In Loving Memory of our Dearest
Mother, Nellie Nora Mooney
Who departed from this life
April %, 1919
Sleep on, dear one, and take your rest
We miss you most who loved you
best.
God took you home; il was His will;
But in our hearts you're living still,
Unknown and forgotten by some you
may be,
Yet still our grief is sore.
But each passing day the nearer
brings
The time well meet you once more
Dark and lonely Is our dwelling,
Lonely is our home today,
For the one we loved SO dearly
Passed away one year today.

president of the Order of Railway
Conductors and S. NJ. Reberling, presi
dent of the Switchmen's union OF

higher wages.

pay increases of approximately So
per cent. with time and half for

liar overtime allowances are asked
by the conductors, together with
wages sufficient to enable them TO

must come from the railroads. The
brotherhood chiefs remain silent after
having failed in their attempt Wednes
