last much longer and I'm figuring I'll
be home on my birthday, which comes

giving it about two months to end.
Last Sunday was Palm Sunday and it
came near passing without my know

That Corporal Arthur PaulSon or

his life in battle in France, fondly

Il haven't been in a church since I

"The Borland amendment. coming, as
II does at this period of the war, is one
Of the most unfair pieces of legislation
ever foisted upon the people" said Mr.
Morrison, speaking for Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, who was called out OF
town in connection with the strike in
the shipyards. Not only is it the in
tention of the author of this amend
ment to force the clerks to work eight
hours after the war. but it appears that
he would force them to do it now. when,
rs all of you know. practically every
government clerk puts in many hours
Of overtime each week to keep up with
the rush of war work. This protest
against the unfairness of this legisla-
ton has behind it the weight of 2.670.-
900 members Of the labor unions in this
country. To return to an eight-hour
day would be backward step"

mark in the enthusiasm of the evening

Morrison said The clerks who come
here to assist the government in this
war emergency are willing to work
overtime, but, they do not want to be
forced to do it, and this legislation pro-
poses to force them to work another

tion Of the governments aim.
