ANSWER GIVEN
CHEST CRITICS

Replying to a series of anony.
nous letters received at Commun-
ity Chest headquarters complain
ing they had never heard of fami-
lies aided by the organization,
Herbert j. Willet, jr., Chest
director, yesterday announced
names of families aided are never
made public.
Pointing out that 1862 families
have been served by Community
Chest agencies during the past
year, and that many other families
had to be turned away because
the Chest did not raise its full
budget last year, Mr.. Willet said:
Every day in every Chest
agency there are many cases Of
families, orphans, sick and dis
tressed people. which would
form the basis for highly inter-
esting stories and would tell
people where their money goes.
But Chest agencies, not wishing
to violate the confidence which
troubled people have placed in
them, never make names and

CLOSE OF LABOR
ROW, PRAYER OF
CON GRESSMEN
Hope for Peace PrioI
To 1888 Elections
BY FRANKLIN G. sARTWELL

L
Concressmen. bedeviled by the
conflict in the ranks of labor, TO
dav were looking prayertulIy
toward the peace conference Oh
the American Federation Of Labor
and the Committee for Industrial
Organization. =,
If that conference is successful
a sedative will be administered to
one of the worst Of congressional
aches and one which is becoming
steadily more uncomfortable as
the 1898 elections approach.
SEEK RIGHT SIDE
For purely practical political
reasons most congressman nave
been trying all their lives to stay
on the right side of labor. AND
labor has meant the A. F. OF L.,
with it's elaborate system of checks
on the votes and words OF mem
bers of the House and Senate.
But when the American Fedora
ton split up and the C. l. o. de-
veloped. much of the former work
of Congressmen on behalf OF labor
went out the window so far as
achieving results at the polls Is
concerned.
An enterprising Congressman
willing to offer himself at the polls
for a continuance of his career as
a statesman, was apt to find that
while he had been going along
with the A. F. of L. his constltu'
ents had been going C. I. o. or
it might have been vice versa
WANT 1T SETTLED
AS 1898 approaches the Con
gressmen, particularly those VINO
really have tried to get along with
organized labor, want the dispute
within the ranks settled. If it isn't
they won't know what to claim on
the hustings next year.
That is why the congressman
coming YEARLY back to Capitol
Hill for the extra session next
month are waiting hopefully for
signs that the conference may be
successful.
They haven't seen many of these
signs yet, but they are encouraged
by the mere fact that the name
calling stage in the intra-labor
fight seems to have passed and the
opposing factions apparently are
ready to sit at a conference table
MEANS VICTORY
Union within the ranks Of labor
before next years elections woulc
give to many congressional as
pirants a much better chance o
election than they have ever had
These aspirantS point out that al
though the main body of labor wa!
split there has been a tremendous
increase in the total number o!
votes now found in both the fac
tons.
There has been large member
ship built up for the c. I. O., and
Spurred on by that organization
the American Federation of Labor
also has sent out organizers who
have added to its ranks. Put them
all together and they spell victory
for prolabor congressional candi
dates next year.

New Denver Cachet
Is To Be Authorized

According to an announcement
by the Postoffice Department,
Denver, Col, will be authorized as
a stop on route AMI in the near
future. A special cachet will be
furnished to the postmaster, and
the usual treatment of philatelic
mail will be authorized.
Airmail covers to receive this
special cachet should be forwarded
to the postmaster at Denver under
separate cover. In order that he
may be able to make the proper
discrimination between business
and philatelic mail and hold the
latter for the actual first flight,
a letter of authorization to hold
for first flight should accompany
the covers. .-

The amount of mail carried by

flight of the 1887 season. For.
tunately, the mail carried to the
United States was dropped at

itself, which will be posted the
anniversary date Of the event.

From all over this territory as
well as the far reaches Of deep
southern, midwestern and eastern
States covers are arriving. This
avalanche Of letters bids certain
to prove the interest of the cachet
itself.
But as far as cachet designs
are concerned, collectors are ap.
parently leaving the job Of sub
uniting designs to their fellow col
lectors.
There is a possibility, however,
that collectors are awaiting until
the last minute to submit their
entries and are at the moment
busily engaged in studying the
early history of U. S. postage
stamps in order to incorporate
designs Of an original nature.
It is suggested that contestants
submit their entries as soon as
possible in order to provide suit
able accommodations to take care
Of the display Of these cachet
designs.
Ideas for cachet designs are linn
itlesS and all who care to enter
this novel stamp collecting contest
can rest assured that they have an
equal chance Of winning one OF
the five attractive prizes.
