hours after p. m. to take your
dollar and see you get the Leader for
one year in return. So be cheerful,
brothers, kick in and help move this
beat. There is a life belt in every
column for the working classes, a nail
to hang your hat on and a chair TO
rest your weary bones.
Our attention has been called to the
fact that our assistant foreman, Mr..
Serial Watts, 283 Robbins Drive, is
the proud father of a bouncing baby
girl, born April 28th.
And still they come, but this one is
sure to be a pipe filter. Bro. VIM.
Amspaugh, pipe filter in the round
house, is the happy father of a twelve
pound boy. Bill says he knows he
will make a good pipe filter for ne
cries every time he sees a pipe
wrench. Send him up to 522 Bill, we
will help him out.
Some say he was out practicing ball
tossing to get his arm limbered up

for the Mogul's opening game. This
looks reasonable, as Fred Skinner and
Chas. Rogers were also absent at the
same time, and as they all hold I'M
portant positions in this nine they
were probably arranging some form
Of secret work to battle their op-
ponents in the first game of the
season.
Bro. Bruce Mallonee has returned
to work again after being confined to
the house several days by illness.
Bro. Sam Hottinger has returned
to work again after a weeks absence
caused by illness.
1t looks natural to see our veteran
coppersmith Bro. Fred Skinner back
at his old job. We all missed him
while he was off fighting old man Flu.
1t was long hard fought battle but
we are happy to say Fred is the vic
tor, and we hope to see his smiling
face among US for many years to
come. -Alfordson.

our labor paper, for it is the only
papre that will give the facts as they
are in Newark to-day. Enough

JOTTINGS FROM 522

Regular meeting called to order
with all officers, with one exception,
being in their respective places.
The usual order of business was
completed and the following appoint
ments were made: Bro. Earl Phenis,
recording and financial secretary of
the relief feature, Bros. Sullivan,
HummeE and Phenis, sick and floral
committee. Bros. Sullivan, Hummel
and Johnson were instructed to ar
range for an entertainment in honor
of Joe McKenna, the only one of the
sheet metal workers connected with
522 who did overseas duty. This
promises to be quite an event, and it
would be a good thing for 522 to turn
out 100 per cent to welcome our
friend Joe back. Perhaps he can tell
some things that he saw while on the
battle front that would surprise US.
Don't forget the date, May goth.
Notes
Our old friend Chas. Rogers was
present for the first time in several
months.
Walter Hummel managed to make
his bicycle keep the road long enough
to get to meeting again. He was
lucky enough to get on two COM
mittees which means that he will have
to be there again on the Goth.
Harold Johnson says he rode from
the four mile lock to the interurban
depot. But we have our doubts, he
looked as if he had been in some kind
Of race when he arrived at the hall.
Bro. Fred Skinner says the flu did
him one favor, it broke him of chew
ing tobacco. What will some of his
friends do now, Bill for instance?
Sergeant Royal S. Browning, of
Detroit, Mich, having just returned
from overseas with the 32nd division,
is visiting his brother VIM. R. Brown
ing of Cedar street.
Clyde Weber started for meeting
at $50 but at $50 he had not arrived.
He must have forgotten the date.

with the pipe shop nine, in place made
vacant by the resignation of Thos.
Hampton.

All stone Transient.

oNr Brown is correct in each and
all of his contentious both as to the
transient qualities of all stone and the
traditions which are forever ascot
ated with arches. Every famous arch
stands for the triumph Of one ruler
over another. A memorial to honor
boys who died that rulers and their
imperialism might be overthrown
ought certainly to be something e0-
tirely different.
Regardless OF that, arches are not
really impressive or significant. Even
