Greetings from the Boot and
Shoe Workers' Union convention
iu session in Philadelphia last week
wtre received by the PRESS in the
way of a card from John J. Scannell
organizer for that organization.
John is a frequent visitor here and
has many friends in this city who
are always glad to hear from him.
U
Tne PRESS desires to correct an
erroneous impressijn made in last
week's issue. The editor referred
to the flags flying from the Niles
Tool Works foundry, placed there
by the company. We have since
been informed that while it is true
the company placed them on the
building—yet, they were paid for
by popular subscription taken up
among the employees of the foun
dry.
U
The Textile Workers daace at
Eagles' temple last Saturday proved
just what was predicted for it
that is that it would be the big
thing of the season. The hall was
literally jammed, it being almost
impossible to dance. It? fact it
proved so successful, and many re
quests being made for more, it was
decided to give & noons'rous lawn

Patriotism will be the dominant
note of the Independence week pro
gram at Chester Park. Already
manifested this season in the dis
play of the National colors as the
chief feature iu the Chester Park
decoration, it will be enlarged and
emphasized in the individual pro
grams ©f the numerous entertain
ment organizations at the Park.
On Wednesday, July 4th, particu*
larly, there will be a demonstra
tion at Chester Park that will ex
cel anything of a sirailiar nature
that has ever been presented by
Manager I. M. Martin. It will be
in the nature of a real old fashioned
Fourth of July celebration brought
up to date through the introduc
tion of features appropriate to the
present crisis. There will be
grand patriotic tableau at the club
house and at the dance hall.
Bathing, dancing, and the nu

Following is a draft of the RESOLUTION, as presented to the President ui the United States, the Seru-.i u United
States, and the House of Representatives:
A E I I O N
To the President of the United States, to Congress, to the United States Senate, and to the Council of National Defence, ask
ing for the preservation of our country's instituitons, including the liberties of its people:
At this grave juncture, when the undivided and unswerving support of every citizen is due
United States, we the members of L. U representing O!
loyal American Workingmen, whose devotion to their country cannot be questioned, call attention to the following facts:
A fanatical and bigoted element of the population is bending every effort and making use of every misrepresentation to
force the Government into the adoption of National Prohibition on the pretext that such a measure is necessary for the conser
vation of food. Only ONE PER CENT of the country's grain is consumed in the production of beer, that has become the
habitual beverage of hosts of American workingmen as well as millions of other citizens. MORE THAN ONE-HALF of
the original amount of this grain is returned in the form of milk-producing feed.
We urge you to consider the fact that none of the European nations, whose situation is much more acute than ours, has
adopted Prohibition but that, on the contrary, they serve beer or light wine as rations to their soldiers.
We protest with all our power against any measure, urged by the forces of intolerance and hypocrisy, which would de
prive us of the use of a beverage which we have come to know as refreshing and beneficial, and we demand that the voice of
the people who toil and upon whom the greater part of the burden of this war will be placed shall be heard against the adop
tion of arbitrary and tyrannical legislation curtailing their liberties.
The foregoing petition has been adopted by a meeting of
which has a membership of this day o
1917.
