that of the union printers throughout
the United States, observed Memorial
day with appropriate services, assem-.
bling for that purpose in the beautiful
new Moose hall Sunday afternoon at
2'30 There was goOdly assemblage
when President I, V. McAdoo of the
Typographical union, announced the
purpose of the gathering and called
upon Rev. II, E. Marshall, who opened
the services with feeling invocation.
This was followed by song, "Death
Is Only a Dream" by a male quartet
consisting Of Ivan G.. Martin, Of the
Musicians union; Harry Meyer, Of the
Stage Mechanics union, and George
Snyder and Charles Knowland, of Capi.
tai Typographical union, all Of whom,
and their magnificent voices, are so
well known and thoroughly appreciated
and enjoyed, that the mention Of their
names is sufficient to convey the
knowledge that it was most perfectly
rendered.
Rev. II. f. Marshall delivered most
eloquent address on the subject "My
Brother" He told Of the splendid
work done by the unions. After re-
viewing conditions among the great
mass Of humanity, the working people
he showed that the answer to Cain's
question, Gam I my brothers keep

Marshall is an eloquent speaker, with
a deep resonant voice and his discourse
showed that he thinks deeply and un.
derstandingly. His address was a reve.
ation to many of the inner working Of
real helpfulness of unionism, and will
be remembered by all who had the
pleasure Of hearing him.
Miss Marie BOlinger gave a solo,

of the day-an address by Hon. P. II.
| 'Arcy, who learned the printing trade
in tho old Statesman office. He spoke
foelingly Of the old days, eloquontly Of
his old associates, and Of tho printer

length a review Of Salem newspaper
men, and printers, told OF those who
have set their last "tako,n and Of
those who remain, and whore they ars
and what they are doing. Among these
was the venerable banker, who, II was

most appropriate aud interesting ad-
