LABOR AND PROHIBITION.


 The trend of sentiment of organ ized labor is towards prohibition, said Richard Jones of Duluth, a member of he Minnesota state senate, speaking before the Scandinavian Socialist or sanitation.
 Some trade union leaders claim that prohibition would make for non employment. If this is SO why have locomotive engineers to the number of 10000 indorsed 1t? If prohibition is inimical to the interests of labor, why did the southern labor congress, composed of men from nine southern states, refuse to ask for a repeal of the prohibition laws of the South when requested to do so by the United Brewery Workmen of America? Lo- cal labor leaders may insist that the saloon is poor mans club, but the American Federation of Labor at it's convention at Toronto condemned the use of that term.
 We are urged not to vote men out of employment in a business which is destructive to society. l would vote those men out Of that employment and into something valuable to them selves and their fellow mon. l would like 10 have Q chance to vote about 5,0OO.000 men in Europe out of their present jobs. If this principle applies ill one case why not in another? To advecate peace in Europe would throw thousands Of wcr.vuen in America who are engaged in ,he manufacture of munitions War cut of their present employn - but thousands of trade unionist- and Socialists are today do- ing all il their power to spread anti militariasic propaganda among their fellow worhers.'

OPENING POSTOFFJCE ON
 SUNDA1 PROHIBITFn

Washington, D. c April 14 1916. Postmaster, Prescott, Arkansas.
 In reply to your letter of the 10th instant, it is suggested that you dis continue the practice of delivering mail to all geherol-deliyery patrons who call at the post office door for mail on Sundays, and advise them that you are prohibited by law from opening the office on Sundays for the purpose of delivering mail to the gen eral public. In any instance where prompt delivery of a piece of mail. expected and described by the appl- cant, appears to be of special import ance or urgency, you should endeayor to make the delivery.
 With reference to serving rural route patrons on week days, 1t is sug- gested that those who are in the habit of calling at the post office for mail at times when serving them will interfere with other business of the office or delay the carrier in depart ing to serve the route, be informed Of the provisions of section J73, Postal Laws and Regulations

HELP SHORTAGE
BY M. c.. r. r.

The lack Of men to handle freight
is causing the Maine Central consld-
erabie trouble. 1t has formerly been
the practice to take all cars containing
way freight coming from the west in
to Portland and sort it out and reload
1t for the various stations along the
road. With the increase Of business 1t
was found impossible to handle 1t all
at Portland and some Of the cars were
sent along to Waterville and sorted
out here, the Waterville office soon
got rushed beyond its capacity and
smaller places were selected, like Fair
field and Oakland. The business Is still
on the rush and the result is that cars
loaded with way freight are coming
into practically every large station for
reloading and into many Of the smaller
ones as we'll. Everyone Of them are
having trouble to get men enough to
do the work, and it is also making ex-
pense for the railroad which, however,
cannot be helped.
