ALBERT BROWN

Attend Special Meeting Of
Trades Union Liberty
League In Columbus

Albert Brown, Secretary of the
Brewers Union and Arthur Burns,
Secretary of the Bartenders Union,
attended special called meeting of
the Trade Union Liberty League held
in Columbus last Saturday and Sun
day The meetings of both days were
largely attended, members from all
over the state being present. The
object of the meeting was to discuss
the campaign to be waged the coming
summer and fall against the endorse
ment of National and State Prohibi-
ton
Much enthusiasm prevailed among
the members of the league present,
all seeming to take an optimistic
view of the situation There is one
thing certain, and that is that the
vets are alive to the fact, that while
the state is wet by big majority, it
behooves all interests concerned to
get busy and get this wet vote to
the polls. The vets say that they
will not be caught mapping this year.

rIoney Can't Pay For This Work
Labor's Sacrifice And 1t Makes
1t Willingly And NobIy.

Baltimore, Md, March Labor
deserves the highest praise for its
patriotism and sacrifices in the war
said Secretary of the Navy Daniels
here in an address before the Bal
timore Club.
The Secretary's address was an APP
peal for national unity as the only
thing to win the war. He warned
against pessimism. He pleaded
with Americans, when reading of a
strike of 10000 workmen, to think
rather of the 100000 other Am
erican workmen laboring in frigid
temperatures, risking their lives
and limbs in the cold, that the
country may be victorious in the
conflict.
Secretary Daniels, who was well
coined by Mayor Preston, prefaced
his remarks by talk on the duty
Of the press in war. Speaking of
those papers which showed a dispo-
sition towards pessimism, he said
"This is no time for pessimisim
Neither is it an hour for optimism.
It is an hour for dedication and reso-
luton. There is no room for pessi-
mism in America now 1t is sin!
How the War viii be Won.
"You NAV ask me-" he continued
what IS it will win the war-that
is, what one thing above all others.
Here Secretary Daniels referred to
the various contributing factors
food, fuel, money He told of the
sacrifices asked in all of these things,
and the sacrifices made Because
of the sacrifices made" he said,
America has done more in six
months to get into the war than any
other nation in an equal time in the
worlds history"
But, said the Secretary, although
Hoover, Garfield, McAdoo and the
others might each select his partic-
ular line to dwell on as necessary
to win the war, he could say the chief
necessity is ships, and ships, and
more ships" But even then, he adj
ded, he must qualify, for it is not
really food, or fuel, or money or even
ships-but the united spirit of the
American people" that will win the
for the Stars and Stripes.
"The spirit of pessimism," he said
"has no place in this united spirit
