COLUMBIA BRIDGE
The Monument to NOn-Un-
ion Labor Is Fast Being
Washed Out.

London bridge is falling down, fall
ing down, falling down, so the old
song goes. This time it is the CO.
lumbia bridge right here in Hamilton
that is falling down. Attention of
the public was called to this startling
fact by an evening newspaper Tues
day of this week. The Press and
many people knew all about it months
ago, but The Press refrained from
commenting on the fact for the rea-
son that all non-union labor was en-
ployed on the bridges construction
and the first thing that would be said
by some would be that The Press was
knocking the bridge because union la
Dor didn't build it, The Press knew
that sooner or later The facts would
have to come out. So the announce
ment made by the evening paper was
not at all unexpected
The newspaper said the city has
been stung. And we might add that
the city has been stung right The
only thing is that many people had
to wait quite while before feeling
the stinger. Close observers, many
of whom watched the construction of
the brigde, knew at the time that the
stinger was working its way in deep.
Everyone connected seemed to know
it but the county commissioners who
are really responsible for the beauti-
full stinging>and gouging that the city
got.
The whole job is beautiful and
handsome CD monument to non-union
labor which was employed on the
structure throughout. Many attempt
were made to induce the contractor
to employ union labor, but without
avail. The contractor evidently knew
that union labor knew too much about

and goes well with a manner SO un-
assuming and demure as to make her
the center of attraction upon all oc-
casions of the gathering of the ac-
| quaintances she has formed during
the few long years she has been ac-
quiring her education. Of course, too,
there are some young gentlemen in
the graduating classes, but they do
not count; as least. they do not count

time with the twenty-six accomplish
| ed young ladies and ambitious young
gentlemen who comprise this years

h,,f n
pared, and a thousand and one things

friends who will be present upon
this occasion.
Then comes the grand event of the
week, Commencement night, which
will be Friday night, the Goth. The
exercises will be held at the Armory,
and in connection with the regular
program, the address of Prof. c. S.
Richardson, of the Maryland State

The proclamation follows: "Where-
as, the President of the United States
in his address to the congress Of the
United States on August 8, 1919, has
called attention to grave conditions
of distress confronting large numbers
of our people by reason of constantly
rising living costs, due to the perver-
sion of the ordinary laws of supply
and demand and to the activities Of
spectators and profiteers in the ne
cessities of life; and
Whereas, these conditions are Of
special concern to the people of the
Southern States in view of their abso-
lutte dependence upon the cotton indus
try as the basis of their well being,
and especially in view of the fact that
cotton prices have entirely failed to
keep pace with the prices of manufac-
tured products and other commodi-
tics which they must buy;
therefore, we, as governors of the
States of Albania, Arkansas, Florida,

AT TENEMENT WINDOWS TO
HEAR MUSIC.
BY Chas. d. IsaacsOn in the New York
Globe.

Globe.
The crowd isn't as we'll dressed as
that which fills the Stadium, nor is it
as well fixed in the various walks of
life. But it is crowd hungry for
music and feeding on it as it does no
other audience in the world.
l am talking of the Globe free sum-
mer concerts in Brownsville, the
densely settled. To the casual observer
here is a little Warsaw-the streets
are crowded, the atmosphere is
strangely different than that seen in
the more cosmopolitan sections of the
city. The pushcarts with pickles and
notions are in abundance; the people
are poorly dressed, and there are chill
dren plenty.
Here the Globe concerts are sent for
the very charity of it, for the dire
needs of the people, for the relaxation
afforded them in the tense strain of a
summer, hot and bearing in addition
the worry Of the increasing cost of
living.
Let me sketch for our readers the
picture of the Brownsville concerts.
AS many of you sit in your easy
chairs on the porch admiring the pur-
plish mountains or surf, you will the
more realize the picturesqueness Of
the setting and the far-reaching eff
fects of the events.
In the crowded part of the neigh
borhood was large, ugly lot, which
spread half way down a block, spraw-
ling and filthy. The Hebrew Educa-
tional Alliance, in cooperation with
the Globe music department, decided
to level off the site, erect a brilliant
ly lighted stage and soundboard, and
place thousands of chairs. At the
opening Of the first concert it looked
as if the crowds would be unmanage-
able. The grounds were open-no
fence. About 1000 were seated, about
$500 were standing, curious, excited,
waiting for the unknown.
The audience was most unusual
there were grandmothers, grandchil-
dren, dressed in home comfort fashion,
men without collars although the
weather was rather cool; young boys
and girls; and the night-it was Won
derful.
The crowds were settled. At the
first word the place was quiet as If
church service were being conducted.
When it was all over the crowd hadn't
diminished-though thousands had
been standing for two hours.
Most interesting during the concert
were the scenes in the surrounding
tenement houses within hearing dis
lance. The fronts of the houses were
mass Of bobbing heads-from each
window could be seen children and
grown-ups nestled together and listen
ing intently.
