ment. including the chief and aseist-
ant chief, has been let to Stephens

this true about trousers.
The uniforms are of a very supe-
rior quality this year. Stephens and

getting this contract.

PUBLIC ASKED
TO AID IN WORK
COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN CALLS
FOR COOPERATION
IN ENTREES.

Chairman r. l.. Philips, of the Gala
Week committee yesterday issued a
statement to all Brunswickians inter
ested in entering their automobiles
in the floral. Industrial and fraternal
parade to be held on Thursday, March
9Th.
He said: ''W L. Short, the official
decorator for Gala Week, has estab-
lished sample room at 1928 IL New
castle street. All those who contem-
plate decorating cars and floats and
entering them in the big parade
should call at the sample room re
garding the type of decorations they
wish. All information of that nature
will be furnished by him. Because
of the volume of work to be done and
the fact the samples canot be carried
from place to place, it is necessary
that those interested visit the sample
room instead Of expecting Mr.. Short
20 call upon them. This is done to
expedite the arrangements for deco
rating the automobiles and establish
a central location where all informa-
ton concerning decorations can be
given"
Phil Burgess, chairman of the pa
rades' committees, again announced
the necessity of receiving the answers
to the cards mailed out few days
ago. He states because of the expect
ed size of the parade and the mass
of detail work before positions can be
designated for each individual, it is
imperative the replies to the cards be
sent in within the next two or three
days. A parade the kind Brunswick
will have, he said, requires consider
able clerical work in arranging the po-
sitions of floats and automobiles and
the people OF Brunswick who are en-
tering the parade should cooperate
with the committee chairman to less
en- the burden of work
Surprise is felt by the members of
the Gala Week committee who are I'M
able to explain the lack of interest
on the part OF people to inform the
committee Of rooms for rent during
Gala Week. Members of the commit
tee yesterday stated they could not
see why more responses have not
been received

not only at one time but always, what was charged upon the floor of Congress?
 What in the world is more urg- ently needed than a great labor pa per with the solid support of orga- nized millions at its back and sup porting those organized millions through thick and thin, criticizing, commenting. exposing, denouncing, where each of these things were needed?
 As it is today the labor papers are voices crying in the wilderness and to a great extent unhcard. It is to constant struggle to get support from Labor for them. Their appeals for help from those in whose inter- est they are published have become pitifully monotonous.
 Yet quite obviously their chief duty is the work of educating the public to the need of such labor press, and to make their existence to be a necessity to the workers, a necessity which should have first claim upon them at all times.
 Never at any time was felt the need for powerful organization and a-powerful press controlled by that organization-now when it is almost too late.
