THE ANSWER.

Before little wayside shrine;
Half ruined by a shell
A Belgian soldier knelt to pray
When shades of evening fell.
Behind him in the fading light
A tottering chimney rose,
The remnant of his happy home
Destroyed by ruthless foes.
80 Lord of Hosts" he humbly pray
"a miracle I crave;
Send US a saviour, strang and tt
Our stricken land to save"
And 10! upon the road appeared
With guns and armored cars,
A soldier of the u. S. A.
Who bore the Stripes and Stars.

Victory will go the combatants who
are best fed and nourished. The
food question is paramount. Food
production is as essential to victory,
as food saving. The spade and the
hoe must befriend the rifle and the
bayonet. From statement by the
British Ministry of Food.
The monthly per capita consump-
ton of wheat flour was ordered re-
duced to six pounds in a proclama-
ton issued by the national food ad-
ministration this week. The reduc-
tion is necessary the food admins

wheat to our soldiers and the allies
are to be at all adequate and the

limited quantity of wheat for their
own use during the period from now
until the present years crop is har-

More Are Needed

The insistant calls from General
Pershing and the Allies for men has
prompted government officials to in
crease the number of men who will
be called in the next draft to three
times the number originally planned.
The recent smash on the Western
fl ont, while it has meant tremendous
losses for the Teuton forces, has al
SO greatly depleted the ranks of the
British and French forces. The move
however has shown conclusively what
man power means and what a leader
can accomplish with sufficient men
at his command.
Recruiting must be speeded up in
this country if the United States is
to put sufficient forces in the field
to crush the German armies. Not
withstanding reports to the contrary,
the German army is almost as strong
today as when war was declared.
Civilians in captured territory on
the east front have released thou
sands of trained German soldiers for
service at the front who have been
engaged in industrial occupations.
Prisoners are returning from Rus
sia, and conscript army is being
raised in captured territory which
will add tremendous strength to the
fighting forces of the Central Pow
erS.
The demand for men in the Unit
ed States Army was never more ur-
gent than at the present time. Men
in the service now will be with the
fighting forces before the end of
the summer. The Regular Army is
training recruits, and expanding as
rapidly as possible, to enable it to
keep a constant stream of men on
the way to France. Wonderful op-
portunities are offered enlisted men
in the Regulars for advancement,
and they are assured of seeing ac-
tive service in few months.
All branches of the service are
open to enlistment. During the month
Of March 900 men from the Mime
sofa District volunteered and are
now in training at various camps
throughout the country. Thousands
more must answer the call before
the United States can shoulder its
burden of the fight. Men outside of
the draft age from 18 to 21 and
from 81 to Al years of age are need
ed in the Regulars and are needed
at once.

WEEKS FOOD FACT.

War is making bare the world 5
cupboards; the granaries are being
emptied, the focks thinned, the herds
butchered, the mines scraped. War
is making everything dear except
human life. The destructive mon
ster is consuming more food than it
is producing. Want follows hard in
the wake of war and the whole world
is threatened with hunger the men

TO CONTROL STOCK YARDS

Observation-Disclosures Wilson has
signed the general regulations under
which stock yards will operate.
They provide against eXtortiOnate
or excessive charges for yardage or
commission; require stock yards to
maintain adequate facilities for
handling live stock offered by sales
men; prohibit unfair dealing, combina-
ton or deceptive practices in buying
and selling live stock, and prohibit the
circulating of misleading information
tending to affect prices.
Stock yards and all those engaged
in connection with the buying or sell
ing of live stock in stock yards are
required to secure licenses. Chief Of
bureau of markets has been desig-
mated by the secretary of agriculture

"WORSE THAN LYNCHING"

Washington. - At a Mooney mass
meeting, held in the nations capital,
Bourke Cochran, New York lawyer,
said:
"The president Of the United States,
on Friday, published an address to
his fellow citizens in which he de-
clared the lynching of human beings
was such an offense against justice
and civilization that it amounted to
a serious obstacle in the pathway of
our armies to victory.
"Here is something worse than
lynching. If lynching innocent people
by lawless mobs be enough to en-
danger our success, what must be
said of lynchings by the very courts
that are organized to enforce the law
and prevent lynchings?"

