Editor Clio Messenger:
Dear Sir:
l would like, through your paper,
to say few words of thanks and
appreciation to the ladies of the
Clio Red Cross Knitting Club. Mon
day evening was very much sur
prised and pleased as well, to re-
ceive a parcel containing a complete
knitted outfit, and l can hardly find
words with which to thank you all
enough. You may be sure that
many kind thoughts and good wishes
will go out to the ladies of Clio who
have so patiently given their time
and energies in making it comfort
able for the boys.
Sincerely yours,
Ray E. Hurd

Shoe ting Accident

Stanhope Huyck, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. E. Huyck, while handling a
small rifle, Saturday, was shot
through one of his hands. The bull
let entered the side of the hand and
emerged between the first and sec
ond fingers. The wound is making
satisfactory progress and it is not
thought there will be any serious
results, as no bones were broken.
Stanhope was pulling bayonet
from the weapon when it was dis
charged and considers himself lucky
that he was not more seriously hurt.

Wire Service of
Nation Modified
And Increased
Telephone and Telegraph
Lines Reorganized to
Meet Emergency
IRON ne Tribune Bureau

Washington. May 24-Hcw the telc-
phone and the telegraph service OF the
country has been modified for the war
was revealed to-day by the Council OF
National Defence. Comprehensive plans
have been made. and partly carried out
TO connect the War and Navy and other
government departments at Washing
ton with strategic points all over
the country through-a widespreading
network of special and private tele-
phone and telegraph wires.
Everywhere the telephone and teie-
graph companies have given prece-
dence 70 government services. Details
Of the work being done by the Amerl-
can Telephone and Telegraph Company
one Of the companies represented on
the committee, were announced to-day
by the Council of National Defence.
Long distance facilities IN and out
Of Washington have already been prac-
tically doubled. An original system OF
l4s long distance wires leading out OF
the capital has been increased to 29f
wires. A plan is now under way TO lay
a new underground cable all the way
from Washington to New York, con-
tanning over $4,000 miles Of wire, pro
viding at the same time for service TO
important cities on the way. In addi-
tion to this. copper wire will be strung
in many other directions. When all
this work is completed there will be
about 500 long distance wires radiat-
ing from Washington. as compared with
14s last January.
Plan Special Systems
The increased direct long distance
specisl service from Washington is
only a part Of the system, however.
Over 10000 miles of special systems
have already been taken from CONNER
cial use and devoted exclusively to the
service Of the Navy, Treasury, Agri-
cultural and other departments. The
increased system makes 1t possible
for the heads Of the government de-
-artments to get in touch directly and
immediately with naval stations, army
New-York tribune., 1917-05-25
posts and important agricultural cen
tres.
Camp Telephones Chief Need

One of the largest tasks for when
the commercial telephone compsnies
must be prepared TO serve the war
Department lies in the telephone
rystems which must be established IN
the new mobilization camps Tor tne
army Of 10000 men which IS ABOUT
10 be raised. AT each one OF these
camps between 10000 and 10000 men
will be trained. and this means prac-
tically the establishing of telephone
service, for new cities OF 10000 IN
habitants each. not only for the mill
tary purposes Of the camps. but also
for the personal needs Of the officers
and men.
To provide this service il will be nee
es.ary TO build. maintain and operste
ALI these new telephone systems, whicn
will call for hundreds Of special switch
boards and large amount OF outside
plant and equipment for thousands OF
stations. BEYOND this IL will be neees-
sary to make considerable additions to
the local telephone plants of the near
by cities or towns, as well as additions
TO the toll lines radiating from those
places.

PROFIT IN CONVICT LABOR

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 1O.-At an
investigation of prison conditions in
this state it was brought out that
when the prison department hires out
convict to its road department, it
charges SLAB day for him, and
when the prison department hires out
a convict to a private contractor, the
rate is 35 cents a day.
Does this show that it costs the
prison department $1.10 day to
keep convict, or does it show that
the officials of the prison department
are affected by graftitis, with the
state as graftee?

HOW ORGANIZED LABOR
PREVENTS SICKNESS
AND LENGTHENS LIFE
(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle)

(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle)
The 30,000,000 wage earners of the
United States lose every year in the
form of wages on account of sickness
$500, 100000.
1 Doctors fees, medicine and other
material required during illness cost
them $500,OOO,000 more; making a
total of $1,O0O,000,O00 lost annually
by wage earners on account of sick
ness.
This is twice the amount given an
nually for philanthropic purposes in
the United States.
Workingmen pay a terrible tribute
toward our commercial and industrial
prosperity. 1t is conservatively esti-
mated that at least 10000 working
men are killed annually in industry
and 100000 more are seriously in
jured, although there are said to be
100000 industrial accidents of all
kinds.
One of the finest things being
done by organized labor is to wipe out
the causes and conditions which lower
vitality and shorten life.
1t does this by securing the shorter
workday and in its fight for one days
rest in seven, because fatigue is one
of the principal causes of disease.
When man is completely exhausted
physically he invites diseased germs
which may finish him.
1t does it through its fight for
higher wages, because when a man is
able to eat nourishing food he chases
away the devils of disease.
1t does it through keeping little
children out of mills and factories,
because the stunted bodies of child
workers cannot successfully resist
disease.
1t does it by helping to keep wom-
en- out of shops and in their homes,
particularly those who are bearing the
burdens of motherhood and home
makers.
1t does it by insisting upon clean
work shops, because bad sanitary con-
ditions in places where men are en-
ployed all day are sure to lower their
power of resistance against disease.
These are just a few of the ways
in, 11,hi IoLo I.
to decrease sickness and death.
We have been told by scientists that
human life may be extended Is years
in single generation. If, through
the efforts of organized labor, human
life in this country were extended
only one year, it would result in saw
ing the equivalent of over 100000
lives of As years duration each in a
single generation.
This means in substance that
through the activities of organized
labor enough lives would be saved
during a single generation to produce
the equivalent of the complete lives of
the entire membership Of the Ameri-
car Federation of Labor.
Isn't this job worth while and
should it not receive the support of
every right-thinking workingman,
every employer of labor and every
body else who is interested in the
well-being of mankind?
A logical inference, therefore, is
that we should stand by organized la
Dor in it's commendable work.
