SOCIAL UNIT PLAN
Rapidly Gaining Support of
Labor Leaders.

Is labor interested in community
organization John Walker, of the
United Mine Workers, ex-president of
the Illinois Federation of Labor
thinks that labor is. A few weeks ago
Mr.. Walker was sert out to Cincin-
natl, Ohio, by John F. Frey, editor of
the Iron Molders' Journal, who is on
the National Board of the Social Unit
organization, to make an investigation
of the social unit plan Of community
organization from the point of view
of organized labor. The social unit
plan is aimed at doing away with
charity and paternalism, by building
a community organization thru which
the people can do things for them
selves. 1t has been making test of
its principles in section of Ciacin-
natl. Under this plan the people are
organized by blocks, and every person
over 18 is given a vote in the election
Of a block worker to represent him on
a central community council Occu-
pational groups of the neighborhood
are also organized as democratic bod
les to help plan neighborhood pro-
grams and to furnish the skill which
is necessary to meet the needs which
are discovered in the blocks
Mr.. Walker was skeptical about this
plan of organization in advance to his
visit to the Mohawk Brighton dis
trict; he says SO in this article He
was afraid that it was an "organiza-
ton dominated by theorists" But he
found upon investigation that it was
''an organization of the people them
selves dominated by the workers them
selves" and one in which all organiz-
ed labor should be interested Speak
ing before the National Convention of
the Social Unit organization last week
Mr.. Walker urged that committee
from organized labor should be APP
pointed to cooperate in the develop
ment Of this idea to secure the interest
Of labor, and to see that the point Of
view of labor is represented.
Stanley 0gg represented local labol
at the convention in Cincinnati, anl
rendered a detailed report Of its pro
ceedings to Trades Council last week
Brother Ogg has become an enthus
iastic booster Of the movement, anc
declares that it is the plan long sought
by the working people and that j
should have every support of organ

George Cohan's famous play which S
to be given Sunday and Monday, No
vember 16 and IL, at the high school
auditorium, under the auspices of the
knights Of Columbus, promises to be
the leading theatrical event Of til

their last performance on October 30.
Edgar K. Wagner, chairman Of the
play, announces that nearly 5000 tick
cts are in circulation, and that two
packed houses should greet the play
ers. The play is a melodramatic farce,
full of excitement all the way through,
and deserves the patronage Of the
local playgoers.

THE COAL STRIKE.

The miners temporarily lose, but
they will gain in the end, as the ac-
tion of tLeir acting president and
other officials in bowling to the de
cree of tie federal court because OF
patriotism and loyalty to their coun-
try has brought much public senti-
ment and sympathy to the side Of
their cause. And public sentiment IS
much to be reckoned with these days
and public sympathy much to be de-
sired. Because of the public not thor
oughly understanding the situation,
public sentiment was very much
against the miners in their strike.
Many believed that the miners demand
for six-hour day and fiye-day week
was preposterous and ridiculous when
the average man works at least 40
hours week. And this would be true
but the public not understanding,
doesn't know that the miners today,
under the present system only get to
work 20, "a and % hours per week
and that they barely exist on the
wages they receive for this short time
that they work. The public doesn't
understand that the miners in their
demands insist that they be allowed
to work at least 80 hours per week.
This is the real situation. The op-
orators won't allow the miners to work
more than two or three days week,
and sometimes not that mucn, in or
der to keep production lower than the
demand in order that they might keep
up the high price of coal. In other
words, if the demand is for 100 tons
of coal, the operators won't let the
men produce more than 95 tons, know
ing that if the supply exceeds the de-
nand, prices will be hammered down

