Bridgeport Man Objected to

Student at Wooster University De.

Health officer-Dig Up
Body to Get Money
Picture Show Drama.

Bridgeport. Frank Coss, well.
to do merchant of this place, in.
sisted on his wife Adele staying
away from the moving picture shows.
Mrs. Coss was equally determined to
visit the movies every night during
the week and many afternoons also.
Coss tried every scheme he could con-
ceive to prevent her from gratifying
her passion. His efforts were in vain,
however, until he bethought himself
of a plan to deprive her of her foot
wear.
Hunting up all her stockings and
shoes-and she had goodly supply
of each-Coss wrapped them in a
bundle and threw them in the Ohio
river. He then refused to give his
better half money and forbade her
neighhbors and friends to loan her
any,
The scheme worked like q charm,
except on rainy days, when Mrs. Coss
would put on her husbands rubber
boots and would make a round of the
moving picture shows before she re-
turned to her home. Coss then sent
his boots over the same path as his
wife's shoes and hosiery had gone
and for time there was peace in the
family.
Determined, however, that she
would not be deprived of her enjoy
ment, Mrs. Coss donned her husbands S
best pair of shoes and taking q
chance on the ridicule that she was
likely to encounter when other pedes-
trians saw how she was shod, sailed
forth to make round of her dearly
beloved movies"
When Coss arrived home he discov-
cred his wifes absence. When he as
certained that his "movie-struck" wife
had worn his best shoes on her pill
grimage he curbed his anger and re-
mained at home to await her arrival
Mrs. Coss finally returned flushed
with happiness and promptly received
q severe thrashing from her husband,
for which the latter paid fine OF
$25 and costs in Squire Holderman' S
court.

TurnbuII Declared Mayor.

Canton. The Turnbull Schill.

years has kept Canton guessing
who it's chief executive really is and
how long he's going to stay, broke
out with renewed vigor Just when it
was thought ended.
The supposed message of peace was
decision of the court received here
by two court of appeals judges, Pow.
ell and Voorhees,, who declared A. r.
Turnbull mayor instead of Harry s..
Schilling, the present incumbent.
The judges held that Turnbull had re.
ceived margin OF two votes.
Schilling Immediately barricaded
himself in his Office in the city hall,
locked all the windows and stationed
a policeman on guard at the door to
prevent being ousted should Turnbuil
make the attempt Turnbull, how.
ever, said he would not act until his
right to the office had been fully con.
tirmed.

Raps Heartless Landlords.

Landlords may not charge their
tenants for house rent during the time
when occupancy was rendered impos-
sible by the recent foods, according
to ruling of Attorney General Ho.
gan. It develops that there are land
lords in Ohio neartless enough to at
tempt to extort rent for the time when
their property was absolutely deluged
and made untenantable by the water.
Under the old common law a landlord
could collect rent even while his prop.
erty was wholly unfit for occupany.

Convention Cost s4oo.ooo,

The constitutional convention of last

the state more than $400,00O, accord

This estimate includes the cost of the
special election last fall, when the

The special election cost the various

Bavarian Love Charms.

Both boys and girls in Bavaria,
when they have made a choice or are
desirous of better acquaintance with
a member of the opposite sex, arm
themselves with charms to inspire love
and affection in the other. The
myrrh is regarded as most potent
love inspirer if worn next to the skin
in the vicinity of ones heart, this
probably on account of its supposed
relationship to the myrtle, which in
Bavaria and other German speaking
countries takes the place Of orange
blossoms on the wedding day.

A Few Welfare Features
Here are n few noteworthy features OF
modern factory management as worked
out by the Goodyear administrative force.
Refrigerated well water plped through
out the factory.
An efficient hospital with doctor and
trained nurses, to look after the general
health of workers and give prompt treat
ment to injuries, however slight.
A factory lunch room accommodating
1900 at one time. where good. substantial
food is sold at actual cost.
An efficiency and welfare department.
to assist beginners to see that men have
the work for which they are best adapted:
to look into grievances and see that they
are adjusted on a basis Of fair dealing
for the men as we'll as for the manage
ment. This department. under the direc-
ton OF Mr.. c. r. johnson, has done won
ders in building up Goodyear spirit and
welding Goodyear workers into real
family with a loyalty to the Company
that withstands almost any crisis.
Employment Bureau
In the bureau of employment, red tape
IS dispensed with as far as possible. Hon
esty Of purpose is the chief credential.
And attracted by good wages. good,
healthful work. and wonderful chances for
the future, workers everywhere who want
to do better. are looking toward Akron
the city of opportunity. Applications.
both written and in person-from experts
from apprentices-from men and from
women--are pouring mall to be care
fully considered by Mr.. Johnson. Yet so
many are the stations to be flied and so
many are the kinds of work to be done
that the positions have scarcely begun to
be filed
These recent developments have made
Goodyear stand out as a notable example
Of modern methods of management. On
the whole, the Goodyear Family is happy
family. 1t has already attracted experts
and apprentices from all over the country
and now there's room for 1000 more !!
Contentment is seen on every face-the
strike, which affected Goodyear least OF
ALL is settled-peace and prosperity now
prevail among the Goodyear workers.
And all. with the result that the tire
output OF the Goodyear factory is the
largest in the world And about the tire
business, other lines of rubber manufac-
ture are being built up to give the great
Akron factory a balanced product.-Adv.

