Price of quicksilver has more than doubled ($81,49 to $194) a flask, 76 pounds. Haven't heard if the quicksilver miners (divers) received an increase in pay. Probably tied down to a labor contract. I believe labor contract is unconstitutional! Witness the employer "pegging" the price of what he has to sell? Nix on that. War prices is double, (triple) portion gravy for the employer. A prayer here is in order! California has 59 qs mines in production.

A railroad "bull" all steamed up on account of war materials transshipments came rushing at me, but when he took one look at the roll of overalls I was carrying he restrained himself and said "Oh, I thought you was one of these bums." Can you imagine, me a bum? I can forgive him for that slight lapse for I could see by his tranquil eye that he rated me a Senator or Brigadier General if not Supreme Marshall of all the land forces. That wouldn't be so bad, Brigadier-General T-Bone Slim- if I got my just dues. According to circumspect etiquette you don't wait till the bull rushes you, you rush him, and say: "How are you officer, what's the best way to get to the highway?
