Lee Suard in a tribute to Gompers, published a recent issue of the Cigar Makers’ Of- ticial Journal.. Miss Guard was personal and confidential secretary to the presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor for 25 years. Her tribute to her chief is a singularly eloquent bit of writing, and in the course of it she also reveals another little-known phase of the labor leader’s character—a passionate love of music. “That the forces of destiny molded his life inte the world’s greatest labor states- man,” she says, “took from the realm of scious moral cour who knew that in the he lived in almost He was dependent upon > travel with demonstration of un a Few there are last years of his life total blindness someone to walk with him, him, to read to h “At the age when the average man con- siders active life as ended, more than half blind, he “carried on,’ accomplishing a prodigious amount of varied work that well might tax a man 40 years his junior Never was he heard to complain, never did he make a friend or colleague feel un- comfortable or ill at ease because of his handicap. So perfect was his manner, so quick, keen, retentive his mind that his friends forgot his semi-blindness; ac- quaintances and strangers did not sus- pect it, “And that was as he wished it to be no plea for sympathy, no special consid- eration because of physical disability, but only a strong man bravely fighting the battle of life and believing with all the intensity of his that the battle in which he was engaged was for the Ulti- mate good of all the peop soul A Lesson in Care Bes you like to be the dead letter man? He got 21,618,168 undeliverable letters last year, letters t were wrongly ad- dressed or that were sent to people who didn’t exist. : He also got 803,543 packages which were misdirected in the mails. The dead letter man and his assistants were able to fidd out who should have been the recip- ients of $48,187 of these packages, and he delivered them. In the undelivered letters the dead let- ter man found money amounting to $125, 997.57. He couldn't keep all of this, The own- ers were found for $70,173.61. That left a balance of $5 6 still in the hands of the dead letter man unclaimed. After a time it will be turned over to the U. S. treasury. Folks are more careleSs than ever in the way they address their letters and packa according to the dead letter of- fice.
