Truck Drivers Strike.

The truck drivers employed at
the Butler Lumber company went
ON strike Monday morning after
Mr.. Charles Sanders refused the
men an increase in wages The
truck drivers we are told were get
ting about sixteen dellarS per week
and they asked the firm for eigh-
teen dollars which was refused.
The men then struck and other men
were placed in their positions.
The men appealed to the Team
sters' and Truck Drivers Union
and after making application to the
union their case was taken before
the central body.
A committee was appointed from
the central body to meet with Mr..
Sanders which they did Wednesday
morning After being in consulta-
ton with him for about one hour the
COMMITTEES was convinced that Mr..
Sanders was determined to keep the
men n the strikers places. He
contended that the Teamsters Un-
ion had no right to take up the
cause of the strikers because they
did not belong 10 the union when
they struck,
The same old cry was brought
out that some of the men were not
giving satisfaction and the others
are agitators, etc. The committee
was finally convinced that Mr.. San
ders held prejudice feeling against
the men and would not reinstate
them in their former positions.
The matter will again be placed be
fore the central body and the com
mittee will make their report.

CHESTER PARK

The second week Of the season
at Chester Park, Cincinnati most
popular family play place, will be
usheied in with a program that will
readily equal, if not suIpass, that
with which the regular season was
opened last week. The bill which
will be presented In the free vaude-
vile shows, given at 3 and p N.
daily, is one Of distinct merit and
cIassiness.
Without a doubt, Chester's caoa-
ret is the best that that popular re-
sort has ever had The girls are
pretty, graceful and accomplished,
and the men are artists, every one
of them. Chester Clubhouse pa

P. Mello is again in charge Of the

has been In charge of waiter ser
vice at the Queen City Club and
other first-place establishments, has

with this is the fact that Manager
II. NJ Martin determined that, in
spite Of the adverse conditions, he
would not advance prices.

BY Grant Hamilton, Legis
Iative Committeeman Of
The A. F, of.

Recently the Council of National
Defense issued a statement urging
that standards obtaining in industry
should not be disturbed until such
time as an emergency arose which,
In the opinion of the Council of Ma
tional Defense, demanded changes.
Even should sn emergency arise no
changes were advised except upon
specific recommendations by the
Council of National Defense. I'M
mediately there began campaign
of misinterpretation and an attempt
by unfair employers to break down
existing standards and labor laws.
Organized labor has resisted this
attempt and will resist to the utter
most the grad grinds who assume
there is an opportunity afforded by
war conditions TO strike heavy
blew at union labor.
A few days ago conference was
held In the Department of Labor at
which were present Secretary OF
Labor Wilson, Secretary of Com
merce Redheld, President John
Williams of the AmaIgamated AS
sociat'on of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, Vice President Larkin OF
the same association, James Sulli-
van, assistant to Samuel Gompers
of the Advisory Commission of the
Council of National Defense, and
Grant Hamilton representing the
American Federation of Labor.
The subject of the conference
was the general labor situation in
the steel industry, with particular
reference to strikes then in progress
The attitude of the Council of Ma.
tional Defense was reiterated by
Secretary Wilson, and he being q
member of the Council his state
ment Is official. The secretary, ad.
dressing President Williams of the
Steel Workers, said:
The Council OF National Defense
takes this position, that the stand
ards that have been established by
law, by mutual agreement or by
custom should not be changed al
this time; where either the m
ployer or the employee has beer
unable under normal conditions tc
change the standards to their owr
liking, they should not take ad
vantage of the present abnorma
conditions to establish new stand

ards. Among those standards is
the standard of living The Coun
ell of National Defense recognized
the fact that the standards of living
Is an indefinite standard, difficult
TO determine, thae 1t is almost en-
tlrely dependent upon the rate of
wages retaining the same purchas-
ing power. If the wages received
will not purchase as much, then the
standard of living is lowered If
the wages received will purchase
more, then the standard of living Is
increased. Because of the indeh-
niteness of the standard of living
and the maintaining of 1t at the
same point, the Council recognizes
the fact that from time to time dis
putes will arise as to what Is nee
essary to maintain that standard of
living, but 1t feels that before any
stoppage of work takes place in any
industry in which the Government
Is interested fox the maintenance of
safety that the established agencies
of the Government should be given
an opportunity to use their good
Offices to bring about an adjust
ment of the impending dispute.
Now, there is only one point
aside from the wage question in
which your organization is especial
ly interested in connection with
standards, and that is the question
of recognition of the union. That
is the one burning question In
which, aside from these other ques-
tons, you are involved. l do not
knc W the attitude of the other mera-
bers of the Council on this particu
lar point, but my own attitude is
this, that capital has no right to in
terfere with workingmen organic
Ing labor any more than the work
ingman has a right to interfere
with the capitalists organizing cap
ital. The two are on parity on
that point, and so my feeling is
that In the present emergency the
employer has no right to interfere
with you in your efforts to organize
the workers into unions, Just as
you have no right to interfere with
capitalists organizing capital into
corporation. If ou can get a con
dition where efforts to organize the
workers are not interfered with and
where scale of wages is recognized
that maintains the present standard
of living, it occurs to me that for
the time being no stoppage Of work
should take place for the purpose
of forcing recognition of the union.
/ OF course, that would not interfere

with the employers and yourselves
entering into any arrangement for
recognition that might be mutually
agreeable.

IT'S YOUR STEP
THAT ATTRACTS!
SAYS WOMEN PAY TOO MUCH
HEED TO THEIR FACE IN
STEAD OF THEIR CoRNS.

Watch your step! A brisk, lively
step is what charms more than love
~ skin, but your high heels have caus'
ed corns and you limp a little. That's
bad, girls, and you know it. Corns de-
stroy beauty and grace, besides corns
are very easy to remove.
Rid your feet OF every corn by ask:
ing at the drug store for a quarter OF
an ounce of freezone. This will cost
little but is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or callus from ones
feet.
tender, aching corn relieves the sore
ness and soon the entire corn, root and
all, lifts right out without pain
This freezone Is a gummy substance
which dries instantly and simply shrtv'
els up the corn without inaaming or eV'
en- irritating the surrounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that
cornsless feet create a youthful step
which enhances her attrachveness.
