Road Show
at Grand Theatre

The Grand opens with first Hippo.
drome road show tomorrow and will be
continued every Sunday. This includes
the entirie show of six big acts and
special motion picture plays. The show
for this week has been reviewed by
Manager Bligh and is reported excep
tionally good. Courtney and jeanette
open the show with a line of comedy
Juggling. Four Old Veterans is an act
that appeals to everyone, being made
up of four real civil war veterans rang
ing in age from 81 to IS. They play sew
eral old time tunes on different instru-
ments AMI in Portland they stopped the
show with their closing number, when
they requested the audience to stand
sing with htem they were met with a
great response and the show could not
go on for several minutes. George S
Corriell comes next with some very
pleasing and catchy melodies, and clos
ing his act with modern dancing num-
ber with one of the old veterans who
is 90 years old. The Rialto Four class
ed as singers de Lux are very good and
cello number played by one of the
artists, adds great tone to the act Fos-
ter & Lovett in Who's Who are reg
ular scream and surprise from start
to finish The last act of this splen-
did show is "The Sweeney Girls and
Newton" in dainty diversions of gym
nastics, this act is absolutely different

of vaudeville that has been seen on
the Hippodrome circuit for some time.

ACTOR MISTAKEN FOR JAP

When William Tedmarsh, the famous
character actor, stepped onto the pier
of the United States naval base at San
Pedro he was taken into custody by a.
sentry and hustled before the com /
manding officer without being given a.
chance to explain his identity.
He was "made up" as Satsuma, the
japanese spy, in "The secret of the
Submarine the big film novel, one
chapter Of which is shown weekly at
the Bligh theatre commencing next
Tuesday Oct. 10. Mr. Tedmarsh eventu,
ally explained he meant no harm and
was promptly released with the admo-
milton from the commander to go
"easy' while masquerading as a Jap.
In these days of national uncertain
ty especial precautions are taken to
forestall anyone prying into the de,
tails of equipment and personnel of
our regular forces. Mr.. Tedmarsh ar
rived at the pier ahead of the other
members of the company and thought
to while away the time by examining
some ordnance being mounted ON the
U. S. S. Farragut.

WE ARE sorry to tear that some
person or persons have started re-
port 0 the effect that the machin-
lists are going on strike April 1st.
We want to inform these merchants
that there is no truth in this report
at this time 1t is not likely that
the machirists will go on strike on
the above date, if the manufactur-
eTs keep the promise they made
some few weeks ago. The manu-
facturers can not stand another
strike, the union men do not want
to strike unless it is absolutely nee
essary. 1t will not be necessary to
strike II the promises made, are
made good. We hope for the good
of all that there will be no back

mains that the agitation of the la
Dor unions in all other factories
had its effect and finally drifted to
the Champion Coated Paper Com
pauy. 1t is hardly possible that
the ov r worked men in that plant
will ever realize that ORGANIZED
LABOR and them alone secured the
announcement of an eight hour day
in that mill and no one else. The
granting of the eight hour day in
Kalamazoo recently, also had its
effect on Hamilton, and perhaps
this is another reason for Mr..
Thomson granting the popular con-
cession to his people It's all 0.

THE granting of the eight hour
day to the employees of the Cham
pion mill was a little startling but
no surprise to the PRESS. We have
long ago predicted that if business
was to resume, the mills working
the long hours could not hold their
men. This has proven true in this
city, because many of the paper
makers who worked at the Cham
pion Coated Paper Company, have
left the city and are working in
mills that are working on the eight
hour basis. The men in the Cham
pioD mill are not organized as they.
are in other parts of the untry,

