Ordered Out. Order Issued
In Support of Atlantic Union

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Em-
ployes of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company in Florida, Ala
bama, Georgia, South and North
Carolint, West Virginia, Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and
New Orleans, La, who are members
of the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union, were ordered to go on strike
Immediately tonight by S. ]. Konen-
kamp, president of the organization
President Konenkamp said the
strike order was issued in support of
Atlanta Telegraph and telephone OPP
orators who went out several days
ago, and asserted that it would un-
questionably be followed by a ma
tion-wide strike within a few days.
Il took the step upon learning
that Postmaster-General Burleson
had ordered wires returned to the
companies" Mr.. Konenkamp assert
ted. Authority for it was extend
ed by strike vote taken some time
ago, which has been held up to see
If we could not negotiate peaceable
the strike will also involve the Post
al Company, but that cannot be de-
termined yet"
President Konenkamp refused to
estimate the number of operators
whom he expected to respond to the
strike order.
"We feel that it places Newcomb

and emphasizes the necessity for a
strike against that company"

CABBAGE

The announcement made in last
weeks issue that Yalobusha County
can and does raise the finest cabbage
in this section of the state, has been
verified during the present week by
two of our excellent farmers.

coarse outer leaves trimmed off.
While on Tuesday Mrs. w. ]. Hill

ORGANIZE LOCALLY FOR
ARMENIAN-SYRIAN RELIEF

During the past week Prof. j. c..
Jones of Magee, Miss, organized a
local committee for Armenian-Sy-
rian relief. Refugees in those war
stricken devasted and ruined coun-
tries are simply perishing by the
housands-women and children
starving to death as high as 10000
in one single day The suffering is
terrible-horrible the people in
many instances resorting to canni-
balism in orded to subsist,
The quota of funds apportioned
to the state was $150,000, and Yalo-
busha county's quota was set at $2,-
500. In order to raise the county's
quota, the following committee was
appointed, viz:
Rev. j. r. G. Hewlett, Chairman; /;
Mrs. E. McLarty, Sec'y.; Rev. ]. f.
Hobson, Mrs. Rowe, Mrs. S. E. Coop
er, Mrs. A. Ford, Mrs. w. B. Maui
din, Mrs. Vernon Benson and Mrs.
McLain. In addition to the COM
mittee named, a number of men at
the |. G. shops have been appointed
to solicit aid from the shop men.
The people of this community
feel like they have been called upon
heavily during the war period and
some are beginning to complain-but
say, we haven't been even hurt yet
Where is there one among us that
don't eat his "three square meals"
every day, and have every necessity
and many luxuries on the side?
Think of the thousands of women
and children starving to death in that
war stricken country while we litter
ly roll in plenty. Help these dying
people, you'll never miss it.

PLYMOUTH, May 31.-Seaplane
NC-4, pride of the American navy,
crossed Plymouth sound this after
noon, circled the place whence the
Pilgrim father sailed in their cookie.
shell ship for the new world in 1920
and ahghted in the Cattewater, her
epoch making transatlantic flight
ended.
AS she came into view through the
haze, easily, recognizable among the
escorting British fliers by her great
bulk, England gave her the splendid
welcome she deserved.
Leaving Ferrol Spain where Lieut..
Commander Albert c.. Read, had Sc
lected to spend Friday night at 6:27
this morning the NC-4 covered the
distance of approximately 500 miles
to Plymouth in less than seven hours.
Despite adverse wind and weather
conditions the NC-4 covered the last
leg without hitch to mar the ex-
plot. Safe and sound, but thor
oughly fatigued by the physical NJ
deal Of the trip, as well as mental
strain, Commander Read and his
crew are sleeping peacefully tonight.
The rousing welcome Of Plymouth
residents to the American air men
and the cordial reception given 10
them aboard the Rochester by Rear
Admiral Plunkett, the Mayor of
Plymouth, British and American Off
cials and the crews of the other NC
planes, reached climax with the
first actual landing of the victorious
crew at the spot from which the pa-
grim fathers set forth for America.
There was wonderful interest in
today's fight, although it was eclips-
ed by the previous flights of this sea
plane, for in the opinion of the A
merican naval officer and British
public generally, the NC-4 reached
the peak of her great adventure
when she spanned the Atlantic at
Lisbon. The last stage of the jour
ney was regarded by airmen chiefly
as "side show" to attest the firm
friendship which the war has cement
ed between this country and the
United States.
British Share American Pride
The pride felt by Americans in the
extraordinary feat of the NC-4 finds
echo tonight in genuine admiration,
expressed by British naval men and
air men for the crews skill and
pluck and the we'll worked out plans
of the American navy to facilitate
and safe guard the flight.
Early in the morning, when word
was flashed that the NC-4 had starter
on the final leg of her journey, a
heavy rain was falling but shortly af-
ter noon the skies cleared and ideal
conditions prevailed.
The NC-4> flew in rain and fog
through the Bay of Biscay and fog
also was encountered off Brest, COM
pelling the plane to keep at low at
titude.
Although news of the progress of
the craft was passed along by war
ships on the way, it was not until
noon that word was received from
Commander Read himself.

A GOOD REMEDY TO APPLY
TO YALOBUSHA CANDIDATES

Beware of the political coward
who attempts to poison your mind
against some candidate or some op-
ponent with dirty lie. AS soon as
such creature button-holes you and
starts his floodgates of filth, stop
him with a stern command and in
vite and insist upon him accompany
ing you to the man he is lying a.
bout and there, in the presence and
hearing of the latter, make the state
ment he started to pour into your
ears. If you will do this, you will
see how fast the filth sewer will hush
up and stink away. This is the most
effective way to stop dirty politics
and silence the sneaky towards
whose craven hearts fail them in
courage to say in the open what they
would under cover of secrecy, where
they feel safe in the hope that those
whom they would besmirch will ever
remain in ignorance of the covered
assault attempted. "-Woodville Re-
publican.

tion, await action.

Much general legislation also is on
the calendars, with the railroad, un-

questions being pressed for solution.

much attention in the senate and ad-
ditional addresses on matters connect
ed with the peace conference are
planned this week. Speakers will in
clude Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
chairman of the foreign relations COM
mittee in favor of league of nations.

Country in Foreign Field

Definite word has been received
by Mr.. and Mrs. Fred D. Gotten of
this city of the death of their son,
Howard Leland Gotten. who passed
away on Nov. 2, 1918. Howard en-
tered the service June %, 1918, going
with the boys from Stutsman county
to Camp Dodge. He advanced rapid

Chaplain Hickey writes of Howard,
which is consoling to his family and
friends:
