 Oficers of the independent" union whose names appear at the bcEtom of the placard are Frank Lockhart, chairman; Howard Branch, president and John Pilla, Secretary.
 When informed of a sentence which appears on the placard read- ing "to protect our interest from outside unions, organizers Phillip Btainard and Alex Cashin said to- day: ''protection for whom and from wiaat?". This statement is similar to one which was issued by Organ iber Brainard about four months ago when 1t first became known that these independent" unions were being formed. At that time the local organizers said, and they reiterated this statement today, that they were very puzzled as to where the money to finance a meet ing was coming from.

SOME BOY GENERALS

The unwilling of monument to Gen
eral Galusha Pennypacker in Philadelphia
on the 92nd anniversary of his birth, re-
called the fact that he was the youngest
officer of either side to reach the rank of
brigadier-general during the Civil War, he
having attained it when only % years old.
He enlisted at the age of 10, was a
brigadier-general the same year, having
been promoted for exceptional gallantry
in battle. He received wounds at Fort
Fisher from which he suffered during the
remainder of his life, but he lived until
1916.
Among the young generals of the
Confederacy were John H. Kelly of Ala
bama, Thomas M. Logan of South Caro-
lima and Felix Robinson of Texas, all of
whom became brigadier-general while in
their early twenties, and Joseph Wheeler
who was made a major-general at &c.
During the Revolution the rank of
major-general was conferred on Lafayette
by the Continental Congress when he was
only 10, but this was not an earned honor,
it being conferred because of Lafayette s
supposed influence in connection with
Frances aid to America.
1t is doubtful that such high rank will
be given youthful officers in future, be-
cause the exactions of modern warfare
are such that no one, however brilliant,
can fit himself for high comma and without
many years Of preparation

A SILLY RULING

In forbidding recital which the
noted girl prodigy, Ruth Slencynski, was
to have given in Philadelphia recently for
the benefit of the blind children of the
state, the Pennsylvania department of
labor reached new high in bureaucratic
stupidity.
The child artist is one of the most re-
markable pianists in America, and has
played before in Philadelphia, as well as
with symphony orchestras in other lead
ing cities. This is the first time, so far as
we are aware that labor laws have been
invoked to interfere with her appearances
in public
AS the Philadelphia Inquirer points
out, child labor laws were designed to
prevent the exploitation of poor children
in sweatshops at starvation wages Ruth
Slencynski is a musical genius, who took
New York by storm with her superb piano
playing at the age of eight. She has been
most carefully reared, and is not permitted
to overtax herself by too frequent public
appearances She does not come within
the class ofschildren which labor laws are
made to protect. AS the Inquirer further
says. s's So rssa4 s1aslsia as

FIRST OCEAN STE AMER

The Savannah. the fIRt ship to use
steam i'm crossing an ocean, left Savannah,
Ca, for Liverpool on May "a, 1919.
The Savannah was tiny vessel, only
90 feet long, equipped with both sail and
steam, and the voyage took 26 days While
approaching the English coast with smoke
rolling from her stack, observers signalled
TO shore that ship was on fire.
From Liverpool the Savannah went to
st. Petersburg, where the car is said to
have taken much interest in the pioneer
craft. A return trip to Savannah was sue
eessfully made but the vessel did not pay,
so her steam equipment was removed and
she was used as packet. The Savannah
foundered in heavy storm off Long Is
land few years later.
II is far cry from the little Savan-
aah to the ocean liners of the present, sew
eral of which exceed 900 feet in length
and have displacement of more than
$4,000 tons. But in spite of her diminu-
tive size the Savannah made maritime his
Tory and her feat marked the beginning
af new era in ocean navigation.
