Labor Publicity Urged.

New York, jar. 26. AT a con
ference Of trade unionists, called
for the purpose of irsuring greater
publicity for the workers cause,
President Gonpers said:
In my judgment, much can be
done by sympath etc, systematic
and cooperative work. There is
no reason in the world, other than
our own negligence, or ignorance,
or both, to step in between the la.
Dor movement and a successful
press that shall have its Influence
upon the judgment of all the people
nothing but our own negligence, or
ignorance. or both.
AS between John Jones, and
Bill Smith, The newspapers may be
entirely impartial and present 10
their readers an entirely fair &C.
count. When editorially discussing
the subject they may deal with it
with fae judicial temperament.
"But when question arises
ranging on the one end the inter
ests ot the employees as such, and
on the other end the workers as
such, the newspaper editor views
every biz Of the subject from bis
own int7sests, interprets the whole
procedure from the standarl Of his
own interests

Street Car Strike
Unsettled.

The strike of the Street Railway
employees of the Ohio Electic line
which occurred last Saturday mora
ing is still unsettled, and every man
who left the company is still ou:.
The employees of the city line struck
for more pay which was refused
them by the company. 1t was not
until the men went on strike did
the public know of the shameful
amount of wages they were getting.
When the company heard of The
strike rumors and were notified OF
the demands made by the men they
like many other unreasonable cor
porations employed hungry unch
of rough looking strike breakers to
ill the men places. These would
be men of the lowest type are now
running the local cars aud the Ohio
Electric Railway company expects
the citizens of Hamilton 10 ride op
the cars with them.
Up TO this time not one person
has paid a fare on these cars and it
is likely that they never will as
long as the rough element that has
been imported to Hamilton to run
them remain on the cars The peo
pie of Hamilton know that the class
of men who went on strike last
Saturday morning are deserving of
more than starvation wages. We
are told that 1t costs the Ohio Elec-
tric Railway company 300 per
day for each strike breaker em
ployed. They must also house them
and feed them, supply them with
guns, ammunition and black jacks
which all of them carry.
Two of these rough necks have
already been arrested for pointing
and carrying fire arms, Others
will be arrested as fast as the po
lice can prove that they are carry
ing guns The employees of the
Ohio Electric Line struck because
they were not getting enough
money to take care Of their families
properly. When the men started
to w2rk for the city line they re-
ceived the small sum of 20 cents
per hour, or 81 90 per day for an
eight hour run After working
one whole year for this amount
they were then granted Il cents
per heur, or $168 for the day.
These prices might have beer all
tight fifteen or twenty years ago,
but they are way out of proportion
now and they must be recu6ed by
the men who went on strike and by
the citizens who refuse to ride OF
the cars.

FUNSTON IN MEXICO
Much Pleased With Conditions of
Troops in Pershing's Camps.

Field Headquarters, Punitive Expedi-
tion. Mexico, Jan. 17.-General Fun
ston returned to Colonia Dublan from
Elvalle last night, thus completing the
inspection of a 175-milc line of COM
munication and the review of some
10000 men.
The experience is surprising" Cen
eral Funston stated. Until now l did
not fully realize the responsibility Of
the officers and men of the expedition
and do not believe that the American
people fully appreciate what job this
expedition has had and how well Vt
has carried out its orders"
General Funston praised highly the
expeditionary soldiers, their efficiency,
equipment and splendid physical con-
dition. The amount of road work
performed. the establishment of COM
munications and keeping them open,
motor trucks transportation, the crea-
ton of pure water supplies and The
care taken in a sanitary way, he said,
had impressed him greatly. Speaking
of general conditions, General Fun
StOn said:
Reports reaching us from all
sources seem to indicate that condi-
lions in the part of Mexico adjacent 20
the United States are better than they
have been for some time"
Neither General Funston nor Cen
eral Pershing would make any state
ment in regard to withdrawal other
than that they did not possess any
knowledge on the subject. The Opin-
ION is freely expressed unOfficially by
line officers and men that the retire
ment will begin within ten days.
