shorter workday is a good business
proposition is the view expressed
oy the manager of the Miller Bro
Tiers Manufacturing company to
representatives of organized labor
in this city.
We are now working forty eight
hours per week in our factory"
said the employer. '"The wage
scale has been raised until the girls
working in our factory average
about So per week, while some of
them make as high as $40 per
week. Under union conditions,
with shorter working hours and
increased pay, we have been able
to produce more from each machine
than we were producing a few
years ago. These facts should
speak for themselves. With better
pay and shorter working hours the
employees feel mere interested in
their work and give it their whole
attention, instead of dragging thru
the hours of the day.

UNCLE SANS NAVAL EXPERT.
One Who Does Nothing but Play With
Toy BattIeships.

IVY
In long, low building down near the
river in Washington there is man
who plays with toy ships on a toy
ocean. And as result of his play he
can foretell exactly how the big battle
ships of the United States navy will
behave in storm ut sea, and he can
predict TO nicely how much horse
power will be needed to drive the
great transatlantic liners laden with
their passengers and freight He does
this before even the keels of the ships
have been laid down.
He is a naval constructor in the
United States navy. and the toy ocean
OH which he works is the United States
experimental model basin The sheet
Of water in the basin is 500 feet long
and fifty feet wide. with maximum
depth OF fourteen feet
But in this limited space the naval
expert, working with wave maker,
dynamometer, a towing bridge and
other apparatus. can solve all the me-
chanica problems connected with the
construction of ship, it's probable
roll when struck by giant waves and
the horsepower needed in its tremen-
dous engines to drive it through the
water. He works with wooden models
twenty feet long. Some of them weigh
1000 pounds. none of them more than
1000. The other countries of the
world use paraffine models, but he
works entirely with the miniature
ships of wood.
The drawings and plans of the bat
tleships to be built by Uncle Sam are
turned over to the constructor by the
navy departments bureau of construc-
tion and repair. In little shop adj
joining the building which covers the
model basin the models are made and
painted Bags of shot. each weighing
twenty-five pounds. are kept on hand
to bring the model up TO the CORE
spending weight of the big ship. The
final tests are made in the "toy ocean,
near by.-Popular Magazine.

BEGINNING with this issue of the

dorsement of the United Trades

Ohio. The endorsement cf the
PRESS as the official organ of the
Dayton labor unions comes unsol-
icited and with spirit that means
much to both, the trades unionists
OF that city and alse TO the trades
unienists in the entire Third Con
gressional district. The manage
ment of the Nonpareil Printing
Company, publishers of the PRESS
wishes to extend their hearty
thanks for the endorsemer and in
return will always try to make this
paper worthy of the same. The
PRESS in its small and meager way
was launched fourteen years ago
by the present management. Its
only mission was to herald the
cause of true trade unionism, in
dependent of politics aud with the
increasing support of the labor un-
ions and it's members to guide us.
