
tiful gold watch, chain and charm Civ
en- by the company management as a
token of appreciation of his many
years of faithful and efficient service
The presentation address was made
by Mr.. J. E. Fahy, superintendent of
the Newark Division, who spoke feel
ingly Of the esteem in which Mr..
Kyle is held by the company officials.
All this was entirely unexpected by
the recipient, who was for the mo-
ment completely knocked off his feet,
but he soon recovered and responded
in fitting manner.
Bros. S. R. Francis and c.. E. Nit
chell were them brought before Pres.
Morarty and presented with fifty
year gold service buttons, which were
pinned on their coats by Aunt
Mary the efficient and charming
young editor of the Baltimore and
Ohio Magazine, who had come all the
way from the Monumental City to be
present at this joyous occasion.
The transaction of general business
was then resumed and quickly dis
posed Of Splendid talks were given
by Superintendent Fahy, Miss Mar
garet Stevens ('Aunt Mary") and
Mrs. F. NJ. Howard, who has Just
been reelected Grand President of
the Ladies Auxiliary.
President Moriarty who represent
ed the Association at the grand meet
ing in Baltimor, read complete and
concise report of the business trans
acted during its two days session,
which received close attention and
was generously applauded.
AT the close of the Veterans meet
ing, Mrs. Hilfinger, vice president,
owing to the absence of the presi-
dent, Mrs. Moore, took the chair and
opened the Auxiliary meeting in reg
uat form
No time was wasted in dispatching
the business, perhaps owing to the
fact that the president, Mrs. Moore
who entered towards the end of the
meeting, announced that ice cream
was melting and demanded attention.
A regretable incident which occur
red during the meeting, was the sud
den fainting of Bro George L. Cross
which necessitated his removal to his
home on Church street. This threw
damper on the festivities, but his
many friends will be glad to learn
that he had fully recovered the next
morning.

Gals Alibi Is Sticky
From Sugar Winnings

Washington-Recognizing that the
American public is intensely suspici-
Gus of its taking commissioner Cul-
bertson, foe of the sugar tariff barons
and other commercial favorites, out of
the federal tariff commission, the
white house has issued an official
alibi 1t says that President Harding
left as bequest to his successor the
finding of a good diplomatic post for
Culbertson. Such job has only now
been discovered in Rumania.
Only after the sugar trust and Cool
idge were put on hot griddle by
La Toilette last summer for the sup
preston of Culbertson's proposal of a
reduction of the sugar tariff did Cool
Observation-Disclosures that Hard
ing had wanted him to do something
fine for Culbertson.
The reason Culbertson accepts the
diplomatic job is that he is being re-
fused re-appointment to the commits
sion, and is now in the minority there
anyhow.

Work Being Rushed on
A. I. U. Big Building

Columbus, O.-The great task of
sinking forty-four concrete columns to
the depth OF ll2 feet below the sur
face of the earth, as foundation for
the fifth highest building in world,
the new A. l. u. Building at Colum-
bus, Ohio, is practically completed.
The last caisson has been started and
is we'll on its way to its resting place
on the solid rock down deep in the
earth.
All winter long, regardless OF
weather, day and night, this work has
been carried on. At last the end is
at hand And~it is the prediction Of
the American Insurance Union, own
ers Of the building, that the rest of the
building operation will be carried on
even more rapidly than the founda-
ton work.
Already some of the great solid
steel plates, upon which will be placed
the upright columns, have been con-
creted in their places on the tops of
the caissons. The smallest of these
steel plates weighs very near to a ton.
Visitors to Columbus this summer
will have the opportunity of watch
ing the greatest construction opera
ton that has ever taken place in this
part of the country. 1t will be well
worth trip to watch a seventy-five
foot beam being swung around
through the air as easily as if it were

Hagen.

Goods for State Use
To Be Prison Made

Washington--The state-use convict
labor system as a remedy for the
evils of contract convict labor, was
ndorsed by the A. F. of l.. eXecu-
tive council, at its meeting at A. F.
of l.. headquarters.
The state-use system provides that
all products made in state penal in
stitutions shall be used exclusively by
that state and its political subdivi-
sions. None Of these products can be
placed on the market. A model bill
for the general establishment of the
system was approved by the council
and will be sent to trade unions in the
states affected
The council reaffirmed numerous
previous declarations that the COM
petition OF contract convict labor is
unjust to wage earners and their en-
plOyers.
An extensive campaign will be
launched to eliminate this evil. Con-
gress will be urged to pass a law pro-
vldlng that products OF convict labor
transported from one state to another
shall come under the laws of the for
mer as if the products had been man
ufactured therein. This will prevent
products made by contract convict
labor being sent into a state where the
state-use system prevails.
The educational campaign of the
A. f. of l.. and the union label de-
partment will include agitation for the
passage of these bills by state legis-
latures and congress

Urbana, O.-More than $4,000 gal
Ions of real beer contained in 1l13
kegs seized in a box car on the Penn

Sheriff Bosler and federal prohibition
agents, was poured down a sewer.
The shipment valued by the federal

Discovery of the true nature of the
contents came when two railroad en-
ployes attempted to move the kegs
and one of them sprang a leak
Federal agents at Columbus were
notified by the sheriff and accom-

declared it -four percent" The rail
