The Public Thinks ;. .

, and made me ponder and wonder
what it was all about. / asked
myself the question, "How can he
do it,"
AS / began to think these things
over three questions came up to
me for answering. (1) Why did he
think it was a white mans job?
(2) Who was he going to get to
do it for nothing? and (3) Why
did he turn down a proposition like
this that meant thousands of dol
lars per year to him?
Nobody would answer these
questions for me so I went to Lo-
cal 665 and asked for hotel con-
tract. In this contract I found the
answer to at least one of the ques-
tons. The man who was going to
get the organizing done for moth
ing was trying to get all the rest
of the work done for as near to
nothing as he could.
After 1 got the hotel contract
1 received permission to attend the
Local Joint Board. I found the
members to be a very fine group
of men. After looking the con-
tract over I found that we were
not being paid according to it. No,
not by far. IN, yg..
To correct this evil I tried to
get help on the inside of the labor
movement to do it but I could not,
so I went outside and got the prop
er help. The result was that we
recovered part of our back pay,
which was three thousand and five
hundred dollars ($3,5O0).
Now this story has been pub
lished before, but I think that too
much fuss was made over the lit
tie three thousand and five hun
dred dollars in back pay that we
recovered and nothing was said
about the over eight thousand dol
lars we lost in the last two years.
At one of the meetings, a young
man asked me why was so quiet.
The truth of the matter was I was
thinking of what we had lost and
could not rejoice over the little
we had gained. .
In conclusion I will say that
entered this fight to get greater
security for our group and we have
not failed, although we haven't sue
ceeded in all the things we at
tempted to do. I have greater as
surance and confidence that if the
railroad men and other groups lean
toward one another and work to-
gether that we will be able to do
many things in the near future.
have not mentioned any names
but I have you all in mind and
heartily thank you for your Coop
Grafton in last years work.
Yours sincerely,

CEDRIC ADAMS EXAGGER-
ATED, RIDLEY SAYS
May IA, 1910

Sir:
Editor: The romantic exaggera-
ton of some possibly well-mean-
ing people is remarkable. Cedric
Adams of the Minneapolis Star
Journal recently reported that the
salary of DR.. Malcolm MacLean,
newly elected president of Hamp-
ton Institute, would be around
500, 900 a year and that he will live
on an old Southern plantation fur
nished by the school.
In order that we might know
the truth I wish to report the
facts. The salary of DR.. MacLean
will be $4,000 a year, a low-medium
college presidents salary. The
plantation of which Mr.. Adams
speaks, when I saw it last June,
could be encircled by tying a 100
foot string on a peg in the center
of it and drawing a circle.
Personally I think Hampton is
fortunate in getting a man of the
knowledge, character and produc-
tive experience of DIR. MacLean as
it's head. On the other hand / feel
that the fact that he goes to Hamp-
ton at salary not much greater
than the one he is receiving at the
University of Minnesota possibly
will lead us to believe as we are
certain, that he is going to serve
the institution and humanity rather
than to draw a large salary and
'loll around on a plantation"

The time for coming was misun-
derstood. The baby took sick at
the last minute. There was a
wreck on the way. The alarm
didn't go off. They were waiting
for another fellow-worker.
And there is the business man
who is too slouchy to open his
place on time. Prospective Gus
toners will pass other stores to
come to his, and they are greeted
with a locked door or a silly, evil
be back in an hour"
This is the business man who
vents his spleen on the successful
merchant who opens on time and
closes on time. There is the type
of person who renders personal
service and accepts work to be
turned out at a certain time even
though he knows at the time that
it is humanity impossible to do so.
And the person who comes late
is always tired. He will puff and
blow and make many excuses, all
of which fall into thin air so far
as the attitude of others present
is concerned.
But the most pesty of all late
corners are those who come ian
hour late" to meetings. He feels
that even though he decided to
start getting ready to come to the
meeting when the chairman was
calling said confab to order, that
everything should stop when he
enters, that he should have a per-
sonal report of all that has gone
on, and then, even though the 9TH
ers had sense enough to come at
the appointed hour, nothing is
right and another hour should be
consumed by the late arrival in
showing just how smart he is"

No Children Killed

Naugatuck did not have child of school age killed in an auto acci- dent between the period rom April 1, 1895 to April 1, l940, Sergeant Anthony Farrar o fthe local police force told members of the high school safety and auto driving training class tlais afternoon ct the high school.
 There have been only l5 fatalities as the result of auto accidents here in the period from Jan. 1, 1880 te Jan. 1040, Sergt. Farrar said. A majority of these were pedestrians killed by autos, the speaker said.
 He also said that since a trafflc light was installed three years ago on North Main street, there has not been anybody hurt at that point.
 He told of the responsibility that results when one is driving, ex- plained police work after an &C., cident, and told of the necessity for stopping immediately after an accident, no matter how slight.
 He proved an interesting speaker and his talk was quite informative. He congratulated the Saety ocm. mittee of the Naugatuck Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors the classes, for their work in the safety campaign here.
