They wore cartridge belts nnd canteens. Their officers had their 'automatics strapped to their hips. Ex cept that they left their heavy equip ment under guard in the train, they marched in the parade ns they marched Into their battles in the Argonne. Whole City Turned Out 0Mmden una rcmlv p.irlr Early for the parade. Tor hours the people gathered j in little groups along the route, which . .. . .... jeu irom uie I'eunsyivnnin termiual nt, Federal street to the Third Itegimcnt nnnory, at Iladdon nvenue and Micklc street, waiting eagerly for the whistle blasts that would niinouhcc the arrival of the first troop train.' The station, too, had its little groups of waiting relatives, and tli big Ferry Square was soon ringed with eager spec tators. sjt was 7:20 when the first whMle blast, 'caught up by every factory in town, every locomotive in tlie railroad yards and every fern boat and tug .on the Camden side of the river, gave notice that the first troop train was arriving. It proved to be the train enrrying the pioneer lcgiincnt. The men were leaning from rlic windows, wnving caps nnd handkerchiefs, when the train steamed in. For a few moments it was uncertain whether Captain Killiau's contingent was to parade with the 114th. Then came w'ord that orders had been (lashed from Washington that they wero to j march. With the first whistle blasts ; the crowds" began to assemble in earn- , est. A few managed to gain admission "tp the trninsh'ed, nnd the soldiers were 'warmly greeted by these first nrrivals. An hour later the whistles once more . shrieked in chorus and an even longer !. train, bearing Colonel Williams and the i first contingent of the 114th, pulled into I ,thc station. The men of the Fifty , third, were ordered back on their train ' while the 114th's contingent, which was to have right of wny in the parade, lined up on the platform, and with their band leading swung out to the square, i The Fifty-third followed the first I group of the 114th to the square, and the soldiers lined up at case in company '' formation. '; They had not long to wait for the $ whistles that for the third time an 't nounced that a troop train was coming. It brought the last of the soldiers from ' the 114th. There were ."92 enlisted men and nine officers in the Fifty-third Pio neers, 474 men and twenty-four of- i fleers in the first section of the 114th ' and' 500 men and seventeen officers in t,' the second. While the troops were waiting in ftho Ferry Square for flic order to xmarch, Camden got its first real look nt I its soldiers. The men were drawn up T in a compact body, ringed round uy n dense crowd. Ilundrcitk climbed to the f roof of the long shed nKing the trolley ' tracks on one side of the square, and from the point of vantage waved flags and shouted greetings to the soldiers. Reunions Were Numerous Down in the square mounted men 'nnd nntrolraeu from the Camden force .kept order, but in n good natured fash ion that was in harmony with the spirit bt the day- A good many people got through the lines and passed down the '' ranks of troops, looking for loved ones, ' There were many reunions.

Here lind assembled to greet them the relatives of as many of the soldiers ns could come up for the parade. When the marching men pnssed the court house ns the parade first traversed its route the cheers and full-hearted ciies of greeting from the old fathers and mothers, the young wives and sweet hearts and the many children thronged at the courthouse were more affecting than any other incident of the wel come. Hut the joy of this first glimpse of tlie bronzed faces under their old "tin hats" was -a smnll things compared to the hundreds of intimate though in formal reunions that took place when the men came back to the armory for lunch, and overflowed the square while waiting for the march back to the trains. For n brief but very happy half hour the soldiers nnd their home folks mingled fit little groups in the square. Smiles and kisses were the order of the day. The march back to the Pennsylvania traiiished wns another triumph. Thou sands ot men nud women waited for nnothcr glimpse of the soldiers as they , made thejr way back to the train t f ntil the last man wns aboard, and the f three sections moved oft toward Dix and demobilization, Camden kept up its holiday.

Let me. tell you how the workers plan to make the work of Mr. Wilson and that of his associates in the official family easier, and to leave them free to handle the big problems which come be fore them every working day. They have organized a COM MITTEE OF 32, consisting of men and women members, who are elected to membership by vote of their associates in the several departments of the business. Every member of the commit tee receives from his or her associates suggestion; that bear on improving conditions in the plant, and then in com mittee meetings, which are held frequently, these suggestions are discussed frankly, and if by majority vote it is decided to make recommendations to the Official Family it is done, there beinffljresent at all meet ings a very able woman secre tary who transcribes, in con crete form, the recommenda tions made. Here is a case of workers se lecting men and women from their own ranks to represent them in all important matters affecting their interests and the members of the Committee of 32 have the complete con- r.enPe sf their ' associates. Whatever the fYmm?ffon ,-nr, ' to do is always satisfactory to the workers in all departments. 1 1 was privileged to be present at One Of flip montirmo nt 4-U 1 Committee of 32. T ViPnrri VmtTi i men and wnmnn sfnnri nn -,,-,; I feet and talk straight from tri i shoulder. There, was no mis understanding what they said. They knew what they wanted to say and they said it. They voted to make some recommen dations to the officials. I Then they invited me to talk to mem, wnicn i was glad to do, because I believe thoroughly in the idea that nil problems and difficul ties in business can be settled by the workers themselves if they will honestly and sincerely co-operate with ifje another and state their case f lankly to the heads of the business. After I had finished talking, the i Committee of 32, by unanimous vote, elected me an Honorary member an honor that I prize very highly. What is the result of all this, so far as the business of Wilson & Co. is concerned? TU rt...f- ..n....U -..! Al. i .. . j.u-- nisi, n-.-uii uuu liiu most im- I portant of all is that the Commit- tee of 32 succeeds in maintaining a splendid relationship between the workers and the officials. Mutual confidence and respect prevail con tinuously. tt Tho second result also very impor tant is that the speedy adoption bv the officials of the recommenda tions made by the Committee of 32 puts tho members on their honor and they make onl such recommenda tions as are important. Trivial mat ters, never get u majority vote in the Committee meetings. The third result also very impor- tant is that the members of tho t Committee of 32 nre more often con- . cerned about making recommenda tions designed to benefit the busi ness as a whole than they are about having something done to benefit themselves. The Committee has brought about a condition of affairs which means contentment on the part of their associate workers, and this, of course, I maKes mem more emcient and more keen to serve the company honestly. ! At the committee meeting I at tended one man nad a good deal to say about the splendid work of tho men in the Ham and Bacon depart ments telling his associate mem- bers of their pride in producing the Certified Wilson Brands, and sue. j gesting that every worker in every I other department should make it a J matter of personal honor to assist in the preparation of food products itliat will always rusuiy the use of the slogan, "The Wilson Label Pro tects Your Table."
