YONKERS NES FORLEGAL FH ON HIHER FARES Citizens Will Raise Funds to Test Legality of Increase by Trolley Roads, (pecial Despateh to The YONKERS, April 1 of trolley fares in Yonkers from 6 to 10 cents and in some cases to 15 cents was vigorously condemned at a mass-mecting of the citizens of Yon- kers held here last night. Resolutions’ condemning the action of the Board or Aldermen and denouncing the high fares as unjust exactions were passed and a committee was formed to ar- range for a union of all the neighbor- hood organizations of the city to fight the increase, The committee was empowered to raise funds for the employment of legal talent to contest the right of the railroad company to increase the fares and it 1s probable that before they are put into effect on April 19 application will have been made for 4n injunction restraining the rall- roads, Many of those at the meeting declared they would be put off the cars rather than pay the additional fare, and all declared they would sue company every time they herease means a direct tax of 4 year on every commuter using rolley lines to the subway.

It is a precious privilege, and the body we regard as the dwelling place of the soul. To care for the body, then, is the most important thing in life. When the bodily processes become disarranged the Chiropractor sees the result, His business is to get after the cause and remove it. He finds it and fixes it, The Chiropractor considers ‘“dis- ease” as what it literally is, “not ease. He aims not to cure, but to restore “ease” and let nature do the curing. He uses no nostrums, no instruments, His equipment is a thorough knowledge of the human body, He works solely through readjustments of the bones of the spine, made with the hands alone — the “Chiropractic Thrust,” it is called—and preaches the gospel that the ordinary laws of health and hygiene must be obeyed to prevent conditions calling for the exercise of his skill. The word “Chiropractic” fs derived from a Greek word, “chiro,” a hand, and “practice,” signifying to do, It is the name of a science by which bodily conditions, inimical to health, are dis- pelled or prevented through readjust- ment of bones of the spine.

I mention this to . prove what I have been telling | you, that the Wilson & Co. or- ganization represents DEMOC- RACY OF WORK, which starts with the head and goes all through the ranks. One man is: as good as another in this organ- ization; one woman is as good as another; and both men and © women are on a basis of equality in the matter of recognition and reward for service well rend- ered.

I will never forget the great ovation Mr, McCann received on that occasion. He is @ very dramatic and very intense speaker. He had carefully prepared a speech, but after its delivery the large audience insisted on his con- tinuing to talk. TO HEAR MORE ABOUT HIS CRUSADE AGAINST FOODS. He talked for an hour longer, an then the audience consented to. his stopping only because it was time for lunch, but even then, they exacted a promise from him to rcsume at the afternoon session, He did speak again at the afternoon session and held his hearers spellbound for hours, .
