Ohio State Federation
OF Labor.
IMPORTANT
April %, 1919.

April 28, 1919.
Affiliated Local Unions and
Central Bodies.
Greeting! The Executive Board of
the Ohio State Federation of Labor
has decided to call d referendum on
Senate Bill No ID, by Mr.. Miller,
which was passed by the General AS
sembly of Ohio, Notwithstanding the
protest of the Ohio State Federation
of Labor. In pursuance of this pur-
pose, the Federation is sending to all
affiliated organizations referendum
petitions for the obtaining of sigma
lures.
In the judgment of the Federation,
this bill will, if it is permitted to be-
come law, demoralize the admins
tration of the Workmen's Compensa-
tion law and all of the departments
of the state whose duty it is to ad-
minister and enforce the labor laws
of Ohio, by making the Industrial
Commission and the heads of the de-
partments under it part of the po-
litical spoils system, and be an aid
to the liability insurance interests to
secure control of the Industrial Com
mission and thereby impair the ad-
ministration of the Workmen's Com
pensation department.
The affiliated organizations are
therefore urged to begin the work at
once of securing the signatures 10
these petitions, having the affidavits
made thereto, and return same to th4
office Of. the secretary-t treasurer of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor at
the very earliest date possible.
Special instructions.
All names of persons, place of resi-
dence, wards, precincts and townships
should be plainly written in ink or
indelible pencil. Do not use ordinary
lead pencil
Do not secure signatures of per-
sons to any one petition from more
than one county. (Signatures of per-
sons from two counties on one peti-
ton will make it impossible to file
the petition).
Each petition should be signed and
sworn to before a notary public b.
the person circulating same before re-
turning petition to the Ohio State
Federation of Labor. addressed en-
velopes are being sent all organiza
tions for this purpose.)
All petitions should be returned to
the secretary-treasurer of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor not later
than June 16.
Remember, do not send petitions to
the Secretary of State,

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1919-08-01

Senator Miles Poindexter Of Wash
ington has brought the Shantung con-
troversy to a head by presenting a
resolution declaring that the Senate
does not approve of the provisions Of
the treaty that relate to the transfer
of that province. His resolution reads
as follows:
Resolved, That the Senate does not
advise and does not consent to the ar
ticle of the pending proposed treaty
with Germany, China, Japan and other
nations by which Shantung, a part Of
China, is transferred to the jurisdic-
tion of Japan"
Some of the most vigorous criti-
'cisms of the treaty yet heard deal with
the disgraceful treatment of China
In order to satisfy the demands of
Japan and secure her signature to the
treaty and the league of nations. The
transaction was merely sop to ap-
pease strong autocracy at the ex-
pense of weak republic, and no other
reason for it has been advanced by the
friends of the treaty. The sentiment
of the Poindexter resolution correctly
represents the feeling of the Republi-
cans of the Senate and some of the
Democrats, and there is little doubt
that it's substance will be adopted
eventually, either as separate de-
claration Of the Senate or as part of
the resolution of ratification.
Baker and Daniels, respectively, are
finding out how little influence they
have in determining the military and
naval policies of the United States.
Congress, chosen by the people, is
representing the wishes of the coun-
try.

Whx Zoo Animals Died.

One hundred animals in the Paris
geological gardens died during the
war. After a bomb from r. German
airplane made big hole in the Rue
'Cuvier, alongside the gardens, the an
thorittes thought it wise to kill the poi
sonous snakes, lest they should escape
and cause panic. Later the river
Seine OverflOwed it's banks and flooded
part of the gardens, and monkeys, an
telopes and CRATES developed chest
complaints and died. Only the wa
ter-fowl flOurshed but Coco. the baby
hippo, the pride Of the gardens, died
of ennui, they say, as the gardens
were virtually deserted during the
war

CALLS SPECIAL SESSION

The Republican Governor of Nebras-
ka has called special session of the
legislature for July 28th, for the pur-
pose of ratifying the Woman Suffrage
Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States. Rather a contrast,
this, to the attitude of the Governor
of Louisiana, who sent out frantic APP
peals to all Democratic Governors to
defeat the amendment, and refused to
call special session of the legislature
TO decide what action should be taken
on the matter.

ENOUGH OF DICTATORS

Press dispatches say that farmers
want wheat price-fxing stopped BY
repeal of the law. They aver that the
wheat purchasing bureau has made
some $23, 100000 on its deals, and they
do not seem to regard this as a proper
method of levying an income tax, es-
pecially when they are called upon to
pay the same income tax that other
people pay. 1t is to be hoped that the
farmers will manifest as strong an
opposition to other forms of bureau
crazy as they have to price-fixing.

PLEDGES WILL BE KEPT

Senator Curtis of Kansas, Republi-
can whip of the Senate, who probably
knows more about the real feelings of
Senators than any other man, is re-
ported as saying that he had no doubt
that the thirty-nine signers of the
round robin of March 4th will stand by
their pladges, which will alone block
ratification of the league covenant.
In addition to the thirty-nine, Senator
Curtis is said to believe there are a
number of other Senators ready to in
sisit upon reservations to the cove
uant.

Candy Makers Protest
Restrictions on Sugar

committee of candy manufactur-
ers visited Federal Food Administrator or
Arthur Williams yesterday and protest
ed the effects of the sugar shortage on
their industry. They said that they not
only were struggling along on meagcr
supplies, but also were charged with
outbidding the public and diverting
most of the sugar supply to themselves.
The manufacturers said that not a
candy factory in this city was running
at anything like its capacity, while
eight fairly large plants have been
closed down. They have been unable
TO obtain even the 80 per cent Of their
normal requirements supposed 10 be
allocated by the Sugar Equalization
Board to each manufacturer, they as
serted
Mr.. Williams told his visitors that
the people of the city wanted to know
why so many pounds of candies were
stacked IN the windows Of stores, while
they could obtain no sugar. 1t was ex-
plalned TO him that most of this CANDY
had been manufactured months ago
and that it required a certain length OF
time TO attain its best flavor.
The committee said that the price OF
candy has not advanced since sugar be
came short. The committee included

When Tom Dalton. a watchman, en-
tered the Office at I 40 p M, the clerks
had not been gone more than an hour,
but the room was filled with smoke,
the safe open and the cash gone. On
the floor were two gas tanks, a burner,
a box of burglary tools and two horse
blankets.
The robbers either were "inside"
workers CT had secreted themselve
and their equipment somewhere in the
building Iron bars over all the WIN
dows had not been disturbed. Each
tank left behind would have been a
heavy load for one man. The horse
blankets, it was determined. were
stolen from a livery stable at Twenty
fourth Street and Eleventh Avenue.
