that officials OF the union were forced

them TO stop all work at the mines be-
cause there was then no adequate pro-
vision for preserving peace.
The resumption OF work under protec-
tion OF the state troops. to whom he paid
tribute. was told by MIR. Reese and
he said Il was due to the 'back-to-wovk'
movement initiated at the Calumet and

THORNTON AND ALLAN.

Richmond is fortunate In that in losing a
capable postmaster she gains one Of experience,
who was named for his ability to fulfill the
duties of his Office and not because of his DO.
ltical influence
In Edgar Allan, Jr.. Richmond has had a
postmaster who has devoted himself to his
duties conscicntiously and efficiently He has
made the Richmond office one of the model
Offices Of the country. Recently, during the
Christmas rush. he and his assistants handled
the heavy first class and parcel mall with OK
petition and In manner to bring commenda-
ton from ali who know Of the task before
them. The incident was but typical of what
has been done for years. 1t was because of
an excellent system and constant. unremitting
attention TO details that the office was pre-
pared for the extra work So In losing Mr.
Allan the Richmond postofflce loses an excellent
chief
But in gaining Mr.. Thornton Richmond gains
another man well qualified for the task Mr.
Thornton is a man of many years experience
In the postal business He has been In charge
Of Station OF the postofnce for twenty years
and during that time has fulfilled his duties
with such satisfaction that each succeeding ad.
ministration has refused to disturb him The
experience gained during these years will serve
the new postmaster IN good stead, and we can
look forward to another period of capable ad-
rninistration OF the Richmond postoffice
Another pleasing feature of Mr.. Thornton S
appointment was the absence of factional pol
titles in the making of his recommendation.
All factions of the party united in recommend
ing him TO Postmaster Burleson and In urging
his appointment He enters Office under no lasting
obligations to any faction and no personal graft
udc to any man OF sufficient magnitude to
interfere with the discharge of his duties
Richmond congratulates Postmaster Allan on
his past record and felicitates Hay Thornton,
postmastertobe, on his opportunities for the flu,
ture.
