ganized labor In the District of Co.

European battleflelds, during the late
World War.
with my contribution" says the
card, goes my Endorsement of this very
deserving cause. Washington owes it 10
its war dead, and I have contributed
my share, thereby repaying q moral
obligation which I felt I owed our
heroes"
Results already obtained from other
efforts OF unions in the Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing, Mr. Dickson said,
were surprising expectations.
While an individual canvass of many
Of the unions has been started, the
organizations themselves have begun to
appropriate out of their union treasures
toward the war memorial fund. The
largest Of these funds to date has been
subscribed by the Painters Local
Union. No. 368, which gave $500.
Another group to meet soon will be
the Chauffeurs' Union, which will be
addressed tomorrow night by Mr. Dick
son, in the interest Of the war memorial
campaign.
