the second janitor, with some doubt.
How do they manage to keep them

Strike Fever in ENGLAND.

The strike wave in England appears
to have amounted almost to insanity.
A number of metal workers, engaged
in the manufacture of radiators, struck
in sympathy with other members OF
the union who were striking for an in
crease in wages of solderers and tin
men. The radiator workers, who We're
getting twice the sum, still are hold
ing out. This fact means that the COM
pletion Of many airplanes is delayed.
Shop hands numbering 10000 in the
Birmingham and Midland districts de-
manded recognition of their shop stew
ards or said they would strike imme-
diately. The majority Of the shops
are working on munitions. The Min
lstry of Labor is attempting to bring
about settlement, and negotiations
are proceeding.

Labor LOYAL In War.

Industrial unrest in the United
States is at a minimum, 1t was Off
cially announced at Washington.
Officials ascribe the improved con-
ditions TO the spirit of accommodation
brought about between capital and Ia
Dor by the realization that discord en-
dangers the success of the war. ADJ
justment boards have comparatively
few cases before them, according to
information gathered by the council of
national defense.
Increased living costs and higher
wages being paid in industries having
government contracts have resulted in
a number of wage demands by railroad
operatives, but the federal board of
mediation and Cancellation has been
successful In averting walkouts ard in
bringing the two sides together in near
ly all the cases.
Close watch on labor conditions is
being maintained by government agen-
cies to smooth out differences before
they reach a point of feeling.

Children Must Be
Safeguarded

uon careful study of the effects upon
children has convinced the officials of
both countries their peace-time regula
tion~ hould be restored
Nobody imagines that the necessity
of the United States in this war will
ever be as great as that of France. We
do not expect to be called on to suffer
as intensely. At the outset. then, plain
~ we should not be more willing to
sacrifice childhood than is heroic
France We may well accept the state.
ment Of NJ Albert Thomas. previously
the French minister of munitions, that
''the experience of war time has only
demonstrated the ecessity-technical
ly and eeonomically-of the labor laws
enacted before the war. In our legis-
lation secured in time of peace we
shall find the conditions for a better
and a more intense production during
the war"
The Numbers Set Free.
The federal child labor law provides.
among other things, that no child un-
der IA shall work in any mill, cannery,
workshop. factory or manufacturing
establishment which ships its products
into interstate or foreign commerce.
Manufacturers may protect themselves
by keeping on file federal or in GER
tain cases state, certificates proving
the ages of the children employed.
Federal inspectors working under
Miss Abbott are responsible for the en-
forcement of the law Local factory
inspectors have likewise some respon-
sibiIity for its observance. Twelve
states have standards quite as high
as the federal Iaw, and since its adop-
tion there has been a marked increase
in the state acts.
The number Of children affected by
the law is hard to ascertain. Mr.. Col
Inns reports, however that at least
27,023 children under IA have been
taken out Of industry In addition to
these. 1867 who were employed in
mines and quarries have left that
heavy work. Moreover. there is the
uncertain group between IA and 16
who by the terms Of the law were ac-
corded an eight-hour day. The 1910
census reported 119,690 such children
in the states without a juvenile eight
hour law.

profit was guaranteed to the owner
and in some cases no profit is being

This bargain has worked excellently.

lose IN COURT
Highest Judicial Tribunal unholds
Decision Against Which
They Appealed.
ALL LABOR UNIONS INVOLVED
Opinion Means That in the Case of
"open Shop" Employers Have Right
to Prevent Unions Tsmpering
With Nonunion Employees.

Employers legally may operate their
plants as open shops and prevent con-
spiracies to bring their nonunion em-
ployees into labor organizations, ac-
cording to the decision of the United
States Supreme court in the cases of
the Hinchman Coal and Coke COM
pany and the Eagle Glass Manufac-
turing company of West Virginia.
The court virtually upheld the deci-
sion of Federal Judge Dayton of West
Virginia in enjoining the United Mine
Workers of America as an Illegal or
ganization and for conspiracy under
laws of West Virginia. The court di-
vided on the opinion, to 3.
The case involved the right of en-
ployers to prevent unions from So
liciting nonunion employees to join
their organizations.
Methods Of the labor organization
in attempting to unioniZe the "open
shop" workmen and bring about
strikes were declared unlawful and
malicious.
The court admitted right Of work
men to organize into unions for laW7
full methods. but held that the enl-
ployers--the Hinchman Coal and Coke
company and the Eagle Glass Manu-
featuring company of West Virginia
were entitled to operate their
plants "open shop" and to protection
and injunction against the labor union
ordered for that purpose.
Associate Justices Brandeis, Holmes
and Clarke dissented from the opin-
ion handed down by the other six
members of the court.
In a statement Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American Federation
of Labor, criticized the decision as
hardening ''back TO the days when
employers were monarchs of all they
surveyed and their employees We're
servants or slaves

BY GEORGE souLE.

