We knew they would do it. The
very same day that the first large
gun carriage was shipped from the
Ordnance Department of the Mosler
Safe Company, the german army
started their retreat. Somebody must
have put the Kaiser next that Ham
ilton was coming.

Not so long ago the Butler County
court house was visited by disas
trous fire, the GOODIES of justice at
that time tumbled from the building
and broke into fragments. Not long
after that crash of lightning sent
/
down by ONE above struck the new
tower and did great damage. Last
week another calamity struck the old
i building and if we are not mistaken
she has been pretty well blistered up.
However the good people of Butler
County can rest assured that the IA
nous edifee going through these many
ordeals, still remains in its present
location

! No matter what we might have to
say politically about some people the
innocent have no cause to worry. They
themselves know best who they are,
so does everybody else.
They tell US to speed up and they
! tell us to hurry up. They tell US to
work long hours and to work every
day. They urge us to do every thing
possible to win the war with which
we are fully in accord. Every ma
chanic is doing his level best to get
out production and to get it out fast
1t takes energy, brain and Drawn to
accomplish this task, and then they
tell us that you cannot even have a
glass of 2 1-2 per cent. Shall the
little pleasure and the nourishment
for the speedster be taken from him

The American trade union move
ment has so thoroughly demonstrated
its 100 per cent loyalty that there is
no question on that score-and never
was.
But there are two sides to every
equation-at least two sides.
The trade union movement is con
ducting itself in such manner as tc
give the nation the greatest possible
total Of war strength In the face OF
this here and there will be found an
employer who has failed absolutely tc
grasp the new concept of the civilized
world and who insists upon imposing
conditions under which labor cannot
do it's best for the government. Anc
labor is just determined enough upor
absolute efficiency to rebel against
conditions that make for low grade
work and product
Such employers must bear the onus
of their own conduct. If possible
they must be educated to the new con.
cept of things-to the spirit of Ameri
ca today.
The trade union movement insists
upon complete loyalty, not alone il
words. but in deeds-in daily shoE
conduct. The trade union movement
has written for the country a splen-
did standard for the conduct of work
err and employer:
DO NOTHING THAT CANNOT BE
JUSTIFIED TO THE MAN ON THE
FIRING LINE IN FRANCE.
If the employer, as well as the work
er, will live up to that test of conduct
| America will have 100 per cent eff
fectiveness in the vast network Of
factories, mills and shops that con
stitute the second line of defense.
