speaks excellent English.
SPECIAL SIDING
Cars in which the Mexicans are
housed were brought here from Lima

Virginia CrOW And
HOUdrd HOUeU We'd

In a quiet and impressive cere-
mony Virginia M. Grew, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ferd Grow of Mt.
Cory and Howard G. Howell, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Howell of
Pandora were united in marriage at
the brides home at $50 o'clock last
Wednesday evening. Rev. Samuel A.
Myers offciated in the double ring
ceremony.
Miss Ruby Howell, sister of the
groom, was the brides only attend
ant, and Roy Grow, the brides bro
ther, acted as best man.
The bride was attired in a light
blue wool suit with which she wore
black accessories and a corsage of
gardenias and red rosebuds. The
maid of honor wore an aqua wool
dress with a corsage of peach rose
buds.
The men of the bridal party wore
dark suits with boutonniers of car
nations.
Following the ceremony, refresh
ments were served to Rev. and Mrs.
Samuel A. Myers, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Howell, Mr.. and Mrs. Ferd
Grow, Roy and Charles Crow, and
Misses Ruby Howell, Anna Mary
Croy and Betty Lou Grow.

line from the cars to Jefferson street.
Electric current will be provided
from town lines.
Laborers comprising the work
crew are native Mexicans, recently
brought here under arrangements
with the United States government.
When their work on the railroad is
completed, the Mexicans must re-
turn to their native country. 1t is
the responsibility of the railroad to
keep track of them, and if one dis
appears the company is required to
notify federal immigration authori-
ties.
All the Mexicans speak Spanish
dialect, and altho some know a few
words of English an interpreter is
needed to pass on the orders of the
foremen.
NATIVE MEXICAN FooD
Their meals are native Mexican
dishes, plentifully sprinkled with red
peppers. In the preparation of
their food, about two bushels of red
peppers are needed each week. To
supplement the red peppers used in
cooking the food, large dishes of
chopped red peppers are put on the
table at each meal and are eaten by
the Mexicans much as we eat
pickles.
A favorite fish is frijoles, a red
bean; chill, and tortillas, a baked
cake of cornmeal. The Mexicans
like sugar but do not eat black pep
per, which they consider too hot
Onions also are popular.
Breakfast is served at a. M,
the noon meal at 1880 a. m. and
the evening meal at $3.50 p. m.
The men have their evenings free
and spend it smoking Mexican Gig
arets, somewhat similar to the "roll
your own" kind here and playing q
game with cards. The cards, differ
ent from those marketed in this
country bear symbols of flowers and
fruits.
Rate of pay for the Mexican la

borers is 67 cents an hour for an
eight hour day. Much of the money
earned by the men is sent back home
to Mexico where the U. S. dollar is
worth $485 in Mexican money. This
represents an unusually good income
for the Mexicans.
WELL BEHAVED
The men located here are we'll be-
haved, and Timekeeper John Zehr-
niger, of Ft. Recovery, says that in
the 10 months he has been with
them the Mexicans never have got
ten into trouble with the police.
Most of them are of Catholic faith.
Principal expenditure of the men
is for shoes and clothing. They like
to be dressed up when off duty and
they buy good quality merchandise,
Zehringer said.
In charge of the crew is Foreman
S. +. Whiteneck, of Elwood, Ind. ;
Issach Kinser, Muncie, Ind, and
Lewis Eppard, Camack, Ind, assist
ant foremen. Jose Martinez, a ma
tive Mexican, is the interpreter. He
transmits the foreman's orders and
often accompanies the men into town
when they want to buy wearing ap-
parel, etc.
Laying of the new track over the
eight-mile stretch will represent the
largest rail replacement project un-
dertaken in this area by the Nickel
Plate in the last IL years.

