AN ARMY COOK AGAIN COMES INTO
HIS OWN
(By BRUCE CATToN)


Any man who ever had any part in a
military organization must have read with
interest of the passing of Kokomo Jones,
who held the distinction of having been
the oldest enlisted man in the A. E. +.
Kokomo Jones died at the Iowa Soldiers
Home the other day at the age OF II, and
was buried in Corning, la. To his funeral
came brass hats and political big-wigs, to
say nothing of former buck privates OF
high and low degree. The affair drew a
good deal of attention. ..-.. .. -f.
For Kokomo Jones, who served IN the
- Spanish-American war and on the MeXl-
can border, as we'll as in France, was
cook - one of the vast, unsung tribe Oh
army cooks who get reviled and cursed by
whole generations of soldiers, but who,
when they are good, must certainly go to
one of the most comfortable corners OF
Heaven that awaits good soldiers.
Jones wheeled his rolling soup kitchen
after certain Company X of the Ram
bow Division, through Champagne, Cha
teau Thierry, st. Mihiel, and the Argonne.
He won no decorations, no citations, and
no mentions in dispatches, but he supplied
the chow when it was needed most, and he
got it there hot.
Napoleon-or General Sherman, or Han
nibal, or somebody = remarked that an
army travels on its stomach. 1t does more
than that; it fights, sleeps, and dreams oil
home on its stomach.
1t confides its morale, its valor and It's
hope of undying fame to the hands OF Its
cooks. MN
Now the cook is not a romantic figure,
and the least romantic of all cooks is the
army type. Heroic attitudes on the ram
parts are not for him; neither are the pa
rades, the medals, and the cheers of the
multitude. n
In its wisdom, Providence may, and Of
ten does, send wind and rain to put out his
fires. The quartermaster's wagons may go
, astray, the company itself may be lost
,, somewhere i'm the darkness, and the help
ers assigned to him may be nitwits incapa-
= BILE of slicing onions without cutting OIL
their thumbs. 49,.
- No matter; the cook somehow has to get
the chow together and get it up there. He
will get no praise if he succeeds, and ii
he fails he will get cursed as even Missouri
mules are seldom cursed. .. ,.r
=. But if it is any comfort to him, he can
. brood on the reflection that he is the one
:: indispensable man in the entire army.
Once in a great while the army cook

through 1896 and did not lay
down his burden of mind and soul
at the end of the old year, as he
had relieved his back of its bur-
den temporarily while pouring
out his soul in the brief confer
encc, which didn't take the half
hour he anticipated. He carried
the needless burden over into the
new year. That's a grave mistake
unless one is compelled to do it.
He was naturally reminiscent be-
cause the season was conducive
of such. He deplored the fact that
he was born in the postwar era,
a difficult period for most South
crn youths. He regretted the lack
of opportunity to attend school
more than three months in the
year. lie thinks too much time is
spent now in educating too many
people for white-collar Jobs, which
will not be in evidence at gradu-
alton time. Then there's a delu-
sion that quite often leads to
crime. We punish crime now and
apply the fines to the school funds,
quite often resulting in more
crime in the end, which isn't right
on the face of it.
He mourned the fact that so
much more Christianity is pro-

ed because politics had just about
gone to pot, the bovwows, or

Two Groups Launch Membership
Drives to Organize Mine Workers
Here for Collective Bargaining
Oliver Employees Organize
to Meet Wagner Labor
Relations Act.
INDEPENDENT GROUP
New Group Elects Officers
at Initial Meeting Held
Saturday Evening.

With all support and recognition
withdrawn from existing plans for en-
ploye representation by the Oliver Iron
Mining company, in compliance with
the ruling of the United States Supreme
Court upholding the Wagner Labor Re-
lations Act, steps were taken at a meet
ing of employees in the Washington
auditorium, Saturday evening towards
organizing Independently
According to speakers addressing the
gathering, the employe organization will
be patterned on the lines of the dis
banded employees representation COM
mlttee, except for such features as are
voided by the provisions of the ma
tional labor relations act.
| Talks were made by Stanley DOM
onoski, who served as chairman of the
meeting; Ernest Jackson, James Peyla,
William Anderson, George Coad and
David Childers. The speakers des-
cribed the organization as a purely vol
untary and spontaneous movement
among the employees.
1t will adhere strictly to the pro-
visions of the labor act and will avoid
completely any company association.
The newly organized association will be
conducted along practically the same
lines as its predecessor, except that
mining company officials, their captains,
foremen and bosses will not be recog-
nized by or have anything to say in the
conduct of its deliberations.
After listening to the speakers the
organization was perfected by the
election of Osmund Ellis as president.
To assist him in the duties of the Of
flee, two vice presidents were chosen
They are Urho Hokkanen and David
Childers.
Miss Frances Spooner was elected
secretary and Mike Evonocheck, treas
urer. 1t was also decided to have a
board of directors who will be chosen
later. Other details of the organization
| will be discussed and worked out at a
future meeting which is expected to
take place soon.
The action Withdrawing the recog-
milton by the company of the employees
representation plan made shortly after
the Wagner Act was upheld by the
Supreme Court. affected some 5000 en-
ployes in the states of Michigan and
Minnesota.
Four thousand of these employees are
on the Minnesota ranges and 1000 in
northern Michigan. Besides these there
is the Duluth branch of the American
Steel. & Wire company, numbering
about 1000 employees.
Organizations of similar nature as
the one formed here Saturday evening
have been formed at Soudan, Virginia,
Eveleth and other range communities.
Soudan organized with the election of
Russell Thomas as president and John
Kangas and Swante Branwau as sec
rotary and treasurer.
The organization at Virginia will en-
compass employees at Eveleth and will
be known as the Virginia district or
ganization.
