WHAT "OPEN
SHOP" MEANS

Pittsburgh, Pa, March 18-The Ma
tional Cylinders association and the
National Metal Trades association
have Joined hands in an attempt to
break the strike of iron .molders who
are demanding shorter hours. The fol
| lowing section of the contract being
| forwarded to prospective strike break
ers. will indicate the amount of "iber-
ty'' these non-unionists will retain:
''The National Founders association
hereby agrees to employ you for the
term of one year from this date at the
trade of molding or coremal0ing. You
are to work faithfully and for the best
interest of the association in all par
ticulars; you are to work in such
shops as the association designates,
and when transferred from one shop
to another, the association will pay
the railroad fare and you will not lose
the time consumed in travel. You are
to be at all times ready to move from
place to place as the association dir
ects, and when working in a struck
shop you are to be particularly care
full to work for the interest of the
shop where the strike is in force
EITHER the president or commits
sioner of the association shall be the
Judge as to whether or not you have
been or are faithful, conscientious, and
living up to theterms of this agree
ment"
The above provides for typical non
union conditions, these employers in
sist on referring to as the "open shop"
1t will be noted that the worker must
at all times be ready to move from
one city to another to break strikes
and the officials of the National Foun-
ders' association qualify as mind
readers, as they say they will fbe the
sole Judge of whether a strikebreaker
is guided by his whether
he is conscientious.

MRS. MARY lane CGLDVEII

Mrs. Mary Jane Caldwell, aged 81
years, died Monday at 1856 p. m.
after an illness Of two weeks, of gen.
eral debility, at her home in Millers.
burg Mrs. Caldwell had been in de.
clining health for the past year, but
owing to her wonderful vigorous con.
stltution, she kept on her feet until
a few days prior to her death.
Two weeks ago Monday evening she
was seized with a nervous attack, and
from that time on it was apparent To
her family that the end was near, al
though she did not take her bed en-
tirely until last Thursday afternoon
at which time she went into coma
tose state, from which she never raj
lied.
She was born on December 10, 1928
near Mayslick, Mason county, and was
one of two sets of children, a daugh-
ter of William and Jane Mitchell her
father having been married twice
She was one of seven chilrren, three
half-brothers, two half-sisters and one
own brother, all of whom have pre-
ceded her to the grave. Her father
died of chelora when she was quite
a little girl, and her mother when she
was quite young. After the death of
her mother her early life was spent
in Paris. At the age of 20 she was
united in marriage to Mr.. John Mel
son Jefferson, a prominent lawyer of
Maysville, and to this union two chill
.dren were born, one daughter, Miss
Laura c. Jefferson, who still survives,
and one son, w. T. jefferson, who died
when p young man.
Her husband represented Mason
county two terms in the Kentucky
General Assembly in the early flfties,
dying when quite a young man, leav-
ing her with two children. After
some years she was united in mar
riage to Mr.. David Calwell, a promi-
nent farmer Of the county, near Mays
lick, and to this union three children
were born, one daughter, Irene Cald-
well, two sons, r. NJ. and f. c. Cald-
well, she being survived by r. NJ, the
older son of the second marriage.
After the death of her husband in
1880 she, with her children, moved to
Maysville, where they resided until
1889. She then went to Millersburg
with one son and daughter, purchased
the farm of the heirs of the late John
McCllntock, now owned by Mr.. ]. A.
Butler, operating the farm fourteen
years. In 1906 she built the home on
Trigg avenue, where she died.
She was a broad, liberal minded,
intellectual woman, thoroughly con-
yersant with current events, and keep
ing abreast of the times in all that
transpired.
Early in life she united with the
Presbyterian church, of which she
was devout member until death. |
She was strong in her convictions,
firm in every position assumed, ener-
Betic, and ofttimes was leader in
many enterprises. All who knew her
loved her and her superior manners
and culture won her many friends. !
She was gentle, but firm and true, to
everything that she espoused. The

THE STORY OF THE SUNDAY
SCHOOL DOLLAR.

The result Of the Go-to-Sunday-
School Day has been manifest in a
large increase in permanent member
ship of Sunday School and Church.
As a direct result Of the movement
last year fifty thousand visitors be-
came Sunday School members. Here
are three typical cases:
An Old Soldier.
On "Go-to.Sunday.School Day" in one
of our Sunday Schools an old man
said, 81 am over seventy years old. 1t
has been forty years since was in a
Church. The man who is now Cover
nor of Kentucky was my Colonel dur
ing the war. | always obeyed every
order he issued. When my old Colonel
issued the order that everybody must
come to Sunday School today, had
20 obey. Now | am here, what are
you going to do with me?" A Mems
Bible Class was ready for him. Three
weeks later he became a member of
the Church and has lived a consistent
Christian life ever since.
A Young Man.
At another Sunday School, young
man, who had been going with a wild
set, was among the visitors on "Go-to-
Sunday.School Day" He became a re-
gular member of the Young Mems
Bible Class. Soon after he declined
an invitation to go on Sunday ex-
cursion where he knew there would be
drinking and gambling, saying, mo,
boys, no more of that for me. l have
something so much better"
A Junior Boy.
For more than a year none of the
family had attended Church or Sunday
School. On "Go-to.Sunday School
Day" the children we're permitted to
go and from that day became regular
members. In a few weeks the twelve
year-old boy united with the Church
The mother then sent to the old
Church home for her letter. And now
the father, too, often sits with them
at the Church service.
The Kentucky Sunday School Asso-
citation has been busy in many fields
of service. A few of its activities are
listed below:
