Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-04-25
JOTTINGS FROM 522

several vacancies in the official list
were noted, the most conspicuous
being President w. Workman, who
was trying out Grant Six. We
thought Bro. Workman acted a little
bit queer here of late, but did not
think it had got that far Still we all
sympathize.
Regular routine of business dis
pensed with, and the subject of sub
scription for the Leader was taken
up. After several strong pleas by
different members, Vice Pres. Siegel,
who was assuming the honor of being
president for the first time, appointed
the correspondent as agent for 522
in the interest of that paper. The
correspondent gave short lecture on
the Leader, and then got busy and
managed to dig up several new sub
scriptions. While he was yet busy
soliciting the Warden announced that
two representatives of the Leader
were at the door. Business was re-
cesed while Mr.. Juch and Mr.. Frank
liz explained the object of the Leader
and the part it takes in all union and
state affairs that are of interest to
union labor, after which several men,
bers made short remarks pertaining
to the same subject. Mr.. Juch then
called on the correspondent for an
address, but as he had had the floor
four times and had about run out of
talking material, he had to decline.
Now, Brothers, those of you who
have not got your name on the sub
scription list had better do so right
away, Take as an example Clyde
Stephens, he had not been a member
of 522 a week until he had his name
on the list; he has the right idea and
the dollar he paid for the Leader was
surely a good investment. The good
book says, "Now is the accepted
time"
The Pryor Twins say they had a
very pleasant time Sunday hunting
wild flowers.
Bro. Bruce Mallonee and grandson
Johnnie are sporting an old fashioned
hair cut. 0t's Union Made.)
Bro. Earl Fenis has some very good
ideas about the invention of hot
air engine even if some people laugh
and make fun of him. They did the
same with Franklin and his kite.
Millionaire Gould did the same with
Westinghouse and his wind brake as
he called it. But look at the outcome
of these two inventions. Where would
the world be without either of them
to day? What might look foolish to
some is often considered bright
idea by people who are advanced in
mechanical science. So give the man
with the idea a chance; he may dew
elop something for the advancement
of civilization.
The jottings did not appear in last
weeks Leader owing to circumstances
over which the writer had no control.
Bro. Fry says he is bothered a great
deal by a carpenter who has a room
adjoining his, by his constant talk of
the lost rabbit radish. Of course Mr..
Willison. is very strong on vegetable
production and gets busy planting
them in the carpenter shop at noon
hour.
The Mallonee family is just about
ready to put a boycott on Bro. Salr
Hottinger. Leo claims he bought a
setting of hen eggs from Sam and
Bruce declares that four days after
when Leo went to feed the hen she
had Matched eleven goslings AMI That
Sam had misrepresented the eggs.
The base ball season has again
opened, and 522 will probably have a
delegate. AS we have several pretty
good air sluggers we ought to have
some kind of show. There is also
some talk of getting nine out of the
pipe and tin shop. The dope of line
up runs: W. R. Browning, Treasurer,
Harold Sullivan, Captain, C. F. AL
fordson, Umpire, Fred Skinner,
Catcher, Bruce Mallonee, Pitcher,
Chas. Rodgers, 1st Base, Earl Fenis,
End Base, Clyde Weber, 3rd Base,
Thos. Hampton, S. S., w. Skinner,
R. F., Jas. Riley, L. F., C. Bowman,
C. F. We believe that with a little
practice and a few raw decisions by
the umpire they might possibly play
ball.
Bro. Thos. Hampton was off all
last week on account Of sickness.
