LIBERTY LOAN COM
MITTEES ORGANIZED

Washington county has been organ
! lied practically on military basis
for putting through the fourth Lib
erty Loan, the campaign for which
starts on September 28th. Besides
the general committees, which are the
same as those for the third issue,a
chairman and committee has been ap-
pointed for each civil district.
Complete organization, through CO.
operation and positively unceasing
hard work is going to be the order
in this campaign, for the reason that
this Fourth Liberty Loan is to be the
most stupendous financial deal that
has ever been attempted in the his
tory of the world.
A meeting of the county commit
teemen has been called by Chairman
Pouder for Saturday morning, Sep
TENDER 21st, at Jonesboro, at ten
o'clock.
The women have been thoroughly
organized, under the direction of Mrs
Hugh l.. White, chairman of womens
committees, and these committees are
also published.
All committeeman will do well to
retain this copy of this paper, so as
to have before them the complete Or
ganiZation, for the purpose of con-
Quoting their work and making re-
ports.
All chairmen will bear in mind two
important details: First, daily pro-
gress reported to Chairman James A.
Pouder; second, constant communica-
ton with the director Of publicity, in
order that your district may receive
due recognition. You cannot worry
the publicity department by too many
letters, phone calls or personal visits.
The county organization is as fol-
lows:

RED CROSS NOTES

Johnson City again will be given
a chance to help her unfortunate
friends oversee. Begin to collect the
things you can spare.
Ten million men, women and child
rem in the occupied parts. OF Belgium
and France again look to the Ameri-
can people to provide them with
clothing to get through the coming
winter. On the success of the second
clothing drive which the American
Red Cross, at the request of the Bel
gian Relief Commission, will launch
ON September 90 and continue for one
week, depends whether these sorcly-
tried people are to have enough coy
ering for their poorly nourished bo-
dies during the cold weather.
Back of the German wall that for
four years has hemmed in brave lit
tie Belgium and her neighbors in
northern France, 100000 human
beings look to us for clothing as well
as food. Even the well-to-do lack ne

rect need All stocks of clothing and
raw material have long since been
exhausted.

YOU can give it.

very household in the land has
ghe spare clothing worn or cut
grown, of little value here, but das-
perately needed by the destitute
there. They have been reduced to
fashioning garments from flour
sacks, old blankets, sheets and
tablecloths, which have now almost
disappeared, and shoes from scrape
of carpet and jute sacks. Today it
costs eight dollars to have a pair of
shoes resolved. For bedding, sacks
stuffed with dry leaves or moss serve
as mattresses. Everywhere the need
for blankets is tremendous. Hospitals
and other institutions suffer for
want of sheets. In some places whole
families sleep together to share a
single blanket.

foring nation we must open up our

Garments of every kind for both
sexes and all ages are needed, &C
cOrding to the appeal. Also piece
goods which can be made into sheets

or fancy clothing will not be taken.
Prospective donors are reminded il
will not be necessary to mend the

SYMPATHETIC STRIKE IS LEGAL
SAYS COURT.

Ehe court of appeals has reversed
a $500 damage award against the
Painters union and holds that these
workers have a right to induce other
unionists to strike in sympathy with
them because of a violation of con-
tract.
A contractor agreed to employ un-
ion labor in the decoration Of a thea
ter and then undertook to do the
work himself, although not a member
of nor having an agreement with the
union. Union painters threatened to
ask other organized building crafts
men to suspend work on the building
if the contract was not carried out
and the contractor rushed into court
and secured $500 damages. The de-
cision is reversed by the court of ap-
peals, which rules:
''The contract was one for the bene-
fit of union labor. After the contract
had been recognized and acted upon
by union wOrkmen the same became
valid obligation.
"The owner, in contracting with
union labor, clearly contemplated
that the work in every detail should
be performed by union labor This
contract could not, in our judgment,
be fulfilled by letting the work to
one or more non-union contractors to
personally perform the labor.
"The weight of authority upholds
the right of labor union, in the alb
sence of an inconsistent contract, to
advise and procure the withdrawal Of
union labor from given work, either
singly or in combination, where no
violation or other unlawful means
are meployed, and where the object
of the strike is not unlawful"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-04-05
GOOD ROADS.
By John Bush

When the United States entered
the war the first question every red
blooded man asked himself was, How
can | best help my country?" The
task with which this country is con-
fronted is of such mammoth pro-
portions that the selection and accom-
plishment of the things most essen
tial is a problem that only the ablest
brains of the nation can successfully
solve. And to promote these things
so as to get every ounce of efficiency
without jeopardizing the commercial
life of the country requires time,
patience and sincere thought.
Every thinking person realizes that
the problem of transportation ranks
next in importance to the army and
navy. The assertion of Marshal
Joffre that the battle of the Marine
was, in great measure, won by the
transportation facilities, should not
be necessary to jolt US into realiza-
tion of the responsibilities that the
war has thrust upon us regarding
this important matter.
To relieve in a measure the con-
gested condition of the railroads
which renders the rapid moving of
freight uncertain and at times i'm
possible, the nation should at once
get busy and build good roads. This
will enable automobiles to take over
much of the short-haul business,
thus bringing farm and city nearer
each other, and reducing the cost of
farm products to the consumer.
Thus the railroads will be free to
haul war supplies from the far west
to the eastern seaboard without
being delayed by handling local
freight.
Then perhaps the western farmer
would not have to feed wheat to his
cattle while the world is facing a
food famine. Neither would the grain
speculator offer as an excuse for
boarding the claim that he is forced
to do so because of car shortage.
These are a few of the reasons
why we are heartily in accord with
the good roads movement.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-04-05
ARIZONA'S GOVERNOR DEFENDS
UNION SHOP.

Governor Hunt of Arizona ridicules
the claim of the Worcester, Mass,
Metal Trades association, which wrote
him on the value of the non-union
shop, which it refers to as "open
shop"
Governor Hunt replies:
81 am in receipt of your letter
and statistical report of the 5th in
slant, issued for the people who may
believe that trade unions improve
financial conditions, the moral fiber
or the general conditions of the
workers. I am one of those persons
who do so believe and do still so be-
lieve, in spite of your very convincing
statistics.
"Your we'll intentioned society
appears to be one of those organi-
cations incapable of realizing that
your community is reaping all the
benefits of organized labor without
sharing any of the responsibility
In other words, such community
is parasite to a world fighting for
democracy, and claims. such as you
are putting forth are not only
misleading but anarchistic.
l find nothing in your statistics
to indicate the hours of labor or
any other limitations prevailing in
your city. There is nothing to in
dicate what safeguards are being
placed around labor by women and
children; there is nothing to indi-
cate that your community enjoys the
benefcent effects of minimum wage,
or any of the other laws that organ
lied labor has stood for and which
are doing so much to solve our in
dustrial problems in Arizona"
