DON'T GET PEEVISH.

Do you think that the man whom
y0S, work for wants you to fail? Is
1t Reasonable that he would permit
the creAn of the organization from
rising to " top? The man who en-
ploys you is><s business for success,
and not just ~ of sentiment. He
cannot succeed uISSss his organiza-
tion is working with$Sn.
If you are not gettfES good nav
just take an unbiased, upSe6sh look
at the situation. Assume, 1s~ the
sake of getting at the facts, that y>,,
are the boss. Then go out in the
plant, in the store, in the office, and
find some man who draws pay equal
in amount to that in your own en-
velope. Watch what he does. Study
what you think he is actually worth
to the concern for you are the boss
now. You will probably find that
this man is drawing pretty good pay
for the work he does. Then COM
pare the results this man gets with
the results you get. If you are act
ually doing more than he in the way
of making money for the boss, don't
get excited over the fact but manange
in some way to let the real boss know
it.
Most men who feel that they are
earning more than they get, get ex-
cited, get sore, get peevish, This is
no time to get peevish. This is the
time to get more pay, and you can
not get more pay by misusing the
boss.

THE U. S. EAGLE.

Young people wonder how it hap
pened that the eagle with outspread
wings was taken as the emblem of
the United States. This bird is really
the bald eagle, and it received the
honor of being our national bird in
1855, when it was displayed as the
emblem of the new American Re
public.
Many prominent men at the time
did not approve of the choice. For
example, Benjamin Franklin declared
that the bald eagle was the most evil
disposed bird in the land, and that it
did not earn an honest living, but Sc
cured its livelihood through violence,
deceit and treachery He suggested
the wild turkey as the most appro-
pirate for the nations emblem, since
it was more distinctly American.
Franklin's criticism, while it de-
layed matters considerably, did not
prevent the eagle from being chosen.
Others considered that this bird was
one of the greatest possible dignity,
as well as beauty and bravery, and
they especially desired it to be our
national bird and emblem because of
its very strong attachment to it's
home and young. In this way they
hoped to be able to make the colonies
stand together, should anything come
later to trouble them or cause any
one of them to falter..

WHERE ALL CAN HELP.

Organized labor does such a world
of good work that every toiler ought
to be ashamed to remain outside of
its ranks. And the good that the
union does in the way of getting
higher wages and better conditions
of employment extend in greater or
less degree to all classes of labor,
and no self-respecting man or woman
will accept these benefits without be-
coming part of the movement and
bearing his or her share of the bur-
den. All this applies with equal force
to the members of the union man OF
woman's family, and each member
should join and help out in the
auxillaries, where such exist But if
none of these avenues are open, there
is one opportunity that always stands
wide open and becoming you on to a
field filled with golden opportunities
and that is, the chance to demand the
union label on everything you buy
And then there is still another splen-
did opportunity to do something use
ful-lose no opportunity to speak a
good word for the movement and
those who are carrying on it's good
work, or to defend it against the slurs
and misrepresentation of its enemies.
This is a work that all can do, and
in doing it can be mighty factors in
the uplift of humanity.

COURT UPHOLDS UNION IN
WARNING BUILDERS

Judge Emory A. Chase, of the New
York state court Of appeals has ruled
that labor unions have the right to
circulate, by letters or publications,
requests that their members refuse
to assist in the construction of build
ings in which non-union made mate
rial is used, when such circulation is
done solely for the benefit of the
unions members.
The decision was rendered in dis
missing iniunctions obtained by Louis
and John Bossert, non-union trim
manufacturers, of Brooklyn, against
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners, which restrained the
Brotherhood from circulating notifi-
cation to. all contractors not to use
non-union trim in buildings if they
desired to avoid labor troubles.
In reversing the lower courts, the
court of appeals held that while "an
act when done maliciously and for
an illegal purpose may be restrained,
it was not the purpose of the defend
ants to injure the good will or bu-
siness of the plaintiffs as individuals
or non-union manufacturers generally.
In refusing to do work on non-union
made materials the defendants were
conserving their interests as individ-
uals and as members of the brother
hood"

SPEND MONEY
AT HOME
AMONG OUR LOCAL MERCHANTS
WHERE 1T IN ALL FAIRNESS
RIGHTFULLY BELONGS
Local Merchant Pays for Priv
ilege of Doing Business Here
in Many Ways, While
Foreigner Don't

