Form Mothers Club
At Parish Meeting

The Mothers Club was formed yes
terday afternoon In the parish house
of st. Peters church. Owing to tho
weather conditions not as many
mothers as were expected were able
to turn out as the children were to
be brought along and anyone with a
tiny infant could not possibly bring it
out yesterday. Although thnf hovinG
was small, Rev. w. NorthS Jones
who is acting as organizer of h club
is greatly encouraged as he was no
titled that a number moro will attend
the next meeting. which VIII take
place Thursday February G, at j
o'clock.
The speaker of the afternoon was
Rev. DR.. Stensen Of the Speakers Blu
reau of the Atlantic Division of the
Red Cross. The principal theme of
his address was 1.-The Heroes on This
Side OF the Atlantic" the boys who
didn't get across to the other tide to
the field Of spectacular bravery. In
Camp Dix, the one that he was gen.
orally connected with. was filled with
silent heroes. six thousand men died
with the influenza" no bugies were
blc~ for them, their names were not
IN the newspapers. They were the
silent heroes, just Hike the wives and
mothers at home. The influenza was
r ing in the base hospital men to vol
unteer as. orderlies to go into a place
running as great a chance of death as
the men over '-yonder In Flanders
Fields" and two whole companies of
the 34th division volunteered. Hun
dreds of them died, but their names
were not listed on the honor roll.
Don't detract your praise from the
brave men over there, but just re-
member that a number of those re-
turning "heroes" were slackers and
were compelled to 60 with their cont
panies and vet q number of brave
men whom it was necessary for the
safety of this country TO keep on this
side OF the Atlantic you look upon IA
below the pedestal of the ma that
went lover h top"

Tt shorten a long conversation, we
adopted Eloise as a friend, and, mo-
until she fully realized our sincerity,
did she reveal her identity.
Eloise belongs to a famoRs Belgian
family. She belonged to the court
circle. and was betrothed to a man OF
high standing when the German horde
broke over the Belgian border. Her
fiance, an army officer, had permission
to visit her father's chateau to marry
her. lie died defending her. and we
did not need to be told what happened
next. Shame. she said. o keeps her
from returning to her people.
"Bu today you have wiped out that
shame, Won believe" said mother.
And. because your family Is honored
In your country. you can help hum
dreds OF girls whose grief you under
stand!"
Eloise may revive like the violcts. 1
thought. but something has been kill
cd in her which nothing can bring to
life. Her soul has been scared by
what she has lived through
At last it was arranged that Elolse
will remain as our guest until h can
obtain passports. Then she will re-
turn to Belgium and c~onsecrate her
life TO tie service of other girls whose
souls have been SCARED like her own.

LICKING COUNTY MEMORIAL
MOVEMENT
(By John Bush)

At the regular meeting of Newark
Trades and Labor Assembly, Dec. 8,
1918, a movement looking to the erec-
tion Of an appropriate memorial In
honor of the soldiers, sailors and
marines from Newark city and Lick
ing county was inaugurated. Many
suggestions were offered, but the
most poplar idea was the erection OF
a community building of suitable size
to furnish a large auditorium for
general assembly purposes. a commo-
dious hall and ante-rooms for the ac-
ccmmodation of the labor bodies, to-
gether with rooms wherein civic Or
ganizations could meet. This scheme
was the idea of Bro. Geo. H. Hamil-
ton, and met with such general ap-
proval that a committee was appoint
ed to take the initial steps toward its
successful realization.
The proposition has been discussed
by the people of both city and county
in every walk of life, and has met the
approval of all. This fact was made
apparent by the thoughts expressed
at an informal luncheon in the Ma
sonic Temple last Friday evening, at
which time a Memorial Commission
Committee was appointed whose duty
it is to perfect permanent organiza-
ton that will represent all the people
of Licking county. The committee
consists of A. A. Stasel, chairman,
Mrs. J. R. Fitzgibbon, E. A. Hoskin-
son, S. A. Mears, A. S. Mitchell, T.
]. Appleyard, Jr., W. c. Metz, Mrs.
C. w. Miller, John Bush and w. W.
Davis. In selecting the members of
the proposed permanent organization
the committee has expressed their
desire to please all by having COM
plete representation of the people of
Licking county. To do this we must
have the loyal, earnest, united and
moral support of the people in whose
interest the committee is working.
There are a number of counties
throughout the United States who are
making similar preparations in honor
of the boys who served their country
in the great war. There is no other
county in the U. S. A. that can or
should feel more proud of her native
sons than Licking. They have re-
sponded to the call of the nation on
every occasion in a manner that has
proven them worthy of all the graft
tude that the people of the county
can bestow upon them. While we,
who are living and enjoying the bles-
sings of liberty for which they
fought, and many gave their lives,
should not forget the gratitude we
owe.
The erecting of a memorial as a
token of the honor and esteem in
which the soldiers and sailors are
held would be fitting manifestation.
This building should be one that when
added to the list of handsome public
buildings would not be surpassed by
any in the way of a substantial struct-
ure or architectural beauty.

