TUBULAR STEEL FENCE POSTS.

National Crop Improvement Service.
There are two classes of steel posts !:
Those made from old railroad rail
stocks and those made of steel of spe
cial composition to meet the physical
requirements of the post. The forms
of steel and iron posts have been flats,
angles, channels, tees and tubes. The
tubular post has many advantages in
that it is strong on account of its
shape. 1t has tongues which are q
part of the post, avoiding the danger
of loosened staples. This post is by
far the handsomest post, as it is pro-

can be quickly and securely attached.
In driving a galvanized steel tubular
post, the bottom will spread funnel

earth forces itself in and around the

perfect anchor.

Steel posts are protected against
rust by painting which will last only
a short time. or by galvanizing or
coating with zine which makes the post
practically fndestructible.

Loss of Appetite

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss Of appetite, and
if you skip a meal or only eat two
meals day for a few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in mind
that at least five hours should always
elapse between meals so as to give
the food ample time to digest and the
stomach period Of rest before a sec
ond meal is taken. Then if you eat
no more than you crave and take q
reasonable amount of outdoor exer-
else every day you will not need to
worry about your appetite. When
the loss of appetite is caused by con-
stipation as is often the case, that
should be corrected at once. A dose
of Chamberlain's Tablets will do it.

Nearly everybody in Knoxville.

in St.Paul, Mimi.
On account of generally failing
health Capt. Patty was forced to dis
continue active work and for the past
few years has been making his home
IN Knoxville, where he numbers his
friends by his acquaintance. He is
kind, genial gentleman of the old
school and is beloved by all who know
him. The following interesting state
ment was made by him in person to
the Tanlac representative:
i am 90 years old and always en-
Joyed good health up to about six
years ago, when | suffered a nervous
breakdown and my general health
gradually failed me. My principal
trouble was indigestion and catarrah,

out of shape. My condition finally

that was sufficient proof for me.

Atlanta, Ga. = Former President
William Howard Taft endorsed or
ganized labor and advocated the es-
enlistment of policy of tolerance
on the part of both employer and en-
ploye at the closing session of the
southern congress of the league of
nations, at the Auditorium. Mr.. Taft
declared that the plans for establish
ment of league of nations has the
hearty endorsement of organized la
Dor of America and added further
that such a union is the promise made
by the United Workingmen of the
country to their brothers in Europe
Unions should be organized, he
said, and employers should deal with
their workers through the unions. By
encouraging the unions to vote the

(By Milton Bronner)

Detroit, Mich. - Industrially the
brightest spot in Detroit-if not in
the United States--is the huge Ford
automobile plant at Highland Park.
When so many factories are cutting
down forces, Ford has kept every one
of his 100000 people. When big en-
ployers' associations promptly said,
wages would have to come down, Ford
increased his minimum from SIS to
Sc per day. When Pittsburg and De-
troit are leading in the fight on the
eight-hour day, Ford makes eight
hours cardinal part of his platform
When others fire men for belonging
to a union, Ford allows his men to
belong to any union they see fit.
Don't get the idea his system is
perfection There are labor leaders
here who object to the paternalism
in vogue in the Ford plant. There
are others who tell you the work is
constantly speeded up. Others speak
of the deadly monotony of doing the
one thing over and over again in this
tremendously standardized plant.
They will tell you of workmen who
quit Ford to work for less pay else
where.
But when all objections are weighed
/ it's still the best plant in the country.
For one thing, when a man applies
for job he is not tyrannically asked
the question; "Do you belong to a
union?" Instead, Ford wants to
know something about the human be-
ing: Is he married? What depend
ents has he? Etc. And once signed
on, it's hard to be fired No foreman
can do it. He can report on a man
and possibly have him transferred
from his department to another, but
that is as far as he can go.
! Let's watch this new employe and
see how the system works. Say his
name is John Saboski. He starts in
at so cents an hour for an eight-hour
day. He is taught one simple thing
and does it. Before 90-day period
passes a representative of the educa-
tional department of the Ford factory
visits him in his home. 1t is explain
ed the company wants to know as
much about him as he knows about
the company. 1t wants to keep II
personal touch with him. 1t wants
to know what kind of home he lives
in,whether he has any money saved
up, carries any life insurance or is in
vesting in a home.
If he intends to buy a home, he is

Low Wage Level
Rejected BY War Labor
Board.

