PAY IS LOWER In CINCINNATI,
SAY SHOPMEN

Wages in Cincinnati are 10 to 20
cents an hour less than in other cities,
and the efficiency system makes it hard
Tor their members to do the task set BY
employers, the Machinists' Union said
in a statement issued December to
justify the strike.
The machinists offered to submit to
arbitration, which seems to show they
have a justillable cause for this strike, y
the union said.
William Blackman, of the Depart
ment of Labor, and the State Industrial
Commission, have failed to adjust mat
tcrs, and hundreds of machinists are
leaving Cincinnati for other cities" the
union added.
The union asks a forty eight hour
week, running eight and one-half hours
the first five days, and five and onc-half
hours on Saturday, and time and half
pay after regular hours. The same rate
OF pay as at present, and recognition of
an Employees Committee on Grievances
also are asked
Wages locally are on par with those
paid elsewhere, and above par with pre-
miums and bonuses" August II. Teuch.
ter, President of the Cincinnati Biclford
Tool Company" said in reply.
Our efficiency system is based on the
settled fact that all workers are not
equally efficient, and those who do the
most and best work should get the most
money. We are getting away from the
old idea that one man earns as much
as another.
I'VE can prove by the way our shops
are running that few machiniStS have
left the city.
I'VE won't agree to arbitration, be
cause we have nothing to arbitrate'

What Dc Mail Order Houses Do for
You and the Town You Live In?

local paper published in any town in
this country but that can get more
money for advertising and boost
ing" from mail order houses, if it
| would but accept it, than it can get
from all the merchants of the town
in which it is printed? But news
papers realize that a community is
not builded by the money that is sent
out of it.
Try to imagine what would be the
result if this mail order business were
to be pushed to a logical conclusion,
when every merchant was compelled
to &c out Of business through lack OF
local patronage. Suppose you were
unable to buy any article of any kind
or character in your own neighbour
hood, but must send away for every
thing that entered into the daily needs
of your life; where the p%ostoffice was
the only trade mart, the only avenue
through which your wants could be
supplied. How long could you en-
dure such conditions? Remember,
the mail order house pays no taxes
in YOU county, is not Interested in
your social, civic or financial we'll
being, cares nothing for your educa-
tional advantages, the security Of
your property rights, contributes not
a cent to the maintenance Of your
courts Of justice, but are concerned
solely in draining every dollar from
your community and grudgingly re-
turning the least possible value for
what it demands cash in advance.
Every dollar sent to a mail order
house reduces by just that much the
material prosperity of your own hone
town.

OUR PRESIDENT.

The most impressive thing in the United States during the
last few weeks has been the weight and of public
opinion gathering to back the president in his conduct of the
nations foreign affairs Without any sensation noise the
whole mind OF people has set into resolution The protests
of those who not of in this matter like the queaks
of field sounding glacier There
been opinions held in this country regarding
much free expression of those opinions but that diversity
OF feeling and done with The situation not
only rights but also the part hope the United States is
play in establishing justice the basis for conducting
atons between nations and charging freedom for mankind
When the sober depths of realization sounded that what
country to and has been given few
men to the soul of nations thought with the clear
and force and truth that have made Wilson'S
ages page in history The future is predicabe it
certain that in important crisis the President has be-
hind him that ultimate force of free government the known
will of the naton-Collier's.
