the third candidate. J. G. Meisinger
of Eight Mile Grove precinct, has
filed in the office of the county clerk
his withdrawal from the race.
Mr. Meisinger, who is one of the
busy and energetic citizens of Eight
Mile Grove, has felt that he could not
spare the time necessary for the cam
paign and in justice to himself felt
i hat he should get out of the race.
Both of the remaining candidates

tinent facts relative to the packing
concern and its employes. The par
ticular interest that this publica
tion has for Plattsmouth people is
that its editor is Frank H. Shields,
formerly a resident here and who in
his boyhood days was known as
"Mickey." Mr. Shields, as a lad, was
a carrier for the Journal and worked
at different times during his school
days in the office of this paper and
here received the first dabble of
printers' ink that has caused him to
once more venture into the lure of
newspaperdom. Frank is a fine young
man and has a neat and very clever
publication to show as his handiwork.

TOR IS GALLED TO
A LARGER FIEL
Rev. and Mrs. John Calvert Receive
Offer of Position at Mothers'
Jewels Home at York.
Washington. Oct. 10. President
Harding today announced the per
sonnel of the commission which is
authorized by an act of congress to
make an exhaustive investigation in
both the bituminous and anthracite
coal fields with a view to recom
mending legislation designed to
bring tranquility to the industry.
John Hays Hammond of Washing
ton, an internationally known min
ing engineer, heads the list. The
other members are former Vice Pres
ident Thomas It. Marshall, Judge
Samuel Alschuler of Chicago, Clark
Howell, editor of the Atlanta, Ga.,
Constitution; George Otis Smith, di
rector of the United States geological
survey; Dr. Edward T. Devine, New
York City and Charles T. Neill. man
ager of the bureau of information of
Uhe southe'-'tern railways.
i ne commission win meet in asn
ington within ten days for the pur
pose of organizing, it was stated at
the White House. It is expected to
hold hearings, both In this city and
in the various coal fields, and is re
quired under the Borah-Winslow act
to make its first report to the presi
dent and congress not later than
next January 15. Thi3 report would
deal with the bituminous industry,
but a separate report of the anthra
cite committee would be required on
or before next July 15.
Among other things the commis:
sion will inquire into will be owner
ship and title of mines, the prices
of coal, organizations and persons
connected with the industry, both in
production and distribution, profits
of producers and distributors for the
last ten years, labor conditions,
wages, wage contracts, waste and ir
regular production and the causes of
labor disturbances in the coal fields.
Also the commission is to inquire
Into and recommend regarding the
standardization of the mines with
the possible closing of those unable
to maintain that standard, standard
ization of the cost of living and liv
ing conditions among miners and
the advisability of legislation hav
ing to do with government or pri
vate ownership, regulation and control.
The members of . the Methodist
congregation here and the host of
friends of Rev. and Mrs. John Cal
vert were verv much surprised and
t regretful to learn that the genial
pastor and his wife have been se
lected for other lines of work for
the church that will take them
away from this city, when Rev. and
Mrs. Calvert returned yesterday
i from York.
The position of superintendent
nnd assistant superintendent at the
Mothers' Jewels home at York has
been tendered to the Calverts and
in view of the importance of the
work the pastor an 3 wife feel that
they owe it to the church to accept
this position, much as they regret to
leave this city where they have made
so many warm friends during the
pastorate of Rev. Calvert.
The Mothers' Jewels home at York
is one of the five national homes of
the Methodist church which are
maintained by the Woman's Mission
ary society of the church, and has
at the present time one hundred boys
and girls being cared for by this
splendid institution.
The home has a laree number of
buildings and the children are edu
cated in the school of the home un
til they reach the high school when
thev attend the city schools at
York.
The acceptance of the position
will of course depend on the atti
tude taken by the church in this
city, but owing to the great need at
the home of a superintendent and
assistant of the assured ability of
Rev. and Mrs. Calvert, the church
here will probably give their consent
to the retirement of the pastor,
much as they regret it.
The general public will regret
fully as much as the Methodist
church the loss of the Calvert fam
ily, but the home at York can be
assured of having two of the finest
people in the whole world at their
head when Rev. and Mrs. Calvert
assume their new duties .

HAVELOCK MINISTER
ADDRESSES STRIKERS
Rev. C. L. Sloctjmb of the Havelock
Methodist Church Speaks on
Present Railroad Strike.
From Wednesday's Daily.
Last evening Rev. C. L. Slocumb
of the Methodist church of Have
lock addressed an open air meeting
of the strikers and citizens in gen
eral in front of the court house and
a very large audience was present to
hear the address and seemed in full
accord with the spirit of the meet
ing. The speaker in his opening re
marks traced his association with
the laboring men of the Havelock
s?iops and his interest and feeling
iii the strike and its principles and
vns emphatic in his stand on the
side of the men who had left the
shops of the railroads on the 1st of
July.
liev. Slocumb bittery attacked the
press of the country, charging its
control by the interests which he
claimed eminated from Wall street
and which also controlled the rail
road interests of the country, citing
the Burlington railroad especially.
The speaker stated that at the
close of the war when the troops of
the United States had won a victory,
that the railroad workers had in the
time of war gained a larger sharq
of th comforts ami opportunities
than they had possessed and that at
the close of the war the railroad
owners had awakened to this fact
and opposed it.
Attorney General Daugherty also
came in for a part of the remarks,
liev. Slocumb denouncing him as the
foe of labor and affo?ding the op
portunity of those who would break
up the organizations of railroad
workers.
The speaker took some time of his
::ddrcss in discussing the situation
in the strike from his viewpoint,
claiming that the conditions of the
road1? v.eor not as normal as stated
and that the various companies were
not having the work produced that
they claimed.
lie stated that the only man who
could win the strike was the indi
vidual striker and the only man who
could lose it was the striker win
ning by staying on the strike or
quitting at this time. He also de
nounced the new agreement of the
Burlington as a lure and snare for
the worker.
Rev. Slocumb urged the striking
men to stand firm and this senti
ment was received with much en
thusiasm by the audience, most of
whom were of the shopcraft mem
bers and their families.
The speaker had an excellent voice
and made a very able appeal for the
cause he was representing and at the
close urged a greater need of the
value of men and women and less of
the dollar.
HAS INJURED HAND
From Wednesday's Dally.
Our old friend, Fred Nolting, from
south of the city, is suffering from a
very sore right hand as the result
of an accident sustained a few days
ago. Mr. Nolting was engaged in
some work around the farm and in
doing so slipped and fell. As he fell
he threw his right hand down to
break the force of the fall and struck
a board from which a large nail was
protruding and the result was that
the nail was run in the hand sev
eral inches and inflicted a very pain
ful wound that required the services
of a surgeon to dress.

ARRIVES FROM GERMANY
Fritz Siemoneit, residing west of
this city, was most agreeably sur
prised on Monday evening when his
brother, Arthur, aged fourteen years,
and his cousin, August Seimoneit,
arrived here from the old home in
East Frussia. This is the first time
that Fritz has seen his little brother,
who was born after the departure of
Fritz for America and it is needless
to say that the young man is very
much pleased with America and with
the surroundings of his new home.
The new arrivals state that the farm

but that the laborers and dwellers
in the cities are suffering many hard
ships through the falling rate on the
German currency.
