F. BOGKHOFF

HONORED BY EMPLOYES ON 60TH ANNIVERSARY

Wheels of industry in the National Automatic Tool company's plant were still for a half hour Wednesday morning. Every employe in the factory and offices helped to make the 60th birthday surprise party for William F. Bockhoff. founder and president of the local company, a complete success. ,., Long before Mr. Bockboff arrived at the plant, word was received that he was on bis way. Workmen left their places, and in factory attire , assembled, together with all office employes, in the drafting room. Upon a desk f-tood a jardiner of roses 60 of them. Behind a black curtain at one end of the room was a beautifnl wall clock; the gift to Mr. Bockhoff from his employes. Edward Frank Speaks. Mr. Bockhoff was escorted into the room by Edward Frank, sales manager for the company. Mr. Frank made a brief speech in which he expressed the love of the employes for their employer. 'There's a city in southern Ohio of which you all know, and from which some of you have come," were Mr. Franks opening remarks. "It is Cincinnati. We have no doubt that some good things come from that city, for it has given us William F. Bockhoff, whom by constant association we have learned to love, esteem and admire., - "Coming to this, city Mr. Bockhoff started in the groeery business and by reason of his earnestness in effort his business grew and prospered until he bad to purchase a cash register to take care of his sales. Seeing the possibility in the machine which he bought, Mr. Bockhoff began selling the product. - Rises tn Profession. "Then came an offer from the National Cash Register company, of Dayjton, O. Mr. Bockhoff accepted the position and rose from sales agent to district sales agent, and-; finally -to conductor of the company's school of -.salesmanship.

- "He resigned this position in 1909 to purchase the National Automatic Tool company, of Dayton, O. The company was in a poor condition because of bad management. In May, 1910, he moved the company to Richmond. Here he watched it grow from one of the smallest to one of the largest. It was under his guidance and leadership and his persistent concern for the welfare of his employes that the plant has grown. We who have been closely associated with Mr. Bockhoff, value him principally because of his noble character." When the large wall clock was unveiled in conclusion, all Mr. Bockhoff could say, so over-come was he by the occasion, was "Well, boys, I thank you."

Friends may call any time, PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH MEETING WILL TAKE UP MANY SUBJECTS fBy Associated Prat) WINONA LAKE, Ind., May 18. Nearly 1,000 overtures from presbyteries and synods on 25 different subjects will be presented before the 133rd General Assembly of the Presbyterian church which meets here tomorrow and continues until May 29. The overtures embrace resolutions asking for changes in form of Presbyterian government, limitation of the office of stated clerk of general assembly, consolidation of various boards, a revision and re-allocation of the Presbyterian annual budget. There are also overtures relative to the question of the Organic Union of Evangelical churches. One overture of this kind asks that there be no such union, while another advocates that even though ' the presbyteries have decided against organic union that still negotiations be continued and plans devised looking forward to such a union. Organic Union Question. At present the question of organic union is before the presbyteries, having been sent down by general assembly to the presbyteries for their action last year. On April 29, the records in the stated clerk's office at Philadelphia, showed that more presbyteries were opposing the union of evangelical churches than were favoring it, the vote at that time standing 78 in favor and 104 opposed. To carry Presbyterian law requires that there be a twothird majority. Besides the question of organic union this committee will also bring in recommendations on a federal plan of union for Reformed and Presbyterian churches holding the Presbyterian system. Considerable headway is expected to be made in plans for federal union of the churches holding this Presbyterian system which include the Dutch Reformed church, German Reformed church, the Southern Presbyterian church and the Presbyterian church in the U. S. A., and the United Presbyterian church. Eligibility of Women. Another important question to be considered will be relative to the eligibility of women to the eldership and deaconship of Presbyterian churches. This also was sent down by the last assembly to the 302 presbyteries and is now being voted on.

RAIL LABOR BOARD TO EXTEND WAGE CUT AMONG ALL EMPLOYES fcHICAGO, May 18. The general reduction of wages for unskilled railroad employes, effective July 1, forecast by the railroad labor board in an announcement last night will be extended to all classes of railroad employes. It was reported today. The Chicago and Alton and Chicago Great Western railroads were among the roads, who in their petitions for wage reductions asked that the cuts be applied to all classes and it was understood the reduction which the board said would be announced June 1, would be carried out proportionately among shop, train service and other classes of employes. The June 1 decision, it was announced, would cover applications filed prior to April IS and those filed since will be decided June 6, all to take effect July 1. Nearly half of the 160 Class A roads in the country filed their disputes in time to have them docketed befora April 18, but only a few requested that the wage decreases apply to all classes. Extent Not DeterminedNo intimation was given in th-; board's announcement as to the probable extent of the cut. Last July the board increased wages of unskilled labor and sonde other classes 20 per cent, making it retroactive to May 1, 1920. 'The general effect of the decision will be to retard track work," said S. M. Falton, president of the Chicago Great Western. Railroad executives said track maintenance and repair crews had been kept at skeleton strength, hoping for a wage cut effec tive April 1. Disappointment was expressed that the cut was to be delayed until July 1, as by that time, it was said, the heaviest part of track rehalitation work is generally completed. The decision last July affected approximately 2,000,000 men and granted increases totaling nearly $600,000,000 a year. The average raise then was 20 percent. The normal number of un skilled employes on Class A roads, railroad executives said, was 500,000, but in anticipation of a wage cut, th3 number of maintenance employes has been kept considerably below that figure.