When the war broke out Great Brit
ain was Oh the verge of a labor CON
fict. But on the day after the great
war was declared the heads of some
of the big unions went to London and
declared truce. They promised not
to strike until Germany made peace.
Later the understanding between capi-
tai and labor was embodied in the so
called treasury agreement, and, with
certain notifications, was enacted into
law in the munitions act.
Law Founded on Bargain.
The munitions act is founded on a
bargain. The first difficulty the Brit
ish government faced was a great
shortage Of shells and other munitions.
There never has been a time, Sir
Stephenson Kent said, when the re-
quirements Of the army have not risen
above the advance estimates. And the
shortage of material, combined with
raising an army, immediately created
a shortage of labor.
Prewar union customs stood in the
way of remedying that shortage.
Skilled men, in order TO protect them
selves, had refused to allow the intro
duction of machine processes which
would permit the use of lower-paid
workers, who did not require SO long
d training And, in order to protect
the power OF the unions the labor
leaders had established the closed shop
in many plants, so that women and
nonunion men could not be brought in.
Dangers Threatened Industries.
Prewar customs Of employers also
threatened disaster. The enormous in
crease of the demand over the supply
of their products enabled them to
charge higher prices and gather n big
profits, thus hampering the govern
ment, raising the cost of living and
causing labor trouble. And they also
began to entice men from each others
plants By offering higher wages, thus
inter- ting production, increasing
costs, and often leading to scanty sup
ply of skilled men where they were
most needed.
Put End to Abuses.
The munitions act got the workers
and the employers together and elimin-
ated both abuses. It first insured fair
ness by placing Ill plants doing neces-
sary war work under the control Of the
minister if munitions. He could do
anything he pleased ia the manage
ment sc these plants. The British flag
was raised over them, as a symbol Of
their national character. The govern,

Whereas, Circumstances having

at the High School Auditorium on
last Thursday evening in reference
to our brothers now in Jail, and
Whereas, The condition of the

mitted that the Butler County Jail
is not fit for women and if so Their

Where's, This condition having
arisen we deem 1t advisable in or
der to save our own brothers and
the city from this terrible scourge
that arrangements be i'm nediately
made SO Our brothers can be re-
leased on bond, therefore be 1t
Resolved, Owing to the above
conditions referred to we deem it
advisable for the best interest of or
ganized labor, as a whole and the
National crisis existing at this time
that we secure the release of our
brothers and return to work on
Wednesday morning.
A motion to adopt the resolution
brought forth remarks from many
of those present. 1t was pointed
out that for the safety of the men
involved and for the best interest
of all concerned that the release of
those imprisoned should be secured
at once and all union men and sym
pathizers go back to their jobs.
Upon vote being taken the motion
carried unanimously.
i A committee then waited on tt e
men in Jail and secured their CON
sent to sign bonds. Immediate &C
ton was taken to secure bonds SO
that the men might be released at
once. But DR.. Smedly informed
the committee that il would be i'm
possible to get the men out before
sometime Monday as they would
all have to be vaccinated ard given
an anticeptic bath. On Monday
when everything seemed to have
been done that was necessary, an
other blow fell. DR.. Smedly in.
formed the committee that before
leaving, the men would have to
have complete change of cloth
ing, leaving their old clothes to be
fumigated. Here is where the rub
came, even the committee beiug
stumped. With wearing apparel
being way mp in price as il is at
present about all some of the men

sides and from what is learned, has
brought them closer together than
any time since the strike occurred.
What the result of the meeting
was on Wednesday is not being
made known at this time but the
committee say that things are pro-
crossing finely The committee
made their report to the union on
Thursday but action was deferred,
awaiting the arrival of President
John Golden, of the International
Union of Textile Workers of
America. He is expected to ar
rive today (Friday). President
Golden will Immediately take
charge and bend every effort to-
ward bringing about a successful
adjustment of the differences exist
ing at this establishment.
It is to be hoped that both sides
will adopt that give and take atti-
tude to such extent that a settle
ment may be reached and all made
happy.
The textile workers received a
handsome check this week from
their international which more than
covered the payroll.