The following is from the Detroit

of this paper can recognize the gentle
man. He lives everywhere:
Gentlemen, l am going to give

"The press is the principal means
for the communication of intelligence
between the people. More, gentlemen,
more; it is the great educator of the
mob on politics, on social questions
and matters of business; and it is, in
large measure, the molder of the
peoples opinions on all the practical
questions of life. 1t is plain, then,
why we business men should have the

ASKS JUSTICE FOR MOONEY

San Francisco.-The San Francisco
Daily News asks this pointed ques-
tion, in leading editorial:
eff Mooney is hanged on no
weightier ground than the perjuries
of that depraved line of witnesses
that appeared against him, what will
be the effect of Americas working
men; on England's, Frances, Italy's
and Russia's?
thinking men will fear the out
come. There is no defense for the
hanging of Mooney. America can
offer no explanation than that JUS
tice has gone wrong-and justice can
not afford to go wrong in America
today.
"All that the president has asked,
all that any man has asked, is that
Mooney be given a new and honest
trial. An honest trial is a trial that
is free from perjury, and jury fix
ing, and prejudiced judges, and other
wrongs that from time to time have
defiled the courts"

"Colored men ought to be union

Council Elects New Clerk
GEO. II. HAMILTON is ELECTED
TO THAT POSITION
Popular andWell Known Labor Leader
Chosen to Fill Vacancy Caused by
Resignation of j. S. Woodward

We believe every union man in the
city will join with the Leader in con-
graduating George H. Hamilton upon
his election to the important position
of Clerk at the meeting Of the city
council on Monday evening.
Many friends Of Clerk Woodward
were aware that owing to poor health
he was contemplating resigning his
office, but hoped that the time was
far in the future. Mr.. Woodward has
made a most efficient official, thor
roughly competent and at all times
courteous and accommodating to all
with whom he came in contact When
he read his resignation Councilman
Knauber stated that it was with re-
gret that he moved his acceptance as
Mr. Woodward had made a faithful
and loyal clerk, but was compelled to
resign the office owing to the state
Of his health. Mr.. Knauber also
stated that at a caucus Of the mem
bers held just before the meeting it
was decided to name Geo. H. Hamil
ton for the position and he moved
that he be named Mr.. Woodward's
successor. The motion was seconded
and carried unanimously. The newly
elected clerk will assume his duties
on September 1st.
Mr.. Hamilton has been a "card
man" all his life, and has ever labored
earnestly and increasingly to advance
the cause and promote the interests
Of organized labor, and it is most
fitting that the position vacated by
union man should be filled by the
appointment of a fellow laborer in
the cause particularly so when that
man is so well qualified to perform
the important duties pertaining to the
office as is Mr.. Hamilton.

RAILROAD SHOPMEN PROTEST
WAGE AWARD
Executive Council Not Satisfied With
Director General McAdOO's
Recent Wage Scale

Misunderstanding in accordance
with instructions of the membership
of the A. F. of l.. railway employees
department, the executive council of
the department will protest the recent
wage award of Director General of
Railroads McAdoo, and will again
submit their original request for rs
cents an hour for mechanics.
While the award is an advance over
the first award, effectice June l, it
falls far short Of rates paid in ship
yards. This is shown by the 68-cent
award for machinists, boiler makers,
blacksmiths, sheet metal workers,
molders and first class electrical
workers.
Another objection is the classifica-
ton of electrical workers and the So
cent award for "car men and second
class electrical workers." Under this
clause such highly skilled workers as
pattern makers, cabinet makers,
painters and coach builders are listed
as "car men" and given a rate that
can not be compared with rates for
the same grade of work in private
industry or ship yards.
Helpers are awarded a 45-cent rate,
as against the 56-cent request of the
shop men.
The award recognizes the eight
hour day, beginning August l. Time
and one-half will be paid for over
time, Sunday work and seven speci-
fed holidays.
Payment of back pay will be made
just as soon as it can be calculated.
The new rates will date back from the
first of the year.

MECHANICS SCARCE HERE

Phoenix, Ariz.-Fred J. Vaughan,
state painter, says there are no
mechanics in the state penitentiary
at Florence to do needed repair work
at that institution. He says that if
gunmen were needed eve could get
them easily, as we have some inside
the walls as prisoners.

importance to attract public atten-
tion," said the state official. "In-
deed it is remarkable when we con-

tions and the overbearing, threaten
ing and intimidating attitude of some
county officials and gunner toward
the workingmen of this state within
the past year."

MACHINISTS No. 80

Licking Lodge No. 80, |. A. of M,
met in regular session Tuesday even
ing. Owing to the extreme hot
weather a number of officers and
members were absent.
The minutes Of previous meeting
were read and acted upon.
A communication from Department
of Labor, Division Of Cancellation, re-
lative to electric welding and fusing
and explaining in detail which craft
should have jurisdiction over certain
classes of work was read. The COM
munication was filed for future ref
erence, in case of dispute.
Representatives of the Newark
Leader were welcome visitors, and the
brief remarks with which they favored
us were listened to with close atten
tion. A number of our members
spoke most fatteringly of the sue
cess attained and influence secured
among organized labor by this cham
pion of their rights, and pledged anew
the united and loyal support of No. 80.
A motion was also passed to appoint
live committee to get busy and Sc
cure subscriptions for the paper, with
the understanding not to cease work
till every member of our local was on
the list.
The applications of eight helpers
for membership in our local were
read and referred to a committee on
investigation.
Applications of G. L. Howarth and
S. J. Howarth, machinists, were re-
ceived and acted upon in legal form.
Bro. Fred Georgetti, an electric
welder, was introduced and initiated.
Bros. Kenneth Jones and Charles
Deardurff, of Machinists Local 462,
were visitors and made remarks rela-
tive to Labor Day. They being on the
Labor Day Committee are most de-
sirous to have the celebration prove
a grand success. Bro. Deardurff also
stated machinists Of the American
Bottle Co. would receive the same
rate as paid at the B. & o. from
August 1st.

of Bros. Tom L. Jones, j. M. Church

WHAT DOES LIBERTY MEAN?