When the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company, Akron, Ohio, has completed the
two new factory additions it is now build
ing, its working force will be increased
to 5000, and places will be made for
1000 more workers. The additions will
bring the working floor space of the fac
tory to 100000 square feet.
These figures are used to graphically
summarize the growth of Goodyear from
nothing in 1898 to the largest single COM
pany in the world engaged In rubber
manufacture today.
Akron, Ohio. with it's dozen odd rubber
factories and other Industries. is Nrecog-
nized the country over as an indus
trial marvel Its population has grown
from less than 10000 to nearly 100000
in twenty years. More than half Of
Akron's heads of families are home own
ers. The rubber industry stimulated by
the enormous demand for tires for auto
mobiles and other motor vehicles, has
grown by leaps and bounds, and Akron
has grown with 1t, building up busy city
out Of village and taking q commanding
place In American industry.
Akron pays a million and half dollars
a month in wages The average monthly
wage earned by Goodyear employees, In
Guiding men, women and apprentices, for
1910, was $53.98; for 1911 was $57.4S; for
1912 was $6650. Among the 5000 Goodyear
employees, about $50 are women.

the average for 1918 will be still higher

How Mr.. Soldering
Favors Factory Workers

Some important problems have been
worked out in the immense Akron fac
tories F. A. Seiberling. President of the
Goodyear Company. believes that every
family should be enabled to own its home.
Mr.. Seiberling has the reputation of lv-
ing up to his beliefs. and in this matter
he has made no exception. This is what
Mr.. Seiberling did:
The Goodyear plant lies at the eastern
edge of the city. Mr.. Seiberling purchased
45O acres of land at farm prices. This
he had plated into lots then streets
were laid out; then trees were planted
and small lake within the allotment,
he gave with it's grounds to the city as
a park and playground
Then Mr.. Seiberling asked for plans for
houses-fguring on groups of 100 houses
at time. The plans soon followed. The
first hundred houses are to be built at
once, as soon as spring opens. The homes
will range up and down In price and in
elegance, but all of them will be modern,
beautiful and really honey. Contracting
for houses by the hundred obtains a rock
bottom price.
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1913-05-08
BY D. r. HINCKLEY


These houses are to so to Goodyear
workmen at actual cost: farm land cost
for the lot-and pro rata cost for houses
contracted in 100 lots. The workman sim
ply moves into the house of his choice
and pays the equivalent of rent; the rent.
In this case, applies on the purchase of his
home. In ten years a Goodyear family
man accustomed to paying rent glides into
the ownership of beautiful modern home
almost without knowing 1t certainly
without feeling the cost. Think what 1t
will mean to these fortunate families to
suddenly wake to the realization that
their home is their own.
OF the four hundred and fifty acres of
land purchased, every acre Is available
for the Goodyear family allotment. All
the land will be developed as the demand
srows-and the beautiful hlllsides and
valleys east OF the Goodyear plant will
soon be dotted with homes
IT want every Goodyear workman to
have his own home" says President F. A.
Seiberling, who has personally made the
enormous investment necessary to develop
the allotment plan. II realize that it is
often an uphill struggle for the worker
to obtain a home of his own, especially II
he has rent to pay at the same time. My
plan Is to convert the rent into home
payments-and to provide the homes at
cost. My pay? It's plain matter of
business. Home owners are contented
and make better workmen. The man who
can and will settle down to paying for a
home has more character and ability than
the man without ambition. So the work
man and Company both profit by the
transaction"
The plan as worked out will mean a
saving for men who buy homes that range
from $500 to 5000, according to the size
Of the house. This saving is based upon
regular Akron real estate, prices.

enabled themselves to earn from $3.50 to
$3.50. All these things have contributed
to Akron's unique industrial position. In

Sir Robert early in his career had

eason the supporters Of Sir Robert
are appealing to the people to restore
him to the premiership. especially
since the fisheries dispute which was
responsible for his overthrow in 1908
has now been happily settled.
