A THRIFT LOAN 18 NOT A
GIFT.
When you buy a War Savings
Stamp what you do is to forego
for the presemt the use of the
money
it
costs. That money
comes back to you in five years
with interest at 4 per cent, com
pounded quarterly. You do not
give your money away you sim
ply place it at the disposal of
.your government in an hour of
need. And, remember, these
stamps arhen attached to a War
Savings Certificate are precise
ly like the bonds of biggest de
lomination—they axe secured by
uhe whole resources of the Unit
ad States. There is no safer se
curity hi the world.

MACIPSTS
Many New Members Going
Into The Organization.
Machinists Local No. 241 held an
other big meeting on Wednesday eve
ning. Much routine business was
transacted and many things of im
portance discussed.
A communication was received
with the information contained there
in that a Baltimore, Md., firm which
has large Government contracts,
want two hundred skilled machinists
at the highest wages. Every meeting
of the machinists, like communica
tions are received from firms through
out the country seeking members of
this craft. Machinists are in great
demand at the present time.
At this meeting it was also reported
that four additional firms in this
city, employing machinists, had sig
nified their willingness to grant the
eight-hour day and time and one-half
for overtime, but the names of these
firms are withheld pending adjust
ment of the wage scale.
New members continue to flock in
to the organization, a large number
were initiated at Wednesday's meet
ing and a batch of new applications
were submitted.
There is one thing sure, the ma
chinists made no mistake when they
engaged a business agent, especially
the one they have. He is a live wire,
always looking to the machinists
interests and always on the job. It
would be well for some of the other
locals to follow the example set by
the machinists.

Washington, March 1,—Indiscrim
inate violation of the 16-hour law by
railroads was charged by Timothy
Shea, acting president of the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, in picturing to the
railroad wage commission working
conditions which, he said, drove
the men to other employment.
"Wages of $2.60 a day do not cov
er the actual living expenses of a
married man," said Shea. "Our
men can leave the railroad and get
work in factories at $4 a day under
better working conditions and fewer
hours."
Conditions such as these, he as
serted, caused the labor turnover en
countered by the Erie i*ailroad in the
last six months of 1917, when 8,200
