BACK TO THE FULL SKIRT.
Railroad Officials State Abbreviated
Garment Causes Late Trains.

Philadelphia, Jan. G1-Tight skirts
worn by women passengers have up
set schedules on the railroads.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, with
scientific accuracy. has found that
since women have begun wearing
tight skirts the average stopping time
of a train at a station is now seven
teen seconds longer than it was when
the skirts were short and roomy
around the bottom.
In reply to a complaint of the South
Jersey Commuters Association that
trains were not run on time the man
agement gave this information and
stated that unless styles in skirts
change very soon the running time ot
local trains must be heightened.

world flooded with wealth of pro-
posals for speedy arrival in Utopia.
Bolshevism, one big unionism, COM
munism-these are but the more
prominent of the notions that have
been thrust into the arena of public
concern as the result of the war.
We are told that these are new
ideas and that through adoption of
them lies salvation. Away with the
old for a plunge into the new!
If the contest were merely one be
tween the old and new it might be one
simpler of solution. But, as is often
the case, we are confronted, not only
with the old and the new, but with the
tried and untried, the practical and the
abstract, the workable and the un-
workable
America has no fear of the new, if
it works. America has no use for the
new, if it doesn't work.

Not trying to tell you how to vote,
brother, but we do want to call your
attention to the good roads PROPOSE
tion for which it is proposed that you
vote an extra one mill levy on all
taxable property in the county. With
out doubt it is to the best interest of
labor that this proposition carry, as
labor will be most benefited by it.
The cost of the building of roads is
estimated at from rs to so per cent
labor: 1t will mean employment for
hundreds of men if the measure car
ries. Good roads means a closer COM
munication between farm and city and
this means cheaper foodstuffs. Good
roads means more motor vehicles and
this means employment for thousands.
So one thing leads to another, benef-
cial to labor, all due directly to good
roads. So, while it cost the taxpayers
little more each year, we believe
that it will be money well spent and
invested and advise the support of
the measure. At least think it over.

ganize for the purpose of bargaining
collectively and to be represented by
representatives of their own choosing!
This happened in Washington.
John Spargo told the conference
that in his grandfather's day it was
crime to belong to union, but that
by the time he himself Joined the
union some thirty years ago the ques-
tion of the unions legality had been
settled. He said that in his own union
experience he never had known what
it meant to be denied the right to join
his fellows in collective bargaining.
And yet facing him sat men who
were contesting that right-admitting
it in the abstract, yet seeking so to
hedge it about in practice as to de-
stroy the meaning and value Of it.
These are strange and wondrous
days. Great dangers are about US,
yet men in high places walk and talk
as if the age-old answer of the bour-
bon could suffice to solve the prob
lem. That such conduct throws
greater burden upon the constructive
labor movement is something they do
not comprehend. That the human
brain will go on thinking and striving
toward the realization of ideals is
something that they do not under
stand It is too bad.

The Hamilton Daily News in its
issue last Saturday took, what it
deems IAN awful slam" at organized
labor On Monday night it took an
other one at organized labor, via the
"preposterous work time of 30 hours
per week" demanded by the coal min
ers. These attacks are not the real
thought nor the real belief of the News
editor. They couldn't be- They
couldn't be the real thought or belief
Of any human being, and we are will
ing to believe that, with all his other
/ faults, the News editor is only hu-
man. The attacks are simply to ap-
pease the thought and the belief Of a
few, a very, very few of the employer
stockholders of the News who demand
that organized labor be kicked, ham
mered and pounded at every oppor-
tunity We know that the greater ma
io1ity of the stockholders are pretty
good fellows and really don't approve
of such tactics Of the editor, but simp-
ly don't want 10 butt in. Speaking
Of the 80 hour week or six-hour day
demanded by the miners, can you i'm
agine the News editor digging coal
down in the bowels of the earth for six
hours at a stretch, five days in sue
cession? Preposterous! Preposterou'

Organized labor is anxiously await
ing the report of the grand jury.
Labor is particularly interested in the
cases of J. White and R. L. King, who
brutally beat up Joe Bell, a union man,
September 18th in Lindenwald. Be
fore the report is made, we might say
that Labor will not be surprised if
these cases are completely ignored by
the grand jury, as such has been the
case before where it has been strike
breakers as against union men. We
might also add that the sluggers in
volved are employed at the Hamilton
Machine Tool Company's plant, where
a strike by the machinists fourishes

An evening paper on Monday night
calls attention to the city's garbage
question. It also mentions the fact
that Mayor George Karb, of Colum-
bus, recently made the statement that
the garbage plant of Columbus had
netted that city $4,000 during the
past year. That's all right, brother,
but if you will look up the issue of
the Butler County Press of September
26 you will find that we said the same
thing and we also gave Mayor Karb's
statement of just now the thing was
done. We also suggested at that time
that the city dads go into the ques-
ton at once, but to date nothing has
been done Of course it is realized
that the dads are very busy these days
Investigating the one-man car system
and all other things must lay over un-
til this important question is disposed
of.

torneys stated they would show.
This testimony will be introduced to

Edna Clancy, News half-sister. and
his mother, Mrs. Lily Burger. are ex-
pected to be the last witnesses placed
on the stand.
Miss Clancy will reveal, it was re-
ported. that she told Miss Lesser of
the circumstances surrounding the
birth of New, alleged toJbe the son OF
United\States Seaotor New of Indiana
and Mrs. Burger. She did this. it was
stated, in a last attempt to prevent
the marriage of her alf-brother and
Miss Lesser because she believed the
bar sinister would prove a bar to
their happiness Miss Lesser and Miss
Clancy were intimate friends
