CHARACTER

Many people believe that wealth is largely the basis
of credit No mistake could be greater The dollar is
only slightly less the basis of credit than it is the basis
of character.
The fact that character is the basis of credtthe
dollar absolutely secondary.
We have known well-to-do men to whom we
wouldn't loan, and we know many people with very
little property but with lot of character honest in
dustrious, of good judgment, determned-who will
make good in their promise and their business of what
ever kind
Never forget that character counts and that we put
character first.
Perhaps YOU have realized or will some time
that CHARACTER is also the VITAL factor in BANK

RETAIL CLERKS.

The Hamilton Retail Clerks
Union met in the Cycle Club hall
Monday evening. The attendance
was large aud the business was
transacted without delay. Three
applications from the lady clerks
employed in the John Holbrock
store on south Third street were
received and the new applicants
will be initiated at the next meet
ing, March Is. The clerks in the
shoe stores are now we'll organized
and only two ladies and two gentle
men are not members. The or
ganization expects to receive the
application for the remaining four
in few weeks. Thirty stores are
now displaying the store card.
Marcus Goodman who recently
purchased the George Krebs cloth
ing store signed the agreement
Tuesday and will also display the
union store card. After the next

surance company and a representative
of the injured employee.
A report is then made to the full
board. At the board hearing all red
tape is eliminated Any effort on the
part of counsel to befog the issue is
stopped short, there is not even a wit
ness stand, and, briefly. the case is
brought right down to the main point
in dispute.
The injured employee or the in
surance company may appeal from the
decision of the board to the superior
court and so on to the supreme court
but such appeal is rarely taken. and
almost without exception on the few
cases carried up the courts have sus-
tanned the finding of the industrial ac-
cident board.
In Massachusetts. however. the pres
sent rate of insurance averages IL per
cent of the payroll This means that
insured employers pay annually in
Massac chusetts about S3.500,0O to in
surers for compensation protection
based on an estimated payroll of in
sured employers of S340,0Oo,000. The
total payroll for all wage earners in the
commonwealth is estimated at $44O,-
100000 The value Of manufactured
products in the state annually is about
81, 500 734,4 AS. Assuming all these fig.
ures to be correct, rs they are approx
mately, there is a charge of only % 100
Of / cent for the cost of insurance to
the consumer in each dollar of product.
In other words, the consumer pays IL
cents on every s. unit purchased as his
part of the burden" of insurance un-
der the workmens compensation act.
This does not seem an excessive sum
for furnishing just relief to the vic
TINS Of industrial accidents.

as being one OF the most perfect laws
of its kind in existence.
The opinion of man of Judge Oak
ley's experience is worth much. He
has had a wide experience in matters
of this nature, and Is considered to be
one of the best authorities on con-
servation legislation in the United
States.
The manner in which Judge Oakley
became interested in this law may be
of interest to our readers.
When the men who were iastru-
mental in framing the law began real
work they were mindful of the mag
nitude of the task A poor flood pre-
vention law is worse than no law at
all, for at the very time it is needed
II will be found wanting in some re-
spect of vital Importance.
They called Judge Oakley into con.
sultation, and with his help framed
the original draft He then wanted
to take it under further consider alton,
which he did, making a number Of
changes in the original draft.
Even then there was degree of
uncertainty. The experience of ether
states and countries which had suf-
fered from inefficient laws of this
character was recalled, and in order
that the very last word might be had
on the proposed law, it was sent to
John F. Dillon Of New York, a recog-
nized expert on questions of this ma
ture. He kept the draft in his pos
session for almost two months before
he passed judgment on it, and then
he returned it with his o. K
This is the reason that Judge Oak
ley made the statement he did at the
hearing. There is no doubt that in
the Vonderheide food prevention law
Ohio has the very best conservation
law in the United States. Other
states are realizing this more and
more every day. Many will undoubt-
edly put this law on their statute
books within the next few years. for
the necessity for flood legislation is
being felt throughout the country.
The strength of the Vonderheide
law lies in its flexibility. 1t makes 1t
possible for any community TO seek
the kind of flood protection best suit
ed to the conditions. The law does
not attempt to suggest methods; 1t
merely opens the way for construc-
tive work, and in doing this it best
serves its beneficent purposes.

The commission. headed by John
Mitchell, which recently reported the
results of a countrywide Investigation
Of workmens compensation legislation,
credited Massachusetts with having a
good law, which lis given the greatest
possible breadth by the excellent and
humane way in which the commission
in charge administers ii,
The industrial accident board more
over, in a report made lately to the
United States commission on industrial
relations, stated that the law is uni
formly in favor with all the parties
concerned, and that as far as EN-
ployees are concerned, only 1-16 of /
per cent Of them eligible to receive
benefits under the law elected to re-
tain their right of action at common
law. The employers attitude is shown
by the fact that more than so per cent
Of them in Massachusetts have elect
ed to come within the protection of
the workmen's compensation act.
Organized labor and organized capi-
tai seem to have satisfied themselves
that under this act social justice has
been established in behalf Of the vic
Tins Of Industrial accidents. who for
many years were compelled to fight for
every dollar they got and were then
obliged to hand half of every dollar to
an attorney.

tect it against amendment, an inter
view was obtained from A. Deeds,
chairman of the Mani valley flood
prevention committee, as follows:
Immediately following the floods
OF 1913 throughout the state there
was . constructive effort on the part
of a number of men from the districts
which were hit the hardest to find
some means by which future abnor
NAL water flow might be controlled.
Engineers from all over the coun-
try were consulted Men who had
spent their lives in the study of engi-
neering problems were broughs to
Ohio, and at their advice plan for
controlling the water. after it had
reached a certain stage, was adopted.
1t was realized that Ohio needed not
cnly flood protection, but law which
would allow the people to seek this
protection.
"While the Miami valley scheme is
made possible by the Vonderf eide
flood prevention law, it is not part
of it. The law merely makes it possi-
Bile to adopt some sort of plan, and
1t does not dsfins any particular plAa.

per thing; the people have the say
in the end and when they condemn

agree
However | did not start out to
defend the theatres snly so far as
to state that in my judgment they
were deceived as to the nature of
the Krug proposition.
The committee on Pictorial Sou

tographer Webb TO get his work
out SO we can proceed with the

next Sunday afternoon the local
will have a group picture taken in
front of the Court House. All
members take notice.
SO much for the proceedings so
far, the future alone will determine
the success of the enterprise.

is placed around organized labor
by the general public when it comes
TO an endorsement of their position
or sanction of an enterprise in
which it is interested hence we feel
all the prouder that the business
men of Hamilton have SO generous
ly donated to our welfare.
The Chamber of Commerce has
given US the sanction of its mem
bership and will not only entertain
eur General officers that day but
will do anything that it can to
make our celebration a success.
To this organization we extend
the thanks of Local 637 and assure
it we shall at all times be ready to
return the favor should an occasion
ever arise in which an organization
like ours can be of any assistance.
Again thanking all who have so
far SO generously come to our aid
