CONEY ISLAND

Coney Island certainly has been
elected by great vote to first place
in the hearts of the people of Gin
cinnati and all around about for
many miles. The records of the
season prove this conclusively.

Island Queen and Princess has its
crowds. The basket picnickers
have been coming on the two morn

find the Island with its 1908 trees,

that appeals as the best in this Sec

A Sympathetic Soul.

The American trade union was
born with sympthetic soul. Her
ears is turned to catch the wbis
pering- walls of oppression. Her
tongue has always denounced the
wrong and upheld the right. Her
hands have always been lifting
men to higher and better life by
shortening their hours Of toll, in
creasing their rate of pay and inn
proving their environments in gen
eral; If she has erred it has been
Oh the side of mercy and humanity
for, as an organization, she has al
ways marched forward, only de
manding the God given and con-
stitutional rights of the American
workmen, seeking to arouse them
to sense of their rights as citizens
of great republic, and through
organization establish their liberty.
She has never thrown down the
gauntlet to any one, and only stood
by demanding the rights of free
men under a free flag. If this is
un-American | pause for some one
to show me where and why.

Women In Iron Industries.

New York. Juue 25. The sun
makes editorial comment on the
statement of j. c. Butler, jr., pre-,
sident of the Bessemer Pig Iron
association, that ''it would not be
surprising to find thousands of
women in mills, blast furnaces, and
doing the work of men before the
war is over"
The Sun is not startled at the
suggestion, for with babelike inno-
cenee 1t asks this question:
''Yet is the work which they
might be called on to do in the mills
mines aud blast furnaces really
harder than the back breaking oc-
cupation of floor scrubbipg, which
is cheerfully RENTED to them, or
more trying than the farm labor
that thousands of women perform
year in and wear out :?
Despite this cleverly worded de-
tense of women in mines and steel
infernos, the editor is awake to the
power of labor unions in resisting
the proposal, for he warns advo,

repeal would necessitate campaign
highly expensive and requiring for
its successful issue, assuming the
existance of economic conditions
that made such repeal possible, a
period of time that might easily
exceed the span of the shortage of
male workers which Mr.. Butler
believes is to ensue.
These conditions, which the edi-
tor believes are insurmountable,
forces him to this conclusion:
"A feminine excursion into the
mines and blast furnaces is as i'm
probable as it would be undesir-
able"

Lawson Case Is Discussed.

San Francisco, June 25.-The
Evening Bulletin makes this COM
ment on the Lawson verdict:
'Granby Hillyer, judge of the
specially-created court which tried
Lawson, went TO The bench directly
from the employ of Lawson S bitter
enemies, the coal companies. AS
coal company attorney he had
helped TO manufacture cases against
some of the indicted miners The
Jury which he allowed to serve in
tie Lawson case consisted of coal
company retainers hand picked by
a coal ympany sheriff
"No one said that Lawson killed
anybody. He was charged with
murder because he was head of the
miners union and because, in a
clash between the miners and the
mine guards, guard named John
Nimno had been killed by bullet
from some miners rifle. If the
miners. instead of the mine owners,
had been in control of the legel ma
chinery of Las Animas county, the
head of the coal companies, or even
the Rockefellers, might have been
indicted and the case would have
been no more absurd.
eleven members of the Lawson
Jury wanted him hanged. He was
let off with life Imprisonment be-
cause one juryman gagged at the
death penalty.
UNLESS the high courts inter
vene, Lawson and his companions
who are most unpopular with the
coal companies will spend the rest
of their lives in prison. The IN
huence of this raw capitallstic an
archy in sweetening the relations
of capital and labor the country
over may be left to the lmaglna'
ton.

THE citizens behind the move to

proper time to start the ball a roll

few citizens want the commission

any need of the commission form

that Sam is not the fellow that

he is not very popular with the

a goodman when it comes to busi-

Machinisis and Nail Makers
Strike.

A statement of the strike at the
Capewell Horse Nail Co., from the
Joint Executive committee of the
Machinists and Nail Makers.
The strike of the Machinists,
Repairmen and Nail Makers Un-
ions which was declared in the
plant of the Capewell Co.. on Sat
urday morning, May 29th, was the
outcome of a year and half con.
tinuous effort TO obtain an increase
in wages that would bring the
wages paid by the Capewell com
pany nearer to the wage standard
existing in the other horse nail
plants in this country.
This proposed increase in wages
is considered absolutely fair, be
cause the wages asked were already
paid by The other horse nail plants
in this country, and because of the
fact that -withstanding the I'M
mense increase in the cost of living
which has been advancing in leaps
and bounds, the wages of the Ma
chinists, Repairmen and Nail Max
ers employed by the Capewell com
pany have remained the same for
the last ten years, except in few
instances.
The Machinists and Repairmen
asked for an increase in wages of
ten per cent, aud the Nail Makers
asked that they be given an increase
of twenty FIVE cents per day, which
increase, if granted, would then be
the lowest rate of wages paid in
this country. In May, 1914, when
the Capewell Company were asked
to grant this increase, the company
stated that as they were operating
under the eight hour day, we
should GO out and get the other
nail plants on the same basis, be.
fore they would grant any increase
in wages. We agreed that it was
fair proposition and withdrew
our demands at that time and ap'
piled ourselves to the task of bring
ing that condition about. We
were successful, and since Novem-
Der, 1914, all nail plants have been
working the eight hour day.
Having removed the objection OF
the Capewell company, we felt con
hdent that in renewing our request
for an increase in wages, il would
be granted Immediately. But i'm
agine our surprise when we were
told by the Capewell company that
no matet what wages were paid by
their competitors, they would not
grant any increase in wages. That
is the reason for the strike, as there
was nothing else to do, every effort
having been made to reach an am
cable settlement and every propo-
sition presented by the men being
fatty refused by the Capewell com
pany.
The International Association of
Machinists, and the Federal Unions
expect the moral support of the
members of the International Horse
Shoers' Union in this fight.
The strike has the endorsement
of the American Federation of La
Dor and the International Associa-
ton of Machinists.
Fraternally yours,

FOURTEEN unions reported that
they are in favor of Labor DaG
parade and an all day celebration.
That means that we are going to
have more favorable reports from
the unions who are willing and
ready to make the day success.
The Labor Day parade and cele-
bration should continue and 10 un-

man, will get in the band wagon
and help the committee in its work.

REJECTION OF REPORT OF JUDICIARY
 COMMITTEE WOULD NOT BE SURPRISE

Montgomery, July 17.--(Special) play very little surprise were the re- port and recommendations of the re- cess committee on judiciary be reject ed; very little surprise were the rec ommendation of the recess committee on investigation respecting the aboli- tion of the convict lease system, be adversed by the house committee on penitentiary and prison administra- ton.
 The recess committee on judiciary, IS Is generally known, spent several months during the summer in prepar ing bills under the provisions of which the court system of Alabama could be remodeled, revised and, according to the members of the committee, i'm proved and mode rnized. Even If be- neficent, the reformation proposed Is radical and revolutionary, and there is forming thoughout Alabama at the present time an organization which will spend the remainder of the sum mer in Montgomery-for the express purpose of nullifying the work of the committee.
 The feature of the report of the in vestigation committee was its recom- mendation that the convict bureau be remodeled so as to include the depart mepts now presided over by the state prison inspector and the state highway commissioner and that the convict
