LOSS OF r. R. TICKET
WORRIES SHIP RyGGER
Chester Yard Man Blames
Conductor and Tries to
Collect Price

Harry Hulthen, a riGrer at the Chcs-
ter shipyard. is head over heels in trou-
bic these days. and is seking the advice
of his friends in the plant.
\ few days ago he bought monthly
commuters ticket between Philadelphia
and Chester. and the first time he used
it the conductor accidentally knocked
it out of his hand The draft in the
coach carried the ticket out window
and that was the last seen of II.
The conductor gave Hulthen a letter.
so the latter says, to the general pas
senger agent in Philadelphia, and as
sured him the agent would give him
another monthly ticket free. Hulthern
says he was told several times by the
agent to call again.
Finally he determined to get himself
into the hands of the law. He got on a
train for Chester and refused to pay
fare. The conductor turned him over
to a policeman at Chester, but the guar
dian of the peace let him 60 when he
heard his story. Then Il railroad police
man arrested HultherL iut the chief
also refused to hold the prisoner after
hearing his side of the case.
Hulthern is a bitterly disappointed
man. His idea was that if locked up he
could easily bring the railroad company
to terms. But no prison will have him.
Now he is trying to find that same con-
ductor. He thinks he may get the price
of another ticket from him.

LACK OF HOME KEEPS
RPEnE AT SHIPYARD
Might as Well Hold Job While
Houses Remain Scarce,
She Asserts

To show how serious the housing
question is, here is the case of n young
woman, who must keep on working in
the chester shipyard office after her
marriage this coming August just be-
cause she can't find house anywhere
in or near Chester.
She is Miss Florence CCnahan. daugh-
ter of one of Chaster's wholesale mer-
chants. She has for some time been
secretary to Captain Fred c. Mumford,
of the shpyard police department. Miss
Conahan has announced that she is to
be married to Jack Feehiey August I.
She and her future husband have
huntcd all over town and not house
ran they find. Miss CQnahan told her
troubles to Captain Mumford and de-
cared she might as vel retain her posi-
ton until she can keep house for Mr..
Feeh!ey.
Captain Mumford suggested pos
sib.e way out of the dilemma. The Giles
ter Shipyard Company is building lots
of houses for it's employees in South
Chester and they are 'irg to try to get
one of these for Miss Conahan.
But kink has appeared in this plan
If Miss Conahan quits the job she Will
lose her standing as a shipyard en-
ploye. SO she dGes not know what to
do There should be more houses, she

URGES lBoRERs TO
Deal writ SLlCkERS

Seth Marshall, president OF the
Marsha1l-we11s company, strikes the
nail squarely on the head. in tho fol.
lowing appeal to patriotic. working
men to deal with the Stacker and idler
who at this time is labor's worst
enemy as we'll as the country's:
I'm answer to yours of Aug. 16 will
say that whatever influence the Labor
World can have toward stimulating
Increased production will certainly
merit the highest praise and apprecia-
ton OF every true American.
= II have no fear but that in this
great struggle for Democracy our
army at the front will do their part
and more in bringing this war to a
successful close providing they can be
properly equipped and supplied.
"The length Of the war and of our
casualty list will depend on ships and
supplies. -.
1.-THE great question for US to solve
is how to furnish these ships and
these supplies while at the same time
we are giving up to the army and
the navy some 100000 Of our very
best men.
1.-THE whole question is one of pro-
duction and this means work. II
means. that we who are left will have
to continue to hold down our job and
take part of the other fellows job as
we'll. The United States at this time
is no place for slacking of any kind.
1--WE have had too many indifferent
workers, too many loafers. With wages
SO high that a man only has to work
half his time or less to earn a living,
the employer can not force these
slackers to work.
1.-THE Stacker should be properly
dealt with by his fellow. employees.
I'VE should each Of US know ,whe-
ther our fellow worker is working 100
per cent. II he isn't, let US tell him
his actions are pro-German If his
words are not. We must each one of
us produce; more than we have ever
done before If we are going to win
this war, and this we are surely going
to do.
yours very truly,

