Well, Sir, if it were possible for in
animate things to undergo any sort
of feelings of embarrassment, GER
tainly sympathized with an automobile
which I saw proceeding slowly down
Market Street one day last week. 1t
was of a very well-known make and
very widely used.
But, it wouldn't run on its own pow
er: with that exception I suppose 1t
was all right. It was being towed by
a wrecker from local service station.
Now. of course, that may happen to
the best of cars. These gasoline mo-
tors are pesky things once in WHILE
They Just get cranky and they just
won't go, no matter how much you
crank 'em. So, I don't know whether
the poor thing had unusual cause for
blushing simply because it was at
one end of chain, with a wrecker at
the other.
But, painted on the window OF this
particular model of auto manufacture,
was this legend: eve turn out a
very superior article of automobile
or something to that effect. And
there it was and it was in no mood
to run. AS the late lamented Coolidge
would say, ~ do not care to run"
and the inability to run was not due
to any foreign complications-so far
as outward appearance would indicate
there was something the matter
with it's inside workings. So, mas
much as its helpless condition was in
such vivid contrast to its claim en-
blazoned on the window, wonder
ed if it were possible for that gas
wagon to feel slightly ashamed.
Now, you know, there are many
things in the heavens and upon the
earth that we mortals known nothing
about. They tell us the leaves of the
trees have means of communication;
they tell us the very stones do grow
and increase in size; we have heard
for ages about the Emusic of the
Spheres" which seems to have been
caught by the miracle of the radio
we wonder how the air supports tons
of weight in the soaring ship OF the
clouds; we stand in awe upon the
seashore and wonder what controls the
vast expanse of waters-who says

SHORE PACKING
COMPANY WITH
LOCAL ASSOC.
Phillips Packing Company Rec
Ognizes Cambridge Collective
Bargaining Agency
SUES CAMBRIDGE AND
COUNTY FOR DAMAGES

The Cambridge Workers Associa-
ton, recognized last week by Albanus
Phillips as the "sole collective" bar
gaining agency for employees at the
Phillips Packing Company has filed
incorporation papers with the State
Tax Commission.
The association was organized in
Cambridge recently during packing
company strike there. Its membership
is composed largely of Phillips COM
pany employees.
Phillips, president of the company
which employs approximately 1000
persons, refused before signing the as
ISOLATION contract to recognize either
the A. F. of l.. or the C. I. o. as the
employees bargaining agency.
The Company, invoking an old law
unused since the Civil War, has filed
claims against Dorchester county and
the City of Cambridge for more than
$65, 900, which the company claims it
lost during the recent strike at it's
six plants. The plants were closed for
nearly two weeks and the claims in
clude items for salary lost by execu-
tives and for loss of trucks which
were overturned during the rioting.
In formal suits filed with the Clerk
of Dorchester County Clerk of the
Court, the Phillips Company is asking
$50, 1892 from the county. The Phillips
Transport Company, trucking COM
pany asked 100000 from the county.
In addition the Packing Company ask
ed approximately $14,O0O.OO from the
City of Cambridge. No date has been
set for any of the hearings.
The company contends the damages
resulted because of violence on the
part of strikers during the walkout
of two weeks. The strike ended more
than week ago when the company
reopened it's plants, gave a ten pei
cent raise but refused to recognize
any union.
The law under which the claims
were filed states that if any proper.
ty is taken away or destroyed "by any
riotous or tumultous assemblage OF
people," the full amount may be re-
covered by suit against the city OF
county. It also provides that dam.
ages shall not be recovered unless the
authorities "shall have good reason
to believe that such riot or tumultous
assemblage was about to take place,
or "shall have notice of the same iI
time to prevent said injury or destruc.
ton, either by its own police or with
the aid of citizens"
The strike in question began with.
out any national labor organization
being involved. However, the Ameri'
can Federation of Labor sent an or.
ganizer to the scene and negotiations
were conducted through the A. F. Of
L.
The law has only been invoked
twice, once by a Baltimore firm anC
once by a company in Washington
county. One case was settled by the
Court of Appeals in 1866 and the 9th.
er in 1872.

RALPH R. DENNIS
DIES SUDDENLY
AT OCEAN CITY
Succumbs After Over-ExertiOn
With Fire Department At
A Hotel Fire
WAS MEMBER OF THE
MARYLAND LEGISLATURE

