The postal employees indorsed the
bill introduced in the senate by the
Honorable George H. Moses of New
Hampshire, which calls for an increase
of thirty-five per cent to all postal
employees. 1t is we'll known fact
that the wages paid postal employees
are about fifty per cent lower than
that paid in other employment requir-
ing the same amount of skill and dill

that they will not permit of the base

they are carrying burden that is
fast becoming unbearable 1t is be

At a meeting held Tuesday at the
Y. M. c. A., postal employees from
ali over the county decided to perfect
a permanent organization in order
that a more concerted effort might be
made in securing the necessary legis-
lation to increase the present salaries
of all postal employees.
The following officers were elected:
President, William McKemy, of Ham
iiton; vice president, Frank ]. Todd,
of Oxford; secretary, Arthur L. ia
cobs, of Hamilton; treasurer, William
A. Biddinger, of Hamilton. The Hon
orable John T. Mugavin, of Cincinnati,
was present and addressed the meet

pointed and this committee will do
everything in its power to place be-

LABOR DAY OUTING
Committee is Making Elaborate
Plans--Parade to Be
Biggest Ever.

We have had Labor Day celebra-
tions in past years and we have had
Labor Day parades, but none of them
will compare with the celebration and
parade of this year. The committee
is holding nightly sessions and many
of the committee are sacrificing time
during the day in their efforts to out
do anything ever attempted before
in the way of Labor Day celebrations.
AS usual, the place for holding the
big event will be the fair grounds No
other place in Butler county would be
big enough to hold this years event.
Everything that was ever used to
make big outing will be there and
then some. More bands will be on
the grounds than ever before on one
DAY. The country store contributions
are rolling in. Dancing will be in
dulged all day and evening. Fireworks
such as has never before been seen
on the fair grounds will be displayed
in the evening.
But where organized labor will
really shine on the big day is the pa
rade which will precede the big out
ing. Never were there so many men
nor so many unions in line as will be
on the morning of Labor Day this
year. Many of the organizations will
be in special uniforms and will be in
line 100 per cent. The whole program
and lineup will appear in The Press
next week. And by the way, watch
for The Press next week, it will be
a peach.

THE REASON WHY.

Deposits in the Pensacola banks on June 80,
1919, totaled $685., 644.75, showing an increase
of 25 per cent the total of June 80, 1913 All
records were smashed in each of the three finan-
cial Institutions, with the greatest volume of
business ever transacted.
1t is stated that bankers are unable to assign
any particular cause for the tremendous increase
in their business, but attribute it, to the general
prosperity, due to Pensacolas industrial growth.
But there must be some particular force which
has been instrumental in increasing the business
of the banking houses in this city twenty-five per
cent. This is a tremendous increase, and back
of it must be something more than the industrial
activity, which was even more apparent from
June, 1917, to June, 1913, than it has been for
the twelve months just passed.
No one who has kept his finger the public
pulse and his to the ground can doubt but
that the closing of the saloons of Escambia coun-
ty has had much to do with this tremendous in
crease in the banking business. Men who for
merly spent their money in barrooms are put
ting it in saving banks. Where hundreds of thou
sands of dollars spent out of the city by the
agents of large breweries, today that same money
is in circulation right here in Escambia county.
No better illustration of the good results of
prohibition could be given.

letter from Sam Gompers to members
of congress, emphasizing the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor's Opposition
to mob rule and lynching," as ex-
pressed in a resolution adopted by the
a9th annual convention. Congressman
Frank Clark, of Gainesville, Florida,
has written peppery reply to Mr..
Gompers.
Congressman Clark calls attention
to the fact that in the national CAPT

white women doing war work have
been 'ravished by negro brutes who
are still at large" while the police
authorities are concentrating their ef-
forts to see that mo contraband whis-
key invades the sacred precincts of
the capital" He says that lynchings
in the south have been in defense Of
virtuous womanhood. that punishment
to brutes has been swift and that "in
the south they have always got the
right man" and that the certainty of
summary punishment has undoubtedly
deferred other brutes from the com
mission of this crime"
He suggests to Mr. Gompers no. 10

fate of the rapist. At the same time
he pays tribute to the Industrious and

nothing about conditions, or whose

A GREAT COUP.