AMERICAN LABOR IS =
LOYAL TO THE. CORE

Henry w. Cheadle understands bet
ter than most men the philosophy Of
popular government. H9 knows that
labor, more than any other class of
our people, needs democracy, and in
the following greeting he gives testi-
mony to the patriotism of labor.
1.-The present crisis in the worlds
affairs has accumulated the fact that
a very large proportion of the labor
ing men :of this great republic are
loyal to the core.
Under the guidance Of patriotic
leaders; organized labor has demon
strated that it appreciates the benefits
of our form OF government, and has
rallied to the support of the govern
ment, and turned deaf ear to such
traitors as have .counseled a. course of
action that. would result in lending
aid to our enemy, the enemy Of liberty
and democracy.
1.-THE objective is well worth the
necessary sacrifice.
The patriotic stand taken by labor
Is IN the defense OF our government
and the principles it stands for and
against the autocratic government Of
the enemy. The result will be far
reaching and will insure to the bene-
lit OF labor for all time to come. All
citizens will be brought much closer
together, will understand each other
much better, and will work unitedly
to make this an ideal country in which
to live, with the benefits Of civilization
available to all.
"Orga nized labor is entitled to I'M
st1pted praise and congratulation for
Its noble part in this conflict for the
principles Of humanity and democ-
racy.

AWAY WITH CLASSES,
DECLARES Mr.. BARNES

II like to think of America as
fighting this war to successful con-
clusion with all class distinctions
abolished; that capital and labor and
professional and old and young and
man or woman or child shalt know
no distinction until the cause Of De-
mocracy is safely again insured; that
every man shall consecrate his abil-
ity, his talent, his strength, his Aex-
perience, to one cause and one pur-
pose, and that the winning of Amer
icas unselfish crusade for freedom.
IT bear my testimony that in this
war work, labor has as nearly dis
charged its obligations and as closely
approached its ideal Of national SER
vice as any other class. The ex-
perience Of a common peril, a. COM
mon ideal and a common triumphant
vindication Of principle can not but
help to be a. most helpful influence
in this nation.
Heaven grant us all in the years
to come a clean conscience as to this
way we served through these present
months Of trial.
yours truly.

war FOR FREEDOM IS
WORTH ALL ITS COST

Our former mayor, T. w. Hugo, a
workingman himself, typiftes the stall
wart spirit Of American worktngmen
in his high character, clean life and
true manhood. He sends the follow
ing greeting:
II like the motto chosen TO- repre-
sent the sentiments of the working
men of the nation in this, its supreme
struggle for freedom, a freedon1'wh1ch
will be just and right for all the peo-
pie, anything else would be wrong.
1.-The War for Freedom even If 1t
were a failure, which I do not for q.
second admit, would be worth all the
sacrifice, all the, cost, all the sorrow
entailed, for we would prove our
selves indeed unworthy. of the boon of
the great desiredatum of freedom
were we not ready at any time to fight
to the end whenever our freedom was
in jeopardy, as it is now through the
agency of the arrogant, uncivilized.
bestial Prussian Hun, representative
Of everything hellish, ignoble and re-
pulsive to our more advanced ciciliza-
ton.
'There can be no doubt concerning
the result, providing we are united
as American citizens and all doing our
bit either at the front or at the base.
In the trench or in the shops, with no
workmen nor officemen, but all as
citizens in their respective spheres
ready to do and die for the sake OF the
cause which has for its motto, Win
the War for Freedom Speed the
day. Yours truly,

lABoR'S LEADERS ARE
TOWER OF STRENGTH

Our fellow-townsnnan, Watson s.
More, worthy associate Of Mr.. Barnes.
Of whom we are also proud and whose
patriotic service to the city, state and
nation is rivalled by few men, writes
from New York:
1T. is certainly a pleasure for me to
respond to your request to bear testi-
mony to the service Labor Is render
ing in this war.
Labor has furnished their full
quota Of fighting sons for. the front,
and they have furnished them freely
and without reservation, Just as have
all the people Of the United States.
Those who are laboring to sustain our
Government in its activities at home,
and it's Army for Freedom abroad,
are rendering service on basis with
out which it would be impossible to
successfully prosecute the war.
1.-THE attitude Of the leaders has
been a tower of strength to the Gov
eminent. Mr.. John Mitchell as a
member Of the Food Control Board
in New York state, is rendering a
magnificent service. The food law is
beiug administered without fear or
favor, by his board, especially In this
city, where it's administration Is most
difficult. Profiteers are handled &C.
cording to their deserts. +
"Mr. Samuel Gompers in his Cooper
union speech, clearly defined the IL
sues of the war; and his statement at
that time that-If Germany wants
peace, let. her go back to her own
territory and then ask for it'-cleared
the atmosphere. at just the crucial
moment.
Labor has always shown its impa-
thence with that small minority which
has been unpatriotic, just the same as
others Of the patriotic people have felt
and acted towards that element which
does not appreciate what this war
means for the liberty Of all peoples,
and especially of those who have not
heretofore enjoyed the full measure of
it's privileges.
Every truly yours,
WATSON S. MOORE"
