union, acting under orders of the
convention, held in Milwaukee,
last September.
The bake shop will be held in
readiness at Chicago, to be shipped
where trouble with employers may
occur, and will enable these union
lists to turn out 5000 loaves of un-
ion-made bread in eight hours, or
15, 900 loaves in three eight hour
shifts per day. The plan involves
an expenditure of SIS, 900, and bak-

supply the denand for union-made

purpose of perfecting an organizing
campaign. The carpenters execu-
tive urged thorough organization
and declared that this city's wage
scale Is lower than several hundred
smaller cities, where the minimum
Is SO cents, while Baltimore work
ers receive 43H cents. President
Kirby referred to conditions Sc
cured in Philadelphia, through un-
ionism. There the carpenters have
secured two-year agreement with
practically all the general contrac-
tors to conduct union shops and to
engage all carpenters through the
medium of the Philadelphia dis
trict council. The agreement is to
become effective May l, and the
carpenters have reduced their init
alton fee to 81. The gains have
resulted in large additions to the
membership rolls of the Quaker
city unions.

eat, may educate his children and
may set aside something for old
age. Industrial conditions will
never be permanently settled until
we get on that basis.
In urging the adoption of the
ordinance, President Smith of the
Central Labor Council said:
1T Is strange that when an EN-
ployer cuts the wages of the men
working for him that it is called
business but when these same
men come to the employer and ask
for better wages and conditions it
is called sentiment, and very often
If the requests are granted the ac-
tion is heralded to the world as
philanthropy"
The new ordinance provides that
the city's scale of wages shall
be the standard for laborers on
public work under contract.

Carpenters
Anniversary.

In our two previous articles re-
ferring to our celebration, the first
one was intended as a notice that
the anniversary celebration was
under consideration and would in
all probability be carried through,
and it took the general public into
our confidence and hoped they (the
public would think as we'll of us
as they could according to the
weakness of the flesh. We are a
part of this community vitally in
terested in all It's undertakings, re-
joicing with it in success and dis
appointed over its failures. Hence
we are of the opinion that the best
citizenship is he who will sacrifice
himself that success may be as
sured. We are not of the opinion
as was Commodore Decature when
in 1919 at Norfolk, Va, he said
"Our country right or wrong.
Just new this question is matter
of large Importance. Our govern
ment has lot of big questions be-
fore it, national and international,
which will require much careful
thought, thoroughness, patience,
and real patriotism in their proper
settlement. Mere garrulous lingo
ism will not do.
What is true of a nation in a
crisis is true of city in crisis on
ly perhaps in smaller way, it be-
hooves us all to grasp the wars and
help propell the bark into smooth
waters.
However this is getting away
from our subject, yet in way it is
not, for our success is only assured
by the aid and consideration of the
public and the success of the pub
lie is assured only when all atoms
of its society work together.
The second article was thankey
to all who had given us their un-
stinted aid
In this article we wish to refer to
the Pictorial Souvenir which we
hope to perfect. Our desire IS to
make it one that all will wish to
preserve as a memente of the cele-
bration but fer its neatness and It's
worth as such.
Our aim In the beginning was to
have ii printed on paper made In
Hamilton, but the fiat threw. down
we received from our tive principal
paper mills compelled us to change
our plans. 1t was suggested that
it was a matter of pride with US tc
have our souvenir book printed or
made in Hamilton" paper. We
considered it to be somewhat OF {
duty we owed to our home commu
nifty to uphold its institutions ane
its industries and this throw dowr
coming as it did when we know
they had aided other like condition:
gave us q chill down Our spine
But we will succeed without then

Mr.. Chas. Vaughn.
Hamilton Ohio,
Friend Vaughn:
Just line TO let you know /
have not forgotten you or the
bunch in Hamilton, and thought
maybe you would like to hear from
the great Scab Center of the world
(Detroit) for they certainly do turn
them out here, especially Nut
Splitters" they seem to grow on
trees almost every one you meet
will say, Il am a machinist" aud
when you ask him where he works
he will reply, In one Of the auto
mobile factories and when you ask
him, what he does, then you have
him, as he is specializing on some
kind of work, and when you take
him off that job he would not be
able to do any thing else, and yet
he is a machinists. Of all who
work at the trade here there are
about 800 organized.
Pete Conlon, Vice President Of
the Machinists is here at the pre-
sent time trying to line some of
them up but is meeting with poor
success, SO does every one who
tries to do anything with any of
the Metal Trades, however, the
Polishers are fairly we'll organized.

besides he is now trying to fill his
factory with eX- convicts from all
parts of the country who are pa
rolled to him. So you see there
will be no chance to organize such
men, he might think he is doing
something for humanity, but if
you could see the bread line at the
city hall every morning, and 80
per cent of those in line American
born, you would wonder about such
