Ticket Demand Predicting
5000 Will Crowd Event

With the ranks of the "boys
in blue" fast thinning, Col. E. M.
Watson and his aides on the
Roosevelt Inaugural parade COM
mittee today were forced to make
a public appeal in their quest
for at least one Civil War vet
eran able and willing to parti-
cipate in the parade.
Col. Watson said the appeal
was made necessary through
numerous setbacks the committee
has suffered.
DR.. George C. Havenner, who
has been directing composition
of the parade, said two auxil-
iaries of the Grand Army of the
Republic have been assigned
a place in the line of march
but efforts to locate Union
veteran of the Civil War to ride
with the marchers have been
fruitless.
All Taken Sick
Several of the aged warriors
were located and agreed to par
ticipate, but in every instance,
illness forced cancellation.
The committee announced it
has had no trouble with the
"boys in gray" Several auto
mobiles filled with Confederate
veterans will ride. in the prade.
Mrs. John Allan Dougherty,
chairman of the Inaugural Ball
Committee, having spent the last
few days in conferences with arch
itects and artists, announced that
the plans for the setting of the
ball in Washington Auditorium
have been completed.
Demand for tickets to the ball,
both locally and from out-of-town,
led to the prediction that 5000
persons would be in attendance at
the affair-1,000 more than previ-
GUS estimates. Mrs. Dougherty said
from present indication the ball

greatest ever held in the nation"

think that William Green, president
of the American Federation of La

he speaks, by the choice of phrase,
than by the serious statement in
which the phrase occurred. When

Labor we now are hearing about the Mobility of Labor
It is not revolutionary except in thoughtout that IS

Always Moving
The American people were mobile even century ago.
French and English toursts-they from Europe in
those days to look 1T strange country-used to
be impressed by the spectacle of whole houses beng
moved up Broadway they saw the pioneers pushing
westward clearing place for cabin then selling their
land and houses and proceeding still farther west into
the forests. They couldn't understand us, Tor their
habit was to stay always in one place.
When America grew up it had no place to go and be-
came little settled. From the civil war, roughly
to 1915 not jumpy; the impulse to be some
where else had died out Then the motor car and pros
perity gave second chance, and tourists began to
move over the face of the country looking for jobs
new scenery, weather. It was an astounding thing
to happen in America, for people gave up their Joos'
closed down their grocery storeSand took to the road
They doing the thing now for other reasons;
their jobs and stores shot from under them and they
begin to wander Among the problems of the day
this is not the striking, but it important because
it indicates changed state OF mind The most recent
instance is the of the boys and young men, arriving
at the age when they would naturally go to work, tnd-
ing no jobs and setting forth Another still fresh
in memory, is the Bonus Expeditionary Force
What Is Mob?
The bonus army was often called "a mob" by those
who liked neither it's objects its methods BY the use
of that word the critics pointed to the one serious aspect
of the march, for 'nob" comes from the Latin word
"nnobe" and the important thing is not that MOB
consists of who may be Violent but OF men on the
move; men who may be moved by any appeal to their
passions 1t was the fact that 10000 were wander
ing along the hghroads of the country which ought to
have made leaders in Washington thoughttuI-tar
more than the fact that they wanted bonus pald
do not know exactly what Mr.. Green meant by say
ing that labor would be on the march Pernaps ne
meant that the American Federation of Labor would pro-
pose plan send petitioners to Washington perhaps ne
meant that labor would take other form OF action
The federation is the conservative side OF labor;
it has worked with the Government; it seldom issues
threats. So it is in the hidden meanings OF on the
march that the significance OF the statement must oe
found It implies CHANGE it suggests that labor IS being
cut off from it's moorngs and not hing to drift is
calling for a pilot who knows his directions.
