FOLLY IN DEMAND FOR SHORT TRAINS MADE BY UNIONS Mltht Mst to Wen 1st tMrtry Ti litin Ti SiiltRi bits JM to Carts WMblngton, D. ; C To the public that pays every dollar of the railroad Mil (and tort -Are cents ot rei7 dol lr paid for .transportation Is for viges) the leaden of tho four brotherhood) of rally employees, who aro denundlnc Increased par, taf: "All the railroads hare to do to meet our ' demands for higher wages Is to shorten their trains, mors freight more, rapidly, and eccipo the penalty ot eTehftn wafes." -The fallacy of this statement, which is the laaVdlteh argbraeht' used in sopport of the demand for .Increased wage, is wall shown to the lot low tag editorial . .which appeared in th WaafclBStoo, D. C. Times of April 1, under the heading "A Mad Freight ffraln Idea:" "Everybody In the rank of th general public will agree with the railway managers that the umpafgii' which the railway workers are waa tng. particularly In the west, for sooti er trains, while at the same 4im de manding higher pay and fewer hoars of work, Ib of all posaible claims th .BMt nreposteroas. Indeed, In econom lm It U an ideal Utile short of mad. - The railroads have spent hun dreds of rolllons of dollars lowering 1V Um'jfatJig tbWf egrvju, ballasting roadbeds and . patting In heavy rails, so that . powerful loco motives, larger cars, and longer trains could be handled " In one1 movement If this object had not been achieved railway wages never could'hare been advanced to the point at which they already have arrived and tratflc rate never could haw been held down where tbey are today without the whole railroad system of the Dnlted States being made a financial wreck. "Any child can see that If, after the principal railroads of the coun try Save been reconstructed to haul the heavier tonnage In mass, you est every freight train in half, the cost of operation must be laereased stu pendously, with two locomotives where one now does, with two engi neers where one now does, with two firemen where one now does,' with two conductors where one now does, with virtually two whole train cam where one now does, not to speak ot the new equipment and th new !r minal facilities that would be needed. "This proposal i not essentially different from urging that the world go hack from, the, steamships ot to day to rhe sWl berks r of, iWirttftiM aato. from the railroads tHehfceivaa to the stsge coaches and 01 carta of tne past, ii is use suggesting that the farmer himself drive bis wagon-1 load of produce in email lots day af ter day to the distant market of th ritw instead of loadinc it In hulk Inta freight cars and shipping It ail at one bpr rail" .

Dr. GiH.rgo H CnWHll of Way- utsville, P. C. di-livried the principal address. He xpoke on the varions kinds of amaseuients our young people come ia con tact vith at the ordinary summer resort an.1 the very harmful eff ects that usually attend those who go to them. His business here was to rcpreseut the great sumuer resort of the Methodist church at Lake Junaluska now under development. Hut inso much as he had opportunity to address a congregation m&de up o f various denominations he sKl(e of the resorts of the Pres byterians at Monlie.it, The A. II. P's nt Winwood College, The Baptists at Ridgecrest and others out of the Ht.tte, in a general way, and more specifically of the Junaluska enterprise. Mr. Cro well insisted t hat in thrsi various resorts thecnurches were offer ing their young people, and old er ones as well, tie most whole some recreation and outiug that can lie Dad. He pointed out that it was the duty and the plan of the various denominations to orovido resorts 'That would beat the devil" in attracting our young people. Ho sttted that the devil was making his places of bin and devilment mo'-e and more attractive. Fe cited the fact -that Couey IV,and had pro vit'ed a rest room for drunks in stead of putting them in the lock -up as formerly. Our young ,iCOple are going somewhere for rest, recreation, aud amusement, if the church dosn't attract them thedevil will, was l.iscouclusion. At the close of the lecture by Dr. Crowel I Kcv. f. E. Berry hill, pastor ol tho Presbyterian church, arosn an J endorsed what Dr. Crowcil had said, and stated that these evils winch he hud pointed out on a large scale xerr being operated tight in Kings Mountain on a minor scale. He referred to the constant recur rent cf shows in town and con demned them most emphatically. Rev. G. L. Kerr, pastor of the A. R. P. church, arose and spoKe in very strong terms against the shows and said that "If the town can't exist without them, let's pull down the town and sow it in peas." Pastor E. O. Colo ol the Methodist church then took the floor in suppoit of what had been said aud added a fw hot shots to the many missiles that bad beeu hurled at the devil. It seemed to be the opinion of those present that the devil jjst didn't enjoy the meeting at all. Dr. C 'owcll is an able speaker and a great reasoner. He is not a preacher, but a life time school teachei. Ur.til about a year aro he had been President of the Ep worth University, Oklahoma City, for ten year. He resigned that position for a rest and is now engagad iu the Junaluska p-ojeet.
