REWARDING OUR SOLDIERS. At a recent meeting of L. U. 192 of Bridgeport, the question was brought up for discussion as to ways and means of promoting a nation-wide movement in labor organizations to indorse paying our overseas soldier six months pay upon their discharge from service. The idea is to have delegates to Central labor bodies, Dist. Councils, Building Trades Councils, State Conferences Boards, State branches of A. F. of L., and National Headquarters request the A. F. of L. take up this proposition at Washington. Each L. U. might send its indorsement to its own international and they in turn to the A. F. of L. Such a petition would let our National law making bodies know that labor appreciates the hardships and sacrifice which her sons so cheerfully endured and suffered. Speaking for Local 190 I should like to see this taken up by our sister locals and have them express their views and indorsements. Let us see if the painters can't start something. Willard M. Lyon, Rec'd. Secy., L. U. 190, Bridgeport, Ct. WHY? Why should the trees that bear the fruit receive the least attention, while those that bear the burs and thorns are carefully tended? Why should there be a barren tree where fruitful trees may stand? Why should a worthless growth encumber fertile land? Preserve the timber that is good, and clear the culls away, and let the trees that bear the fruit have health, and not decay. Sow and plant and cultivate the best of every kind, and when the harvest time comes round, no barren trees you'll find. E. Z. Marx. CHANGES IN DIRECTORY ARIZONA Miami 700-F. S., W. H. Keehnel.