WORLD OF LABOR

Virginia Trade unionists are urg
ing the State Legislature to favor
the following legislation: Amend
ments to child labor laws, against
convict labor, eight hour law for
women and children inspection of
barber-shops, boiler inspection,
workmen s compensation and sheds
to protect car builders from rain
and snow.
Legislation providing that the
supervision of Massachusetts State
employment agencies be taken from
the bureau of statistics and given
to the State Board of Labor and
Industries was favored by trade un-
ion representatives and opposed by
private agencies before a commit
tee OF the State legislature. Chas.
f. Gettamy, director of the bureau
Joined with the unionists, who, to-
gether with State officials, told of
the abuse of the fee system by these
private agencies. Representatives
of the latter charged that this leg
lslation, while seemingly innocent,
was part of organized labor s
scheme to put them out of busi-
ness.
A general strike of workers en-
ployed on the construction of the
Government railroad between An
chorage and the Matanuska coal
helds IN Alaska has been called ac-
cording to advices received at Seat
tie from Seward, the headquarters
of the Alaska Engineering Com
mission. Dispatches filed at Seward
stated that a mass meeting of 1900
laborers at Anchorage, the princi-
pal construction camp, organized
Federal labor union, with an en-
rolled membership of 900, and i'm
mediately issued the strike call.
The men demanded an increase in
the wages of common laborers to
5O cents an hour. The minimum
provided in the wage scale issued
by the Government was 35 cents
an hour, and men on track laying
gangs were receiving 371a cents
an hour.

Champion Mill Finally De-
cides to Give Men
Eight Hours.

Peter G. Thomson, President of
the Champion Coated Paper Com
pany, announced Wednesday that
the big mills would be placed on
the eight hour basis. Mr.. Thorn
SOD stotes that as soon as the nee
essary men can be secured the
change will be made in a few weeks.
He decided to give the employees
the eight hour day after carefully
going over the situation aud found
himself in position to make the
announcement. 1t will be remem-
bered that some few years back the
Champion Coated Paper Company
was thoroughly organized from a
union standpoint and after a strike
which was of short duration the
men were granted the eight hours.
At that time Mr. Thomson told the
men that his word was as good as
his bond and that it was not nee
essaTy TO sign an agreement. In
less than year the change was
again mede back to the long eleven
and thirteen hours. The PRESS is
pleased to bear that the mills will
go on the eight hour basis the same
as the mills in Kalamazoo and all
over the east. We hope that Mr..
Thomson will do the right thing
by giving every man and woman in
the whole concern the same. The
granting of the eight hour day
means much to the people employed
at the Champion and it will have
tendency to keep men in Hamilton,
instead of going to towns where
the eight hour day has long been
in effect.

early, lights the FIRE, boils an egg,

with his boots while many a mother
is sleeping He makes the weekly

little pile is badly worn before he
has been home an hour.

night dad is kicked in the back

the burglar and kill him. Mother
darns the sox, but dad bought the
sox in the first place, and the
needles and the warn afterward.
Mother does up the fruit; we'll, dad
bought it all, and jars and sugar

a Story of Old Ironsides.

One OF the most famous of the Con.
stitutions exploits was during the wal
of 1912, when she escaped from
Broke's squadron, among which she
had accidentally fallen. The sea was
almost dead calm, so Captain HUI
had TO resort to towing All her boats
were lowered with long lines attached
and in addition Hull had ropes spliced
together to make line half mile
long, TO which he attached a kedge an
lchor. This was carried in q boat halt
IA mile ahead and dropped, when the
crew hauled the ship rapidly forward

other was compelled to fight about a
pinch of snuff. General Barry was
challenged by Captain Smith for de-
clining wine at dinner on a steam
boat. although the general pleaded as
an excuse that wine invariably made
him sick, and Lieutenant Cowther lost
his life in a duel because he was re-

that the eating was from the cob and
the other contending that the grain
should be cut off from the cob before

