PERSHING'S EXAMPLE TO
BUSINESS MEN

Doubtless when man is in a coma,
he makes no conscious resistance to
death; but even then the spirit that
has possessed him in his conscious
moments is not altogether vanished.
1t affects him unconsciously. And if
he has fought bravely for life all
along, if his resolution has never
tagged despite pain and weakness,
then there is pretty good reason for
believing that he is fighting on, even
in his coma; he is fighting against
death, he is fighting to live, he is fight
ing for more days and years in which
to watch the world and see what il
has to offer and in what ways he may
still take an active part.
And thus General Pershing fought
on, while the funeral train waited
and undertakers made ready, anc
radio voices rolled on in long nara
tions Of the sick mans life, and news
paper obituaries and mourful editor
ials were set up in type. And sudden
" there was Pershing, asking for q
barber and eating lamb stew There
was Pershing, there was courage. Is
there a lesson in that today for busi-
ness men?

Two mediation agreements; one for

pay for maintenance of way workers.
The biggest dispute listed in this
group involved only 200 men; though
every one of them was possible start
for much more extensive clash. The
Mediation Board was called to settle
them, and it settled them. 1t or its

so successfully that for nearly IL
years there hasn't been even a third

New Sports Club Income

A new source of income for local
hunting and fishing clubs has been
developed by the Ohio conservation
division to important proportions, in
connection with fees allowed for the
issuance of hunting and fishing
licenses.
About 120 sports groups, Izaak
Walton Chapters and various county
conservation leagues are now selling
licenses. They receive fee Of 25
cents for hunting licenses, and 1C
cents each for fishing permits. These
funds they devote to restocking ano
propagation of wildlife in their owr
counties. Some organizations net ur
to $1,000 annually from this source
the division reports. In other cases
private bonded agents contribute part
or all, of their receipts from license
fees to sports groups.

UNION HELP FOR JoBLEss

III this critical period of 'reces-
sion,' trade unions are giving emer-
gency help to thousands Of unemploy-
ed workers.
Millions of dollars are being spent
by unions to maintain their idle mem
bers, by payment Of unemployment
benefits.
Organized labor, as many times be-
fore, is writing a chapter that fits in
with the fine story Of human helpful
ness that has threaded its way
through all the vicissitudes Of human
ity
Wage earners are taxing themselves
by the million to support their needy
brothers. Here is heroism, the milk
Of human kindness flowing in a great
river Of generosity
Again America owes a debt to it's
labor movement a debt about which
it generally knows little, but which
historians later viii record with pride
The wage Garner who does not belong
to a union misses the opportunity to
share in this epic story

A SCHOOL IN LABOR RELATIONS

The National Mediation Board is
running a splendid correspondence
school on labor relations-but the
course isn't being taken by all those
who need it.
The Mediation Board is the chief
agency for settling labor disputes and
difficulties on railroads. 1t sends out
to newspapers and news agencies
which know enough to ask for them a
regular account of its doings. The
grist which came to the desk one
morning, for example, tells of;
An election to determine the prop
er bargaining agency for electricians
on two western railroads;
Two similar elections on the Maine
Central, one for power house employees
and railroad shop workers, one for
maintenance Of way men;
Two elections for yardmasters, one
