National guardsmen are greatly inter
ested In the recent action of a labor union
which expelled member because of his
being a soldier. Labor unionists are
startled and amazed at this interference
with a members rights as a private citi-
zen. No action by any organized body
has ever been so much discussed In ma
tlonal guard circles. Every guardsman
has prided himself upon his loyalty to
the flags Of the nation and the state upon
his public stand as a citizen in joining

be devil webs" This assault on these
dainty articles of feminine apparel was
made in the spring just at the time when
the sanguinary mosquito thirsting for
gore directed his energies to feminine
pedal extremities. 1t can be imagined
that the Rev Mr. Hume's attack was,
from the standpoint of the pew-renters,
untimely. When ones breath has almost
stopped by the thought of the extrava-
gance these devil webs have wrought,
1t is not agreeable to be denied the right

who belongs to the younger generation of
a family that has been closely identified
with the best interests of this city for
close on to 100 years. His uncle is Mr..
Morris K. Jesup, the president of the
Chamber of Commerce and of the Mu-
scum of Natural History; and he, himself,
has been a member for seventeen years
For close on to twenty years Mr.. Charles
M. Jesup has been connected with trust
companies and when the Eastern Trust
