nice easy way gave the attendance
a good hear, to heart talk on union
ism and what it will do for the
working men if they join their re.
spectiVe organizations He also
stated that there were some work.
ingmen who hesitate to join union
because they think that a cel tain
gang or click is running the labor
unions. He said in part that the
only way for these fellows TO do,
was 10 make application and get
into the union and help to see that
the gang does things right and
proper. He admitted that there
were such gangs in the unions and
that they were necessary to keep
things moving.
Mr. George Hill P esident CT the
Local Blrbei s Urion was the next
speaker called and his talk was we'll
taken and to the point. Mr.. Hill
is an able speaker and this is the
first time that he has ever been

Hills speach before the Metal
Trades was SO good that he will be
called upon in the near future to
again demonstrate his ability.
Several non union men handed
in their applications to the Metal

stitulionality of the Federal hours
of service law for railway telegraph
operators has been attacked in a
petition filed in the Supreme Cour,
by the ST. Louis Southwestern

review of its convictions for viola
ting the law. The railway had its
day operators work from Z a. M.
until noon, and after an hours res,
from ! p. m. to 6 p. m. with like

Chester Park.

The attractiveness of Cheste.
Park was never more emph asized
than it is just at the present time.
Constant improvement and adition
have given Chester the finest outlay
OF amusements that can be found
in any park outside of New York
or Atlantic City For its size,
Chester has more amusements to
the square foot than anv park in
the world. In fact, Manager Mar
tin has almost crowdsd d out the
patrons themselves. The bathing
beach can rightly be called one of
the real show places of this part of
the country as there is no oppor-
tuuity for bather to enjoy any
where else the sport that can be had
at Chester. Another big feature
of the park amusement is the free
vaudeville which is given twice
daily in the open house. The bill is
changed each week and next week
FIVE acts of promise will be given.
TIE vaudeville people are also
used In the cabaret, making this
pert of the park enter ainment one
of the most enjoyable on the
ground. Free band concerts and
free motion pictures are also lncIud-
ed in the program. For the col.-
venience IF the bathers who like to
get out early in the morning, the
gates are opened at o'clock in
the morning.

Government aundry.

Washington. June 20. The gov
ernment money laundry is in full
swing, the Treasury Department
having begun the operation of four
currency machines that are expected
to turn out daily 100. 900 washed
and ironed notes, which otherwise
would tie destroyed Simultaneous
with this experiment the question
of forbidding the washing Of money
because of the alleged danger of
conterfei,ing is being agitated in
Congress. 1t is asserted, however
that it is intention of the officials of
the Treasury Department to give the
machines fair trial, devoung par
ticular attention o the danger of
counterfeiting. A large number of
bankers throughout the country
have protested against the use of
these machines, declaring that the
washed currency is the counter
feiters' delight. The reason ad.
vanced for washing money is that
1t will save the government a half
million dollars or more yearly.
With the installation of these ma.
chimes it is stated that the depart
ment expects 10 reduce the wor king
force OF the Bureau OF Engraving
and Printing by 400 persons, prin-
cipally plate printers and their as
sistants.

AT last the political pot is boil
ing, and from all indications the
present weather will never be as
hot as the oncoming election. Up
to now we are told that there is 60
ing to be three tickets in the field
and probably four. We are going
to have Citizens S ticket, Socialist
ticket, Democratic ticket and prob
ably a Republican ticket. The
promoters of the Citizens ticket
say that it is the only way to de-
feat the Socialists. The Demo
Gratis say that this is a democratic
stronghold, the democrats are in the
msjority AID we need no citizen S
ticket. The socialists say that with
all the tickets in the field we will
pick the cherries, and the Republi
cans are trying to find a way to re-
habilitate their party. With all
these tickets in the fight it will sure
be some muss and all that we can
do is to wait aud see the fiuish.
