Musicians union to this most worthy
cause. The musicians are union men,
the Trades Council has indorsed the
project, members of the Carpenters
union have agreed to give half day
to do the necessary carpenter work
so that you see it is an event in which
organized labor should take more than
the ordinary interest. Every union
man and woman should attend this
affair next Sunday. Let's go out and
help the musicians to make this the
most successful event of the kind ever
held.

Next week is G. A. r. convention.
Hamilton is to be the host, perhaps
for the last time, of the old veterans,
God bless them, of the civil war. Let
US give them fitting welcome. Let
every home swing Old Glory to the
breeze. Let US extend the hand of
true fellowship, show them such hos
pitality so that when they return to
their homes they will say there is
no place like Hamilton" Let us give
them the welcome we hope that our
boys will receive in years to come at
their annual conventions-the boys
who are now fighting and dying that
we might enjoy everlasting peace and
freedom. Hats off! Hats off, we say,
to the old veterans, God speed and
keep you.

The time isn't far off for the in
auguration of the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign. Start saving right now so
that when the time does come you
will be ready for it. There is no bet
1 ter investment you can make than in
Liberty Bonds. When you buy these
bonds you lay up for that rainy day
which is sure to come, you help your
Uncle Som to win the war, and what
is best of all you tell "the boys" you
are backing them up in the great
struggle they are in for FREEDOM
and DEMOCRACY.

Politics in Hamilton is so keen that
if you don't belong to the right bunch
you are looked at as one of the un-
desirables. Nobody has right to
oppose another for election unless il
meets with the approval of our
bunch. There is more boycotting
blacklisting, and we don't patronize
practiced in the ranks of our politi-
clans than ever organized labor
dreamed of. With all of this going
on how can we branch out and pros

The Champion is erecting some
20x20 houses over on North B street
Pete better get those guards back
again and get them in hurry A
flock of martins are apt to swoop
down and take possession of them
The only thing in the way of accom-
modations for the martins is a pole
to hold the houses up in the air and
out of the dust

City Council has before it a petit
ton presented several weeks ago by
the fremen, oilers and helpers en-
ployed at the city electric and water
plants asking for an increase in
wages. The request of these employees
is not unreasonable and council should
grant it without delay. They are ask
ing no more than. is being paid for
the same work in other plants
throughout the city. There are enough
union men in council to see that this
matter is acted upon at once

We hear much talk of few men
around here having pro-German ten
dencies. We would advise sending
them down to Major Frank Bolles,
chief inspector of Ordnance at Mos
ler's. If they will listen and talk
to the doughty little major just ten
minutes and are not plump full of
loyalty and patriotism at the end of
that time, they are incurable and
should be interned or shot.

During less than thirty-three years
use in national trade unionism the
scope of the union label has extended
from single industry so that it in
cludes now more than fifty crafts in
North America, whose products enter
