Obituary

Emma Eileen Hughes. the older
child Of Mr.. and Mrs. ID. l.. Hughes,
was born October z, 1916, and died
February z. 1920, aged 3 years and
: months.
Eileen was an exceptionally bright
child for one Of her age. She gave
promise OF development far beyond
the ordinary. She was of a bright,
happy, loving disposition and was
loved by all who knew her.
1t was her habit to notice the people
passing by as she was at play in the
yard in front of her home. She would
call In a happy childish voice Hello
and the passer answering Hello"
How are you?" The child would re-
spond "Oh I'm fine." The child's voice
spoke in prophecy. 1t is the comfort
that comes to the stricken hearts of
these mourning parents. From that
fai. city of God. From the arms of
the loving Savior who said Suffer the
little ones to come unto me-" The
child can be heard calling 20 I'm fine
The following appropriate poetry
was handed in by Grandma Wade:
When we see the tender blossom
THAT we tended with such care;
Itudely torn from our bosoms,
How our hearts almost dispair.
hound the little grave we fingered,
Till the setting is low.
Feeling all our hopes have persisted,
With the flowers we cherished so.
She has fallen asleep;
She is resting at last;
Her pulse has grown still;
And her fever Is past,
She suffers no longer
in heart o in brain,
and the pain that SO racked her
VIII not come again.
She has fallen asleep
Oh mother tbs past;
Thank God as you weep
She Is resting at last.
Funeral services were conducted al
tie home Sunday afternoon at 2 p. m
Card of Thanks
We wish to thank the kind friends
who assisted us during the illness ant
death of our little daughter, also fol
the floral offerings.

RAIL EMPLOYEES
THREATEN STRIKE
100000 Employees To Walk Out
Febr nary IL

Detroit, Feb. "a strike of SOC, 900
members OF the Brotherhood of Main
.ainance of Way Employees and Rail-
way Shop Laborers was called for
Tuesday, February IL at q meeting
OF general chairmen of the brother
hood here today.
The decision to order a cessation
of work was announced by Grand
President Allen Barker, following adj
vices from Washington that negotia-
tons with the railroad administra-
ton for wage increases offered no
hope for a settlement.
81 am loath to call a strike" Mr.,
Barker said, but there is nothing we
can do. Our hands are forced. am
tired of the treatment we have re-
teived."
The general chairmen OF the broth
erhooa who have been in session sew
eral days were empowered to vote a
strike by a vote OF the union member
ship last summer. At the convention
Of the brotherhood last September
the strike was postponed in order
that President Wilson might have an
opportunity to attempt to bring about
a reduction in living costs. Accord
ing to the union officials his efforts
have been fruitless. The original de-
mands of the br~otherhoods were for
an average increase of 40 percent, the
greatest increase to so to the lower
paid men.