The completion of arrangements whereby Pen
sacola becomes the home shipping port for line
of ocean steamships, to the British Isles, to af-
ford an outlet especially for exporters from Mem
phis, Tenn, is one of the most important an
nouncements which has been made since the war
changed the map of the world and presented to
the Gulf Ports new and greater opportunities
than have ever before been offered.
When at the invitation of the Pensacola Cham
Der of Commerce, men high in the affairs of the
nation visited Pensacola, and spoke in regard to
the shipping problems here, it was stated that it
would be necessary in order to get in step with
the other shipping centers, to not only have an
outlet for exports, but to have some special ter
ritory to tap, in order that the carriers might
find their cargo at the port of call
The public spirited men who are back of the
movement here have done more than this, for
they have brought together the port, the ships
and the cargo, a triumvrate which spells sue
cess in no uncertain terms.
With the approval of the United States Ship
ping Board, steamer is already scheduled to
sail, to be followed in two weeks by the Cushnoc,
from the yards of the local shipbuilding COM
pany.
The possibilities of the step which has been
taken almost unlimited, and the fact that the
Memphis Chamber or Commerce Is SOlldly back
of the movement means not only the success of
this initial venture, but is augury of CONNER
cial bond which is bound to become more secure
as the interests of the two cities become more
closely iEtertwined.
That the who are fostering the move
ment will have the solid backing of every COM
mercial organization in the city was quickly DEM
onstrated by the congratulatOry words which
were heard every side, and the expressed de-
termination of contributing every possible sup
port.
The men to whose initiative and unflagging
work the consumation of the plans for the line
are due, united in their appreciation of the
whole-hearted manner in which the Memphis
business men have entered into the compact and
the splendid cooperation which has been recev-
ed from the senior senator from Florida.
Senator Fletcher has been unfailing in the
support he has given West Florida in every le-
ultimate enterprise.
Nothing that has received his sanction, or
thatof government officials, has been of so great
Importance as this shipping line, the potentiali-
ties of which are imitable.
With the vast resources at command, the best
harbor south of Newport News, and the strong
men back of this movement Pensacola will go
forward to even greater things, and the COM
mercial supremacy of this port will be assured.

Mrs Mary Walker did not take any
money from c.. p. Francisco. Tho
money she had was secured by han
diing the Pensacola journal, for which
she was agent at Warrington.
FRANCISCO came to see Mrs. Walker
the latter part of January. The state

trying to blackmail her. A promise,
TOO was made to Mrs. Walker that

FOUR GREAT FACTORS.

A high density cotton compress for Pensacola
is now practically assured, for without this mod
Srn equipment it would be impossible to secure
full advantage of the new Memphis Pensacola
shipping line. One of the largest products from
the Memphis section is cotton, and the shippers
who have been in communication with Memphis
declare that the cotton cannot be handled through
this port until such press is established
With line of Pensacola built steamers a
modern compress, dry dock, and a fuel oil sta
ton, this port will receive such impetus as
must inevitably place it at the very head of its
class.

FOR NATIONAL UNITY.

"Pessimism in these days Of war in civilian
failure to believe that this old world can be made
better and that reason will take the place Of
force, is objectionable" declared Secretary DAN
iels, in recent public speech
"Withthe return of peace, with the new duties
and new responsibilities, with no self imposed
restraints which war invoked, is there not the
danger that the press will lose its sense of pub
lie service and elevation? 1t was tower of
strength for national unity and noble ideals in the
serious days of the war. May we not trust that
the same sense of service will characterize it in
the difficult road of reconstruction upon which
we must travel?
Secretary Daniels has always had way of
taking the newspapers into his confidence, of ap-
pealing to them, of depending upon them. He
is an old newspaper man himself, and he knows
Just how to reach the men of the Fourth Estate,
just as Secretary Glass does.
In one of the informal talks during the last
Liberty Loan campaign, when Secretary Glass
addressed himself particularly to the men of the
Fourth Estate, who were gathered in Atlanta,
he said: when l told the people in Washington
that was going out to put this loan over the top
they told me could not do it, unless put my
talks in the terms of dollars. And 1 refused to
TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IN TERMS OF
DOLLARS"
This attitude of Secretary Glass put that Lib
erty Loan over the top, just as Secretary Daniels
put over his grape juice for the navy with a
bang, and with the people of the country back
of him.
| Both of these men know how to get at the
people because they understand them. They are
students of human nature, and they know if you
are going to get at the heart of the American
public, you have got to trust that public. You
have got to say to the public: ct is up to you.
We know you will do the square thing" AND
YOU HAVE GOT TO BELIEVE 1T WHEN YOU
SAY 1T.
These two men know how to handle men, be-
stock in trade. And to deal with human nature
and get any good out of it, you have got to be-
lieve in the divinity that is in every man. You
and not the worst.

cratic Editors Association at Fort Wayne said:

In order TO eftectuate the resolu-
lions of the st, Louis meeting OF the
American Legion endorsing the prin-
ciples of land development as means
of rehabilitating returning soldiers. a

the field of constructive national eff
fort through some broad comprehen-
sive plans for the economic reclama-
ton of all lands susceptible Of recla-