On Saturday night last, about 1880,
the fire siren sounded at Ocean City,
Md. The scene of the fire was the
George Washington Hotel, where it
was found the chimney was on fire.
The volunteer company was led to the
hotel by the Chief, Ralph Dennis, who
has been chief for the past 101s years.
Rather than have some of the men
climb the fire escape with the hose,
he elected to do the duty himself, fol-
lowing out his usual procedure. He
climbed four flights up with the hose
slung over his back.
Once on the roof where the blaz-
ing chimney was shooting out sparks,
he started playing the hose down the
chimney. The fire subsidized enough
for him to peer down the chimney to
see if any further evidence Of fire
was left. Huge volumes of smoke
poured out, choking Mr.. Dennis, and
causing him to have violent cough
ing fit. Other firemen took the hose
from him, and told him to go down.
Upon reaching his store next to
the post office he complained Of feel
ing ill. DR.. F. j. Townsend was called
and seeing the condition of Mr.. Dem
mis- was alarming, called in consulta-
ton, DIR. Robert Bay from Baltimore,
who has summer cottage on the
boardwalk. Mr.. Dennis collapsed while
both physicians were examining him.
The violent coughing spell had rup-
tured blood vessel, which in turn.
had caused blood clot. Mr.. Dennis
died in the apartment above his store.
He was 40 years of age. He was
connected with the public schools OF
Worcester County for Ii years, teach
ing at Ocean City. He graduated
from the Ocean City school and Char
lotte Hall. Upon his resignation from
the school system, he opened the store
next to the post-office. He had been
a member of the State Legislature for
five terms. The first term was up
in 1926. Following, he was elected in
1880, and served until the time of his
death. He was postmaster of Ever
green Lodge, Berlin, Secretary of the
Berlin Ocean City Lions Club; men,
Der of the board of Governors of the
Chamber of Commerce.
While in the Legislature, he was
appointed Chairman of the Education
al Committee, and was directly re-
sponsible for the restoration of the
teachers salaries of the state. He was
fearless exponent of what he con-
sidered right, very conscientious, and
was not swayed by anyone's opinion
when he thought he was in the right.
His record in the Legislature is un-
blemished. He counted his friends by
the hundreds as was evidenced by the
large funeral he had on Tuesday.
A funeral service was held at his
home on Baltimore Avenue, conducted
by the Rev. R. Blair, the Presbyterian
minister at Ocean City. The funeral
was at 2:3O. He was inferred at his
birthplace, Newark, Md.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Thelma Dennis, a daughter Betsy
Jane; his mother, Mrs. Rev. Dennis;
two brothers, Guy and Shovel, two
sisters, Nellie and Mrs. Savannah Car
ey.

EPISCOPAL CLER|CS
HIT REMARR|AGE.
1900 Sign Petition Against
Any Change in Divorce
Attitude by Church.
Dy the Associated Press,


PROVIDENCE, R. l., October l.
A group of Episcopal clerics, said by
it's leaders to number more than 1900,
took its stand yesterday against any
modification of church law concerning
remarriage after divorce.
Rev Russell S. Hubbard. rector of
St. Martins Church, and Rev. Ber-
nard Iddings Bell, canon of st. Johns
Cathedral, both of Providence, an
nounced that petition declaring
marriage after divorce to be CON
trary to the law of our Lord Jesus
Christ" had been filed with the secre-
tary OF the House of Bishops and the
secretary of the House of Clerical
and Lay Deputies of the Episcopal
General Convention, convening Octo-
Der in Cincinnati.
The petition was described as "a
solemn protest against the conven-
tion's passing a canon permitting
marriage after divorce as recon-
mended by commission on marriage
problems. headed by Bishop Page of
Michigan -"
25 Per Cent of Clerics.
1t was declared to contain more
clerical signatures than any ever
presented to the General Conven-
tion"-or the names of substantially
25 per cent of all priests in the
Church.
The statement, in the nature of
manifesto, contained these four points:
Il. We firmly believe that for Chris
tian people marriage after divorce is
contrary to the law of our Lord Jesus
Christ, as declared in the gospels and
revealed by guidance of the Holy
Ghost during the long life of the
church.
We recognize that some scholars
think that this prohibition does not
apply to the innocent party in a di-
vorce secured on grounds of adultery
and, the matter being doubtful, we ad-
NIT that there may be legitimate ques-
tion about the right of the church to
bless remarriage in such cases, but in
no others.
Deny Right to Change.
20. We deny that any authority in
the Anglican communion has power to
change, by canon law or otherwise. the
teaching on this matter as given by
the Lord for the governance of Chris
tians.
''3. We are sure that the passage of
canons which in any way modify for
Christians the divine law in respect to
marriage after divorce will result in
the raising OF grave doubt, in the
minds of many, about the faithfulness
of the Anglican communion to its
Divine Master, and this to the grave
injury of the cause of Christ.
a. We request that, concerning the
solemnization of marriage after di-
vorce, only such action be taken as
will insure strict obedience, by all who
share communion in our church, to the
standard laid down by Jesus Christ
himself"
Bishops, 1t was announced, were not
asked to sign, but many insisted on so
doing, among them being Bishop Man
ming of New York, Bishop Bratton of
Mississippi. Bishop Wing Of Palm
Beach. Fla; Bishop Reifsnider of
Toxic and Bishop Rhinelander, for
merly of Philadelphia and now warden
of the College of Preachers at the

sented among the signers the an
