LABOR UNIONS
AFTER uQUORM men
Declare Workers Will Boost
State Prohibition !,
ROW OVER UNION PRINTING

Auleu rFtnEHn9 traces OF SinSiHHAss
Say Liquor Men Must Use Union
Label at Once or Organized Labor
Of State viii BE Asked to Line Up
for Prohibition Amendment.
Cincinnati, O.-Ohio brewers and
liquor dealers are greatly disturbed
owe what threatens to be a strong
movement towards statewide Proht
bition ON the part of the union labor
forces Of the state. The trouble
started in this city and is likely to
spread to all parts Of the state and.
involve all labor unions in the. wet
and dry contest.
This movement ID being led by the
Typographical Union, the most con-
sentative and influential labor body
in the state. The brewers and liquor
dealers Of Cincinnati have persist
emily refused to patronize union print
ing houses or to use the union label.
Incensed over this continuous refusal.
the typographical union has declared
that it will begin at once q statewide
campaign among the 250.00o union
men Of Ohio for statewide Prohibt-
ton. Speaking Of the action Of the
printers, Frank Bell. secretary and
business agent Of the Printing Trades,
said:
I'VE are going to circularize the en-
tire state in behalf of Prohibition
unless we gain our point at once. We
have been helping these men long
enough. It is our turn now and every
effort will be made to get the union
vote of the state for Prohibition.
There are more than 100000 trades
unionists in Ohio and we feel that
they will be largely with US In the
fight for fairness from the liquor
people"
Arthur Sauer, president Of the
printing trades, was as emphatic as
Bell. We mean to fight" he said,
land this probably means we will be
lined up behind statewide Prohibi.
ton. for we have tolerated this condi-
ton ON the part of the liquor inter
ests long enough"
Former President Harry Dill said:
'There will be no ~parleying with the
liquor people now. 1t is surrender or
statewide Prohibition for u.s."
For a number Of years the Allied
Printing Trades Council has been urg-
ing the brewers and wholesale liquor
dealers to have their work done In
union shops. These liquor interests
ship toms of literature put Of Cincin.
natl each week, but 1t does not bear
the union label as the printing has
been done in non-union shops. The
printing trades now claim they are
justified in declaring war ON the
liquor interests, as those interests
have tried to annihilate them. ~ a
union, in the past.
The fight is not to be localized in
this city, but the Allied Printing
Trades Of the state are to take up
similar fights In other cities Of the
state.
The union does not expect the brew
ers and liquor dealers to capitulate.
and, If they do not, war will be de-
clared. The demand comes at q time
when the liquor men have troubles Of
their own. They win do almost any
thing rather than have organized
labor declare for prohibition. The sit
uation is causing all kinds of worry
in the liquor camp, while the drys are
enjoying the plight Of the vets.

Rivalry Retween countIss.

This plan Of campaigning is produc-
ing some good. natured rivalry. For
example, arrangements are now going
on for a contest between the drys Of
Marion and Hardin counties as to
which will have the biggest majority
for statewide Prohibition. The wager
is a banquet to be given the victors by
the losers.

The Pomona Grange of Knox county
has voted to give a large American
flag to the township or ward in that
county giving the largest per cent Of
votes for statewide Prohibition. There
Is great rivalry between the different
subdivisions, and 1t is safe to say old
Knox will poll a tremendously big dry
vote.

over n above the contract price for
the road construction. Meanwhile,
through the highway department, the
Cox machine scattered throughout the
state more than eighty henchmen to
aid in the work and respond at the
beck and call of the chief.
Citizens of Ohio, and especially own
ers of automobiles and farmers, want
the best roads that can be o n
structed, and are willing to pay for
them. The automobilist must have
lassable roads to operate his machine
and the farmer to get his produce to
market and incidentally enhance the
value of his lands; but how can they
realize or what knowledge do they
have when they step up to the win
dow of the ~treasurer's office in their
county or send their money to the
secretary of state for an auto license,
that a large per cent of the amount
they pay in goes to pay employees OF
the highway department princeiy
salaries, the greater number of whom
do not appear on the regular payroll,
but are concealed in the large sum
of money handled by the department
and paid out on separate vouchers.
They do not know that the state
highway commissioner is appointing,
in their county, inspectors, superin-
tendents, resident engineers and
others for political purposes, and that
they are paying the freiaht," while
the cox machine is getting the benefit
of their influence. They do not know
that while the county pays half the
cost of construction of the roads in
their county the state highway COM
missioner is the sole dictator of how
the roads shall be constructed, who
Is to be employed and how much the
employees are to be paid. The county,
although being a co-partner in the con-
struction of the road, does not have
any representation or any say in it's
| construction.
With the automobile . department
paying into the highway department
more than $500, 900, and the counties
handing more than 100000 over
without the department having TO
even go before the legislature to get
1t appropriated, unlimited funds alb
solutely at the commissioners dis
posal, is it any wonder the department
puts on the state payroll a few inspec-
tors and resident engineers, as polit-
ical exigencies suggest, to boost the
Cox game? These special employees, it
should be borne in mind, are paid on
separate vouchers, instead of on the
regular payroll, while the public think
they are paid out of the amount the
contractor gets for the real construc
| ton.
To bolster up the machine an e1ab-
crate magazine, with costly illustra
tons, funny cartoons and fancy type
printed on highly calendared paper
with a wonderful cover of many colors
and pictures, is printed monthly AMI
the taxpayers foot the bill of $4,000
annually from the road construction
fund for the publication of this free
magazine, issued at the rate of 0,O0(
per month. 1t vas in protest against
this extravaganza against the polit
ical methods of the Cox machine, in
connection with the highway depart
ment, that led to the good roads plank
in the Republican platform.

 WASHINGTON. Feb. Tiff the m, mhcrs of congress have any idea tl:ut they can delay and flibuster with the Alaska railroad bill they will find themselves very much mistaken. I'resi- dent Wilson has before shown that h.' knows how to get action on the leg islntion which goes up to the capitol w ith ihe sign of his approval and al ready he is evincing signs of impa- tienre over the delays in the passage e. the Alnska hill.
 The president told callers today that he was very desirons of having the Alaska bili p,ssed as ooon Hs possIblc In order that these might he no delay iE the executive departments in getting the work on the railroad started and in organizing the corps of engineers who would have the building in charge. He intimated that he was not pleased with the actions of some of the demo-
 
 to delay the bill in the house or In attempting to insert amendments in the bill as it now stands and 1t is believed that Mir. Wilson will see tha some pressure is brought to bear on the men who are responsible for tho present holdmp of the measure.
 Undoubtedly if there seems [" be any Ianr.. of cont inued discussing of the l,ili in tlr house or any attempt to $, rio,isly alter the measure the prcsI- cent will again 20 to tho capitol in the interest of Alaska and tell the leg islators what he thinks of their meth nds.
