Newspaper Publishers AS
ISOLATION Holds Annual
Convention.

New York, April 25.-Appeais to
American newspaper publishers to
aid in lighting the spread of ultra
radical principles, were made by the
heads, Of two international printing
trades unions today at h annual con-
Publishers association. The days
sessions were devoted entirely to labor
questions and by invitation the heads
Of the four international unions en-
gagged in the newspaper printing
trade addressed the convention.
y The four union leaders were James
J. Freel, president of h International
~Stereotyping and Electrical Workers

dent Of the Printing Freshmen and
Assistants union; John w. Hays, Sec
rotary and treasurer of the Interna-
tional Typographical union. and Mat
thew Woll, president Of the I%nterna-
.tional Photograph Engravers' union.
Mr.. McHugh said that many men,
away by the doctrines Of B~olshevism,
but that all the officers of the interna-
tional unions Of the printing trade
realized the fallacy of such doctrines
and were strenuously combating
their spread. He asked for the hearty
cooperation of members of h pub
fishers association in combating the
SVAD u SACIl III A11S1PlCS as o0vS~
Gated by the Industrial Workers of
the World.
A similar plea was made by Mr.
Wolf, who spoke of the value Of the
arbitration agreement between his
union and the association. He said
this agreement had fully justified
itself by keeping industrial peace dur
ing the trying days of the war. MI.
Vol asked the cooperation Of the
publishers in bringing about satisfac-
tory conditions in their offices and in
aiding, through the columns of their
papers, the union officers in fighting
extreme radicalism by r%efraining from
needless advertising Of agitators.
Mr.. Hays discussed the principle Of
arbitration and declared that the Of
f1cers of his union regarded it as the
only sane method Of settling differ
ences. He spoke of the difficulties

problems and problems of compen- sation and insurance. Returned soldiers and sailors must be helped to find jobs. Problems of health vocational training and readjust- ment of disabled soldiers are at flood-tide.
 Approached from another angle the reasons why Home Service mus. continue it's war service for some months are:
 Service men and their families have become accustomed to turn to the Red Cross for neighbofly counsel and aid.
 "The public expects it.
 "The Red Cross is pledged to the public and to service men and their families to see the job through to a workmanlike finish.
 Federal departments and bur eaus which touch the interests and welfare of soldiers and sailors families are increasingly availing themselves of Home Service Sec tions to make personal contact with the families.
 "What are some of the needs which people everywhere who want Home Service to go on have in mind? They appear to be thinking chiefly of the families which need help in time of trouble. No place so small but has it's families who at one time or another face grave difficulties. A child falls sick and doctor or nurse is needed; a moth CT dies, leaving little children who must be found a suitable home with relatives or foster parents factory closes, throwing the young father out of work, a new joh must be found and perhaps temper ary financial assistance arranged young man develops tuberculosis and would gladly accept sanitarium care if he knew its importance and where to apply for admittance; 2 lad become unruly and the dis tracted parents would welcome as big brother the young man whs has way with boys, if they knew where to tlnd hlm-
 Those who want Home Service to go on do so because they covei for their communities a means o1 providing such neighborly service as these"

 The quota for the Lee county chapter is 2,000 members, which IS a very small percentage out or our population of 24,O00 people in Lee county. I dare say there is not a man, woman or child la Lee county today that does not know the meaning of the American Ked Cross. and what it stands for. l am sure that every one of our re- turned soldiers have at some time, while in the service, come Tn con tact with the American Red Cross and knows what it means to feel the personal touch of the great est mother in the world, for It was the American Red Cross that planted the Stars and Stripes Tn Germany before Gen. Pershing and the American Army reached France.
 The greatest Mother in the world, knows no creed or race, and there is no excuse for any man, woman or child in Lee county not being a aember of the American Red Cross, and it is to be hoped that on the evening of November the l1th that we can celebrate the first anniversary of the signing of the armistice.
