KEEP UP LABOR STANDARD
Warning European Countries Recog.
nixe Danger in Relaxation OF
Employment Rules.

Labor standards of the warning Eu-
at the beginning of hostilities when
mobilization made necessary the re-
cruiting of women and children for
work usually performed by men, are
being restored In most countries and
strengthened in others, according TO
information compiled by the children's
bureau of the department of labor.
Experience proved that the relax.
Ing of standards failed of its purpose"
says the report. Definite steps were
taken by the governments to restore
the provisions of the labor law, be-
cause they were found to be essential
not only to the conservation of the
available workers. but to the quantity
and quality of their output"
Increase In the number of women
and children workers, according to the
report, has made more widespread and
serious the effects of relaxing employ
ment standards. In France, Germany
and ITALY there has been q great in
crease of home work on government
contracts, with its customary evils of
long hours and low wages"
''The point which stands out unmis-
takably from the foreign experience" /"
the report continues, sis the general
realization that the labor standards
achieved In times of peace are none
too high to promote the efficiency of
work, the intensity of output and the
general level of health which are alb
solutely essential to the nations well
/ fare In war time"

Harry Mckee
Going Into Transfer Business.

Harry Mckee, for many years con-
nected with the A. j Conroy Furni-
ture Co, has resigned his position
and gone into the transfer business
for himself Harry is well known
throughout the city and there isn't
the least doubt that he will be success
ful in his new venture. He has been
a member of the Retail Clerks union
for many years and has been the
president Of that organization the
past two years. His loss will be
greatly felt and the clerks regret
very much to see him leave their or
ganization. The retail clerks and his
host of friends join in wishing him
every success in the business he has
launched. Orders can be left for him
either at the Conroy Co. in Eagles
Temple or at his residence, 1873 sher-

YOUR DUTY.

An Americans duty is first Of all
to his country. Second to his home
Without faithfully performing the
former duty you cannot perform the
latter and especially 50 in this time
when the world is in such a turmoil
when might is trying to overpower
right.
This war means extra burdens for
all Of us here at home But these
burdens are not a circumstance com
pared with those Of The brave boys
who are in the trenches "over there"
ready to make the supreme sacrifice
ready to meet death-that Liberty
and Justice may live.
I Our burdens here at home are COM
posed mostly Of extra obligations that
compel us to put forth extra. effort,
to do extra work, that the brave lads
fighting on land and sea will have
the necessary munitions Of war to
carry the banner Of Liberty to final
and conclusive Victory
The man who works at the bench,
the machine, the mould, the drill and
wherever he aids in turning out war
materials should pat forth his extra
effort to rush the work Of our Gov
ernment-a Government that stands
for right Government that has
been the haven Of millions Of people
who have deserted the autocrat that
now attempts to dominate the world
with his mailed fist Of militarisna.
Petty differences between the men
who make industry possible capital
and labor should be cast in the dis
card during this time when every
minute seems SO much in bringing
back our own boys who have gone TO
the front. Every man should, and
must, look beyond the immediate fu-
ture into the further distant time
when peace viii again rule the world
the time when greater efforts and
sacrifices at this time viii have won
them liberty eternal.
Many men consider only themselves.
They do not think that industry is
doing its share Of carrying the bur
dens Of war Just now industry pays
sixty per cent Of its profits to carry
on the war program. a new bill in
Congress demands that industry's S
taxation be increased TO eighty per
cent of its profits. Any industry win

not complain because of the common
interest Of all-America which is at
stake.
ALL of US MUST do our utmost.
Every minute, every hour, and every
day that we can devote to the making
Of munitions of war should be SO
utilized.
Remember your duty!
First to your country-then to your
self!

Our time and space has been taken

any reply, other than one of the com

editor Of this paper and has made
some very uncomplimentary remarks
about him. We should worry.

WOMEN SUCCESSFULLY
TAKE PLACES OF MEN.

Invasion of women In the In
dustries of the land was never
SO wildly shown as in the city
of Warren, Pa, during the past
few weeks when the calling of
over 300 young men to war Gre
ated many vacancies in the
ranks of labor. During the past
few weeks, since the young men
responded to the call to the
training camps, women have ap-
peared In several lines of en-
deavor into which they had pre-
viously never ventured. Lathes
are being manned" by the wom-
en- and girls and in this they ex-
eel the men, their daily output
being, after a few weeks prac-
tice, above that of the men
formerly employed. One man
ager says: ''The experiment is
a success and we will use many
women hereafter. Where dex-
terity Is required, the women ex-
eel the men and only on the
heavier work are they unable to
compete on an equality with the
men,"

"Over the top" for the War CHEST.
'Over the top three times we went.
First for the $2oO,,oo goal, then
100000 and then just for good meas
ure the chairman of the committee,
Judge Clarence Murphy, called for an
extra 100000 and "oyer" we went
again. For an extra good measure the
workers jammed in $4,000 more up
to Saturday noon and this figure may
go as high as $25, 900, making q grand
total of 1926 600 in our War Chest,
for which 100000 was asked at the
outset. What will our boys say when
they hear this great news from the
old home town? Won't they feel
tickled and run over with the pep"
when they hear how the folks at home
are backing them up? And won't
they feel proud when they tell their
"bunkie" about it?
TOGO much praise can't be given the
War Chest committee for the success
ful manner in which they conducted
the campaign. We know that they
are not looking for thanks, that they
are more pleased than anyone at the
successful ending Of the campaign, but
the Press desires to congratulate these
noble men who so untiringly gave of
their time and efforts for weeks that
the goal sought for might be reached
And to the noble women who assisted
the committee the Press extends its
congratulations. And above all, to the
PEOPLE OF HAMILTON do we ex-
tend congratulations upon the mag

that the factories are making over

Two weeks ago, because Of the
death Of Mr.. William Mosler, the big
safe factory in East Hamilton was
closed down on Friday and Saturday
of that week. Last week when the
employees opened their pay envelopes
they found full pay for the days they
didn't work. The generosity of the
firm was much appreciated by the
workers

The latest method Of some of our
politicians TO crush candidates who do
not belong to one faction or the other,
is to threaten them with a report that
they are disloyal to our country It
appears that these politicians are
