SALT LAKE CITY CUTSTS SMOKE
 BY PER CENT
BY GLEN ROBERTSON United PresS Staff Correspondent

01 N46N 18O0G%4SOGN , United PresS Staff Correspondent
 Salt Lake City, Jan. 2i. = Salt Lake City has cut In half the dense pail Of smoke which hung last year oyer the city, to take it out of the ''S1nokiest city" category and put it nearer the fresh, wholesome place that Brigham Young envisioned when he founded the city nearly Q 100 years ego.
 Last year, william L. Butler, smoke control engineer, said, "We'1l lick 60 per cent of the smoke this year.n The outcome was even better than that. 1t was 6l per cent.
 For as long as most residents could remember, c blanket of smoke has shrouded the city. Housewives complained that clean sheets hang ing on the wash line over night were 'tattle-tale" gray next morning. Landlords said freshly painted houses lost their bright finish in Q single day. The chamber of cot1ls merce naourned that smoke was hiding the light of "the most beau- tifully situated city in the world" under Q bushel.
 City Well Laid Out
 The pail of dense smoke had not been in Brigham Young's plans. Under his direction, Salt Lake City streets were laid out on the square plan, with large blocks and wide, straight streets. The purpose was to let in sunshine and air. As Q beautiful, carefully planned city Salt Lake City rivaled Washington, D. 0.
 Industry came, however, and with factories came smoke, soot and dirt. Tn addition, the city was Q natural hnoke harbor, nestled as it was in rugged mountains 4,300 feet above sea level. The smoke settled instead of rising or blowing away.
 Soft Utah coal was no help. It was the chief source of fuel, and cleaner burning fuels could not be used As in such industrial cities as PittShfgh and St. Louis.
 Enforced Ordinance
 Butler and his staff of smoke control experts were called in when city officials, backed by on aroused public, enacted and enforced an antl-smoke ordinance.
 The engineers went quietly to work 6 year ego. They struck at the price sources of smoke. In the inc dustrial area they insisted that commercial heating plants be Sup- piled with stokers or otherwise coY1- 3orm to the city ordinance. New construction had to comply with rigid regulations regarding smoke control, and firing rules designed to eliminate smoke were strictly en- forced.
 Swatchyayds were a major source of snaoke trouble. Locomotives n1ov- ing slowly about the railroad yards constantly Spouted smoke geyers on their short runs. The smoke coa- trol experts insisted that Diesel locomotives, which do not smoke, be placed In operation. To o large extent this was done.
 we arc proceeding against the SmoGe nuisance despite adverse conditions created by the war," city ofsicials said. we may have to rec lax our rigid enforcement of the antissmoke ordinance, or even amend the law, but the campaign against smoke will continue"

Did you know that Mrs. White? There must be such wholesome con. ditions of employment aS will tend towards tranquility and content- nent: there must be such adequate protection of capital from the mem ace of the Agitator and the vote hunting politician that capital will seek larger and more exended fields of activity. Active capital, Mrs. White, spells high wages and steadier employment. Capital will not invest where politicians super wise its handling, nor when strikes and lockouts are constantly threat. ened. Idle dollars mean idle men.
 The criminal folly of quarreliny over wages and hours should be called the unpardonable sin. These are scientific questions and should be settled by Q simple rule of mathematics. With all the respect to those who think that wages should be regulated by the cost of living, q little thought will prove that the cost of living is regulated by wages. The higher the wages, the higher the cost of living, tenn porary variations due to over or under production excepted.
 When wages were $50 @ day a fine pair of shoes cost $500. If wages were $100.00 day Mrs. White the shoes would cost $200.0O. This same rule holds good with all ar- ticles of consumption. But between these two extremes, there is scien- tile wage that will be best for both worker and employer. When labor and capital learn that their inter- oStS are mutual. that they are partners, then we will get within Bhoating distance of this scientific wage.
 I have intelligence enough to know that the greatest friend and champion of the rights of labor is the ChuRch which gave to the world that ancient Faith you mentioned in your letter. In 1891 Leo XIII. one of the many great leaders of that ancient Faith gave to the world his encyciical on 'The Condition of Labor" Q document which was revolutionary in Q world which had divorced eli moral principles from industry. fEe insisted as also did Plus xf in his Quadragesimo Anno sReconstructing the Social Order" "that men we're not to bc used and squeezed dry of every possible ounce of energy and then cast on the scrap heap" At c time when labor unions were outlawed in almost every country of tho world. he inalatad. that the right to Or- ganize was q natural right of man. That ancient Faith you mention taught the poor slave and the rich master that they we're equal in the eyes cf dod. That ancient Faith educated tilo poor, and ik has pos tasted against its exploitation. That ancient Faith established houses of labor end learning, and towns ssliied abosit thslr great n1onakleg- t6s. That ancient Eaifh changed the status of the dave cf hasbarie

Christmas Lighting
To Be Curtailed

Christmas lighting decorations this
year will be confined to interior of
business establishments and homes.
The American people have been
asked to observe this ruling by the
office of War Utilities, to save cleo
tricity.
1t was pointed out that there was
no shortage of electricity but the saw
ing of this utility would mean a di-
rect savings of fuel, manpower, trans
portation and materials.
f. C. Kley, local West Maryland
Power company manager, stated that
he had received orders not to make
any electric connections for commun-
ity Christmas trees or other outside
lighting.
A. c, Spur, president of the Mon
ongahela system, emphasized that
there is no shortage of electricity but
urged the public to need what it used
since the present is no time for waste
of any sort.
No outside decorations of any kind
have been planned in Oakland, and
even the interior lighting plans will
be placed on a minimum basis, accord
ing to numerous citizens.
