RETURN MISSIONARY
 FROM CHINA SPEAKS
Miss Bess McCOmbs, Who Work ed Among Heather Chinese for Five Years, Speaks at the Missionary Meeting.

The Little Rock Conference Wo- mans Missionary Society which is in convention here, is proving to be one of the most interesting and instruc- tive of any held in recent years. The splendid reports offered by the differ ent officers, which include the presi- dent, corresponding secretary, secre- tary and treasurer, which were prac- tically all record breakers, and the business-like yet reverent manner in which they were read, contributed largely to the success of the meetings. According to the treasurer's report last night the Prescott Missionary So- ciety is first in the Prescott district in cash turned over to the treasurer and first in per cent gain over last year.
 Among the inspiring talks of the convention was that of Miss Bess Me Combs of St. Joseph, Mo-, who has devoted large part of her life to the study of missions and who has spent the past five years laboring as a mis- sionary in China. If one wishes to meet true Christian in word and deed, Miss McCombs will impress one as she impressed the people who crowded the church auditorium Tues day night to hear her address which was a revelation to the majority of the people who have an opinion of China directly contrary to the bright and happy people whom Miss Me Combs has been devoting her life to and will return within short time. to teach more of them the gospel of Jesus Christ To quote her, "One reason missionary hates to return to her native country, America, after working among the poor heather peo- pie for few years, is that here in our own country the small congrega- tions that attend the church services show conclusively the careless lack of interest in serving God and saving souls, while in China at each service the house is packed to standing room and the strictest attention is given to preaching the word of God"
 Miss McCombs' entire address would be well worth reproducing so that many erroneous ideas about missionaries could be changed.
 The meeting was favored last night by q talk from Dr. ]. M. Workman, president of Henderson Brown Col lege, whose subject was, Training for the Future" Dr. Workman al- ways interests his audience and last night was no exception. Some more inspiring addresses are on the pro- gram before the convention comes to a close Friday and as everybody is in-

Hamilton Commercial and Industrial
Association met with delegates re-
representing thirty organizations
present. Nine labor organizations
were represented. The Association
viii meet again on next Monday
night. 1t is to be hoped that every
labor organization will be represent
ed. Every union should elect dele
gate The Associations plan of rep
resentation is splendid one. The
laborer is on an equal with the capi-
tahst The cost to any organization
desiring to be represented is small,
just three dollars per year. Much
criticism has been made of other
civic organizations in the past, the
claim being made that the working
man didn't get justice or fair deal
i The Press doesn't care to dispute OF
argue this point but it can be said
that such conditions do not exist in
| the Hamilton Commercial and Indus
trial Association. All are on an equal
basis The Press urges that every
labor organization elect delegate
and then have him report-the proceed
ings after each meeting of the organ
ization at the meeting of the union
he represents. In this manner every
member of the union can keep in
touch with doings of the Association
Take chance brothers, spend three
dollars and send delegate for a
year at least.

The time has come and the candi-
dates are here. We don't want to get
into politics but there is one office
however, the candidates for which,
the Press would advise the voters of
organized labor to scrutinize closely.
The office referred to is that of Rep
resentative to the State Legislature.
Mayor Smith who has been our repre-
sentative for number of years of
course is not candidate. Mayor
Smith it must be said was always
friendly to labor legislation. 1t be-
! hooves us to watch it so that man
| just as friendly as he has been shall
take his place. The war profteers
and exploiters of labor are watching
and taking advantage of every OPP
portunity to tear down any of the
laws beneficial to labor. So be on the
job Mr. Workingman, see to it that
every man nominated at the primar-
les is at least friendly to your inter-
ests. The primaries is the time to do
your work and then let the best man
win at the regular election.

Can't Stay Union :
ism.

st. Louis, Md.--The world has got
beyond the stage of individual bar
gaining in labor, writes William M.
Reedy, editor Reedy's Mirror.
collective bargaining is here and
it has come to stay Only the trades
powerful enough to enforce the prin.
ciple of collective bargaining are get
ting the best wages. Trade union
ism is getting what it demands. I'm
organized workers are tagging behind
in raise of pay. The worker cannot
depend on generosity He is given
nothing He gets what he can win;
no more
'The individual worker can not do
much to better himself. In combina-
tion with others he can do much.
Therefore they organize. They bring
to bear against the employer coer-
cion. 1t is their answer to the en-
ployers' utilization of the individual
workers necessities to coerce that
worker into acceptance of the low
est wage consistent with subsistence.
The employer appeals to natural
law There 'ain't no such thing in
the situation, with the employer in
control of the job. To correct that
unnatural law trade unionism has
come into existence and it will remain
until there comes into action another
method of making natural law nat
ural"

After reading the ownership of the
Republican-News published in the
Press last week was it to be wondered
at that the common workman got
nothing but abuse from that paper
during the turmoil of the industrial
strife in this city last summer and
fall. The proprietors of the two
plants where the workers were on
strike at that time also own the
greater part Of the RepubIican-News
stock. Nothing strange about it after
you understand the thing, is there?

The International Association of
Fire Fighters held its first conven-
tion in Washington and elected Thorn
as G. Spellacy of Schenectady, N.
Y, president, and W. A. Smith of
Washington, secretary treasurer.
Eleven vice presidents were chosen
and Pueblo, Col, selected as the 1919
convention city.
The fire fighters were given char
ter by the American Federation of
Labor at its Buffalo convention last
year The new organization includes
municipal firemen.
Nearly half hundred delegates
representing the various city firemen's
unions affiliated with the A. F. of Ii,
were present. The convention de-
voted much time to the question of
shorter hours and indorsed the two
platoon system.

Our sons and our brothers are to-
day fighting to secure for us the right
to live our lives in peace forever in
the world. If they fail our lives will
not be worth living; our country will
not be worth living in. They can not
win our fight alone The most we
can do is the least they have right
to expect of US. Our state is peculi-
arly favored in its industrial advan-
tages and much is expected of US.

Why wouldn't it be a good idea for
old Butler County this year to elect
three workingmen for commissioners.
One from Hamilton, one from Middle
town and one from the rural districts.
1t would have a tendency to balance
old Butler a little bit, and it would
please some of our Middletown folks
who have kick coming, yes, lots OF
them.

Memory Of
Cheaper Days
BY Berton Braley.

remember, | remember
The days that used to be
When porterhouse was eighteen cents
And soup bones given free;
When milk was five cents by the quart
And butter twenty four,
And bacon fifteen cents a pound
In those brave days of yore.
/ remember, / remember
When one could hire a maid
For three or four or FIVE a week
And when she came, she stayed,
But now they are naughty clan
Who cost you eight or nine,
Who come to you at ten o'clock
And then at noon-resign.
| remember, | remember
When gentle working men
Would come whene'er you asked
them to
For life was simpler then,
But now, although your pipes are
burst
And trouble leaves you vexed,
Until week after next
] remebmer, ! remember
(Oh, why must visions fade)
When there was sugar sold to all
And coal men sought your trade
But now the times are altered,
And there is little JOY
In thinking of how cheap things were
When / was but boy!
