Garfield Local, Stogie Makers, voted
in favor OF Labor Day parade last
Wednesday evening. The vote was
taken at a special called meeting and
was unanimous in favor of turning out
: This probably assures the parade.
Fhe Assembly decided two weeks ago
to learn the sentiment of the member

upon parade, and letters were SEM
to all the organizations. The majority
reporting are in favor of a parade,
and how that the largest local has
decided in it's favor. the parade seel.s
assured.
IF there is a parade said Fred
W. Sonderman, national secretary,
the stogie making industry will be
we'll represented. We always have a
good percentage of our members in
line, and from the sentiment so far ex-
pressed, believed tina, the percentage
this year will be larger than ever.
I'm addition to our own local, Gar
field the two protectorate locals of
boys and girls, employed as shippers,
will be in line. There will be a beauti-
full float for the ladies, while the
youngsters will trudge along like men.

1t will be the Labor Day Parade.
1t was not certain until last Sunday.
The Assembly decided not 70 have a
parade unless it was plain that the
locals wanted one, and wanted one so
badly that they would speak right out
and say SO. They said so. All the
locals reporting at the meeting Of the
Assembly Sunday reported that *hey
wanted a parade. In every reported
instance where the local had voted up
on the question, the membership had
voted in favor of the parade. Upon
the receipt Of this information, mo-
ton was made that the Assembly au-
thorize Labor Day parade, and the
vote, rising one, was<unanimous in
favor Of the motion.
Sentiment Assured.
This display Of favorable sentiment
assures the success Of the parade.
Heretofore the Assembly has simply
decided on the matter of parade, and
trusted to the locals to Join In and
take part. By the plan adopted this
year it is certain that the greatest, Ia
Dor parade in Weddings history win
result. :"

Demand Work For
Unemployed Army

Washington, D. c., July 17.-(Spe-
cia1.)-If the United States govern
ment deemed It wise to assist the
bankers during the rich mems
panic" of 1907, why is it not wise and
proper for the government to provide
employment for willing workers dur
ing the impending industrial depresi-
sion?
This question: is asked by Represeu-
tative Victor L. Berger, the Socialist
member of the House. And Berger
himself answers that it. is not only
proper for the government to give
work to the jobless, but also it is its
plain duty TO do SO. So to that end,
the Socialist congressman has intro
duced bill in the House ITO provide
for the employment of all willing
workers and for other purposes"
Berger's bill proposes that the Fed
eral government shall loan money to
states, counties and cities for public
improvements and Ghereby provide
work for the unemployed. His bill
reads:
'AThat for the purpose of providing
employment to all willing workers
and of furthering useful public works
such as the laying out, construction,
improvement or repair Gas the case
may be) of streets, highways, street
railways, parks, water works, electric
light plants, gas plants and school
houses or other public buildings, the
United States government shall issue
and loan money to country, city and
town governments under conditions
hereinafter provided.
Section 2. Upon the determine
ton, by any such local government to
undertake such public works, it may
deposit with the secretary of the
treasury a special issue of bonds not
to exceed in value 20 per cent of the
assessed valuation Of all property
within the Jurisdiction of such local
government.

Ettor Interest
Mounts Higher

Lawrence, Mass, July 17.-(Spe-
cial. Interest in the Ettor and Clio
vannitti case continues to mount
higher and higher. From all sides
come Indications Of an awakened
sense of injustice done to the working
class through the Imprisonment of
two of it's representatives. Especially
is this fact reflected in the mail re-
ceived by the defense committee, and
in the increasing number of articles
and editorials appearing in the cur
rent issues Of magazines and weekly
and daily papers, From the Pacific
Coast, from Dresden, Germany, from
the industrial centers of the middle
West, from peon-stricken Florida, and
from the hamlets of New England,
whose pastoral beauty is marred by

show the wind to be blowing in the
direction of liberation for Ettor-- and

Why They Struck
At The LaBG||e


When Ernest Brice came from Van
dergrift to act as Superintendent at
the LaBelle box works in Martins
Ferry, things began to go wrong
where everything had been peace and
harmony between employer and en-
ploye.. After being in charge three
days he had the face of the time
clock covered, and when questioned
BY q committed the only reply he
gave was that he was running the
place now, and would do as he pleased
without dictation from employees. He
was also heard to remark that he
would show the men here a few
things before he finished with them.
The next thing he did was to
change the pay periods from two
weeks to three. This caused such a
vigorous protest from the men that
the management decided that to pre-
vent a strike they would eliminate all
the indignities heaped upon them by
the new superintendent, and restore
things to the old order.
However, a sore spot remained
and shortly afterward Howard McFar-
land, foreman, who with his two
brothers, had been marked as ring
leaders in the former grievances Of
the men, was called into consultation
with the superintendent. A PROPOSE
ton was made that the Mcfarland
boys go to Vandergrift, Pa, and take
charge of the eompany's plant at tina
place, Howard to act as foreman al
$500 per month, and his two broth
ers as machinists at SITS per day.
The proposition was made with the
provision that IL tine boys were mo-
satisfied with the place after giving
it fair trial. they were to return ant
take up their old position in the plan
at Martins Ferry.
TO this they agreed, and the triI
was made. Arriving at VANDERBILT
they were met By District Manager

For the past week the high school
has had its share of gloomy weather
but general good will has prevailed
and much good work has been done.
Track work is at disadvantage
these damp days. And It is difficult
to get the life and zest into track
work which the nearness of the
spring meets seem TO demand, but
Claude Nelson is the right man in
the right place and can be counted on
to bring into condition the best sqaud
of track and field athletes high school
has seen.
The contestants for the Shawnee
debate were chosen in a preliminary
try-out last week. The showing made
was especially gratifying to the
Judges, and they We're outspoken in
praise of all who tried. Only three
debaters for the regular team and
one alternate could be chosen. These
four boys represent the very best
things in high school life: ability
leadership. spirit, work. In their
hands high school knows its name
and fame are safe. Nor can any be
found who are at all doubtful OF their
ability to bring to Ardmore the GOV
eted trophy. The three leading de-
baters are: Ernest. Hendon. Wilford
Hendon, George Anderson; the alter
nate is Joe NJ. London Here are
three cheers for the boys who are to
stand for Ardmore; here are three
cheers and a HURRAH for the team
which will retrieve the football de
feat of last fall and bring back to
the most loyal high school in the
state the state debaters' cup.
