against the Cincinnati Firemen's
Union. Isn't that wonderful sur
prise. What great effect such action
will have on the situation. On the
square, in all your life, did you ever
hear of a Chamber of Commerce or a
Business Mems Club declaring any
thing favorable to union?

The ground hog came out of his
hole several weeks ago and got busy.
Now if some one would just poke
something into that county commits
sioners office and stir things up
perhaps he could wake the members
of that board long enough to go out
and repair some of the pixies so that
one could at least ride over them
without bouncing off the seat. 1t has
been said that this job is up to the
township trustees, maybe, but the
commissioners are responsible for our
pixies and it is up to them to see that
they are kept in decent shape. If it
is the township trustees job, it is up
to the commissioners to see that they

A JOB FOR EVERY WORKER.

A JOB FOR EVERY WORKER.
The perils that grow out of dis
employment of large numbers of men
ere increasing every day.
Dangerous situations arise any
where at any time when men are un-
employed and hungry. The danger
increases as women and children be-
Gin to suffer.
Much suffering exists in various
parts of the country where there is no
valid cause for it. Factories have
closed down, shipbuilding has been
discontinued, building operations de-
layed Indefinitely and conditions of
stagnation brought about through
timidity and lack of confidence.
There is no real reason for the
closing of a single industry that pro-
duces food, clothing, or any of the
necessities of life. There is no cause
underlying these conditions save the
cowardice and vacillation of certain
manufacturers. Many of these men
have made immense profits during the
war
Workers who have helped to run
up immense fortunes for their en-
ployers now find themselves facing
want because the doors of the factory
are closed. One of the most popular
excuses is the fear of overproductior
and stagnation of the market.
BY creating class of disemployed the
greatest, surest and most valuable
market any country can have is Grip
pied, stagnated and all but destroyed
With all of the workers in the Unit
ed States employed at good wages
the home market would be worth fal
more to the manufacturers and pro
ducers than complete conquest Of
the South American trade.
The whole world needs the products
Of North America. Europe will lool
TO US for for foodstuff, fuel, fibers
metals, timber and other products
which we can have in abundance.
Every industry, producing anything
but the munitions of war, should bt
running full blast.
Every building project should b'
put forward with all speed. There i,
a widespread demand for better hous
ing for the people. More building
should be begun at once.
Every public improvement enter.
prise should start without a days
delay. San Francisco has started
public works of various sorts which

are going to be the big cheese.
Now there's Johnny Cahalane who
has long ago announced himself for
the mayoraIity battle and of course
like all the rest he is going to get
some votes. What the outcome will
be nobody knows but some of the old
guys in the game are scratching their
well worn craniums and have a ling
ering suspicion that things might not
pan out just right.
Well at any rate they will be call
ing each other all kinds of ballsof-
whiskies and as usual-guess we will
have to stand for it.

Secretary Lincoln of the Chamber
of Commerce speaking to body of
Efarmers one night last week on the
Iadvisability of having county agent,
told them that if the farmers became
united in any one thing they would
be able to get what they wanted.
Evidently Mr.. Lincoln has never gone
into our court house square market
and asked the price of. butter, eggs,
poultry and vegetables or he would
Equickly realize how needless his ad-
vice that the farmers unite to get
what they want No more thorough
trust or price fixing organization ever
lexisted than that same bunch of far
liners who peddle their wares in oul
street market and to whom the house
wives and good ladies of our city pay
obeisance each Tuesday, Thursda!

Talk about unions, their demands
and so forth, did you ever see any
thing to equal that physicians organ
ization. Along side that physician
organization the labor unions are pix
ers. The physicians wouldn't think o
organizing or joining union, not ol
your life, they are not that common
They have an association? But whel
ii comes to making demands-man
They don't believe in strikes or walk
cuts-they simply get together AM
say you pay 81 for day-call and S
, for night call, or nothing dom O
course you don't have to call ply

of your loved ones get sick you cal
let them die or go without relief
That's organization for you. The uniol
men take their hats off and admit tha

Two years ago the Federal Asphalt
Paving Co., was awarded the contract
for paving west Main St. The job
wasn't done however because council
couldn't see things the same as the
board of control of that time, (poli-
tically) and refused to make appro-
priations covering the city's portion
of the cost. A few weeks ago the con-
tract for the same job, to the same
company, was awarded at a cost of
about $4,000 more than it could have
been done for two years ago. But

Superintendent of Schools Darrell
Joyce, who is also president of the
Citizens Booster Club, speaking be-
fore the club says he don't think the
electric light plant is a losing pro-
position as has been stated by few
persons. There are many others think
as Mr.. Joyce does and there are many,
many others that KNOW as Mr.
Joyce thinks. Yet there are some who
say we should abandon the plant and
buy current elsewhere. There seems
to be gentleman of dark color some
where in the wood-pile and unless we
miss our guess, gee-what a stir
that gentleman will create if dug out.
Judging from developements of the
past few weeks however, it is going
to take some deep digging to find him
as he is pretty deeply buried by this
time.

 By a cabIed addition on the text of the annex to the covenant received to- day by the State Department, in the list of original members, the names of the New South Wales was eliminated, and that of New Zealand added.
 Senator Moses of New Ham pshire, Republican, said that in his opinion some amendments to the United States constitution would be required in order to make the covenant effec- tive" although he thought that there had been some improvement in phraseology. He added that he still believed that the league would still thrust us into a mess that may occur in any part of the world" and fur nish another element in the delay in bringing about peace. He said the unanimous agreement provison is very vague"
 Senator Walsh of Montana, Demo- crat, said he was grateful that the covenant. reserved the Monroe Doc Urine from the authority of the league, and added that this would have a tendency to disarm many of the critics of the league.
