employees ASK HEARING
Wolff Packing Plant Workers Want
Industrial Court Provisions Enforced.

It is probable that employees of the
Wolff Packing company will appeal
to the attorney general or county at
torney for aid in enforcing a provision
of the industrial court law. They as
sert that w. E. May. president of the
local meat cutters union, was dis
charged by the company because of
the active part which he took in the
recent wage case.
The wage controversy has been ap-
pealed to the supreme court. In the
meantime May is said to have been
dismissed from service of the packing
company. A provision in the indus
trial court act provides that no en-
ploy shall be discharged because he
testifies in a case before the court.
May and his friends assert his dis
charge was due to activity in the wage
hearing

Heroism Subject at Y. M. c. A. Meeting

Heroism Subject at Y. N. C. A. Meeting
 At five o'clock Sunday afteronon very interesting "get together was held at the Norwich Y. M. c. A. After the song service, scripture reading and prayer, discussion was held on the sub ject of "Heroism." Secretary Edwin Hill opened the discussion by calling for several scripture passages which were read by men in the audience When the men were asked to mention some men whom they considered heroes, Washing ton, Lincoln, Roosevelt and others were named, the opinion was given that these were heroes because they followed the leading of duty in doing what they be- lieved God would have them do under the circumstances. Volstead, the father of the prohibition law was mentioned as a moral hero, and the question arose which LOOK the nose courage. 10 fight with guns In the army or to fight moral battles different opinions were given but the | vast majority believed that while we must not minimize the heroism of the men who fight for country in battle. the men who fight the great moral battles | within themselves and for others are really the greater heroes; that it takes more real courage to fight moral than 1 physical battles.
 l AhS fueStIoH arose. WnO IS the greatest hero the world has ever known. and the i decision was that of all heroes. the great Son Of God, Jesus c hrist. was by fal the greatest; he did what he believed was His Fathers will rjegardless of conse | quences, even to the death on the cross Following was the summing up of wha- men thought were elements in heroism: i To see the right; to do the rfrht; tr ] stand for the right even though vol stand alone, when the crowd is agains you. To be honest and fail. rather ina, be dishonest and succeed. To be will Ing to do the distasteful things if dut- calls for it. To think of others ra+be htan ones self. Emphasis was place, on the thought that the ,snly way on
 could measure up to this high ideal n
 heroisnn was to follow the leadership Q | Jesus Christ.
 After the discussion a brief social neri
 cd was enjoyed and light refreshment
 were served. Robert Otis officiated a

 BLAZE WITH HIS HANDS

A wintergeen Point summer cot tager, Harry c. Browne, who has the part of a, college professor who suc- cessfully woos the widow of a clergy man in "Only 33," had some red lines on the inside of his right hand when seen Saturday. They might be called ''The Red Badge of Courage" During the progress of the play Thursday ev- ening, one of the actors in trying to light a candle set fire to some paper flowers in a vase and there was a blaze. Mir. Browne extinguished the blaze with his hand and he did it so cleverly that many in the audience supposed this was a part of the play.
 1t was an illustration of the triumph of mind over matter for Mir. Browne The burns on his hand were very pain ful at first and when he fought against the belief that the burns were pain ful and the pain passed away, he said His finegrs were as flexible as usual Sunday and there was nothing to show on his hands except the red lines.

BAPTIST PASTOR GIVES
 CHRISTIAN VIEW OF WORK


 Rev. Dr. David A. Pitt who was back in his pulpit at the Central Baptist church Sunday after the summer vaca- ton, gave a labor Sunday message mess- age in his evening sermon when he spoke upon The Christian View of Work.
 One of the ten commandments show us, said pr. Pitt, that work comes before rest Six days shalt thou labor and then rest. The Jewish youth were taught to work. and Jesus went to the working class, the rough fisher folk to select his leaders The greatest of all the leaders of the early church was a tent maker who supported himself by his work as he preached. Paul wrote to the Thessalo- nians If any among you will not work, neither let him eat" That's the attitude of the Bible towards work Yet we J must admit that none of us are very fond of work. As a matter of fact, we can't be children of God and brothers of Jesus 1 Christ unles we are workers.
 | Society is coming more and more to recognize the value of the man and pro- tect the S)rkeIts, but why segrega te l the men who work with their hands from the men who work with tfHir heads. the men ho work in the sweat of their hands l fro mthe men who work with the seal ] of their brains? It would be great dea i petter TOT the So-called laboring cla ss and those who work with their brains fl each coAld do some of the work of tn, other. Let us Christians take the Bibilc al attitude and honor every man ana every woman who works. The Christian is more affected by the eye of his Lort ! than by the eye of his boss The troubI, with labor and capital is that neither on, wants to do more than he has to. w. need revival in this country of the be lief in an honest days work for an homes days pay. Let us take our cue iron our Lord who said, My father worketl hitherto and I work"
