After another pause: where's Jake

Nobody seemed to know.
HE was here when Mike called me

"Where'd he go?"
Then, of a sudden, Clinch recollect-

under a veranda chair. 1t was no
longer there.

harshly.

In the intense stiffness Clinch glared
into one face after another.

into control:

where State Trooper Stormont still
sat his saddle. talking to Hal Smith.
On the porch a sullen crowd Of back

awaiting events.
Clinch called across to Smith:

Eve a spell while she's nappin'. Take

Smith said to Stormont in a low
voice: do me a favor, Jack?"
You bet"

Faithful Employees
By John Bush

How infrequently in peaceful pc
riods do we see in print or hear the
words faithful employees" particu-
larly in reference to railroad shopmen.
The writer has on file hundreds of
newspaper clippings which depict us
as men of debased intellects, with
views that are not conducive to the
best interests of the community.
But we railroad shopmen have met
with rebuffs too frequently to be
chagrined. The scurrilous articles in
newspapers meant to antagonize and
humiliate US are ineffective as regards
our honest aims, and the efforts of the
kept press to belittle us with view
of pleasing their masters, only pro-
woke an Indifferent smile.
1t quite interesting to us to note
the nice remarks relative to the So
called faithful employees (scabs) and
compare the conditions under which
they work with those of men in closed
union shops, and we get considerable
amusement by standing on the street
near the depot watching these vermin-
infested birds standing in the sun
when the come up from their quarters
(cootie garages) near the shops.
And then in sudden stiffness mark
the sound
Some beast that rasps his vermin-
haunted hide.
The manner in which they shim-
mey around digging at their hides
reminds the writer of an old Shang-
hal rooster on the topmost perch of
lousy cockloft in molting season.
They twist their necks and shrug their
shoulders, all the time using their
fingers as rapidly as ever Paderewski
did while playing the fastest notes
he ever composed.
If there is anyone who believes
what appears in the public press and
thinks the railroad company has any
respect for the so-called faithful en-
ployes they should spend the week
end with the faithful in their vermin
haunted hovel.
An east-bound train pulled into
the depot recently with a weather
beaten dingy day coach loaded with
the faithful hooked to the rear end,
and when a number of them thrust
their ivory vertex through the open
window they were told by company
bull to get their heads in or he would
knock them off. This command OF
the deputy naturally caused the spec
tators to burst out laughing and make
a few remarks, fitting to the occasion
though seemingly not pleasing to the
tourists, as they drew down the blin'
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1922-08-25

and lapsed into profound silence, their
dignity and pride evidently being
wounded.
The writer has travelled many
thousand miles, and in so doing
thought he was enjoying life; but it
is now quite apparent to him, after
seeing the luxurious manner in which
faithful employe may travel, that
he is a plKer in comparison. "Get
your head in OF / will knock it off"
1t is not men armed with machine
guns that are so essential at this time;
what is the most potent is the genius
who can invent a practical bug ex-
terminator. 1t is possible, but not
probable, that we will be compelled
to return to the shops while some of
the faithful are still within the prison
walls, but those cooties must of neces-
sity bid farewell.

Elks Outing

About $50 Elks enjoyed the outing
at White City Thursday of last week
and did ample justice to the elegant
chicken dinner prepared by "Col."
Billy Hohl and his assistants. The
crowd was so large that it was neces-
sary to serve twice in the dining tent,
and the second dinner was sadly inter-
fered by sudden heavy rain and wind
storm which swept across the country
and routed the diners before the COM
pletion of the feast.
