MAIL EARLY

Last year, through the generous
cooperation of the press, the movies
and other advertising metiums,
Christmas mailers were induced to
dispatch their Yuletide presents ear
lier in the month than ever before
in the history of the institution of gift
exchanging in the holidya season.
AS result, the spectacle of the
last minute rush of former years,
with its attendant heart-breaking la
Dor on the part of wearied and nerve
worn store clerks and postal en-
ployes, was avoided.
This year Postmaster General New
and First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral John Fl. Bartlett have determined
to make an even better record and
to Danish for all time the suffering
undergone in past years by those en-
gagged in the sale or transportation of
gifts 1hey hope ITO make "Shop
Early" and Mail Early a habit with
the American people.
Mailing early does not mean De-
cember / or before, but if everyone
could get their holiday tokens in the
mail between December 10 and De-
cember 20, the post office could not
ask more.
Particular attention this year will
be paid to greeting cards. Despite
the success last year it was noted that
the last-minute mail consisted largely
of cards. Possibly many of them
were returned greetings to friends
heard from on previous mail, but
overlooked on the original Christmas
list. Unlike parcels and letters con-
tanning money orders, cars, of course
can not we'll be marked DO not open
until Cchristmas." Therefore, it is
possible that the many mailers hole
them until the last to insure delivery
on Christmas eve This class of mail
ers this year, however, may find theil
cards undelivered until after Christ
mas Day.
Believing that the energies of pos
tai employees should not be sapped t.
the last degree for any avoidable rea
son, and, intent upon securing TO
them the same Christmas privilege
enjoyed by others, Postmaster Genera
New asks the hearty cooperation o
the public. The last-minute, or zer
hour has been moved up so that al
postal employees may eat their Christ
mas dinners at home. Rural carrier
will deliver no mail at all on Christ
mas day, and clerks and carriers i
the city offices will stop wor
promptly at noon.

UNFAIR MAGAZINES
Face Big Fight With Print.
ers' International Union

indianapolis, Ind = The Interna-
tional Typographical Union, under
the leadership of President James M.
Lynch and other members of the
newly installed executive council of
the union, is laying its lines for a
vigorous and sustained drive against
the most powerful enemies of the
labor movement-the non-union and
anti-union magazines.
The notoriously unfair Crowell pub
locations, printed in a non-union plant
at Springfield, o., will feel the weight
of well organized unionist opposition
at once, according to plans of Typo
graphical Union officials and NJ Cos
nell, of Syracuse, N Y, who has
been placed in active charge of the
non-union publications campaign.
Chief Of the Crowell publications
are the American Magazine and Col
lier's Weekly. 1t is believed that mill
lions of fair-minded Americans will
withhold patronage of these maga-
zines when their policies with regard
to labor are laid before the country
The Saturday Evening Posts unfair
attiture toward it's printers will also
be touched upon in the camgaipn.
Incidentally, it is pointed out by
Mr. Gosnell, that She new weekly
magazine, Liberty, is making a strong
bid for the popularity hitherto enjoy
ed by Golfers and the Saturday Eve
ming Post. Liberty sells for five
cents and is high grade magazine,
modern in every sense, cleverly writ
ten and well edited. 1t is issued
under ideal working conditions and
every department of the plant is oper-
ated by union workmen. Published
by the owners of the Chicago Tribune
and the Daily News of New York,
Liberty comes before the public under
auspices which amount to guarantee
that the best available in the field of
letters will be offered it's
readers.
TIL square-dealing methods of the
Chicago Tribune publishers are we'll
known in the trade union world.
The Crowell publications have be-
gun to feel effects of its non-union
policy, and are running campaigns to
'egain lost ground in circulations. In
addition to Golfers and the American
the Crowell journals in
.lude the Woman's Home Companion

ILLINOIS UNIONS
Take Vote on State Fedora
ton Heads

BY International Labor News Service.
Chicago.-Local unions affiliated
with the Illinois State Federation of
Labor are taking referendum vote
on the election of officers of the state
body. Time for voting extends from
December | to 81. inclusive.
President John H. Walker, and Sec
retary-Treasurer Victor A. Olander
are candidates for reelection without
opposition. The former is member
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea and the latter member of the
international Seamen's Union of
America, of which he is international
second vice president. There are
seventeen candidates for the nine
places on the executive board.
President Walker and Secretary
Treasurer Olander have held their
present offices for many years be-
cause the trade unionists of Illinois
have complete confidence in their hon
esty and integrity. Both are aggres-
sive leaders of outstanding ability and
whose only interest is the labor move
ment. Each has had many opportun-
tiles for political preferment, but de-
clined with thanks, saying that they
are perfectly satisfied to serve trade
unionism only.
SecretaryTreasurer Olander is a
man of marked intellectual capacity
and by reason of that fact is held in
high esteem and respect by men and
women in all walks of life. He is
versed in wide range of subjects, is
close student of public questions and
possessed of fine analytical mind.
Mr.. Olander's advice and counsel is
constantly sought by trade union off
GERS in reference to problems affect
| ing their organizations, and it is not
uncommon for leaders of outside civic
organizations and public authorities
to consult with Mr.. Olander on sub
! jects which have no direct relation to
the labor movement He holds that
it is the duty of trade unionists as
good citizens to take an active part
in the settlement of public questions
whenever they can do SO without
| ljeopardizing the interests of the labor
movement.

ILLINOIS STADIUM
TO BE COMPLETED

Alumni Of the University Of Illinois
throughout the country will be graft
fed to learn that subscription pledges
to the war memorial stadium at
Urbana have been redeemed to an
extent such as to warrant the COM
pletion of the structure.
It is now assured that the great
structure will be completed and dedi-
Gated on October 18, with Michigan as
the visiting eleven. At the present
time the stadium is more than two
thirds completed, and alumni and
student subscribers have paid in the
sum of $1,099,737.62.
In other words, nearly 80 per cent
of the amount due from subscrip-
tions at this time has been paid.
There is bound to be a certain shrink
age In any enterprise of this sort in
the matter of original subscriptions.
Death, business failure and other
causes have always to be considered
They have been factors in the Illinois
stadium drive.
But the encouraging thing about
the situation, the fine thing, was the
manner in which alumni came
through when they heard that the
element of delinquency might be suf-
f1ciently formidable to prevent the
completion of the arena. It was this
very fact which inspired the stadium
committee to go ahead and carry out
arrangements for the completion Of
this splendid memorial to the sons Of
Illinois who gave their lives in the
world war.

soon as the crowds of loving
Scots heard that there was a

have been following his every step in

PARIS. May 26.-Sunday's soccer
games were all that was necessary
to prove that the eighth Olympiad

but all the westSfn world now is
beginning to enthuse over the meet.
Among the $4,000 spectators who

there was a large proportion of visit

Esthonia, Argentine, Turkey and
Spain.
All three of the separate stadiums
in which the encounters took place
were able to boast of good attend
ance. despite threatening weather.
Every newspaper in Paris-there
are some forty of them-commented
on the matches this morning.
Great surprise was expressed at
the way the United States triumphed

training and speed on the part of
the former, it was said
These Americans are astonishing

Other comments run along similar
