Handlers Of Meat Threaten
To Strike

New Orleans, La, December 81
New Orleans meat supply may be
curtailed within three weeks if the
committee of the New Orleans Live
Stock Exchange refuses to meet Fri
day committee of Local 623, Live
Stock Handlers, Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butchers Workmen of
North America, the union men say.
According to these men, the ex-
changes committee refused to meet
the labor delegates Thursday after
noon because Negro was among
its personnel. Should the exchange
committee decline again to meet the
live stock handlers, or cattle drivers
they threaten to strike, probably
causing the employment of non-union
drivers. Following such action by
the exchange. 800 meat slaughterers
will strike, leaving no one to cut
meat in this city it is declared.
This program was outlined Thurs
day night by Charles Barada, organ
izer of the Amalgamated Meat Cut
tiers and Butchers Workmen of North
America, after special meeting of
the stock handlers at Memo Hall, Con-
gress and Burgundy Streets.
After the meeting of the stock
handlers, the sllaughtererers, whose
Union is local No. 146, of the Anal
gamated Meat Cutters and Butchers
Workmen of North America, passed
resolution saying they would strike
if non-union cattle drivers were en-
ployed to replace the strikers. The
motion was proposed by a member Of
the slaughterers union and was
adopted unanimously after being an
nounced by President John Bollinger
as open for discussion.

Negro Troops

Oklahoma City, Dec. IA, 1919
Governor ]. B. A. Robertson can
celled his request for troops to pro-
tect mine properties, when he learned
that two companies of Negro in
fantrymen were to be sent to the
State from Columbus, N. M. In a
message to Major General Joseph
Dickman, commander of the Southern
department of the army at San An
tonic, Texas, Governor Robertson
declared these troops would only Sin
volve us in Unnecessary conflict and
confusion" and formally withdrew
his request.
Governor Robertson characterized
the sending of Negro troops to Okla
homa as a needless waste of time
and expense"
Governor Robertson's message
read: General Dickman, Fort San
Houston, Texas. "Thank you kindly
for offering troops to police coal
fields. but l am advised that these
are Negro troops, and if this be true
it would be a needless waste of ex-
'pense and time to send them. 1t would
only involve us in Unnecessary conflict
and confusion. If these are Negro
troops, l hereby withdraw my re-
quest for same and urge that you do
not send send them under any cir
cumstances. Respectfully,
j. B. A. ROBERTSON, Governor.
The Negro troops to have been sent
were two companies of the oath in
fantry stationed at Columbus, N. M.
They were to have been used in pro-
tecting volunteer coal miners.

YOUR RED CROSS CALLS

Membership Rather Than Mon

War Relief.

Red Cross Chapters, branches and
auxiliaries in the Northwestern Div.

in the THIRD RED CROSS ROLL
! CALL November to November IL,
Armistice Day. The American Red
Cross, the greatest relief organization
in recorded history the modified
heart-action of the American people,
will engage in no more drives" for
huge sums for war relief, but will
continue its annual roll-call, which is
simply the occasion on which the
American people express their belief
in the ideals and work of the Red
Cross by enrolling as members. "An
you need is heart and dollar"
For five reasons, say the leaders of
the Red Cross, this THIRD RED
CROSS ROLL CALL should enroll
every loyal and public spirited Ameri,,
can citizen among the millions of mem
bers of the organization that served
our boys at home and overseas, saved
the morale of France and Italy in our
early DAYS IN the war, relieved the !
millions of refugees, fed the starving
babies of Europe, saved whole nations
from determination, stood as next |
friend to those families in America |
whose dear ones were in the service, |
threw its tremendous resources into
the fight against influenza, dealt with |
great national disasters of flood and
fire, and now carries on to do its part
to serve America and to make the
war worth having been won.
These five reasons are:

to soldiers, sailors, and marines en-
route. The hospitality of these can
teens was accepted nine hundred thou
sand times, often by men who would
nave gone hungry but for the Red
Cross service thus rendered. Figures
show that these men, through the
courtesy of the Red Cross, drank g.
497 gallons of iced drinks; used 6.663
bars of soap, and 37,713 paper towels;
ate 57,491 chocolate bars, 16.629
pounds of candy, 14,754 dozen cookies,
74,913 dozen doughnuts, 9,4S8 dozen
hot rolls; wrote 436,400 post cards
furnished and stamped by the Red
Cross; and to their own discomfort
during a certain period, wore 12,250
Influenza masks All this, to say
of 22,956 full meals.
During this time 1S47 sick men were
aided by the canteen, seventynine of
them being removed from trains as
too sick to travel, and receiving inme.
iiate hospital attention.
Canteen work is nearly over, but the
Red Cross still has vitality important
work to do. Every membership in the

life and rob it of its sweetness, can
serve nation and community as can no
other agency in supplementing, rein
forcing, and supporting well-drected
efforts for the conservation of the
most precious things in the world,

.. America Has Set the Pace In a
World Red Cross Movement.
The League of Red Cross Societies
of all nations has been formed through
the inspiration of the Red Cross
achievement of the United States.
This League has no executive power
whatever over the Red Cross of any
nation, but will extend into every ma
ton the benefits of a national, volun-
tary Red Cross society on the Ameri-
can model, to deal with problems of
health and child welfare and to cope
with the relief problems that are so
pressing. over so great a part of the
earth's surface. Through these organ
izations many nations will meet their
own problems which would otherwise
be appealing to America for relief and
assistance. The United States, whose |
people have shown the world how thus |
to rise out of despair into hope, must
keep the Red Cross banner floating
high. The success or failure of this
great world movement of practical
dealism will depend largely upon the
manner in which the American people
answer the THIRD RED CROSS
ROLL CALL.

On Saturday, Aug. 30, Mr.. w. Ber-
nard Duke piloted from Baltimore TO
Herring Greek several cars carrying
the entire staff OF the Seaboard Bank,
of which he is president, and until
Monday afternoon, when they started
on their return, he devoted himself
exclusively to their entertainments.
We, who know Bernard, can imagine
the kind OF time they had, and we are
willing to venture the prediction that
every one of them returned To Balti-
more with the feeling that in their en-
ployer they have found a royal good
fellow aud an excellent friend
An outing OF that kind cannot help
but engender a spirit of loyalty that
will make for better teamwork and no
business institution can ever have too
great a supply of that commodity.
Bathing, boating, fishing and dancing
were especially enjoyed. The parry
found the fishing just about right and
landed $50 big ones.
In the party were Messrs. Duke,
Crouch, Adams, Gambler. Linthicum,
Duerfiuer, Kennedy, Abel, Bueschal,
Mrs. Adams and daughter, Misses
Kupt, Humberg, Hartwell, Williams,