Teachers Oppose ''Hasty"
Plans For Compulsory
Military Training

Washington, D. C.-Opposition to
any "hasty or ill-considered action to
set up compulsory military training
for youth in the postwar world" was
expressed by the Commission on Edu-
cation Reconstruction of the Ameri-
can Federation of Teachers at a spe-
cial meeting here.
The views of the teachers group
on this subject, which has not yet
been passed upon by the American
Federation of Labor as whole, were
conveyed by letter to President Roose-
welt.
The commission pointed out in it's
letter to the President that while it
strongly favors whatever measures
may be necessary to the national de-
fense, cit is convinced that the ma
ture of these measures cannot be de-
termined at this time"
The requirements of national de-
dense after the war, the teachers said,
will depend upon the character of in
ternational as well as national de-
velopments after victory is attained.
The teachers urged that commits
sion of outstanding persons represent
ing the Army, Navy, veterans organi-
cations, educational groups, labor,
management, agriculture and the pub
lie at large be appointed to inquire
into the question of national COM
pulsory military training program for
American youth. The commission
should be empowered to make recon-
mendations to the Government, the
teachers said.

WINNING THE PEACE

If we're to win the peace as well as
the war, the cost of living must be
kept down and the purchasing power
of money preserved. A reckless infla
ton that would necessarily be followed
by the catastrophe of deflation-with
it's unemployment, bankruptcies, mis-
ery and heartache-must be prevented
at all cost. Let's make no mistake
a dangerous period lies ahead. The
American people have nothing to fear,
however, if they show in the future
the same common sense they have
shown in the past, and continue to
put every penny over rock-bottom ex-
penses into the purchase Of more and
more war bonds.

tributed $4,000 of their hard-earned

Grams take their choice. They then

COMMENT on WORLD EVENTS

general organizer she led campaigns
and strikes in various cities across
the land and in Canada and Puerto
Rico.
Notable phases of her story deal
with police lawlessness; thousands of
Puerto Rican needle-workers starving
under bureaucratic rule; Seattle en-
ployers as vigilantes; sadly exploit
ed Mexican and Dust Bowl women in
Los Angeles; women breaking factory
windows to save Flint sit-downers
from tear gas; opposition to "disrup-
tive foreigners" (organizers from the
U. So in Montreal; failure of the
Mohawk Valley back-to-work formula
in Cleveland; appalling conditions in
San Francisco Chinese underground
garment shops; mountain men with
hair-trigger tempers on the 11-mile
picket line in Akron, and "outside agi-
tators" striving to maintain peace;
years when the ILGWU was torn by
internal war.
There are memories, too, of the au-
thor's childhood in Tsarist Russia; Of
the Black Hundreds; Of peasants burn
ing landlords estates; of an immi-
grant girl joining Waistmakers' Lo-
cal 25 soon after arrival in America;
Of marching on May Day past the
scene of the Triangle Waist Co., fire,
in which 146 girls died behind locked
doors or jumping from high windows;
of pioneering for workers education.
After Pearl Harbor, Miss Pesotta
gave up organizing and returned to
work at sewing machine, and now
makes WAC uniforms in New York
dress factory. She has long believed
that labor union officials should go
back into industry at intervals to
keep in touch with rank-and-file
problems. At the 1914 ILGWU con-
vention, she declined nomination for
a fourth term on the general execu-
tive board.

EMBLEM OF PROGRESS

What has been described as perhaps
one of the most effective presenta-
tions of the reasons for demanding
union products and union services ever
to be broadcast was aired recently
over Station WTOP of the Columbia
Broadcasting System by Albert N.
Dennis. Mr. Dennis, president of the
Washington Union Label League, is
the founder of the well known Labor
News Review" radio program. On his
534th weekly broadcast, he said:
"The one emblem that most truly
represents the fruits of ceaseless toll
and effort for the betterment of man
kind, from Alpha to Omega, from the
days of serfdom to the present ad-
vanced state of wage earners, is the
union label-whether a label on
product, a union shop card or union
service button.
"The union label affords the ONLY
positive assurance that the goods you
purchase were (1) made by capable
workers, fairly compensated for their
work; (2) not made in a foreign ma
tion by exploited labor; (3) not made
in prison; (4) not made by child la
Dor, and (5) not produced by sweat
shop methods. The same principles
applies to union services of all kinds.
when you demand union-made
goods and union services, you (1) as
suredly help yourself; (2) you help
your fellow-men, and 81 you aid in
the advancement of civilization to
higher standards and greater accom-
plishments.
''These simple truths must be plain
to all who toll, their origin a part of
the age-long struggle of ALL wage
earners-and certainly their worth
should be appreciated by all. Truly,
the union label is an emblem of pro-
gress."
