Sergeant Pred HI. Davis Saw Much
Of Service in France as an
Observation Pilot.

A little over two years ago Fred
II. Davis pursued his studies. as a
member of the junior class in the
Moline high school During his
spare hours he worked as a soda
fountain clerk.
The war came on and Fred was
lured away from his books. He en-
listed in Uncle Sans air service
and today he is a pilot and holds
the rank of sergeant. Eighteen
months he was overseas, and five
Of them he was an observation pi-
lot on the battle front.
Sergeant Davis is back visiting
friends on a 15-day furIough. He
does not expect to be discharged
from the service until January
At present he is stationed at the
flying fields on Long Island, New
York.
Being of a quiet nature, Fred was
Ta.her reluctant yesterday while

achievements when he -opped into

Young Davis holds the distinc-

This important duty, while handled
by civilian pilots, is taken care OF
in emergencies by army aviators at
Long Island. Civilians are paid SIS
for the trip. The army men receive
no extra remuneration when acting
as alteruates.
1t is really quite a staid occupa-
ton, that of speeding through the
air with mail. according to the
young pilot. The trip requires less
than seven hours. The distance as

HARTFORD BARRIERS
 WANT MORE OF PROFIT
Union Demands Minimum Wage of $2O a Week and Com
 mission of Profits.

Hartford, Oct. 17.-At a meeting of the journeymen barbers of Local No g held i'll the Central Labor Union Hall, it was unanimously voted to demand a minimum wage of $20 a week and 50 per cent. of everything over $26 which a barber may earn for his employer, as against minimum wage of $16 per week at present, the new scale to go into effect the first Monday in Novem- Der. There were about 150 members present. The new scale has the ap- prOval of the International Union and is primarily for the benefit of journey men barbers employed in outlying dis tricts of the city where they must de- pend almost entirely on their wages, owing to the scarcity of tips.
 Delegates A. c. Masterf.rd and Richard Codraro, returned from the re- cent international convention in Buffalo read a report on the convention, which was accepted, and which said in part that, beginning January 1, the interna- tiona1 union would contribute $8 per week in cases of sick benefit, instead of $5 as formerly. With the $2 per week contributed i'll such cases by the local union, the sick benefit to all members i'll good standing will be $10 per week, an increase of $3. While at the con- vention the Hartford delegates tried to introduce an amendment to the effect that journeymen barbers be allowed to retain their cards in the event of their becoming master barbers, but were de- feated in the attempt

critical stage, the real labor men of these countries urged President Com perS to send a labor commission to Europe to save the situation. President Gompers named Frey as one of the members of the commission. Those who read his report at the 1918 con- ventlon will not wonder at his selection. It was masterpiece, recounting the re- markable work accomplished in present. ing the ideas of American workers to the war-weary people of Europe
 Our slogan was that there can be no peace without victory" This encour- aged the working people of those lands and inspired them to new effort for success.
 Frey always has planned greater publicity for tEe labor movement. In 1910 he proposed that a weekly news letter should be printed to get I,abor's side before the public as an effective instrument to further the cause. The results proved he was right
 In 1916 he proposed that Year Book should be published, and in 1917 the proposition. In compiling the Year Book 1t was found that a history cover ing only one year would be impractical ble. It was therefore decided, with Frey's approval, to make it a more elaborate work, and when completed he said it surpassed his expectations, con- taining more information than he thought could be put between two covers. It will thus be seen that Editor Frey's agitation for further vehicles for advancing the cause of labor have proved most fruitful His part in the labor movement has been varied, but in every angle can be seen the results of his advice and handiwork.
