scattered throughout the United
States.
What does all this mean to you'll
And | have told you but a fraction of
the work your Red Cross has done
and is doing. 1t means that without
this ceaseless, heroic work of the
American Red Cross, we could never
win this war.
Without your Red Cross thousands
In Rumania would have starved to
death.
Without your Red Cross Italy would
never have realized that powerful sup
port Of the United States in the hour
of need.
Without your Red Cross thousands
Of French soldiers now CALAMITY fight.
ing for you at the front would have
died Of wounds, exposure and lack Of
food.
But now We must all redouble our
efforts and sacrifices for our Red Cross
because-a million mothers sons are
going to carry the stars and stripes
to the greatest victory God has ever
given to men fighting for honor and
liberty
With the help Of your Red Gross
your boy will WIN.

Wright Fore Explains
Blankenship Lawsuit

My Friends in Cleveland County.
| regret very much to have to
do this, but | have been wrong.
fully accused and think it my
duty to explain the accusation
that has been brought against
me. Now | want to say in the
outset that I am not particularly
in love with Mr.. Blodgett but
have had business dealings with
him since he first came to Rison
and it has been pleasant indeed.
want to say that | never had
any business dealings with Dr.
Blankenship until the Spring of
1917 when he moved to Slaves,
by request of him we furnished
him parts and tires for his auto
mobile and had work done on his
car all through last summer, as
we did for many of our friends,
figuring that the account was
good, but, after failing from
time to time to collect anything,
finally told him that we would be
forced to try to get the money
out Of the car, and also ask him
not to think hard of me, he told
me he could not. Therefore on
Monday May 18th, | started to
attach the car, but told DR..
Blankenship that | did not want
to do this and further stated it
was because of the election, and
IL | did it might hurt him in his
race. he telling me that is would
So | told him that [ did not want
to injure him in anyway, but as
the time Of lien was about to ex-
pire, asked him to give me a
mortgage on the car due next
month after the primary and
that no one would know of it ex-
cept he, the man who wrote it
and myself, that we would not
say any more about it until after
the race was over. This he re-
fuse d to do saying that it would
do no good for he could not pay
it then any better than now and
| did not then take any steps to
GO Il ect the account but told him
that did not want to do that
nd asked him to go ahead and
nIai1u some arrangements to pay
me or make me- a good note even
telling him that If he would get
some good man on the note that
l would sign it with them, but
I'm sorry to say that instead of
doing this, DR.. Blankenshir
started there and then to mis-
leading my friends and trying
to make them believe that was
going to attach his car to please
others, and that | was being used
as a tool in this election by SC
doing, which is absolutely false,
and DR.. Blankenship does not
or did not believe that statement
when he made it and | told him
so. He confessed to me that he
did this and the only excuse that
he had to offer was that he

WAR KILLING GERMAN UNIONS.

New York. - Recent information
reaching here tells of the fearful in
roads being made on the German trade
unions. These details are furnished
by last reports:
The number of labor unions was re-
duced from I'll in 1918 to $50 in 1918.
The membership of the Berlin central
labor body dropped from 100000 in
1913 to 10000; Hamburg's had 49,
600 trade union members in 1913,
against $4,000 now; Dresden's mem
bership of $4,000 was cut in half.
These figures will be food for serious
thought in the coming days of peace,
which may cause the ruling classes
of the kaiserland to think of their own
safety.

Coney Island

June time is always picnic time and
correctly so for, as the poet sings,
what is so rare as day in June ?"
Very naturally Coney Island is the
picnic place, or rather the three-in-
one picnic place That boat ride from
Broadway to Coney is a picnic. A So
journ in Coney's Picnicland with its
acres of tables under the tallest Of the
1, ,492 trees is another picnic. And
then comes the third picnic period Of
the Coney day, the ride back home on
either the Island Queen or the Morn
ing Star. That is one of the 10000
reasons why picnickers pick Coney.
Never were there such throngs of
jolly "basketeers" as now. Every
boat has them and they come from far
and near. Recently four families ag-
gregating % in all, came down from
Indianapolis, got their picnic stuff in
Cincinnati and were on Coney boat
in a jiffy.

Washington. Conferees on the
postoffice appropriation bill have not
been moved by the protest of the post
Office employees in regard to accept
ance of overtime pay in lieu of COM
pensatory time off.
Representatives of the postal clerks
and other postal employees do not want
the overtime proposition. They want
rest one day week. They have been
objecting for some time to any ar
rangement that would not ALLOW them
one day out of seven for rest, They
say the concession of overtime pay in
reality is a refusal Of their demand
because it means they will be forced
to work when they need rest. The
senate ignored appeals of the employees
in this matter, and the conferees are
expected to do likewise.

MaChinists
Will Not Leave Hamilton.
Wage Question Has Been
Settled Entirely Satisfac-
tory.

The local machinists are to stay on
the job in Hamilton This was made
positive at meeting of the mechin-
lists employed in the shops where
wage increases were asked, held Sat-
urday afternoon.
At this meeting the committee in
charge of the negotiations reported
that the manufacturers agreed to
grant increases ranging from 8 cents
an hour to the highest salaried ma
chinists, to cents an hour to the
apprentices. This is an average in
crease of about % per cent. This
proved satisfactory and the machin-
lists voted to accept it.
1t was with much qualification the
news was received that the differ
ences existing between the machinists
and their employers had been salts
factotily adjusted by the working peo-
pie in Hamilton As had not this
been so a great many men would
have been effected, for with the ma
chine shops not running all other
crafts would have been effected. Mold
ers, patternmakers, draughtsmen, la
borers, all were concerned.
Much credit is due Lieutenant
Burns, of the Ordnance Department
r. NJ Rush of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, Business Agent Ted
Smith, of the local machinists' union
and the Executive Board Of the local
machinists' union for their untiring
efforts and efficient manner in which
they brought about this satisfactory
adjustment, thereby preventing delay
in the production Of war material
which is the all important point al
this time
Both Lieutenant Burns and Mr.
Rush in their talks to the men, praised
very highly the efficiency Of the ma
chinists and worlSingmen in genera
of Hamilton and said the government
was highly appreciative of them il
their production of war material.
There is no more patriotic craft il
America today than the machinists
1t was understood from the start tina
there was to be no strike of the loca
machinists. 1t merely meant tina
with the high cost Of living as exists
today the men had to have NOR,
money. Other cities are paying NOR,

Imen simply contemplated taking posi-

tions elsewhere if the local firms de-
cided that they couldn't pay more.
But this is all over now and the
men appreciate the fair way in which
the firms involved received and grant
ed their request and will give the best
that is in them. Thus the Kaiser re-
ceives another blow because there is
no doubt that the Central Powers
will soon be feeling the effects of the
local machinists' efforts.
The shops involved were: The Hoo
ven, Owens, Rentschler Co., The Long
and Allstatter Co., The Columbia Ma
chine Tool Co. and The Hamilton Ma
chine Tool Co.
