oldest and most popular mail carriers'
passed to his reward on Thursday
morning at his home on, Buckeye

it was .with regret and sorrow that
his friends noted his gradual decline
and realized that his time was not for
much longer on this earth A
Brother Cory was in the mail ^ser

and was highly respected by the
thousands who knew him and loved by
all his friends who were legion. For
the past ten years -die was, what is

During his service in the postal de

Hamilton City. Both men are popular
with all the boys on the city lines
and both have many boosters. It was
seen right from the start that this
was going to be some race. All the
other contests were ignored and the
boys on all the lines from Cincinnati
to Dayton took' part in this one.
After that race that Dalton made
after the thief who grabbed the purse
of a lady two weeks ago and in which
Dalton made a wonderful display of
speed it was realized by the Spegal
men that their man would have to go
some. But go some he did. There is
one thing that Leslie can't be accus
ed of and that is being a quitter. He
surely did make John stretch himself.
He was right up on Dalton's heels
all the way around the track and
when the finish came, with nearly 200
votes cast, Spegal was only 7 votes
behind. Going some! Les' says it
is all off with John the next time. He
figures that if he can\ome so close
this time, with a little of that gum
shoe campaigning that he was taught
in the Monkey's elections, he will make
Dalton look like he was tied in the
next race.
Resolution On Death
Of Brother Shelhorn.
It has pleased the Almighty Ruler
of the Universe to call away Brother
Henry Schelhorn, one of the most hon
orable members of Metal Polishers
Union LooufNo. 43, and we deem it
our duty to pay- a last and proper
tribute of respect to his memory.
Brother Schelhorn was a faithful
and hard working member of this or
ganization and duiyng his life used
every sincere effort on his part to
carry out the obligations he assumed
when becoming a member. During
his short illness he was patient and
cheerful and was ever glad to receive
the visits of one of our members.
He was an honorable man, a good
citizen and- a devoted husband. In
all the walks of life he endeavored to
do his duty as a man. We sincerely
mourn his loss and now place his name
on the list of our honored dead.
We extend to his wife our sincere
sympathy and trust she may be con
soled with the thought that he is not
dead, but sleeping and that some day
a reunion will take place beyond the
grave.
Le\ this tribute be recorded on our
minutes, a copy of these Resolutions
be sent to the bereaved wife and a
copy to the Butler County Press.

Our old friend L. D. Palmer a mem
ber of Metal Polishers' Union of Mid

send the Press seventeen 3 cent post
age stamps for another year's sub
scription. The stamps amount to 51
cents, which has been placed to the
brothers credit with thanks.

Smiling Harry Hensel, secretary of
Old 68, Iron Molders Union, dropped
into the office one c\ay this week with
nice bunch of subscriptions. The
nice part of it was that Harry had a 50
cent piece to go with each one of them.

We notice among the subscription

names of Brothers Wm. E. Menche

State Department of Health, with cer

Stand For A
Relative Wage
By Frank E. Wolfe, Of the
American Alliance For
Labor and Democracy.
Must a period of depression follow
the declaration of peace between the
warring nations
Must the American people undergo
hardships because of demobilization
readjustments?
Those questions are answered bi
two men:
Samuel Gompers says it is not nec
essary. He says that as long as prices
remain high there shill be a relative
wage to meet the needs of all workers
There will be no recession no back
ward step for the workers who hav
so loyally stood by the country dui
ing the war.
Back of this statement are four mi
lions of organized workers ready 1
stand loyal to their leader who ha
never swerved and never faltered.
Frank A. Vanderlip, financier, says
that wages of labor or prices will not
fall for years to come. #He is prob
ably correct.
v
There are 20,000,000 bondholders in
America as against '280.000 before the
war. Most of these are wage earners.
They have learned several lessons in
the past eighteen months—lessons in
finance, economics, relative wages and
many other subjects that were once
unfamrliar to labor. They will always
have a voice in affairs of the nation.
That is one of the by-products of the
war. s
Intelligent handling of the matter
of mustering out men will go far to
ward solving a difficult part of the
problem.
Whatever comes, there will be little
reason for depressions and hardships.
It can be avoided, and organized labor
stands ready to do its part in recon
struction as faithfully and loyally as
it has done its part in winning the war
for freedom and democracy.

What Do You
Mean?
The editor of the Press is in receipt
of a letter this week which no boubt
comes from a member of Molders'
Local Union, No. 68. In this letter
the writer eulogizes Harry Hensel the
present Financial-Secretary of the or
ganization for the good work he has
done, and enclosed a new crackling one
dollar bill, but neglected to state
what the dollar was for and also fail
ed to attach his name to the letter.
The editor does not know if the writer
intended it to renew his subscription
to the Press, or to pay for the writeup
for Harry Hensel, or if he intended
it for a Christmas present for the
Editor. If for the latter purpose, we
wish the writer would inform us some
time before the first of the year be
cause the editor is thinking seriously
of turning over a new leaf and could
use it to a big advantage before that
time. In the meantime it has been
deposited in the editor's poor box and
will remain there in silent bliss until
we hear from our friend. Harry Hen
sel of whom the writer speaks needs
no praise as the financial-secretary of
the Molders' Union. His record in
that position speaks for itself and
if he was not a good officer the mem
bers of that organization would not
have reelected him as often as they
have.

Time To Stay
On Job.
Peace Talk Does Not Mean
That War Production May
End Now War Program
Still Going On.
Reports which'have reached the De
partment of Labor indicate that the
prospect of early peace is leading to
withdrawal of men from war work,
and that some plants have had much
difficulty in keeping a working force
together because of the desire of the
men to get into peace-time occupa
tions.
Ch irles M. Schwab and Edward N
Hurley have issued statements to the
shipbuilders urging them to remain
at their tasks and pointing out that
there will be jobs for them in the
yai-ds for years to come, because
15,000,000 tons of shipping are to be
built and only 2,000,000 tons have been
completed as yet. Major-General Wil
liams has also issued a warning to
Ordnance Department employees
forming them that there will be time
enough to think of peace when the
peace protocol is actually signed.
The same condition applies to other
war indijstries, and the Department of
Labor will maintain its war program
until the necessity for it has ended.
Men employed in essential war indus
tries should remain until the labor
demobilization plans of the Depart
ment are announced. The factorie
will be turned over eventually to
peacetime production, but the time for
that change has not yet come.
The Shipping Board, it is said, neet
a large number of men, not only to
build ships but to man them when the
are completed. Because of the prompt
announcements of Mr. Schwab aiu
Mr. Hurley, the shipyards have lost
comparatively few men since tl
peace talk began.
