After selecting Cumberland, Md,
as the place and the FIRST Monday in

meeting, the convention adjourned.

took charge, and what they did was
plenty. First was special meeting
and smoker by the local lodge, at
which a number of fine addresses
were made, including cracker jack
by George H. Hamilton.
On Sunday morning the delegates
were given an auto ride about the
city and to Granville, and after a
sumptuous dinner at Ed Schnaidt's
restaurant trip to Buckeye Lake
was made, a boat was chartered and
tour of the lake made. This was
followed by dinner at the Maugef
hotel at which Bro. j. j. East, presi-
dent of Local No. 80, presided as
POSTMASTER, and Judging from the
remarks of the delegates they were
more than pleased with the enter
tainment furnished by their Newark
brethren, and as one speaker eX-
pressed it "things happened so fast
that / can't remember them ALL but
| will say that Newark can't be beat
as an entertainment city and for en-
joying a royal good time; and | also
think that the brothers in charge OF
the arrangements deserve a higher
compliment than | can express"
At the conclusion of the dinner the
various park amusements were en-
joped until a late hour, when the
party returned to Newark, thus end
ing one of the most successful ant
enjoyable conventions ever held.

OUR INVITATION STILL HOLDS

The Butler County Press replies as
some weeks ago, on several public
utilities in the city of Hamilton,
which the Press roasted, as compared
with the splendid services rendered
by similar corporations in Newark:
"The editor of the Newark Leader
last week commented on the editorial
Of this paper Of two weeks ago in
which we bemoaned the rotten service
OF the local street cars and telephone.
He sympathizes with Hamilton citi-
Zens and goes on to tell US Of the
splendid service of these utilities in
Newark, lauds Newark to the skies
as place to live in and invites all
disgruntled Hamiltonians to embark
for Newark And then says: Again,
after cOndoling with our Hamilton
brothers, we extend an invitation to
locate in a city where the sun shines
always and everybody lives on Easy
street.
Newark, no doubt, is a fine town,
and we know has a splendid labor
paper.
"On behalf of all Hamiltonians,
we thank you for your kind invitation,
but just this-Hamilton with all its
failings, its inconvenience, deficien-
cies-Hamilton with all these, is still
the grandest old town and the garden
spot of the world. And until you
have experienced the privilege of liv-
ing here few years the world owes
you much Come, and welcome"

HOW A LABOR PARTY CAN LIVE

A labor party has no chance OF sur
viving in national politics, unless 1t
adjusts it's program to the interests
of other groups, such as the salarled
worker, the farmer and some divisions
of the lower middle class. This ad-
iustment is still for from accomplish
ment. Yet difficult and doubtful as IS
the success of the attempt, it is not
impossible. The other groups are sui
fering just as much as the wage earn
er from the absorption of their IN
creases in income by higher prices
and by the increasing power over
prices Which the economic dlslocatlon
has placed in the hands of enter
prising and opulent capitalists and
the proprietors of Indispensable nat
ural resources.-The New Republic.

BOILERMAKERS CONVENTION

The fourth annual convention Of
|. B. B. |. S. B. & II. of A. was called
to order Friday June A, at Moose
hall by Pres. J. B. Ungruhn with all
the officers present and 27 delegates
in attendance. There were also 9
visiting delegates from different
locals in the district present.
The report of the officers showed
that a great amount of business had
been transacted during the past year
and that the finances were in excel
lent condition.
After an interesting address by
Bro. Maher, international vice presi-
dent, and the appointment of the
various committees the convention
adjourned until the following day.
Upon reassembling Saturday morn
ing the reports Of the committees were
acted alpon and some changes in the
bylaws were made. In the after
noon the following officers were
elected. j. B. Ungruhn, Cincinnati,
president; Edward Garrity, Chicago,

A CONsCRIPTION PROPOSITION

The power of the President has in
creased. is increasing and ought to be
diminished. One would think that,
after the lamentable and disastrous
career of our present Chief Executive,
a proposition Of this sort would need
no demonstration. One would think
it would be scared into the minds and
consciences of all thoughtful citizens.
Yet here comes the opposition in the
Senate, led by Senator Lodge, pro-
posing to increase the power of the
President and diminish that of Con-
gress in a matter of vital Importance.
1t is proposed by these Republican
Senators to allow the President to put
conscription in force for all males
between the ages of 18 and 45 years
of age whenever the President chooses
to think, or pretend to think, ma
tional emergency exists. This ma
tional emergency need not consist of
either a foreign war or a domestic
insurrection. 1t will whatever the
President chooses to make it be.
Are we to allow all our liberties
to fall under control of one man =?
1t makes no difference that he is
elected. Election does not lessen his
autOcracy.

But this is the biggest year we ever

while to find job before they got
married. That's the only explanation
can find for it.
Brooklyn Bureau Is Beaten
"It's too early yet to say how the
total for the year will work out, but
we have beaten every June for the
last five years. In 1914 we supplied
3,8O8 couples with marriage licenses
In 1917 the number was 4,O24--tha'
was the period of the Stacker weddings
as we'll as of lot of good honest
Americans who wanted to get married
before they went to war.
"In 1918 there was slump. OF

brides. Last year there were 1894
and this ear 4,453. The biggest eal
as whole was 1917. We had 41,96s

teter Rabbit sat among the rushes.
on the shore of the Laughing Brook
where it enters the Smiling Pool and
watched Jerry Muskrat work. Jerry
was building little landing of rushes
and mud He had it almost finished.
1t was little landing, just big enough
for Jerry to sit on comfortably, and it
for Jerry to be able to dive from it
into water deep enough to cover him
completely and enable him to reach
still deeper water without showing him
self
Now. you know Peter Rabbit doesn't
like work The only work he does is
cutting little paths through the dear
Old Briar- patch, and he wouldn't cut
these if he didn't have to in order to
get about. No, Peter doesn't like work.
He is too happy go-lucky. He would
rather be uncomfortable than do a
little work to make himself comfort
able, and there are many people like
him. Queer how people can be like
that, isn't it?
But Jerry Muskrat is just the op-
posite. Jerry likes to work because he
likes to enjoy the things which result
from work. Not that Jerry wants to
work all the time. Oh my, no! No
indeed! Jerry is as fond of playing
and of visiting his friends as any one
know. But Jerry is too wise to waste
time wishing for thing he can get by
working for it. He isn't lazy There
isn't lazy bone in him
SO all the time he was gossiping there
by his little landing he was working,
while Peter Rabbit sat in idleness
Jerry would disappear under water
Presently he would pop up with a bit
OF 500 or mud 70 add to that little
landing, and while he put it where it
was most needed he gossipcd with
Peter.
Now Jerry was doing two things at
once working and talking. Some
folks can talk while they work and not
lez one thing interfere with the other
You sec all the little people Of the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows
the Smiling Pool and the Old Pasture
are taught to do two things at once
from the time they are big enough to
learn at all. They are taught that
Whatever else they may be doing, work
ing or playing, they must at all times
keep watch for danger
But to do three things ut the same
time rs more than most folks can ac.
complish. II was 80 with Jerry. He
could work and keep watch. He coulc
work and gossip. But he couldn't worl
and gossip and keep watch all at tn.

In the first place it didn't seem ncccs
