Strike Still On In
the Sorg Paper Co.

Middletown, Ohio Jan. 26, 1915.
THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS:
To the Editor:
The boys of the I. B. P. M. are
still out on strike in the Sorg Mile
No new scabs have accepted en-
ployment worth mentioning In
fact none of their names are worth
mentioning. } There is one that
has got job there by the name of
O'Donnel, an Insurance agent from
the we'll represented town, namely
Franklin, Ohio. He represented
the Continental, West Chester, and
Aetna Insurance Companys, but of
course the reason he is scabbing,
he says, his reputation is at stake,
some salve.
Too much can not be said for the
members of the Amalgamated Iron
Workers Union, they have GER
tainly helped the organization to a
great extent, and we feel very
grateful to them, and hope to re-
pay them some time in the near
future if possible, which we hope
it may be.
The |. A. I. S. E. boys have
showed their union spirit by letting
us have the use of their hall free
of charge since the strike has been
on, thanks TO them.
One brother James McClesky
former machine tender in the Sorg
Mil has commenced suit against
the company for $175 for producing
paper ever the normal amount ex-
pected of the machine he operated
he has contract with the company
which says he shall receive 10
cents for every 100 pounds of paper
produced over the normal amount,
he has retained M. o. Burns for
his attorney.
There is a rumor afoat here
about local moving picture thea.
ire, having some difficulties with
the I. A. T. S. E. Union, am not
quite sure of the fact. But if there
Is, let all union men stay away
from that theatre, its name shall
be published later. One of eur
most active union men Frank Boyle
has accepted position as Insurance
Agent, and is making good selling
accident insurance.

unemployment and remedies there
for
We find that mauy hundreds of
our industries and worthy fellow
citizens are in distress because of
lack of ability to secure employ
ment. BY the cooperation of
county and city authorities with
the civic agencies one important
step has been taken to relieve this
situation Ly providing public en-
pleyment ip the restoration of the
Crawford's Run sewer. This will
afford a considerable measure of re-
lief but of itself Is not enough.
The co operation of each indi-
vidual citizen is required, and this

Enemy of England.

sPcts1N NeVsN ophs " - =
LONDON, Oct 1.-THE formal decision
of Greece to remain neutral for the
present has caused much disappointment
in England. Many political comnenta-
tors hold that Greece has by this deci-
sion yiolated her treaty with Serbia and
should be treated as an enemy OF Great
Britain.
The Morning Post says in this con-
nection:
III she refuses to fight on ~ side
she is In fact against us and In that case
It remains for the navies OF the Entente
to treat Greece as an enemy. The
blockade Of the Greek coast n the
seizure Of all Greek shipping and Greek
stands Is the logical reply to the re-
fusal of Greece to assist Serbia"
