THE
‘UNHAPPY” “HAPPY” WARRIOR
On Saturday night of last week A1 Smith got off his chest a
vitriolic tirade against Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal.
Sour grapes of a departed Presidential candidate and the ani
mosity of the Liberty League, the Manufacturer’s Association, the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce and the Republican party were all
thrown into his talk. And the rebound was not what Mr. Smith
expected, because the American people are sensitive to a certain
degree, and they realize the fact that Roosevelt has at least made
an attempt to better the condition of the people, who were cry
and they welcomed it, but now that business conditions are in a
ing for help when he came into office. The bankers wer in a
helpless state; business was stagnated and the people were un
employed and hungry. This good old U. S. A. was on the verge
of collapse. Roosevelt gave our people the best remedy at hand
and the welcomed it, but now that business conditions are in a
more stabilized form Big Business would kill the man that brought
thm out of the Slough of Despond. “Oh consistency, thou art
a jewel.”
As was to be expected, Roosevelt vetoed the bonus bill, for
he had to run true to form, and also Congress was scheduled to
override the veto, in order to keep the political fences in good
shape--and also. Senator Bailey, of our State, was expected to turn
irw! e m ®r?er ®*ve his scalp. So how nicelv it all works out.
“Oh. consistency, thou art a jewel.”

POSTAL MESSENGER UNIFORMS
WILL BE MADE BY UNION FIRM
MIAMI, Fla.—Announcement was made at the meeting of the
Union Label Trades Department executive board that all Postal
Telegraph messengers’ uniforms hereafter will be made by A. Du
Bois & Son, of New York City, a completely union firm with a long
record of union operation.
It was learned that the contract for Postal messenger uniforms calls for
the manufacture of uniforms which will involve payment over $80,000. It is
understood that each garment will bear the union label. The uniforms are
to be of wool.
Labor officials received the announcement as another indication of the
friendly attitude of the Postal company toward organized labor.
It was announced also that the Commercial Telegraphers’ l nion of North
America has been accepted by the Union label Trades Department as an
affiliate, the application for affiliation having been made by the union some
weeks ago. Union telegraphers are entitled to wear a union button and
patrons are entitled to ask that messages be transmitted by operators wear
ing the union button.
A representative of the Commercial Telegraphers’ Union informed the
Board that the Postal Telegraph company does not discriminate against
union employes and that its attitude is regarded as friendly by the union.

The Gaelic Word "Baite
The Gaelic word •‘Halle’’ (pro
nounced “Ball-ya”), meaning a town,
was formerly used to denote any group
of dwellings or settlements larger than
a mere village and the name of the
local chief was added, says (Pearson’s
Weekly. Thus we have Ball.v-martin,
Bally-honan, etc. Where there was no
local lord or chief of sufficient Impor
tance to be thus honored, the town was
distinguished by some peculiarity of
ihe surrounding neighborhood, e.g.,
Ball-na-hinch—or Ballynahinch— “the
town-of-the-Islands."

C Tli* Junior Uifit
The Junior league originated among
a small group of young women In New
York city who In 1900 sent a large
number of roses from a party to f hos- j
pltaL Later they and others banded
together “for mutual benefit and the
good of the community.” From giving
entertainments for the benefit of a
college settlement they extended their
activities to many other forms of so
cial aid. Similar organizations of young
women were formed In other cities out
of which grew a national association
of leagues, each Interested) in Its par
ticular ways In the educational, cul
tural and civic conditions of its com
munity and in volunteer charitable and
other service.
