Mother" The speaker mentioned the OBJ
iect of the day. then proceeded to call at
tention to the highest authority who gave
commandment that we should reverence
our parents, the reasons therefore, ana

the Divine injunction. A good congrega-

score 10 to in favor of Lewiston, as
above noted.
The Gardiner boys had not had as
good an opportunity for practice az
might be wished, and f. Moore was
wild, but let only one man walk and
struck out six. Eldridge behind the

Paris, May 9-Conditions are rather
favorable for the government in it's
controversy with the postal employees
and it is not thought likely that a
strike will be declared at present. The
governments firmness has made a deep
impression on the rank and file and
the leaders of the strike movement may
conclude to postpone the battle until
they are better organized and prepared
for what would prove to be a hard
struggle. a.
A meeting called for today by the
federal committee was attended by
about 1000, but no great enthusiasm
was snown. A resolution was adopted
to go out at the word of command in
the fight for the reinstatement of the
dismissed employees and for complete
reform in the postal service. Delegate
Mccarthy, representing the English
posta, employees, gave assurance of the
financial and moral support of their
English colleagues. He concluded his
speech by shouting: *Vive LIE France.
