Fastnacht Dance
Arranged For By Monkeys.
Gene Mueller Becomes Chef.

The Monkey Mutual Aid Society
met in regular session Tuesday night
with a large attendance. The dance
committee reported that arrange
ments are being completed for the
Annual Fastnacht Dance to be held
March 4th This is always a big
event in Monkeydom and looked for
ward to with much pleasure by the
friends of the organization.
President Gus Mueller, who as chef
has made the Monkeys famous, while
not wanting to shirk any duty i'm
posed upon him, felt that the dignity
of his position was being lowered when
he went from the highest position in
the order to the head of the culinary
department and therefore laid down
the honors of chef, Gene Mueller was
selected to succeed President Mueller
as chef, and while not in any way re-
lated to the president, the members
felt that none but a Mueller could
fill the position and fill it right. And
they made no mistake. Such spread
as Gene did lay out, say-he won

War Chest Committee
Reports On Receipts And Expendi-
lures To January lst.
Subscribers Urged To Pay Up AS Much Money Will Be
Needed For Care of Soldiers And Many Worthy Causes

The calls at this time that seem
worthy of support total about
$4,000.
Subtracting from: the payments to
January first the disbursements made
to January first and those which are
reasonably sure to be made in the
near future leaves $29, 1927.
The Disbursement Committee early
agreed to reserve as per cent of the
receipts of the War Chest for the
American Red Cross, 80 per cent to
the Y. M. C. A, 1-2 per cent to the
Women's National League, 1-2 per
cent to the Salvation Army, 1-5 per
cent to the purchase of Smileage
Books, 1-2 per cent to the Children's
Welfare Ohio Branch Council Nat
ional Defense-a total reservation of
TIT per cent. 1t was known that
there would be further reservation
for the Knights of Columbus and the
Jewish Welfare Society but before
/ the request from these organizations
came in and We're acted upon, they
We're combined with the Y. NJ C. A.
ETC., under the United War Work.
and they are covered in our quota
for the United War Work. The Wom-
ems League for National Defense will
not use all the money which was re-
served for it and the unexpended part
will go back into the general fund to
be subject to future reservations of
appropriations.
The amount to be paid to the Unit
ed War Work Fund approximately
100000 will it seems come within the
80 per cent of the receipts which was
reserved for the Y. M. G. A.
1t is the intention to publish in the
daily papers at once list of sub
scribers to the War Chest Fund Civ
ing name, address and amount sub
scribed
The subscriptions will be published
by political divisions, i. e. city of
Hamilton, Oxford, Reilly, Morgan, etc.
The delay in publishing this list has
been occasioned by the immense
amount of work incident to receiving
and crediting payments and the pre-
paration of lists for publication.
Subscribers are urged to pay in
at once the amounts due at this date.
1t will undoubtedly be necessary
at the close of the year to publish
the list of unpaid subscriptions, if
there are any such, to show the diff
erence between the total amount sub
scribed and the amount collected.

These men are entitled to our best

They proved they were souls of high

tion promised by the sacrifices of the
Great War.
Not to make friends and open the

Workers Exploited.
In Alaska Fisheries And Can
ming Industries.

San Francisco,-The labor council
has called on the federal department
of labor to investigate conditions in
the Alaska fisheries and canning in
dustry, which is operated by Chinese
who secure contracts from the com
panies.
1t is stated that the government an
nually propagates millions of fish and
turns them loose in the waters of the
territory of Alaska and the contrac-
tors exploit workers who are recruited
by glowing advertisements in Paci-
fic coast towns from the lowest strata
of all nationalities. The police courts
aid the contractors by giving prison
ers the option of going to Jail or to
Alaska to can fish.
When the employe steps on a boat
bound for the Alaska fishing grounds
there is little chance for him to leave
until the boat returns. The employe
signs contract which few under
stand, if they can read--to remain
through the season. Practically all of
the provisions of this contract are
against the worker, and when the
season is over he generally receives
one-half of the wages he was engaged
for. The good American food"
proves to be of the Chinese standard
and the worker is compelled to pay
for decent food.
Employees work in fish slime, acid,
lye, and steam, which causes sores to
