THE PUBLIC VS. STRIKE

The big maritime strike has been called The uncertainty of anticipation has given away to reality The die has been cast; the outcome no person can tell So far-reaching actions of this kind that not those in close touch, actually taking part in the deliberations, tell for certainty where they might eventually end. The fact that the gov ernment is taking active hand in the matter as representative of the general public and not on either side in the dispute encouraging sign that the difficulty will be ironed out and shipping again resumed in the normal manner soon.
 It may be as some have suggested a good thing to have the matter come to a head a large scale perhaps involving both coasts and the gulf ports. That is debatable question The clash between capital and labor, and in the last analysis that is exactly what this amounts to, is old one. The two forces have had many encounters in the past They will have many more in the future The out come of this strike not going to settle the age old controversy between capital and labor but it is that it may clear the air and bring the to basis of better understanding which absolutely necessary if we to do away with the terrific losses and ac- companying hardshps resulting from industrial strife
 History of the past reveals that strikes do not as rule settle anything Somebody makes point somebody loses and agreements are reached after lot of inconvenience which could just as well have been reached without an actual break. It may be expected that this strike will result little different from the others. Assistant Secretary of Labor Ed ward F McGrady probably ear-marked it about right when he called it sheer madness"
 MT McGrady implied, and rightly too that the strlke IS no compliment to the negotiating ability of ether the ship owners or labor leaders Despite the efforts of the government in behalf of the public an action has resulted which shows no consideration for the public that vast group of American citizens who are not in the transportation business or interested in labor union.
 Much is heard of government interference in busi- ness but who can that great consuming public look to TOT representation in this action except the government? Cry is made against government

HALLOWEEN FOR BOYS FROM SIX TO SIXTEEN

This comment is written for boys from six to 16 Those under six have not yet reached the point of maximum interest in Halloween and those over 16 should know better
 But for boys from six to 16 Halloween is an event year when you do pretty well as you please because Dad boy himself About Sunday night he'll tell you of some of the pranks he used to do when he was between six and 16 But he's keeping very silent until Halloween is because he knows that boys do not need any encouragement for to- night, and besides, they keep abreast of the times Some of us old boys still think it was pretty good trick to put the hind wheels in front on somebodys wagon put the neighbors buggy on top of the barn, but you youngsters live in the automobile age and you know lot of ones. The buggy and wagon around town are very nearly thing of the rast, but boys still boys from to 16.
 Tonight when you sally forth to do your pranks have good time. Run like heck when you see policeman coming but don't do anything you'll feel kind of ashamed about the next day It's not so bad to let the air out of tire but it's poor trick to slash the tire or in any way damage it. because it will cost money and inconvenience to have it fixed. That's what Chief of Police Roy Hoffman means when he says mo rough stuff" That is just enc example but you boys from six to 16 know scores of others. You know the difference between just plain meanness and Halloween trick Stick to the Halloween pranks which you know are not rough stuff"
 But shhhl We hope the Chief doesn't read this Go out and have good time tonight or this old writer is going to be mighty disappointed in young America from six to 16

Final Plans Made
For 1896 SoftballC Q

will be weakened by the loss OF
their star pitcher, Homer Cham
bers. who has signed to play with
Ben Hulse. The Maggie team Will
have a host of good hitters, how
ever, and if the produce men cah
obtain a pitcher Maggie will prob
ably take the honors again this
season.
Ben Hulse, managed by Ray
Forshey, will have a good defen-
sive ball club, with Chambers
chucking. The batting power of
the Tractor team will be weak,
however, and the Hulse team may
find the going tough.
Coca Cola is the most improved
club in the league as Manager
Birchfield has procured several new
players and has signed up the best
from last years team. With O'Brien
in the box again the Coca Cola
team will be right in the battle.
The chances OF the Laundry team
rest in the hands of Joe Hurst
pitcher and manager. If Joe can
pitch first class ball the cleaners
will make strong bid for the
