THE -
CHERRY TREE
Where with sur Little Ratchet we tell
the truth absut many things. sometimes
profoundly. sometimes Aippantly. some
times recklessly. -.

Washington is full of strutting pop
ulation these days. 1t is the capital of
the world, with sweat and hard work
for thousands. The strutters are here
IN force-but also there are those who
do not strut, but who work hard and
quietly.
One such came from the ranks of
labor-and in everything but title,
that's where he remains and always
will remain.
In such things as telephone and city
directories, the name would be:
McGrady, Edward F., labor rela-
tions adviser, War Department.
To his friends he's Ed, or he's Mac
and how he goes down the line for
a union that needs help!
And how he tears into those who
unjustly attack unions.
Some labor men forget where they
started Ed McGrady doesn't.
It's pretty big job to be labor re-
lations adviser to the War Depart
ment.
Until the current emergency the
War Department didn't know it
needed any such person.
And so it's pretty good sign that
it was decided there should be such a
person.
It's pretty big thing that Ed Nc
Grady was selected for the job.
It's no payroll job-it's just pa
triotic job.
But McGrady loves it and the War
Department has a very healthy re-
spect for his judgment. 1t is working
out O. X.
One thing that makes McGrady val
liable is that he will say mo" to his
best friend on any proposition that
cannot be supported with facts and
reason. When McGrady backs some
thing it has to be on the square-and
everybody knows it.
So, when folks see McGrady coming
they know that he's coming with
something that can be backed up and
they know it's going to take a mighty
strong case to beat him.
Men with guns have-in years past
tried following McGrady around
with guns. But they found out he
doesn't scare.
Some men don't scare easy. Nc
Grady doesn't scare at all.
It's been tried and it doesn't work.
Several unions have found that Nc
Grady's Office in the War Department
is important-that it gets results
where results are warranted.
Several unions wish there were sew
eral McGradys scattered around in
important government Offices in Wash
ington. They are needed.
But that's the way Of the world
often there is limited supply.

Maryland PayrOlls
On Upward Climb

Baltimore, Md.-Maryland payrolls
and employment continued to rise
during June, completing the first half
year in more than a decade in which
both employment and payrolls have
increased every month for the period,
John M. Pohlhaus, state labor COM
missioner, said.
Employment increased "a per cent
over May, and combined weekly pay
rolls were up 3.5 per cent, Pohlhaus
said.
Both increases we've contra-s seasonal,
he added, the average change during
the past eighteen years being a de-
crease of one per cent in employment
and 2 per cent drop in payrolls from
May to June.

Switzerland's calm and courageous
attitude in the face of great danger
from without was recently the sub
iect of favorable comment in this
column, which pointed out that the
little country's stand was undoubtedly
largely due to her organized workers,
who from the first have voiced their
determination to defend their country
to the utmost.
Though the Swiss unions have been
passing through difficult times since
the outbreak of the war and for years
before, because of the worldwide de-
preston, they have maintained their
strength remarkably well. Reports
show that unions affiliated with the
central organization had an aggregate
membership of 212,602 at the end of
1910, decrease of Al per cent COM
pared with the previous year. But de-
spite the consequences of war and mo-
bilization, membership was 10 per cent
higher than in the crisis year of 1880.
Building and woodworkers' unions
were hardest hit, on account of the
sharp decline in building activity. Only
minor losses were suffered by the
metal and watch-workers' union, rail
waymen, commercial and transport
workers, employees of the public serv-
ices and other unions.
Preparations for defense have not
put all the unemployed in Switzerland
to work, any more than they have in
the United States. With industry
working full time and with great
demand for labor in farming, the
number of persons wholly unemployed
was 1858. The labor movement points
out that it would be erroneous to con-
clude from this that unemployment
had as good as disappeared
No fewer than $500 men who would
otherwise be unemployed, were occu-
pied on emergency work, on the build
ing of mountain roads, in the Labor
Service, or in training courses. At the

in military and in civil life, to make
Camp Lee what it is today.
Even more conspicuous is a third
sign which reads: In the United
States you are asked to do. Under
a dictator you are forced to do"
That sentiment is frequently driven
home in talks to the soldiers al
meetings, quotation which I heard
today at a chaplains' rally.
Movement of troops into Camp
Lee is being stepped up and with
the arrival of GOT more selectees
today for training in the quarter
master and medical replacement
centers, the enlisted strength of
the camp, including selectees and
cadreS, reached 7,444.
The reception center received 1T
new men late last night to give it
a total of 538 on hand today. Re-
member, though, that these men
stay here only two days before they
are sent to other posts for three
months of intensive training.
Brig. Gen. Frank F. SnoWden
| deputy Quartermaster general of
the Army, has just completed an
inspection of Camp Lee. He gave
1t a clean bill of health.
The camp is nearly ready to ac-
commodate its full quota of $4,000
men. But much remains to be
done before it is finished" off
properly.
Few Safe Roads In Rain.
AT present, the two old macadam
roads left over from the World War
and one or two other newly paved
roads are the only ones that afford
safe travel in muddy weather.
There are scores of company streets
and other clay roads-28 miles of
them-linking all parts of the
camp. With the ground as hard
and dry as it is now, one gets only
the jolts in riding over them.
Here and there one can see where
board walk has been placed. but
| all of them stretched together
wouldn't extend half mile. A camp
cannot be built to perfection in four
months, but it is a modern miracle
to see what has been done here to
date. To Maj. OLeary, an obliging
man with tired eyes that are shut
only a few hours in the night, goes
the greater portion of the credit.
Nothing has been left undone
within the range of somewhat lin
tied equipment to provide for the
comfort of the men. The men al
ways come first.
They are much better of in every
respect than the 10000, and some
times 10000, World War men who
were quartered here. The two-story
barracks are soundly built and
Waterproofed. What men in the old
days ever slept between clean cotton
sheets at Camp Lee as they do now?
I've found none who did and have
met good many in Petersburg.
There are hot water and modern
toilet facilities and plenty of heat.
The small number of hospital pa
tients-under 100-testifies to the
health, sanitation and the real COM
forts of the camp. No, you needn't
worry for fear your boy is not being
well fed and well cared for at
Camp Lee.