Some writer's and orators who know
they do about the north pole, declare
that trade-unions destroy personal
liberty and keep all the workers down
to dead level of sloth and incom-
potency" This just as true as to
say that the seats in street cars de-
stroy the lberty Of the passengers to
stand up. The "liberty" to work for
starvation wages is not a right; it is
a wrong; it is an injustice; it is an
oppression. 1t represents real liberty
just as much as a gold brick rep
resents real wealth. What does
liberty mean? Is a man free who
has nothing to say about his wages
and his hours of labor? Is a man free
who take the harness and the whip
as obediently as a cart horse? Is a
man free whose only aim in life is
to do what he is told and take what
he is offered? If this is freedom,
then the, trusts must have peculiar
dictionary of their own. No man is
free who has not something to say
about the conditions under which he
works.
The free man today is he who has
some money in the bank, who is out
of debt, who works a fair length of
time for fair amount of money, and
who can, through his union, remedy
any injustice from which he may be
suffering. In the gigantic plants that
now exist one worker counts for as
little as leaf on a tree The bigger
the plant, the smaller the workman,
is a truth the wage Garner has found
out by experience. The only way to
overcome this shrinkage of the work
man is by means of organization. The
union is the only expedient by which
a workman in a plant can remain a
man instead of becoming a mere
number.

PACKERS SCHEME BLOCKED

Chicago. - Judge Altschuler has
blocked meat packers in their attempt
to evade his eight-hour day arbitra

Since the decision the packers have
been calling for men at 9, II, and
even at o'clock to do their days
work. Formerly these men had a
definite starting hour.
Judge Altschuler rules that if an
employe does not complete his eight
hours by $3.50 p. m. he is entitled to
overtime pay at the rates specified in
his original award.

JUSTICE FOR MOONEY BLOCKED
BY COLD LAW
Governor Delays Moneys Execution.
Summary of Courts Denial
of New Trial

San Francisco. - The execution of
Thomas j. Mooney, set for August %,
has been postponed until December
13 next by Governor Stephens.
Under the caption, Claw and
Justice in the Mooney Case" the
editor Of the San Francisco Bulletin
prints this summary Of the state su-
preme courts denial of a new trial
for Thomas Mooney:
"The court of last resort in the
state has finally decided that its
powers do not enable it to take the
extraordinary step which justice re-
quires. This is because there is no
provision in the code of California
by which a court may purge its own
records of testimony subsequently
found to be false. Such a remedy
exists in some states under the form
of the writ of coram nobis, by which
the parties to a case may be sum-
moned by the court and their evidence
reviewed and amended. AS the law
of California is comprised within its
code, and as no writ of coram nobis
is mentioned in the code this remedy
could not be used in this case, no mat
ter how fragrant the perjury appear
ed. Executive clemency, space for
which was left in the constitution out
of a belief that such cases as this
might arise, is the only remaining re-
course. Executive clemency is equity
transcending law where the law
proves inadequate.
"The legal facts about Moneys
trial, as shown in the record, are that
he was duly tried, that no error ap-
peared, and that the period during
which attorneys for the defense might
have been granted a new trial was
suffered to elapse without such ac-
ton. The practical facts are, of
course, that Mooney was convicted on
perjured testimony, so that in equity
he was not convicted at all. This was
a case where the letter killeth and
spirit giveth life. The naked law sur
rounded the case like an iron fence,
in which those who want justice for
Mooney have vainly tried to find an
opening.
"The effect that this has had in
turning Russian revolutionary opinion
against the United States is meal
culable. 1t has even tended to
estrange the workers of allied neutral
countries, and has been the subject
of embarrassing diplomatic cOnversa-
tions between our government and
those of six or seven other countries.
at is consequently of vast impor-
tance that the case be rightly under
stood as we'll as honestly dealt with.
1t should be made plain that it was
not the unwillingness of our courts
to repair an injustice but their in
ability to do so that has kept Mooney
so long without a fair trial, that even
though Oxman had been convicted,
instead of being whitewashed and,
even though the victims of the parade
turned out not to have been injured,
after all, no court could now inter-
fere."
