 The Erie controversy had it's origin early last year when the employees made demand for in- crease of wages. A conference was denied and the ,,atter was brought up to the labor board which granted certain increases

HOPE
By Alfred Arnold

By Alfred Arnold Hope is star. Seen from afar Though it must ever be, l. Yet all its light
 Shines clear and bright To hearten you and me. In happier hours. On all our powers It's mellow glow is thrown; On each fair plan Of woman, man; But not on these alone: Joy comes and goes, Frost stays the rose, Time laughs at summers wane. The song is hushed The dream is crushed, But hope shines forth again. Ger seas of tears, Ger gulfs of fears, Der failures steepest hill, Its faithful gleam Burns on supreme, The bright torch of the will.

Time to Think

How prison bars clarify the vision! How many tragedies would be averted if only men and women were given from the outside as they see from the inside
 A moment of anger; fit df jealousy; passion for revenge; the flash of pistol, then prison bars And, with the prison bars time think Time to recall the days innocence before the glare of the bright lights dazzed the vision and the hectic night life scared the moral
 Time to think of the simple life lived back in the home where the homely virtues satisfied and tentment reigned.
 Yes. time think these a thousand other things that pass behind prison bars; things that have been driven of mind in the convvial grill room when serious thought dared to intrude
 Time to weigh values and with the horror of despair how the fIeeting joys whose pursuit has them brought into feons cell. shrink and fade out of sight when compared with solid virtues they have ignored their chase for exciting pleasures.
 The solitude of cell brings and face to face with the tragedy of wasted opportunity and canses the things they left behind to assume astounding proportions.
 Liberty sweet; virtue was never so beautiful; self-control so admirable; honor was never so glorious when viewed from behind the bars of prison cell