THE UNION LABEL A FACTOR in
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

One of the big things developed by
the war as a stabllizer of industrial
conditions was the need for more
extended adoption of the principle OF
collective bargaining.
The War Labor Board which was
created by proclamation of the Presl-
dent, for the purpose of adjusting
disputes in war industries, declared
as it's first principle "the right OF
workers to organize in trade unions
and to bargain collectively through
chosen representatives is recognized
and affirmed. This right shall not
be denied, or interfered with by the
employers in any manner whatso-
ever"
The use of union label, shop card
or working button to designate the
product of trade unionists or their
EMPLOYMENT in an establishment is
predicated upon a trade agreement,
carrying with it the collective bar
gaining principle, with all that this
implies.
When an appeal is made to give
preference to the purchase of COM
modities bearing the union label or
a shop where a card is displayed or
a button worn to distinguish member
ship in trade union, it is a request
to recognize fundamental principle
of the trade union movement, the
trade agreement.
Under the trade agreement the
workers have full and equal oppor-
tunity to regulate their hours of labor
and wage scale, as except this meas
ure of justice is accorded them, there
can be no union label, shop card or
button agreement with any employer.
Justice and equity are therefore
guaranteed to those who use their
purchasing power in favor of the
trade agreement, as eXemplified by
the Union Label, shop card or work
ing button, as well as high class work
manship and humane treatment, and
in addition to this is the satisfaction
of knowing that a consistent demand
for labeled goods strengthens the
trade agreement principle as well as
the Union Label.

WHAT SHALL WE DO?

The gradual spread of Boshevism
through Europe need occasion no
alarm in this country, provided the
cause of Bolshevism is removed. Ihe
peaceful, law-abiding citizen of yester-
dav does not become the rantlng re-
volutionist of today unless there is
some reason for the sudden change;
therefore. if the deadly epidemic now
raging in the foreign countries is TO
he kept from our shores it will be
necessary to so strengthen our social
and economic system that there Will
be no favorable conditions for the
propagation of the revolutionary
germ.
Bolshevism is militant discomfort,
disgust with existing conditions and
a reckless desire to bring about a
change. irregardless of the after
effect of such action. The whole
thing might be defined as a nation
suddenly finding means OF giving
expression to it's desperation. And
history records that when people
reach that stage they become insane,
their only desire being to burn and
to kill, seemingly wishing to destroy
all that would remind them Of past
misery and suffering.
Since 1865 there has been a grow
ing dissatisfaction with industrial and
political conditions in the United
States, and the discomfort that is now
apparent is mererly rumbling OF
protest against the injustice that has
been growing more aggravated dur
ing the past decade. Men OF more
thoughtful calibre, seeing the trend
of events, have formed trades unions
and in this way built a small barrier
of protection around themselves;
while those whose minds were not so
nimble continued in the old plodding
way, knowing, but not understanding,
how they were being exploited. Hav-
ing no way in which to express their
resentment it acted as an internal
fire, slowly burning into their brain
the idea that force-destructive force
is the only method that will bring
relief.
Swollen fortunes and abject poverty
cannot live side by side in peace and
harmony. No millionaire has ever
been sent to the penitentiary, no
matter how grave his offense against
society. Men, women and children
starve while thousands of dollars are
spent for an afternoons entertain
nent for aristocratic dogs.
There is nothing to cause surprise
in the appearance of Bolshevism or
revolution. 1t is the inevitable result
of ignorance-on the part of the in
dustrial and political rulers.
