leased the birds, intrusting each with q
tiny roll of tissue paper, bearing mes

not been heard from. and 1t is probable
that they are happy on their way back

The many changes that have been
made in and about the different shops
in the last few months are most
noticeable even to the uninterested.
1t is a pleasure to the writer to eX-
press his appreciation of the efforts
the employers are making to improve
the conditions of the employees.
am a great believer in fair deal
ing, and l believe if the employees
wish to be fair to the employers they
should, in some way, show their ap-
probation Of this consideration.
The Company has not only granted
a liberal general raise to all en-
ployees but has spent thousands OF
dollars on improvements in the shops
and offices, and has installed many
new machines of the latest and most
expensive type.
At the present time they have
many other improvements under way
which are for the welfare and benefit
of their employees. We have been
informed that in the near future
there will be a new sanitary and
modern toilet built to replace the old
one. These are things we all should
appreciate, and by showing this ap-
probation we promote harmony and
add another link to the great chain
which binds together the employer
and the employee in fraternal way.
These conditions promote efficiency,
and in efficiency lies the success of
industry and the general welfare OF
the employe and his family.

we have had for some time.
We regret that, owing to important

and beloved president Dennis A.

which were brought before that body
at the last meeting for the benefit of
labor in the city, including some
grievances existing between organ
lied labor and several business men.
A safety first" movement has been
inaugurated by the Superintendent
of The American Bottle Co. Our
committee on safety first reported
various recommendations that we've
discussed at their first meeting.
Branch No. "a is heartily in accord
with this movement and will use
their best efforts for the continuation
of same.
Our dance committee, who so ably
arranged for and conducted our dance
on Thanksgiving night, reported a
clear profit of about $110 which will
be used to buy sweaters for our
boys serving their country. Too
much praise cannot be given this
committee for making this affair q
financial and social success. We also
wish to take this opportunity to thank
the general public for their liberal
patronage.
One of our drafted brothers, Mr..
Paul Mossman, dropped in on US and
gave a very interesting address on
the good sanitary conditions and
splendid health of the boys at Chilli
cothe. He also spoke of the enter
tainment features, and highly praised
the Battery Fund movement.
; Here's to the success of the "New-
ark Leader" and also those that ad-
vertise in same. We read all the
advertisements and therefore notice
that some of our largest business

to find them where they belong.