One of the greatest drawbacks to
Newark and impedes its progress and
prosperity among its merchants, is
in the purchase of goods and sup
plies for the family in distant cities.
The home merchant anticipates the
wants of the community, by laying
in a large and varied stock in his
line. He pays taxes and contributes
to all charitable and other demands
made upon his liberality.
In so doing he is one of the builders
of Newark and by all species Of reason
ing is entitled to the home trade.
Does he get it? Only portion of it
and that mostly from the wage Garner.
The more favored classes and rich,
spend their money among the mer-
chants of the larger cities, where they
keep in numerous instances, open ac-
counts. Goods are sent them on ap-
proval, express charges paid one way,
and if the customer is a big one both
ways.
The workingman is not so fortunate
to be among this favored class, even
if he desired to be. He earns his
money at home and distributes it
among home merchants. He there
fore, does more for his town than his
rich neighbor. Where the man of
means, who has made it here, sends
his money awey to promote other
places, the workingman keeps it at
home, thus contributing to the up
building of Newark and the prosperity
of the local dealers and tradesmen.
Is it right that any article to be had
in Newark, from the local dealers,
should be purchased away?
If we would help to build up our
city, everybody, in all classes and
conditions Of life, should encourage
home trade and home industry. Keep
the money in Newark where it is
earned and rightfully belongs. In the
case of buying at home, as in all other
instances, in contributing to home
prosperity, the wage Garner, like
Jones, pays the freight.

COMMUNICATED.
LABOR-CAPITAL-NEWARK.

A gratifying sign of the times is
the increasing percentage of business
and those who work with their hands,
seeing the folly of small misunder-
standings and chickering's.
Apparently both are beginning to
realize that it is the essential thing
in making the best of this beautiful
city. Harmony among all classes can
and will make it pleasant home for
all. A proof of the fact that there
is a strongly made understanding be-
tween labor and capital. The best
evidence of this is the comparatively
few strikes here. All have been
settled in their very early hours and
not allowed to reach noticeable pro-
portions. 1t can only be possible, as
it is possible here, because all are in
terested in obedience to law. In a
word Newark has as a basis, good
citizenship.
To the writer's mind, the good cit
izenship brings about a proper re-
spect for individual rights and unity
of action. The moving spirit in or
gan I'd labor is to promote and bring
to ful fruition this community of in
tellect, unity of purpose and obedi-
ence to law which shall make Newark
greater, make her known among the
rapidly growing cities of the middle
west.
The very object of this puSGcation,
if the writer may presume, i pro-
mote and make sure the fouA.o on
of such a condition. The lis
mightier than the sword. AsC ~
the writer, interested as he is in On n1
ganized labor, halls the effort to carr =
on the work through a periodical, de-
voted to that end. Let the flame of
good fellowship burn. Let it put
away envy, hatred, deceit and malice.
The light of our combined purpose
and labors may be dimmed for a time
but cannot be extinguished. It can
not be extinguished forever because
of the faith we all have in orr
fellow citizen.

THE STATE WAR BOARD SAYS
TODAY

Don't waste bread it is sinew of
war.
Remember that our Allies and our
armies abroad demand 220,000,000
bushels of wheat
An army ill-fed cannot fight. People
ill-nourished cannot maintain their
armies. If the women and children
cry for bread, the soldiers lose heart.
If the bread line is lowered, the battle
line breaks.
Here are ways to use dry bread:
Slice thinly and toast. Cut dry
portions of loaves into small cubes
and toast in shallow pan. Serve for
use in soup.
The old-fashioned dish of bread
and milk offers excellent use for dry
bread.
Bread pudding made with raisins
is an attractive and nourishing dish.
Break up dry bread into small bits
and crush with rolling pins, saving
bread crumbs for future use in place
of -four. Store in covered glass jar.
Modern warfare demands headwork.
The best heads of the country have
been drafted by Uncle Sam in the
management of the war.
Headwork in the kitchen of every
household is just as important as
headwork in the councils of war
1t has been demonstrated that brains
mixed with food will reduce the cost
of living without decreasing the nu-
tritive value of the food.
Kitchen economy does not mean de-
privation but education and training.
Food Pledge Week was designed to
teach housewives how they can buy
the most nourishment for the least
money and how to eliminate waste.
1t is essential that every housewife
learn this lesson if the war for world
democracy is to be won.

