We canot refrain from making some
comment on that coach that was pro-
vided by the B. & O. Railway company
to take our forty-five boys to Camp |
Sherman last Tuesday. The coach was
of an obsolete type, with windows
that could not be opened only far
enough for the boys to put their hands
out. We are told that it at one time
was used on an accommodation train
and had been abandoned years ago,
but the railway company dug it up
somewhere and decided that it was
good enough for the Hamilton boys.
The relatives and friends of the boys
agreed that it was not good enough
and much criticism was heard from
| the large crowd that was at the depot
when the train pulled out. We hope
that in the future the B. & 0. will
provide the best service that can be
obtained to take these boys to camp.
Nothing should be too good for them
and to ship them away from their
friends and relatives in dilapidated
box such as the railroad provided for
them Tuesday, was a disgrace. If
Pullman chair cars are good enough
for the public to ride in, they are good
enough for the soldier boys to ride
in. Give them the best.

1t is with much pleasure the Press
announces the satisfactory settlement
OF I'LL existing differences between the
machinists and their employers in the
four big shops wherein requests were
made for higher wages three weeks
ago. Much credit is due those who
were in charge of the Negotiations
for the efficient manner in which they
handled them. All are to be congrat-
ulated that with so many men con-
cerned but one shop lost only one days
! time while the negotiations were be-
ing carried on.

Well, the County Commissioners
finally granted the court house en-
ployes an increase in wages grudg-
Iingly- but anyway they granted it.
1t is not to effect however until July
1st. 1t was only granted after much
nagging and a threat of the employees
to quit work 1t is only fair to state
that member Emil Gerber favored
granting the increase from the very
start and he was the one to offer the
resolution. Thanks.

all right in their place But do not
make the mistake of thinking yor

bought Thrift Stamp when yot
should have bought SIS War Savings
Stamp. There is no patriotism in try
ing to deceive yourself and your gov
ernment.
