False Champions of Labor

Two incidents occurring almost simultaneously
in Ohio just recently emphasize the fact that the Il
quor interests are not only opposed to organized
labor but trying it to further their sell
fish desires These Ohio incidents typical.
license measure was before the Ohio house
which the liquor interests opposed. One Otto Koom-
er, member of the Cincinnati Central Labor Council
and Chas. Staf official of the CINCINNATI
BREWERY WORKERS ASSOCIATION, made
speeches against the measure Mr.. staff made the
statement that Organized Labor in Ohio is Unit
Against Any More Tampering With Liquor Laws.
Both claimed to be speaking for organized labor
in opposition to temperance legislation.
About the same time that they were growing eo-
quent in their solictude for labor locals of the Typo
graphical Union receiving an earnest letter from
the Allied Printing Trades Council of Cincinnati and
vicinity, asking moral support of these locals in
fight to compel breweres and disteres to use union
printed labels their bottles, cases, etc.
This letter gave the names of three large Gin
cnnat bfeWeres and four disleries of the city
and also the names of several Kentucky liquor firms
all OF whom persisted in getting their printing done
in unfair shops. The statement further made
that hundreds of other liquor concerns doing the
same thing. pretty spectacle! While staff OF the
Cincinnati Breweries pleading for labor before
the legislature labor asking for help in the hght
against unfair methods of these same Cincinnati
breweres.
This is fair sample of how the liquor interests
love organized labor. And furthermore let it be re-
membered that there is not drop of union made
whisky put out by any distilery in America.

PRZEMSYL BONDS WITH
LEMBERG THREATENED
Russians Straining Every Nerve to
Relieve Pressure on Most
Vital Line.

London. May 30.-Austrian shells are
falling on the Przemsy yl-Grodek railway
and the CommuniCa tions of the fortress
with LemherS are threatened. according
to the official statement and private dis
patches received tonight from Vienna.
The Russians by tremendous counter
attacks to the north and south are en-
deavoring TO lift this pressure on their
most vital line. But meanwhile Vienna
states. the investing line 10 the north
has been brought forward from both
ends.
The Teutons are striking their blow at
Medyka, directly to the east of Przemsyl
and something less than halfway between
the fortress and Grodek which in turn
Is little more than halfway to Lemburg
To offset this offensive. the Russians are
striking hard blows at the Austro-Ger-
man armies on the San below Sieniawa
and on the lower L.ubaczowkw, above
Jaroslau. and on the left bank OF the
Swica. and the river Lomnica.
In this latter region. in the neighbor-
hood OF Perkyhonsko on Thursday, they
took more than 500 prisoners.
Berlin claims that the Germans have
repulsed a number of violent Russian
assaults in the region of Shawl, and de-
clares that on the Dubissa, while the
Germans were forced to evacuate the
village of Swadynici with a loss Of four
guns they later were re-enforced and
recaptured the position driving the Rus
