Strike Still On At
middletoWn,

The Paper Makers strike is still
on at the Paul A. Sorg Paper COM
papys' mill in Middletown, the
men being out since November 3,
fer the reinstatement of two of the
local officers who were discharged
without notice October 80.
The company has gathered to-
gether few ex-papermakers from
Franklin and Miamisburg who un-
der ordinary conditions could not
get job at the trade and are try
ing to operate their plant with THAI
kind of help. Evidently the com
pany has partly come to the con-
clusion that in order to induce men
to sell their manhood and become
strikebreakers some extra induce
ments must be offered, or was 1t to
create public sympathy in favor OF
the unfair and un- American tactics
used by their superintendent that
this company gave their strike
breakers each Turkey for Christ.
mas. 1t is worthy of note that this
is the first time in the memory OF
the old employers that present
has been given to the employers
for Christmas. In fact not SO much
as a wish for a Merry Christmas
has ever been given heretofore.
Curses and abuse is all that has
ever been given free to the mer
who faithfully served the Sorg Pa
per company before they rebelleo
against such treatment and who
are still satisfied to accept tall
deal and buy their own turkey.
If this company had paid theil
present employees all that justly be
longed to them. Why donate The
turkey? Union men do not ash
or desire Christmas presents from
the employer believing that pre-
sents should only be exchanged
between very dear friends and wh'
can imagine one dear friend work
ing another II or Ii hours a da,
6 nights a week when he enl,
works his horses and mules
hours. That is the kind of friend
ship that existed between the blacl
slave and his master before tn
war. We want none of it.

From a safe distance on the bank
OF the Smiling Pool the little peo-
pie OF the Green Meadows and the
Green Forest had watched the Red
Terror in the Old Pasture. and a
great fear had filled every heart and
had drawn all together. Reddy Fox
had no desire TO harm Danny Mead
ow Mouse and Danny knew 1t and
sat right at Reddy's feet Old Man
Coyote had not thought OF touching
Peter Rabbit and Peter knew 1t and
hoped about excitedly right In
front OF Old Man Coyote. II was
just the same way with all the little
people Fear OF one another was
wholly forgotten In the greater and
common fear of the Red Terror.
So they watched Farmer Brown
and Farmer Browns Boy and other
men lighting the Red Terror and
hoped with a great hope that they
would he able TO beat II out before
II should reach the Green Forest.
They saw the FIRE sweep on and on
toward the Green Forest, and their
hearts sank. for II the Red Terror
should destroy the Green Forest as
IL was destroying the Old Pasture
many OF them would be homeless,
and then what should they do?
Where could they go?
The Red Terror had almost
reached the edge OF the Green For
est when they saw Old Mother West
Wind hurrying as fast as ever she
could. They watched her blow with
all her might. and they saw that
she was blowing the Red Terror
back They heard the ugly growl
and snarl OF the Red Terror as II
vainly tried TO reach the Green For
est. and then they saw It sullenly
and slowly retreat into the black
ened and smoking Old Pasture. and
they knew that Old Mother West
Wind had saved the Green Forest.
Then. as the way with most OF US.
the moment they knew that there
was nothing more TO fear from the
Red Terror they straightway forgot
their great fright and began to think
OF other things
81 believe I'm hungry" said Red
dy Fox, and looked at Danny Mead
ow Mouse with such longing In his
ey es that Danny suddenly felt a
cold chill
There comes a rain cloud, That
will make an end OF the Red Ter
rort" cried Danny.
Reddy looked up in the sky. Sure
enough, there was a black rain cloud
being hurried along by some OF the
Merry Little Breezes. When he
looked down again Danny Meadow
Mouse was nowhere 10 be seen.
Peter Rabbit, happening TO look
at Old Man Coyote. saw Old Man
Coyotes mouth water. and suddenly
decided that It was high time that
he and little Mrs. Peter were back
IN the dear Old Brier Patch.
There comes Farmer Brown
That means that there is nothing
more 10 fear from the Red Terror"
cried Peter.
Old Man Coyote turned 10 look
toward the Old Pasture. Sure
enough Farmer Brown and the men
with him were coming. leaving only
Farmer Browns Boy to keep watch
Peter was right: there0was nothing
more TO fear from the Red Terror.
Il believe couM eat fat rab-
bit muttered Old Man Coyote TO
himself and turned 20 look for Pet
