Price of quicksilver has more than doubled ($81,49 to $194) a flask, 76 pounds. Haven't heard if the quicksilver miners (divers) re- ceived 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 q.s mines in production. Custer must have been some hombre! for no one seems to know his first name (George A.) - just Custer. Lustre must be heavy when it puts baptism titles in the eelipse. He was an Ohioan. Fast was his rise and quiek was his fall - age 37 Chiselers have no right to give him THE Bronx cheer. (Note the rating "The Bronx.") Mayor La Guardia is well thought of in "The Bronx"and not without reason: He keeps New York City Clean - com - pared. His new office for tantrum is: "butehkrieg." Times are more prosperous in same localities than others - also witness the improvements in New York Central expansions; to care for augmented traffic, prospective. Many of these go-getters rate doubleshift pallbearers... A railroad "bull" all steamed up on account of war. materials transhipments 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 those 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 a Brigadier General if not Supreme Marsh all 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?"
