A Well Deserved Boquet.
To The People of The Ninth
Congressional District.

] want to congratulate the PEG.
pie of the Ninth Congressional
District on their selection of a
Congressman. ! have just spent
week at the Capitol, and while
there | had good opportunity to
observe Congressmen and their re-
cords and methods. not only Ken
'ucky's Congressman but those
from the various States.
+ Congressman Fields is a states
man that looms large in affairs
at the Capitol. He has a record
for industry, and for high and
noble character that is unsurpass-
ed in the record of any Congress-
man. 1t is surprising to know
that man as busy as Congress
man Fields, could give his person
al attention to every letter from
his constituents, but this is what
Congressman Field does. He
seems to have as much considera-
ton for his constituents as if they
were face to face with him. Con.
gresham Fields ability as mem.
Der of one of the most important
committees of the House, is rec
ognlzed by the statesmen Of the
Country. He is the ranking men,
Der of the Committee on Military
Affairs and is considered as an
authoritive on this important sub
ject.
Congressman Fields is never too
busy to stop aud help somebody. I
He has way of making the most
timid feel perfectly at ease when
IN his presence, and when he MAX
es friend he has way of keep
ing him, l believe that the inter-
ests of the people of the Ninth
District are in safe hands as long
as they are in the hands of w. j.
Fields.

Dear James, Noting your request rel
alive to making the Herald one Of per
sonal letters from those living at a dis
lance. take the opportunity extended,
and win try 70 give to the many readers
short sketch from this place. and in a
brief way give them little insight into
the steel industry at this place which
hope YOU viii be able to find space for
in your paper. But before entering into
that this leaves my family and myself
enjoying good health, and the same viii
apply to all the rest Of the Kentucky
boys at this place. There is quite a num-
Der Of dear old Kentucky boys here at
present and quite a number have Just
left for home. Among those here at
present are:- Hiram Watson, Strong
Hatton, W. H. Wages, Porter and John
Pence, Bruce and Lindsay Mcclure, ].
W. Burcham and son, Willard, Richard
Hurst and John Taulbee. all of whom
have good jobs and seem to be well sat
isfed
Among thoss who recently left here
we're: Oscar Pence, John Mcpherson,
Bill Tyra. Letcher, Porter and cass
Trent.
Here are congratulations to the Her
aid and to the Contestants who did SO
faithfully work forts interest.
We are proud to have the Herald
come to Homestead, but there is one
thing that we don't like about it, and
that is, it doesn't reach US until Mon-
day and sometime not until Tuesday.
We are slad ,kInsle Sam i giving -
g. - - - - tst -
cess Of the Herald. We ike to read bis
rhymes very much.
We believe that with the list Of cor
respondents you have and Uncle Sam"
you viii be able to give the readers ene
of the best papers published in noun
tains of kentucky am still in the in
specting department of the steel and
iron company and have learned some
very interesting things aboUs steel. In
speeding steel is pleasant work and the
are among the highest paid
class of workmen employed in the works.
We would like to tell you just what We
get per month but for fear we may be
called Johnny Bull" we viii postpone
it until later date.
would be glad to have more of our
Ken ucky boys come here for work. II is
a fine place and chances fer promotion
are good, but would not advise any
one to come with the expectation Of get
ting the best job in the works they have
to work themselves up step by step.
General labor is p 5 cents per hour and
in other departments wages are higher.
The Carnegie Steel Co, has $4,000 mes.
The manufacture OF munition for the
war is at present their chief business.
and it is a solemn thought to Us when at
wo on the death misseis Of war. One
who mas not had the experience can ever
know just how it effects one when he
knows b. is furnishing the material TO
be used in the death struggle. The total
cost exports on munition from here last
year was 1867 ,323. ga. Now from these
figures YOU can get glimpse Of the part
the steel industry is doing at this place.
With kind regards to you and all my
kentucky friends, beg TO remain,
