ED AN APOLOGY. E

An incident that has caused much
comment was the action this week of
the Machinists Union at the Seaboard

of its members because of his recent
unpatriotic utterances.
When w. w. Dykes, chairman of the
Red Cross drive, solicited subscrip-
tions among the employees at the
shops he approached this man, and
in the course of the Iatter's talk this
statement was made: ITO hell with
McAdoo-Id d rather work for the

Subsequently, after the incident had
created much feeling, the man who is
well known in Americas, declared that
at the time he was under the influ-
ence of liquor and did not know what
he was doing. He made an apology to
MIR. Dykes and also went 20 see Capt.