lost his right arm, the ball from his
antagonists pistol shattering the limb

THE granting of the eight hour
day BY the paper mills of Kalama
zoo, Michigan is certainly grand
victory for the paper makers OF
that city. We must extend to them
our hearty congratulations for the
splendid victory they have won for
themselves and their families. The
reason we congratulate them is be-
cause they have withstood the finn
sy offers of the mill owners to break
the ranks of the Paper Makers
Union. Unlike the paper makers
of Hamilton they did not forget
their union obligation when they
were thrown the bait of little in
crease in wages and a new bonus
system that is practically nothing
compared with the eight hour day.
They stood the gaf cut never
wavered from tn. goal they were
headed for.
1t has not been so many months
ago that the paper makers of this
city were organized, (yes aud by
that same man Smith that put it
over in Kalamazoo and everything
was going olong smoothly, so
smoothly that one of the main
screws informed he men that they
had no objections to the men join
ing the union When father re-
turned il was a different story and
he vigorously and most emphati.
callY informed the men that there
was nothing doing and the balloon
went up. But it didn't go up un-
til a few weak kneed SWITCHES for
got their obligation for purpose
of course and then did everything
they could to take the eight hour
idea out of the men, IN which they
were successful. The customary
bait of a small increase and he
root hog or die system" was
placed into p-ration and for time
the men were again pleased. So
far so good, bat the time has come
when the eight hour rumbling will
again be heard.
The paper makers in the great
Miami Valley have long ago
agreed among themselves that tney
are working too many honrs, but
somehow they haven't got the
right kind Of sand in their craws
to digest that anion obligation.
One of the faults of the local paper
makers is, that they allow a few
biather skiets to infest their organ

Cement Mill Workers Union,
No. I45OI.
Mitchell, Indiana.
To Organized Labor.


At the Seattle Convention of the
American Federation of Labor the
delegate of the Cement Mill Work
ers, Of Mitchell, Indiana, presented
resolution urging the unionizing
OF the Cement Manufacturing in
dustry.
When the Cement Manufacturers
learned of the activities of the
Cement Mill Workers, the entire
union force of the Lehigh Portland
Cement Company, at Mitchell, Ind.
were locked CIT and are still locked
out. All the tactics that a power
full corporation can use to crush the
spirit of the workers were used
against the locked out employees a.
Mitchell. Indiana.
Riots were created wherein men
lost their lives. Sluggers and gun
men employed to intimidate and
browbeat the union members.
Bribery, open brazen and vicious
in the extreme was resorted to and
scores of our men jailed, prosecuted
and prosecuted, but the spirit of
unionism was so well imbeded in
the minds and hearts of the union
men that they are just as determin-
ed now as they were at any time
in the past to assert themselves and
secure the right of association, or
gsnization. collective bargaining
and some measure of justice at the
hands of the employers.
Pricr to the lockout, the Lehigh
Portland Cement plant at Mitchell,
Indian, was perated upon twelve
hour day basis, with large part
of the working force working seven
days per week. The wages under
these condition was one dollar and
fifty cents per day.
The Mitchell, Indiana, Tribune
In trying to induce new industries
to locate in Mitchell, held cut this
allurirg advantage:
"In Mitchell We Have the Cheapes st
Labor This Side Of Cnina.p
Recently the Cement Mill Work
ers started an agitation to induce
fellow trade unienists who use ce-
ment to give preference to cement
manufacturers VINO are friendly to
labor unions and TO refuse to use
cement manufactured by the ene-
mics of organized labor.
This agitation made the Lehigh
Portland Cement Co, sit up and in
order to Offset its effect the Lehiyh
Company established the eight
hour day in their plant and made
the minimum rate of wages fer
eight hours, one dollar and seventy
cents. We regard this move on
the part of the company only as
delusion and snare and is only done
to make cement users think that
the company is fair to organized
labor but it is only another trick of
the company to deceive the Public
The Lehigh Portland Cement
Company plant at Mitchell, Ind,
is absolutely non union and the
company is the avowed enemy of
union labor.
Union men are not compelled to
patronize their enemies but we are
duty bound to stick to our friends.