ARMTSTICE DAY

Thanks to the patriotic spirit of the
junior high school students, Armis-
tice Day was fairly appropriately
celebrated IN Hamilton. 1t was up to
these youngsters to do and prepare
in few hours what some whose duty
it is to look after these things could
MT do in a year. One evening paper
announced on Monday evening that
the shops, stores and other places of
business would not close to celebrate
the day because of the short notice
of time in getting plans made, but
that the service men would be per-
mitted to attend the Armistice Day
parade and patriotic meeting. No
doubt it was intended that the SER
vice men parade around by themselves
while everybody else stayed on the
job. The manufacturer and the store
keeper are not to be blamed they
were wiling that ali their employees
go out and celebrate if they desired
to do SO, but the employers We're all
at sea as just what to do. There
didn't seem to be any head to the
thing, all were willing to do what the
others would do. Too short notice
was given as the reason for not being
prepared. OF course, there has only
been just one year since the last
Armistiee Day celebration and it may
be that the time was too short. Any
way we owe it to the junior high
school pupils for the celebration We
had The day should have been onc
grand, big, boisterous celebration and
Hamilton should have been in the lea
of all celebrations, not at the tail end
Was some one again asleep at this
switch? The Press desires to an
nounce right now that Armistice Day
will again come around on NovembeY
18th, 1920 and it is hoped that those
whose duty it is to take up the OBJ
seryance of the day will be on tn,
job. Perhaps the republican senat,

and the peace treaty viii be signe.
and the war actually over, so that W,
will have more cause for celebrating
the day The Press will from tim,
to time call attention to the approach

APPLY 1T TO ALL.

Speaking Of the Lever food and
control act as applied in the case Of
the coal miners before Federal Judge
A. B. Anderson and on which grounds
Judge Anderson based his decision,
the Cincinnati Post makes the fol-
lowing comment:
The ruling Of A. B. Anderson, fed
eral judge commanding the caneella-
tion Of tha coal strike order, estab-
fishes thar the Lever food and fuel
control act still is in operation
The government insists that the
Lever act must be made effective t3
the last detail,
The pa5fc now expects the govern
ment to n9ke the Lever act effective
in every branch Of the business world.
1t is not law dealing solely with
the coal ir3ustry
fundamentally it is designed to pro
tect the public against profiteers.

Whenever you do business with the
coal operators, the railroad magnates,
the Standard Oil interests, the pack
ing house manipulators and the cloth
ing combine, you are submitting to
the best bunch of collective bargain
ers the world has ever produced. They
can tie up the country with the push
of button with their ever soaring
prices and untold profits and our gov
ernment dare not stop them. Collec-
tive bargaining with the man who
tolls is un-American, but with the
trusts it IS perfectly lawful.

and their profits will be less. So,
that they and their families might
live partly according to the standards
of American living, is the real rea-
son for the "preposterous" and ridic-
ulous" demand for 30-hour week and
60 per cent increase. The public will
wake up to the real facts in this great
strike some day and then they viii
learn that the coal operators are not
the great philanthropists they would
be made to apepar by the capitalistic
press.

1t is failing to afford that protec-
ton.
The Lever act makes it unlawful to
hoard, monopolize or attempt to mo-
nopolize any necessaries, particularly
food and clothing.
1t makes the charging of unjust or
unreasonable prices violation of
law.
For any of these offenses the Lever
act provides a fine of $4,000 or i'm
prisonment for not more than two
years, or both.
In direct defiance of the Lever act
profiteers are continuing to charge
excessive prices.
The government has conducted long
and costly Investigations of hoarders
and profiteers.
1t can new place its finger instantly
on those hoarders and profiteers.
For, on oct. 20, Howard Figg, spe-
cial assistant United States attorney
general, said in public statement:
BY Nov. / we viii know the loca-
ton of every pound of food in the
United States. And we are going to
keep a daily check on it to determine
where it goes"
High prices can be reduced by ap-
plying the Lever act to food and cloth
ing profiteers with the same ripidity
with which it is now applied to the
coal strike.
It should be so applied. It must be
so applied.
The Lever act is in effect for the
coal miners and their strike. Put It
also in effect for every other class
or situation covered by its terms

This is the quality of street car

Ohio Electric company to give the
public better service, and nothing will
be done until the people rise up in
their might and compel them to act.

promised new cars, but where are
these new cars after years of wait

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moist
en- the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, OF
YOUR datldruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace OF
it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will
be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need
