CARD OF THANKS.

The election last Friday decided
that | should be the next mayor OF
Oxford. Time will prove or disprove
the wisdom of this decision. But re-
CARELESS of the wisdom thereof, there
remains the fact that ] owe debt OF
gratitude to those men and women
who saw fit to honor me with re-
sponsiblity which means much to my
present and will, | hope, mean more
to my future. 1t is impossible at this
time to express my thanks other than
in words but it is my sincerest purpose
that eventually | shall render such
service that my obligation to you may
find expression in deeds which will be
more substantial and meaningful
Against those who supported either
of my opponents | have no complaints
to offer. If all office seekers were of
as conscientious type as the two gen.
tlemen who opposed me there would
be no need for reform in politics. AS
l have maintaiped since my first an
nouncement, the present mayor has
been one of the best we have ever
had. His interest in the welfare of
the community has never been doubt
ed. Any suggestions or counsel which
he cares to offer will at all times be
welcomed and invited.
May any ill-will which may have
arisen over the contest be speedily
forgotten in cooperation for the high
est good to the greatest numbers re-

POSTPONE MASS
MEET OF LABOR
Attempts to Secure Five Speakers
for Saturday FAN; VIII Be
Held Later.

Failure to secure a prominent
labor unionist to address the in
junction protest mass meeting
planned tomorrow night in Market
Square or some other downtown
location resulted in postponement
of the meeting today.
Efforts of Ben Jacobson,
president of the Tri4City
Federation of Labor, in at
tempting to get a speaker for the
occasion, were unsuccessful All
of the five men with whom CORE
spondence was carried on had
previous engagements for this week
end One of them will be asked to
speak at another early date
that will be announced for the mass
meeting.
Saturday nights meeting included
John Fitzpatrick. president Chicago
Federation; Andrew Furuseth,
president seamen's union; John C..
Frey, president molders' union and
editor molders' official publication;
John Walker, president Illinois
Federation, and B. A. .Olander, sec

Injunctions based on complaint
Of labor union tactics at printing
plants and garment factories were
issued in recent months by Judge
W. T. Church, circuit court. These
will be the target of the speakers
verbal attacks at this mass meet
ing. Organized labor says that it
is seriously wronged by. this form
Of legal restraint, and intends to
assail what leaders claim to be the
weak or vicious points in the in
junction law.