A SILK. MYSTERY.

What has been regarded as more
or less of a silk trade mystery has
now been partially made clear by
man who has just returned from
France, says the New York Sun.
Ever since the war started large
quantity of American silk fabric has
been quietly and steadily shipped a.
broad, leaving scarcity which has
been distinctly felt by the trade.
The destination and use of this silk
has now been made public by the
Allied war departments.
Early in the war it was discovered
if the soldiers wore silk next to the
skin there was much less danger from
blood poisoning if the silk fabric were
driven into the wound than in the
case of cotton or wool. This dis
covery resulted in a special silk, pre-
pared by secret process, which is
used by all war departments.
Then it was found that silk
possesses extraordinary resistance to
certain explosives much used in the
early stages of the war and while
they were used, silk prepared by am
other secret process was used to
counteract them. Powder bags and
cartridge belts are also protected By
the non-infanmable silk.
The third and most important dis
covery was that when silk is woven
and prepared certain way, it offers
unexpected resistance to projectiles.
This discovery, made by the Chinese
years ago, has been turned to good
account by the Allied armies. A
great deal of silk has thus been used
and this partly accounts for its
scarcity.
) While most silk interests believed
the war would ruin this industry,
time and such unexpected uses Of silk
as outlined above have made it more
prosperous than ever before. Au-
thorities predict it will still be better
in years to come.

The local printers should hold
special Thanksgiving services on the
day set apart for it by President Will
son and Governor Cox.
They have more to be thankful for,
in the light of the recent election re-
turns than any other individual or
movement in the city. Directly by
the voters Mr.. S. o. Riggs, of the
Postal Printing Company has been
elected councilman from his ward.
The entire township leaned heavily
on j. c. McGough, for Treasurer.
Mr.. McGough has spent good part
of lifetime putting in the proper
punctuation for ignorant reporters
and incidentally operating Linotype
in the Daily American Tribune.
1t seems that Mr.. Atherton in his
mayorality race beat the Democratic
machine, incidentally the Republican
machine, the Democratic organ of the
city and county and he beat as well
the gentleman who attempted to get
into the office on a rain check. Mr..
Atherton does not seem to have taken
the American Tribune efforts to elect
Dave Murphy, seriously, and two of
his cabinet ministers are chosen from
the able political experts in that
office. Not wishing to hurt their
feelings, in Mr.. Atherton's kind
hearted way he chose Mr.. L. S. Penn
berton, machine operator, as his Di-
rector of Public Safety and as the
Clerk to the latter Mr.. J. C. Gilcrest.
Mr.. Gilcrest is the gentleman,
working for our esteemed contempo-
rary, who attempts to get out the
paper at 1920 p. m. and still keep on
setting type until 4:30 p. M, the
same day. Though his thinking ap-
paratus may get overheated at times
he will be able to cool off attending to
the duties of his new position, the
strenuousness of which is closely re-
lated to very light comedy.

STOP AND THINK!

Few people fully appreciate the
world of good that a labor paper like
The Leader can accomplish if given
support.
Stop and think about it. Look and
see if there is another paper in this
district that dare take up your side
in any controversy; dig into things
and see if you can find another that
has any inclination to do so.
With these facts staring you in the
face, isn't it time you supported
paper that stands for your ideals?

