HAMILTON MACHINE
TOOL CO.
Having It's Troubles Trying
To Hold Machinists
Brought Here

The Hamilton Machine Tool Com
pany is surely having its troubles
these days. As everybody knows there
has been a strike on at this plant by
the machinists and the company knows
it better than everybody Strikebreak
ers under the leadership of Mister
White have been brought in in car
load lots. The strikebreakers are
claimed to be real machinists. 1t is
to laugh. They are placed in the plant
and given hammer and told to pound
around on some old boiler and the
fireman is instructed to start clouds
of smoke out of the stack, thereby
giving the plant some semblance of
running and the officials stand around
and say "see, how busy we are!" The
production however, must be very
light, as very little leaves the shop.
Again-it is to laugh,
This old gag is so old and moth
eaten that even the strikebreakers are
surprised that the company tries to
work it. But they should worry, as
long as the easy money is coming to
them. But how long is the easy money
to come? That is the question. True,
Brandon Millikin, when receiver for
the company, placed huge sum in
the treasury of the firm, but even this
large amount can't last forever at
the rate the present management is
setting the company back. 1t looks
as though it will not be long until
some of the stockholders viii be ask
ing for Mr. Millikin's return.
1t is told that one day last week,
seven men brought here to work in
the plant, upon being told on their
way to dinner that there was a strike
on at the plant, never even stopped
for dinner, but returned to the shop
for their belongings and Immediately
left the city. These men claimed that
the situation had been misrepresented
to them and that they would pass the
word along as to the real conditions
existing in the plant. In the mean
time the strike is still on and the
strikebreakers are travelling in threes
and fours.

The completed draft of the conven-
tion creating a permanent organization
for the promotion of labor interests and
international regulation of labor condi-

of the general conference will be held
at least once yearly. The conference
will include representatives of the en-

may be accompanied by two advisers,

at least one OF the advisers should be

The conference will meet at the seat

has proved satisfactory. In certain
trades already largely employing wom-
en-, such as the clothing and boot and
shoe industries, women have shown
capacity to take up, and to carry out
completely and satisfactorily, many Of
the Snore skilled processes hitherto re
served for men, and have acquired
mastery Of the whole range of opera
tions in other trades. like light leather
tanning, which they had barely touched
before the war. Moreover they have
displayed unexpected readiness for
work which at first sight seemed high
ly unsuitable for them, carrying out
hot, heavy wet and dirty operations
with courage, steadiness and success.
There is, therefore, a body of indus
tries and operations offering a hope
full field of fresh employment to wom-
en-, where their war experience can be
turned to account, and should prove a
national asset of great value.

against the Rasola cigar, manufac-

An appeal is now being made to
the union men of this vicinity to re-

cigars. The union label agitation com

accosted by merchants and dealers
that union men should be educated not

that way diminish and eventually
eliminate the sale of such cigars as
the Rasola. Union men who smoke
non-union made cigars are not only
unfair to employers of organized la
Dor, but are also violating union prin-
ciples.
The Rasola and 1922 cigars are
made by cheap labor faker who is
paying less than one-half the union
scale to manufacture this cigar.
We earnestly solicit the co-opera-
tion and moral support of all organ
lied labor to lend a helping hand in
an agitation against the Rasola and
1922 cigars until the manufacturers

The British home office has issued
a memorandum upon the substitution
Of women in nonammunition factories.
The memorandum states that the re-
ports of the home office inspectors
show that substitution has proceeded
on two main lines. On the one hand.
in the trades in which women were
largely employed before the war they
have now been introduced into skilled
and semiskilled processes normally re-
served for men, as well as into a num-
Der of subsidiary laboring operations;
on the other it has been found neces-
sary to employ them in important in
dustries from which custom or the ma
ture of the work carried on had hither-
to entirely or almost entirely excluded
them.
While substitution had in many cases
been found most successful in these in
dustries where women were already at
work in some sections, and where the
work to be carried on was obviously
suitable for them, there have been
many striking exceptions to this rule.
There was comparatively little sue
cessful substitution in the textile
trades, but on the other hand, when
women were brought, frequently with
reluctance, into certain trades and oc-
cupations which from the nature and
conditions of the work are held in nor
NAL times to be quite unsuitable for
female labor, they often did remark
ably we'll
Reports show also that in a great
preponderance of cases substitution

settled with their employers without a
strike and secured a satisfactory new
wage rate. The union secured also
change in the system of work which
eliminates piece work, and hereafter
they will be paid overtime for work
in excess of 5 hours. The wage rate
for coatmakers varies from $17.00 for
helpers to $4,000 per week for opera
tors. Vest makers and pants makers
will receive $27Oo per week for first
class men and women, and $17.00 is
the minimum. Bushelmen receive

EASY To DARkEN
YOUR CRAY HAIR
Try this! Brush Sage Tea and Sui
phur Compound through your
hair, taking ono strand
at time.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because It's done so naturally,
so evenly Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and
troublesome At little cost you can
buy at any drug store the ready-to-
use preparation, improved by the
addition of other ingredients called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" You just dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. BY morning all
gray hair disappears, and. after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and az we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger.
