Sinking Of BattIeship Maine
Appropriate Exercises To
Be Held At The Local
Cemetery This After
noon

In the United States today. and
in Cuba. ceremonies are being
held eommemoraiing the sinking
OF The U. S. BaiiIeship Maine.
which occurred 40 years ago. Feb
ruarr Is. 1888. and which resulted
in The loss of ESQ officers and men.
Despite two investigations held by
The United States. responsibility
for the catastrophe remains a
mystery.
Both investigations failed to re-
veal airy Of the causes Of the ex-
plosion. except that the tragedy
was caused by a mine. In the
minds of most Of America. long
inflamed over the proofs Of Span
ish misrule in Cuba. il was as
sumed that the Spaniards were
guilty of the responsibility for
sinking Of the ship.
Commanded by Captain Charles
Sigsbee. and with 26 officers and
go men, the Maine sailed from
this port on the afternoon of
January "a. Reaching Havana she
was taken into the harbor under
tae direction of a Spanish Pilot
and made fast to a government
buoy. The customary calls were
exchanged between Captain Sigs-
bee ADD the Spanish authorities.
Shorty before 10 O'Clock on the
night q FebzaU y phile the
uffice9z and cretH were on board,
the vessel was sent 70 the bot
tom BY an explosion, which, il
was shown at the investigations,
came without warning. Two Of
ficers and $50 men were killed
outright and eight died subse-
quently.
The cry of wrath in America
swelled and rolled over the land,
when the court Of inquiry over
which presided Admiral ". 7.
Sampson. expressed the opinion
that the Maine was destroyed by
the explosion Of submarine
mine. and not the result of an
accident on board the vessel. This
last theory had been expressed by
the Spaniards who held a super
fetal inquiry.
Remember The Maine became
the cry throughout the land, and
It was this slogan which Was car
Fied on the battle fields. and 10
which the war was fought.
Because OF the inability Of the
Sampson coart 70 definitely fix

THE MASS UNIONS POWER

: Clashes occur even between craft and craft, as to which group shall have jurisdiction" over certain workers, but the rise of CIO has in- . tensified the differences mainly be- : tween industrial and craft unions. Their bitterness has filled acres of headlines with reports of broken heads, disrupted industry and stag | gering wage losses.
 ! To the layman such fights with in the family of labor may seem rank craziness. To him it appears that union members, instead of CO., operating in negotiations with en- ployers, fight among themselves, i thus weakening their own front and scuttling tn cir employers business. Yet to the man in overalls the reasons are persuasive enough To the old line craft unions the neW-arising industrial union ap- pears almost as nightmare There are more unslilled workers than skilled, so in any mass union or ganization, he skilled erafters would be outvoted That extends from the home union to the na- tional convention. Moreover, as the skilled workers see it, they might have to surrender some of ! their relatively higher scale of pay in order to pry upward the scale
 of the unskilled broom -wielders or semi-skilled assembly-line oper- ators.
 In turn, every such argument of
 the craft unions is countered by industrial union insistence that the mass labor organization is the more powerful negotiator in cer- tain industries, that the crafts mans wage level will be preserved at the same time his influence helps support claims of the less skilled.
 Those conditions, mingled with ! standing personal and craft jealousies, egged on at times by unwise leadership, form the bed rock of current difficulties.

conflicts. I1c 1irsi, and perhaps lesser, is the ambition of labor leaders. great and small. either to preserve their jobs, or to expand their power and influence. Nothing in that is necessarily foul ball. That ambition prevails from public dog catcher to private millionaire.
 The second, closely .interrelated with the first, is the clash between the two types of organization, the industrial union," encompassing every worker in plant. both skilled and unskilled, and the craft union," which seeks mem bers of similar skills such as car penters, machinists or electricians.
