u. S. Labor Mission Helps To Clearer
Understanding Of Our Share.
There rlust Be No Quit
ters Anywhere.

London (By Mai)-The Ameri-
can Labor Mission now in England is
demonstrating the value of face-to-
face talk. 1t is giving the English
workers a better understanding Of
American Labor's firm purpose and
fixed resolve and it will return to
America able to clarity a great many
matters of which America has not
had clear understanding.
1t will return, too, with a thorough
understanding of what it means to be
100 per cent at war. The English
people are at war IN a way that
Americans do not know of-in a way
that can scarcely be understood unless
seen. The people of England are con
secrated to this and what is
more they are demonstrating the
reality Of their consecration by I'M
remitting physical effort.
Men, women and children are at
work Everyone who is not at the
front is at work. Within four hours
after the Mission landed at British
port Melinda Scott stood speaking be-
fore an audience of 60e working

Niles Mach an.
les Leaving.

The Niles Tool Works Company is
having their troubles lately securing
help and retaining those that they al
ready have. From reports from men
in the big factory machinists are leav-
ing by the dozens and they are not
coming in as fast as they are going
out.
When asked the cause of the ma
chinists leaving the Niles company, we
are told that wages and conditions are
better in other shops. While some of
the men have left the city altogether,
yet many of them have secured posi-
tions in other local shops. In the
course of week it is said, about
thirty-fve machinists have quit. Near
ly all are members of the Machinists
Union and carry cards.
We know of many Hamilton mechan-
les who have left our city in the past
six months, secured positions that pay
them double the wages paid in the
Niles plant. Is it any wonder or sur
prise that the men quit and leave?
Dayton has large number of our
mechanics and are glad to get them at
any price and card men preferred. 1t
appears that machine shops through
out the country, including the shops in
Hamilton that have agreements with
the Machinists' union, have come to
realize that the time is here for col
lective bargaining. Those that have
realized conditions are getting the
help.
What the Niles plant needs and
needs bad, is men at its head with
naw and up-to-date methods. Those
old fogy ideas don't go now, but il
appears that some believe that the
same course persued by Noah, wher

women, talking to them as they ate
their lunch. It was a thrilling sight.
The cheers were inspiring. The
spontaneous expression OF friendship
was revelation. AS we left the great
plant hundreds of women and girls
pressed around every member Of the
Mission, stretching out more hands
than could have been shaken in a
half day.
Again we saw women building great
machines of war Neither the plant
nor the work can be told Of here, but
the women were there doing the work
Of men as machinists, operating huge
travelling cranes tending FORCES
doing everything that is to be done
where big machines are built. And
William II. Johnston, President Of the
international Association of Machin-
lists, testified to the high quality of
the work done. 1t has to be of high
quality-the very highest, for the lives
of brave men depend upon their ham
diworl.

to conceal" said George Barnes. at

yided for longer period. On the
other hand we must also be positive
that the sum raised is sufficient to
enable US to keep faith with the peo-
pie and not permit them to be solicit
ed for War Relief for at least twelve
months.
Judge Clarence Murphy, chairman
Of the War Chest campaign committee
at the opening of the campaign on
Monday morning pledged this slogan:
KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURN
ING TIL THE BOYS COME
HOME"
The origina | plan was to raise
$20OO0 After figuring up it was
found that this sum is insufficient
and another 100000 was added.
If every one in Hamilton district
viii just do his share we ought to
raise three times the amount sought.
It can only BE raised by united ef-
fort If any considerable portion Of
the vast organization created for
carrying it through fails, the whole
scheme will fall to the ground But
failure is unthinkable 1t would have
a depressing effect on our boys at the
front. 1t would cause them to think
that Butler County was not one hund-
red per cent loyal to them.
But we are not going to fail Sat
urday the last day is to be the big
day It was said in the start that
100000 would burst the lid off the
War Chest but we are going to jam
that additional 100000 into it and
bulge out the sides and the bottom.
So brother, get into it if you are
not already in, help the committee,
see to it that your neighbor is in and
then be ready to smile with the rest
of the people when the result is made
known Saturday night, for having
done YOUR bit.

Many New Members Com

day night at which a great deal of

reported that the contractors are

John King, the contractor, who
several weeks ago was declared un-
fair to the organization because Of
employing non-union carpenters sign
ed articles of agreement with the
union. Mr. King admitted that he
was wrong and promised to be right
with the organization in the future
Five candidates were initiated and
six new applications were received
at this meeting.
Brother Custom, a charter member
of the Richmond, Ind, local was pres
ent and made a splendid talk to those
present. He was enthusiastically re-
ceived Brother Custom is now en-

The Boys "Over There" Are Giving Everything.
What Are You Doing

The War Chest campaign is draw
ing to a close. The committees and
hustlers are working like trojans. All
they ask of YOU is to chip in, to do
your bit" Have you done it? If you
havn't it is not too late. Don't be in
a position where you will have to own
up to the boys when they come home
that you didn't do yours
The 1000 or more boys who have
gone from Butler County are working
and drilling 81 days every month for
US here at home; when they get to
France they will stand in the trenches
knee deep in water and mud, they viii
be torn by the terrible schrapnel; /;
they viii be suffocated by the noxious
gases; they will be shattered by the
high explosives; they will endure this
day and night, week days and Sun
days, for 81 days every month and
they will be doing it for US for you
and me and for our wives and children.
If they are willing TO give 81 days
and nights such as these for US then
shouldn't we be willing to give just a
little out Of each 81 days pay so that
they may have things which are nee
essary to keep them we'll and strong,
to nurse them back to health when
they are sick and wounded, to do some
! of those things for them which they
would have if they were sick at home :?
OF course we should be willing to
