Omaha-President Harding was
called on to settle his first big indus
trial problem since his inauguration
when representatives of packing house
employees asked him to prevent pro-
posed wage reductions and ~re-adjust-
ments OF working hours.
Delegates to a conference called by
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen of North America
voted unanimously to appeal to the
President In an attempt to forestall
abrogation of the wartime agreement
between the packers and their en-
ployes. The delegates represented
workers In every large packing CEN
ter OF the country, and their action, ac-
cording to union officials, affects 200,-
600 employees.
Strike Warning Given.
The telegram to the President asked
him TO request the packers to hold
in allegiance the wage and hour
changes" announced as effective Mon
day, Mar. IA, until the Secretary OF
Labor can investigate charges con-
tanned in the message.
A strike warning appeared in the
same resolution which instructed the
union officials ito take such action as
will result In a unanimous and effec-
tive resistance to a return to the ten
hour work day, wage reductions and
other barbaric conditions that existed
prior to 1917" unless President Hard
ing sends assurance OF action accord
ing with the conference request. This
resolution, according to Dennis Lane,
secretary-treasurer of the union, means
authorization for a strike affecting all
packing house employees of the United
States and Canada.
Gompers Asked TO Act.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
american Federation Of Labor. was
asked in another telegram to go to the
White House as the direct represen-
ltatiye of the meat cutters union and
urge immediate action on the packing
house workers request. He also was
asked to call a meeting In Chicago OF
lbuc 'dAlicu uulouS WOfhiiS LUZ lhc
packers to outline concerted action in
event Of a strike.
The decision to appeal to the Chief
Executive was made in a lengthy ses.
sion of the executive board. The re.
concentrations were Immediately
placed before the delegates In general
conferences. A heated discussion fol.
lowed in which the proposed action OF
the packers in reducing wages by ap'
p~roximately IL per cent and extending
the possible working day to ten hours,
was unanimously denounced.
The delegates present were unari
mously in favor OF striking If the
changes announced by the packers
were put into effect. according to Mr.
Lane. A referendum vote will be
necessary. however. before the strike
order can be issued. Mr.. Lane said. :

Death of Miss Mamie Hamilton.

The community has lost one of its
most valued and beloved members in
the death of Miss Nancy Martin
Hamilton, which took place at two
o'clock Friday afternoon, August II,
1921, at the Baptist Memorial Hos
pital, Memphis, Tenn.
Miss Mamie, as she was Familiarity
known, spent her entire life in Union
City, except for her years in college.
She became a member of the Pres
byterian Church al an early age and
was active in church work until her
death. Her primary class at Sunday
school will live in the remembrance
of many boys and girls.
The Union City Public School will
feel keenly the loss of Miss Mamie.
She taught the third grade for four
teen consecutive years. Her boys and
girls all deeply mourn her loss. She
was ever faithful, painstaking in her
work, and her influence will be felt
thruout the lives of the little folks
she taught.
Miss Mamie leaves her mother and
one brother, Mr.. Joe Hamilton, and
one sister, Miss Cassie.
She was the daughter of VIM. Ham
ilton, whose death occurred in 1911.
Services were conducted at the
Of Mrs. M. E. Hamilton,
mother of the deceased, Sunday

Reelfoot Lake Road.

The committee of the south ridge
route %propounds the query to the
Clayton route committee: In the
face of the fact that the district en-
gineer, Mr.. McCombs, furnished by
the State department to select route,
made his report and the report was
published in this paper July 10, why
did the surveyor not follow his in
structions? How will the benefit of
State aid be secured for the Clayton
route? A few points in comparison
we submit as follows: The middle
route passes five more homes, more
valley land within a radius of three
fourths of a mile, one-fourth the wa
ter obstruction and one-eighth the
levees. Is a levee road as good as a
ridge road? The Clayton route will
take the travel to Hickman, river
crossing. The middle route will give
Union City and Samburg a practical
route. (Signed by Mcbride, Todd,

Child of my love, lean hard,

Thou art not near enough;
Yet closer come

So I might feel my child
Reclining ON my breast.

In Memory.

Last Wednesday afternoon, Au-
gust 10, 1921, at half past three
o'clock, the peaceful Death Angel
stole into the home of Mrs. L. e. Ed
wards, Gunnison, Miss, and bore
away on it's pinions the tired and
willing spirit of his faithful and de-
voted wife, May Morton Edwards.
In early years she gave her life to
her Saviour, and left a clear testimo-
ny that it was we'll with her soul.
She said repeatedly to those around
her: Everything is all right. Every
thing"
On July 4, 1897, she was united
in marriage to Mr.. L. E. Edwards, of
Rosedale, Miss, Later they moved to
Gunnison, Miss, where Mrs. Edwards
became an active and earnest worker
in the Sunday school and Missionary
society of the M. E.Church of that
place, serving faithfully until her
summons to her home beyond the
vale Of tears "to an inheritance in
corruptible that fadeth not away
eternal in the heavens" The floral
tributes of these dear people testified
to their unlimited appreciation of
her and her work among them.
For several years she has been an
active and esteemed member of the
United Daughters of the Confedera-
cy, besides filling ably the office of
| Worthy Matron of the Eastern Star,
Of Gunnison, Miss. During the World
| War she was chairman of the Red
| Cross work of Bolivar County, Miss,
| going from place to place in her car,
! delivering Red Cross addresses, on
the conservation of food, and teach
ing classes in cooking and knitting.
| She was always the first to enter
homes of sorrow and distress, adj
ministering comfort, and material
aid, if necessary. Many people of the
South will rise up and call her bless
ed.
For more than a year she had been
in a state of decline, but never COM
