IN, and their depart met the regret

ton, and their depart met the regret
of all.
Pursuant to the recent establish
ment of but two meetings each month,
the brothers claim some loneSomeness
when the vacant Friday rolls round,
but however it is thus in their daily
and laboring walks of life, they meet
and pass on, not as strangers, but as
common friends, leaving behind them
inspirations of thought and concern
for those who must constantly toll
thru the passing days.
The maneuvers of capital and labor
is always a pressing theme with la
boris victims who struggle on thru
one blue Monday to another, and the
conditions of today affords topic OF
vast and vital Importance.
Inasmuch as the wage Garner Of
today is ever confronted with life's
strange propositions, a summary OF
the random observations leads back
to the recent past when the toilers
were cautioned to beware of the unre-
strainable industrial maelstrom that
would surely pursue the aftermath Of
the war.
Those who labored were undeiably
urged to meet the trend of prosperity
and get the money while the getting
was good, and to increasingly abide
within the bounds of common sense,
economy and thift. And all were fur
ther admonished that things would
not continue forever at the unsur-
passed mad pace, and that the sur
vival of the fttest would inevitably
prevail with soul crushing abruptness.
Without a doubt the advancement
of these deep rooted convictions were
gained thru the interpretations of
labor and like conditions in the an
nails of goneby war times. For it is
we'll known that the finis of the con-
fict of 1860-65 resulted in similar
situation as of 1919. And thus it is
that vast numbers of warriors upon
arriving home from the battlefields,
some hale and hearty, others weak
and manned, have met with the dis
tressing proposition of being unable
to continue their former vocation, or
the finding of an agreeable means for
the furtherance of their livelihood. !.
When all is said and done and the
current evidence of life's whirlpool of
today is examined for the final judg-
ment, it is found wanting and is to
sadly reminiscent Of the records Of
past periods, only the present status
is Of greater proportions.
However in view of those who have
labored, listened and learned with the
passing of the times, it is but the
naked convictions of the thoughtful
that the councils of labor are up
against depthful issue of unknown
results in this period of partial in
dustrial depression. Added to this
turmoil are the countless warriors,
who by circumstances are forced to
idle with the left at home boys who
were up to the recent closing of the
world strife busily engaged in war
industries.
Inasmuch as there are numerous
plans to alleviate the trying situa-
ton, the truth in the main, however,
is that all humane efforts and power
must be put forth to more than ale
viate. For it is fastly becoming the
opinion that the masters of
capital and the defenders of labor
should meet upon common basis
and eliminate all depressing prob
lens. Out of the fruits of this humane
should be established unim-
peachable principles for the perpetual
of all humanity.