Washington-Th national war la
Dor board rejects the claim of Madi-
son (Wis) employers that because
wages paid by them are as high, or
higher, than are paid by the state
of Wisconsin and the city of Madison,
wage level "is established which
it would be unwise to change or dis
turb."
This argument has little force, y
says the board Carried to it's logi-
cal conclusion, workers would always
be required to accept low wages, pro-
vided the majority in the same COM
munity received low wages. 1t would
always mean reduction to the low
est level, which is neither just to the
worker or the community as whole
"In any event, there is no just com
parison between workers in factories
and those employed by state or mu.
nicipal authorities. Certainly low
wages paid by the latter can not
rightfully constitute the just measure
for the former.
"The test is not so much what tn,
level is, as how that level measures
up with the cost of living Workmel
are entitled to comfortable living
wages, and no comparisons tina
might be presented are sufficient t.
overturn or outweigh that principle.

CAN'T SHELYE SAFETY LAWS.
Harrisburg, Pa-The Pennsylvania
railroad has been nouned by PuDllc
Service Commissioner Brecht that
safety laws are not shelved just be-
cause the road is controlled by Uncle
Sam
The commission ordered the COM
pany to establish better protection of
life at crossing and the company
questioned the commissions iurisdic-

The railroad was notified that
when it appears that the safety of
the public is imperiled at railroad

duty of this commission, under the
law, to assume responsibility in the
matter and take the necessary steps

is squirming under the criticism of
workers because of his refusal to
permit a trade union meeting being
held in this city on behalf of employ
es of the steel trust.
The mayor overlookes the principle
involved and blames mill employees.
He says his action was taken "at
the behest of many of the men en-
ployed here" Trade unionists ac-
cept the mayors statement that
mill emp.oyes appealed to him. The

any action and that the mayor of a
city is hard pressed for an excuse

behind these employees while violat-
ing his oath of office

will be given a deeper and more seri-
Gus consciousness of the part they
have played and are playing in the
worlds affairs. Mr. Taft said and
the establishment of such a feeling
would do more toward breaking down
the wave of discomfort and bolshe-
vism now spreading over the country
than anything else possibly could do
While endorsing the clause of la
Dor and lauding their grounds for de
manding higher wages for their work
Mr. Taft declared the companies
which have to pay these higher sal
aries should be given increases in the
revenue which would make up for the
greater expenditures
Mr.. Taft said that he is heartily in
favor of the scheme of collective
bargaining"

A-Hour Week Gained
For 25O,000 Garment Work
ers Won In Three Months
Strike.

New York-The Amalgamated Clo-
thing Workers of America have COM
PEELED the establishment of the A
hour week for 250,OOO workers in
every clothing manufacturing center
of the United States and Canada,
through the general strike of $4,000
members in Greater New York The
strike lasted for 13 weeks and has re-
suited in a sweeping victory
The original demands of the New
York workers were for the 44-hour
week and Is per cent increase in
wages The Manufacturers Asso-
citation replied to these demands with
an offer which practically called up
on the workers to surrender the gains
that they made during the past 10
years by placing the whole issue of
working standards and working con-
ditions in the hands of an arbitra
tion board The workers refused this
offer and the strike continued. Num-
bers of small manufacturers settled
but the larger manufacturers, knit
| firmly together in powerful organ
ization, refused to deal further with
the workers. The strike was finally
settled by an advisory board which
undertook to adjudicate the question
of wages.
The success of the workers in this
struggle for the 44-hour week makes
possible the establishment of an equal
ly short working week in other man
ufacturing industries. President
Sydney Hillman of the Amalgamated
stated, after the announcement of the
success of the strike, that every eff
fort would be made to spur other
unions to establish like working
week
"The 44-hour week should be es-
tablished Immediately in every in
dustry as a reconstruction problem
to meet the serious problem of un-
employment" said President Hillman
Reports are being received of ever
increasing employment in every part
of the country. Soon hundreds Of
thousands of men and women will be
idle, unless there is a national reduc-
tion of the workday to provide places
in the factories, mills and mines for
those who are idle and for the mil
lions of boys who are returning to
industry from service in the nations
fighting forces.
"The establishment of the 44-houl
week in all industries will not only
! provide places for the soldiers anc
sailors who are returning to the jobs
they left at the beginning of the war
but also will insure to all workers 9
minimum amount of leisure in which
to enjoy life, in which to become bet
ter workers and better citizens. The
leisure that is afforded the worker
with the 44-hour week is the minimum
that labor can accept The worker
who is forced to work longer than 44
hours a week is being robbed of life.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1919-03-07

1t seems, however, that Immediately
upon the men walking out at that
time, the firm started in on exten-
sive repairs and were not ready to
receive the men, promising though,
that they would put back to work as
fast as they could use them, all the
former employees.
This they have failed to do. They
have been placing men other than the
old employees. When the committee
called to demonstrate against this dis
crimination, the officials of the firm
refused to meet them. On Monday at
meeting of the employees it was de-
cided that unless the firm received
the committee by noon Tuesday, those
working would quit. On Tuesday the
committee again called at the office
but were declined an audience. At
1:15 that day the men were ordered
to quit work, pending an adjustment
of the differences.