The Inspector
Reports on City

State Inspector w. E. Heck, has
furnished his report of the functions
of government in the City of Newark.
The advance copy is in the hands
of City Auditor Dodd. Mr.. Heck was
six weeks in the examination of the
city's books and the report is the
eleventh report Of the kind by the
state board of uniform accounting.
He finished the work on July 2 last
past. The report consists of 249
pages of closely compiled typewriter
pages and so far as cold figures go
is complete summary of the busi-
ness from March /, 1915, to May 5,
1917.
Inspector Heck says that he has in
his report pointed out few "mis-
takes of the head and not of the
heart" He indicates fact which is
probably true that most Of the mis-
takes are explainable and do not in
dicate a desire on the part of the
city officer to profit by any wrong
doing.
In the report on the mayors office
he points out~on May 5, 1917 dis
crepancy of $50. He call attention
to the fact that the mayor should
place all fines and collections under
the city ordinances in the hands of
the City Treasurer; those under the
statutes, with the county treasurer.
He writes that excessive costs col
lected by the mayor have been repaid.
He says that in the mayors office
there. has been a number of records
made where "cash bail' has been
accepted. He calls attention to that
very common abuse of mayors Off
ces and says that the statutes of Ohio
do not warrant the taking of a cash
deposit to secure the attendance of
the accused; except in cases where it
is charged that the individual has
violated a speed ordinance or law.
The reason for the statement of law
is obvious.
He calls attention to the cost bills
of the mayor containing an item of
one dollar, added costs, where the
patrol wagon is called. He does not
find the practice founded on an ordi-
nance, which he says is necessary.
In some cities an ordinance fixes the
cost of sending the patrol wagon at
so cents per individual. He thinks
the latter figure better suited.
He calls especial attention to the
Ohio Statutes governing the pawn
brokers doing business in a munich
pality. Their keeping an exact record
of all transactions and the hours in
which they may do business. He re-
cites the exact text of the laws. 1t
is also pointed out in the report that
certain yearly appropriation is
made in lien of costs not collectable
by the magistrate. He clearly defines
what amount of fees may be collected
by mayors and chiefs of police.
He says that considering the large
amount of business done in the office
of the mayor of Newark, the books
are admirably well kept and in fine
condition. The Inspector passes a
delicate and we'll meant compliment
on Miss Miller who has kept the
books.

JOHN MITCHELL NEW YORK'S
CHIEF FOOD COMMISSIONERS

Labor is coming daily into it's re-
ward. John Mitchell, chairman of the
state industrial commission and for
mer President of the United Mine
Workers, was nominated chairman of
the state food commission by Gov
ernor Whitman, after the senate had
rejected for the second time the ap-
pointment of George w. Perkins, of
New York. Mitchell's nomination
was confirmed unanimously. Sen4
ators who had heatedly opposed one
another in the fight over Perkins,
united lin lauding Mitchell and COM
plimented Whitman on his selection.

Newark Trades s.
Labor Assembly

The Newark Trades and Labor
Assembly dates its birth from 1881
when the local Assembly went into
the American Federation of Labor.
1t was not then known by the above
name and it was in the fall of 1883
that the first Trades Council was
finally organized here. General con-
ditions over the country were pc
culiar in 1893 and this body ceased it's
activities owing to the fact that a
number of organizations withdrew
from it. 1t was the panic year.
1t quickly revived however and in
the year 1894 it started with mem
bership of twenty locals. That num-
Der increased to forty locals in the
early part of the year 1895. Then it
was that it took its present name OF
The Newark Trades and Labor
Assembly, by which it is still known.
In the year 1912 it began an active
propaganda in the education of its
members in municipal affairs, legis-
lation, and especially along accepted
methods of promoting harmony and
a community of interest as between
the worker and the business man.
That the educational process has been
a success is in evidence in the fact
that The Newark Trades and Labor
Assembly has now in it's directorate,
an accredited representation of the
Chamber of Commerce, the Newark
City Hospital and the Associated
Charities.
1t is today standing for the good
of unionism and the improvement of
the community by the activity of such
organization. The Assembly points
with pride to it's accomplishments.
1t is a part of the strongest organized
community in the United States.
Carefully keeping aloof from the sort
of buncombe preached by the /. w. W.
1t is seeking, and has to a great ex-
tend accomplished thorough under
standing what real unionism means.
With a perfect understanding as is
sought by this organization, labor
troubles are unknown.
In addition to the above affiliated
and accredited interests in The New
ark Trades and Labor Assembly, the
following crafts are represented by
delegates chosen by the various locals:
American Flint Glass Workers No.

The most ungrateful, unmindful,
thankless, insensible individual is the
fellow who trades at the store while
he hasn't a dollar, and, then when
he makes a little money, patronizes
the mail order house or runs off to
another shop, where he pays cash.
It's not square deal.
This wise chap who evades his
creditors makes a mistake. He neg
lects the chance while he has the
money, to further establish his credit
by playing square. Confidence is
more than cash.

the failure of their fair Cod
