Homecoming Arrangements Have All
Been Perfected.

The general and local committees
ftr the Homecoming celebration on
next Monday have all perfected their
plans for the festivities OF the day
and are now busy getting things in
shape 10 successfully carry out the
days events as planned
The baseball committee OF which
Mr.. Perkins Is the chairman was un-
able to get Niagara as advertised.
but they got team that is just as
good and one that ought TO create as
much interest. the Ishpeming team.
This team IS made up OF fine amateur
players and will give Alpha Just as
hard tussle as Niagara.
The committee on the parade has
been very busy during the week in an
effort 10 get as many OF the boys out
In uniform as possible.
There Is a mistaken notion abroad
among some Of the boys and II is
that they are asked to put on their
uniforms and be exhibited to the peo-
pie or the community. This is a very
wrong idea.
Crystal Falls, Alpha, Amasa and
Mansfield are proud OF their boys who
went into the service They have
never had an opportunity to see any
nuyaber OF them in uniform. They
m3rched TO the station with the diff
ferent parties that left, worked and
contributed to their comfort as faith
fully and. patriotically as any COM
munity in the United States. II our
boys didn't get the benefit OF their la
bors and their priyations It isn't be-
cause the people didn't work or be-
cause they didn't contribute and
think OF the boys at the front all OF
the time.
The war is over now and the many
patriotic men and women who formed
that line behind the front ask the
boys TO put on their uniforms that the
people Of the community may have
one glance at the number that they
sent forward, worked for. and prayed
for the safe return Of. II makes no

ganization, under brainy leadership,
has grown to be a power 1t has been
able to accomplish much good for
Federal employees everywhere because
its membership in political centeers
have adroitly welded political power.
So long asc the employees of the
Government were unorgantzed they
obtained not the slightest recognition
from Congress. A Government, en-
ploye was, so far as Congress was
concerned, a negligible quantity abso-
lutely- He was kicked about in
speeches in Congress, refused any leg
islation to better his condition, and
vast lost in the shuttle. When his or
ganization speaks for him in Congress
now some attention Is paid to him.
Back in the States are fellow-mem-
bers of the same organization who
vote, and their votes amount to some
thing in close districts.
Hikhsrew. Grow Tired.
Senatorial and Congressional high
brows have become tired Of having to
listen to the representatives of the
Federal organization. In the halls of
Congress and in their private offices
they receive and talk with men rep
resenting combinations of big bust
ness without objection. At, their So
cial gatherings these representatives
OF special interests are always on
hand to get in their work in adroit
manner
The Federation of Federal EN-
ployes has received the cordial sup
port of the American Federation of
Labor In all just legislation that has
been sought. 1t was entitled to this
support. Officials of the Federation
OF Labor have appeared before Con-
gressional committees and bodies
asking help for the Federal employees.
Even with this powerful support the
Government employe is today the
worst paid employe in the United
states and some national legislators
are willing that he shall Say that
way.
The rather general opinion in
Washington today was that Congress
can spend its time more appropriately
trying to enact national legislation
that will reach into this whole aues-
ton OF the relations of employer and
employe rather than in trying to swat
Government employees who have al
ways been punching bags for GER
tain Congressional small fry who
could make capital out of this method
back in their home districts.

D. c. TEACHERSASK
MORE PAY At ONCE

The High School Teachers Associa-

gress providing for an aucrease of at
least 60 per cent in pay for high
school teachers. This was decided at
4 meeting of the association in Busi-
ness High School last night.
The increase is to be effective only
until the Reclassification Committee
completes its work. The association
announces this is the beginning Of a
vigorous campaign to obtain the de-
sired increase.
This association is entirely sep
arate from the High School Teachers
Union. Miss Alice Deal. president OF
the union, says it is doing nothing a
present on the matter as a raise in
pay is provided in the bill now before
Congress for pay increase for Dis
