Changing
Organized Labor Gaining Fast
In Open Shop City Of
Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, es,-This city has boast
ed of the fact that it is an open shop
city where the newspaper editorials
are inspired by the advertisements
and the advertisers are controlled by
the merchants and manufacturers
association, whose only legitimate ex-
cuse for sexistance is to circumvent
the organization of labor unions, in
crease hours and reduce pay of the
wage Garner. Recently the worker
has been aroused to the danger by
which he is surrounded and is moving
along on safe and sane lines at rate
of speed hardly to be believed by the
doubling Thomases in and out of the
ranks of organized labor The fact
has been brought home to the more
astute business men of the city that
a Sc day worker is more profitable to
the interests of the city than a So a
day man; and also that the Saturday
half holiday has increased the buying
opportunities of the wealth producers
by giving them more time to make
their purchases.

What was easily the biggest meet
ing, outside mass meeting ever held
by the Carpenters and Joiners Local
Union No. 637, was the one held by
that organization on last Thursday
night The hall was literally packed
and the standing room only" sign
was hung out early.
A great amount of routine business
was transacted and big class initi-
ated Twelve members Of the craft
from outside locals came in on clear
ance cards. Several new applications
were read.
Swain Corson, business agent of the
organization during the past year,
was unanimously elected to serve an
other year Brother Corson has been
faithful and efficient official and is
more than deserving of the honor of
reelection.
Brother Corson reported thai the
outlook for building conditions and for
the members of the craft is brighter
today than ever in the history of the
organization He said Hamilton is

terers, painters, electrical workers,
cement workers, laborers, etc, so that
in all there will be 1900 to 1900 men
engaged in the building line alone in
Hamilton And business agent Cor
son gives assurance that ali these will
be kept busy and many more if they
can be secured.
The East Vine Street Improvement
is progressing nicely. The frame
work on the first one of the new homes
in this addition was started on week
ago last Monday. An attempt is be-
ing made to have rs foundations in
here by spring. 1t is said that the
company back of the Vine street i'm
provement contemplate the erection
of $50 homes in that locality alone.
In addition to the above the Ham
ilton Home Building Company will
build many new homes, the big Ford
plant will be started on about March
1st, the Long & Allstatter Co., are
now making big addition to their
plant on North Fourth Street and
will make extensive improvements on
the old McNeal & Urban plant on the
West Side in which they will manu-
facture agricultural implements and
several other of our factories are
going to build big additions to their
plants. 1t is also said that their will
be big ice and storage plant erect
ed in Hamilton during the coming
summer.
In addition to the above many work
ingmen are going to build their own
homes. All in all the situation was
never brighter for the building trades
of Hamilton than they are at the
present.

Several prominent members of the
party have been mentioned as pos
sible nominees for the office of mayor
and many thought that former Mayor
Fred Hinkel would be named to again
head the ticket of the party but the
local saw otherwise. There is no mis-
taking the fact that in John Cahalane
the party has named one of its strong
est men to head its ticket. Johnny
as he is best known, is very popular
with all those who know him and is
very prominent in the molders and
machinistS organizations, both of
which he has been affiliated with,
and is likely to make it interesting
for the nominees for the office of
mayor of the democratic and repub-
lican parties.

Unions Wage
Scale.
Accepted By Quaker City's
Non Union Rapid Transit Co.

Philadelphia The non-union rapid
transit company has entered into a
bargaining scheme with it's employees
which provides that wages shall be
equal to the average of those paid
motormen, conductors and other en-
ployes in Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo
and Cleveland.
The humorous feature of the agree
ment is that these four cities are 100
per cent organized by the Amalgamat-
ed Association of Street and Electric
Railway Employees. The company re-
fuses to recognize the bona fide union
but accepts standards that trade
unionists establish.

BLOOD MONEY
Totaling $lOO,OOO,OOO Paid
To N. Y, Milk Trust
In Two Years.
Thousands OF Children Died
In This Time Because Of
High Price of Nourishment.

New York. Following the refusal
of the federal food board to give fur
ther consideration to milk prices in
New York, Mayor Hylan issued a
statement in which he praised the dis
trict attorney for his efforts in the
milk investigation now in progress,
and asserted that the price of milk
could be materially reduced.
when we find men combining to ex-
tort blood money at the expense of
little children" the mayor said, "then
it is time for public officials to per-
sistently pursue these culprits to the
end that the violators of the law pay
the penalty, the price of milk be re-
duced and the lives of little children
saved"
In a letter which Mayor Hyland
wrote to the district attorney on De-
cember 16, he asserted that the pro
ducers and distributors milk trust has
arbitrarily taxed the people of New
York city in the neighborhood of
S100,000,000 within two years" and
that Thousands of children, through
the lack of nourishmen, have died be-
cause their parents could not provide
sufficient milk for them on account
of the exhorbitant prices" Mayor
Hyland assured the district attorney
that any legislation he might desire
to put and end to this extortion"
would have the approval of Governor

Each employe is insured for $1,000 &
is paid $150 a day for 100 days in a
year for illness after the first eight
days. The employe pays $12 year
for these benefits and the company
pays $120,000 a year, which averages
about $12 each for the 10000 employees
A pension of $40 month is guaran-
teed to all employees who have reached
the age of 65 and who have been in

There is not much danger, however
of men losing this pension because of

In northern attitudes the month of March is not looked upon usually as a time for outdoor recreations, and especially for excursions on the water. But a party of Cordovans yesterday braved the chance of intermittent snowstorms and March winds to in- dulge in a pleasant ride on the bay which wound up with a clam-digging feature at Hartley bay. The tide was not just right for the elusive clam, but sufficient were gathered to satisfy the wants of the excursionists. A visit was paid also to the old wireless sta tion at Whitshed, the party returning late in the evening, after an enjoyable day. The party consisted of MT. and Mrs. Link Waln, Mrs. Funk, Miss Mat tie Joslin, Miss Sophie Sjoeberg, Miss Margaret Kolbenson, Miss Hilda John son, Louis Dahl, James Campbell, Ed Caine and c. A.
