the calling OF this strike, the waist and
skirt Manufacturers association only
numbered As members, employing only
5000 people, with only small per cent
OF the latter members of the union. Aft

joined the association, making total

signed, all Of these manufacturers will
come under the terms OF the new agree

ISOLATION. There is some little friction
in some quarters among the employees
relative to the agreement, but it is be-
lleved that the objections will be waived,
owing to the fact that the agreement is
considered a fairly good one. There are
$4,000 waist and skirt makers involved,
and large per cent. of these have re-
turned to work under the arrangement
arrived at, known now in the clothing
trades, in lieu of the word agreement, as

Labor organizations throughout the
east are to be requested to cooperate in
the organization of the labor section of
the woman suffrage pageant booked for
March B. The idea is to have the work
ing men, who will march in the parade,
indicative of the vast body of woman
wage earners, who are demanding equal
suffrage as means of obtaining legisla-
ton protecting them, their children and
their homes. Efforts are being made to
have present working women who are
employed in the factories and sweat
shops of the eastern section of the eoun-
try and arrangements to carry out this
program are in progress.

From time to time we have heard dis
cussions favorable and otherwise in ref
erenee TO the attitude of the church
toward the labor unions, and while we
are impressed with the truthfulness of
many Of the arguments, we have never
been able to bring ourselves to realize |
that the church, as such, was opposed to
the purpose Of the trade union move
ment.
True, we often find clergymen of great |
who are openly antagonistic to /
the trade union movement, but like !
fanatics in all other walks of life. their |
words do not carry much farther than
their voice, consequently their influence
ior the advancement or retarding Of the
,rade union movement is nil. However,

Postmater's Resignation Asked.

Washington, May 19:-The first
assistant Postmaster General has
called for the resignation of Mrs
Applet as postmistress at Manning,
because the inspectors report shows
that she is not attending to the of.
fee personally. This is carrying
out the policy recently announced
by the Postmaster General. that post
masters must give their personal at
tention to the business Of their Of
fees. 1t is stated that the resigna-
ton of Mrs Applet will be accepted,
if rendered Immediately.
For some little time the postof-
flee department has been conducting
quiet Investigations all over the
country to see if postmasters are
paying the proper personal attention
to their work, and it is likely that
there will be a good many other
cases similar to that at Manning.

Grateful Showers--Anent the Dis

Benson, May 20: Monday after
noon a most welcome rain came IN
this section refreshing the thirsty
earth. A good many farmers had
to plant their cotton the second time
and of course were anxiously await
ing this copious shower to germinate
the seed.
Last Sunday Rev j L Mullinix,
pastor of the Methodist church, spoke
to an unusually large attendance at
service. He read from the discip-
line used by this denomination Ger.
tain sections that are particularly
applicable to the male body of this
membership, or in fact any citizen
who is eligible to vote. This section
referred to the dispensary law. There
is a petition being carried around
asking for another election looking
to the re-establishment of a dispen-
sary in this county. MIR Mullinix
spoke in no uncertain terms of the
weakened persons who lack the
moral courage to endeavor to nip
this first step in the bud.

cants who expect to stand an exami.

Value of Good Roads.

Summarizing in paragraph some
of the advantages of good roads, a
set of resolutions adopted by an Illi-
nois good roads association says:
Improved roads mean better schools
and larger attendance, better health
and quicker transportation, better
farms and more cultivated land, bet
ter crops and cheaper transportation,
better economic conditions and more
producers, bette. social conditions
and less isolation, better church at
tendance and better citizens, better
postal service and closer friends, bet
ter business and more consumers,
better industries and more employ
ment, a better State and better ma
ton" These are all things quite
worth while. Good roads cost mon
ey, but the returns compensate for
the expenditure.

NAVY OFFICIALS SEEK
SALTS TO Rig NIAGARA.
Would Restore Perry's Flagohip to
Former Aspect, If Possible.

Officials of the navy are having a
search made for old salts who saw
service in the days when sails were
the main element Of propulsion and
are familiar with the technical details
of rigging the old time sailing vessels.
They are wanted by those in charge of
the Perry celebration to rig the famous
Niagara, recently raised out Of Lake
Erie.
The Niagara. which was used by
Captain Perry as his flagship in the
battle Of Lake Erie after the Lawrence
had been rendered useless In the fight
was alloweH to wear out in service in
stead of being preserved for future
generations. 1t was finally condemned
by board Of survey In 1926. sinking
soon afterward in Misery bay.
Under the supervision Of Lieutenant
w. L. Morrison Of Pennsylvania, the
Niagara is being put in repair for the
centenary OF the battle.

lakesit, was found that the starboard
side was gone to the point of the turn

apparently preserved the wood and
made each spike like knot.
The Niagara was a wooden brig con-
structed by Adam and Noah Brown Of

II feet inches and displacement of
about $50 tons. She was armed with
