questions.
An answer will be found oppo-

!. The trades unionist knows no
closed shop other than that run
by the manufacturers who refuse
to employ men carrying a union
card.

menace to them because a union
man carrying a card would not be
employed by them.
8. Yes. We have also heard Of
them III all other walks Of life in
oluding factory officials
T. No, we know no limitation to
the output other than that placed
by the foreman Of the shop de
manding Of the men the maximum
days work made by any individual
in the shop regardless of his phys
ica1 ability
s. Yes! Positively and better so
than any either conditions, as shown
by all the foundries in Hamilton
which are now working under
union conditions.
g. Under closed shop" as con
Quoted by the manufactures, NO,
but, under union shop conditions,
YES.
10 Yes but we do not believe that
the professional strikebreaker is
conducive to the safety of the de
mocracy of our city.
II. Our officers have and no
doubt will continue to do their duty.
We know of no instance where
protection has not been given
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1917-07-20

IT means that the owners and
managers of Ell Hamilton
foundries could neither en-
employ nor discharge men on the
basis of fitness and worth. The
demand for a "closed hop"
means that that power would be
passed over to union officers not
responsible to the shop and not
interested in its welfare. None
but members Of their particular
organization would be allowed
to work and the employer would
have no power to measure his
men according to their personal
abilities and their value in his
work.
Do you suppose for an instant that in the
dull days to come, Hamilton shops can hold
their own with their competitors with such
chaos in their shops2
Do the workers of Hamilton want it's fac
tories to do their share of the worlds produc
tion IN BAD TIMES AS WELL as GOOD?
Ifso they know that closed shops are
dangerous menace to their welfare.
Did you ever hear of corruption or graft
on the part of so-caIed labor "organizars."
Did you ever hear Of their schemes for
forbidding their members to turn out more
than certain amount of work per day re
gardless Of the principle Of "a fair days work
for fair days pay?"
DO you suppose that Hamilton industry
could grow and thrive with the Unions" in
the saddle?
Do you think single citizen of this town
would profit by it if We were to be forced to
closed shop?
Are such men as want to take Jobs ia our
shop TO be allowed to live in peaoe and com
fort in your town?
Are your officers going to insure them the
peace and tranquility OF cur vaunted demo
cratic institutions?

4 Sure they do.

5. The workers of Hamilton
know that the closed shop as con
Quoted by the manufacturers is a
menace to them because a union
man carrying a card would not be
employed by them.

Whether my contest Of the

probably depend upon Judge Whit

said Wade O. Martin, sheriff Of
st. Martin parish, Thursday, upon
his arrival fro mhis home in st.

eff Judge Martin lines up with

lying dormant. He came to the

FORGET.

This poem was handed to us for
reproduction in The Enterprise !:
Forget each kindness that you
do
As soon as you have done it;
Forget the praise that falls to you
The moment YOU have won 1t;
Forget the SANDER that You hear
Before YOU can repeat it;
Forget each slight, each spite,
each sheer,
Wherever you may meet 1t.
"Remember every kindness done
To YOU. whate 'er its measure ;
Remember praise by others won,
And pass it on with pleasure;
Remember every promise made
And keep it to the letter;
Remember those who lend YOU aid
And b a grateful debtor. '-Ex.

A CHEERFUL SOUL.

While looking out into the

citizen passed and complained
about the weather and not bel 10
able to earn a dollar or drive a
bargain, our Office door flew open.
last Monday morning and at
tracted by a tap on the floor be-
hind our chair, there stood a man
ill-shaped. without legs from his
knees down.
We expected to see a long face,
and to hear a spiel, describing his
misfortunes and 2 plea for a do
nation, a penny or more. But not

his knees, supported by his little
crutches. and saving not a word

could not be bought for less in
the store. As we fumbled for a
quarter. we could not help but
contrast the sunny life and laud-
able effort Of this poor deformed
man. with many others who are
ell and strong, possessed of all
their mental and physical pow
ers but who have acquired the
habit Of complaining and instead
of going on. with a smile and
song. despair and make them
selves, as well as others mlser-
able by their complaining.
We know nothing of this man,
but to see him toddling along on
his crutcheS with his knees IN
the mud while the rain and Sleet
fall on his head. and never ask
in gfor a penny nor uttering a
word of complaint. is sufficient to
nut to shame many an able bod
led man who doles out his com
nlaint and gives ND in despair

From what we learn all of the

be gone over again owing to seV-
eral little technicalities that were
overlooked and the fact that prop
erty is included in the District
and made subject to special taxes
that should have been left out, as
it is contended that no benefits
from a drainage stand pOinJ viii
accrue to them. This in unfort- |
innate, but it is much bet .er that
it was detected in time before any
great cost was incurred. il s sad |
that all lands lying in the sixth |

We're drawn up. This was not the
intention Of the Board as it was
