FRIENDS OF IRISH FREEDOM

Despite the inclement weather a
large audience assembled at st. Fran
els de Sales church Sunday evening
at the meeting of the Friends of Irish
Freedom. Rev. Father O'Boylan
opened the meeting by stating that
if the American people knew more
about the Irish as a nation they would
love them. Further along he stated
that the greatest strategists and
gamest fighters in the English parlia-
ment were Irish or of Irish descent.
At the conclusion of his address
he introduced Father Powers of
Steubenville, who began his remarks
by stating that this was not re-
ligious question and that the meeting
was not religious one. He spoke of
the united efforts of the American
people to bring the late war to close
and the universal unrest and dissatis-
faction existing today, and asked why
should such things be? He answered
this by saying that our ideals had
been shattered, President Wilson
event to Europe with his fourteen
points and returned with gold brick
manufactured in England"
Timothy S. Hogan, formerly attor
ney general of Ohio was the last
speaker to be introduced by Rev.
O'Boylan. The sentiment every true
Irishman is a true American, and
nothing shows better the loyalty of
the Irish of America than the valor
displayed by them when they fought
side by side with English soldiers to
win a losing fight for England" was
greatly applauded. In touching upon
the proposed League of Nations, Mr..
Hogan said the barter of Shantung
would go down as one of the blackest
pages of American history, and asked
"If the best President Wilson could
secure from the assembled nations
was promise, what would the United
States get in the League of Nations ?"
All the speakers received the closest
attention and their remarks elected
frequent applause. The meeting was
closed with singing the Star Spangled
Banner.

HOW CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS S
DISCOVERED AMERICA

A school boy in London turned this
in as a composition on Christopher
Columbus:
Columbus was a man who could
make an egg stand on end without
crushing it. Tie King of Spain sent
for him and asked:
"Can you discover America
EYES," Columbus answered, eff you
will give me a boat"
He got his boat and sailed in the
direction that he believed America
was. The sailors mutinied and in
sisted there was no such place as
America, but pre- 5ently the pilot came
to him and said:
columbus, land is in sight"
When the boat neared the shore
Columbus saw a group of natives.

companions and said:

S. and O. E. is in most flourishing
condition, and the membership is
more firmly united than ever and
determined that their efforts to ad-
vance the interests Of unionism shall
be crowned with success.
1t is desired to call the attention
of the union men to the fact that
the Licking County Creamery is still
on the unfair" list, and to remind
them of their duty in this matter. The
difficulty at the Bottle Co. is also
still unsettled, but we hope to have
it adjusted in the near future.
Much satisfastion is felt over the
adjustment of the differences at He
bron power plant of the o. E. rail
way, which has resulted in 100 per
cent organization in that place, a
material increase in wages and an
eight hour day.
Now, brothers, let us all stick to-
gether and present united front to
the enemy The clouds are clearing
away, sunshine is breaking through
and soon we shall reap the rewards
which await all loyal union men.

THE FARMER AND DAYLIGHT SAVING

The Hudson Dispatch sees much merit in the fight being
made bv the farmers against the daylight saving law on the
ground that in order to get their milk supply to trains running
on The new schedule of time it necessitates getting up at $50
o'clock in the morning, sun time. Also the farmers claim that
the change in the hours breaks up the routine to which the
cows are accustomed and hinders their producing capacity.
To overcome this objection on the part of the farmers
and still retain the daylight saving for the benefit OF the thous-
ands of factory and city workers who now secure an extra hour
for pleasure and recreation at the close of every day. the
Dispatch suggests that the schedule of the milk trains De
changed SO as to run an hour later or, in other words at te
same time they would run if the clocks had not been set ahead
an hour.
But there is still another objection to the dayhght
saving from the farmers point of view. rms is IN connect
ton with harvesting the hay crop. Everyone at all iamiiiaf
with life on the farm knows that hay cannot be stored In the
harm as long as it is wet or the least bit damp. For that reason
the hay, after being cut, is spread out over the heid ana ire
ouentlv turned so that the days sun will thoroughly dry it.
Not until around 8 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon is it safe 20
begin pitcbine hay into the NOW. If you ever want to see a
farmer hustle you should watch the way that last load OF hay
is rushed to the barn while the roll of distant thunder warns
of the approaching shower, in an effort to get the last t'rk
full under the roof before the first drops of rain begin to fall.
But with the clocks advanced an hour ahead uhcer ue
new order of things, 8 or 4 o'clock in the old days now means
2 or 8 o'clock and that is entirely too early, for in the case Of
an extra heavy dew or early morning rain, the hay has not been
been thoroughly dried by that time. Five O'Clock arrives Wien
it used to be 4 o'clock and the farm hand these days is working
on an eight or nine hour schedule the same as the factory hand
and he insists upon quitting when the whistle blows In the
nearby village. The result is the farmers hay is only half IN
and must remain on the ground exposed to another morn
ing's dew whereupon the process of>drying has got to be gone
through with all over again.
Yes, there are two sides to this daylight saving idea' me
farmer deserves a fair hearing and consideration as well as
the man in the city.

GAS WORKS PROPERTY

Purchase of the gas works property to further increase
the city's holdings along the river front is one OF the most I'M
portant matters now before the municipal authorities. me
Board of Aldermen is on record as favoring the construction
Of docks along the river and there is a great public demand
for a waterfront park. Just how, when and where these de-
yelopments are to take place is a matter yet to be settled and
if they are to be done right a city plan is essential before much
money is spent lest a serious mistake is made that will have to
be undone in future years.
But it is certain that whether docks or parks, the prop
erty along the river must belong to the city and the gas works
TODAY are the greatest obstacle in realizing this ambition.
The necessity of acting without further delay in the mat
Ter of purchasing the gas works property is caused by the fact
that the gas company has got to make extensive additions to
its plant. 1t has not been keeping abreast with the growth OF
the city. The Public Utility Commission has ordered the work
done and preparations are being made to carry out the in
structions. 1t is apparent that if the gas company makes fur
Their heavy improvements on the present site in Linden street
the price when the city finally purchases the property, as it
eventually must, will be considerably greater than at pres
ent. Naturally, the time to buy is before there is any further
investment made by the gas company, and that means the deal
should be consumated now.
The Joint committee made up of the aldermen and the
men appointed by the mayor, can, no doubt, arrive at a salts
factory figure with the gas company. The company must real
ize that the logical place for their gas plant is somewhere out
on the meadows between this city and Sewaren, especially as
there is reason to believe that the main supply of gas will
come from Elizabeth, while Woodbridge and Roosevelt must
be served with gas as well as Perth Amboy. OF course, should
there be a deadlock thereis always condemnation proceedings
to be resorted to.
The point is, for the future development of the city it is
essential that the property on which the present gas works
stands must belong to the municipality. Now that a move
ment is on foot to obtain possession of this tract the matter
should be carried through to a successful conclusion.
