''SOCIAL STRUCTURE RESTS
ON WORKERS."
President Wilson.
President Wilson.

Milan, Italy-"The working classes
are the foundation of society" was
one of the sentiments expressed by
President Wilson in reply to the well
come of the mayor of Milan The
President said
'I am as keenly aware, | believe,
sir, as anybody can be that the social
structure rests upon the great work
ing classes of the world and that those
working classes in several countries
of the world have by their conscious
ness of community of interest, by their
consciousness of community of spirit,
done perhaps more than any other in
1uence has to establish world opin-
ion which is not of nation, which is
not of a continent, but is the opinion,
one might say, of mankind; and ! am
aware, sir, that those of us now
charged with the very great and Sc
rious responsibility of concluding
peace must think, act and confer in
the presence of this opinion-that we
are not masters of the fortunes OF
any nation, but are the servants OF
mankind; that it is not our privilege
to follow special interests, but it is
our manifest duty to study only the
general interest"
In another address in this city
President Wilson made this reference
to the men and women who battle fol
liberty;
"Force can always be conquered, bu
the spirit of liberty can never be, anc
the beautiful circumstances about the
history of liberty is that its cham
pions have always shown the power
of self-sacrifce They have always
been willing to subordinate their per
sonal interests to the common gooc
and have not wished to serve them
This is what gives imperishable vic
tory, and with that victory has come
about things that are exemplified il
| scenes like this-the coming together
of the hearts of nations and the sym
pathy of great bodies of people whc
do not speak the same vocabulary, but
speak the same ideas.

Hundreds OF
Macllirliists
Are Leaving The City Be-
cause of Better Wages
And Conditions Offered
Elsewhere.
Uncertainty of Situation Here
Also Cause of Exodus.

Unless the situation clears itself,
and that very soon, Hamilton is going
to find herself shy of many of her
skilled mechanics and that just at a
time when every man will be needed,
because there is no use Disgusting the
fact that the country is in for great
wave of prosperity and Hamilton is
going to be on the top of the wave.
Our manufacturers are going to let
the machinists get away and when 1t
is too late will set up the cry that
they can't get men.
Already more than hundred of
our most skilled machinists have left
the city. Twenty-Five left yesterday
alone, large number left this morn
ing and so they are going every day.
The exodus of machinists is caused
by the high wages and better condi-
tions that are being offered by outside
concerns. These places are offering
a fiat eight-hour day with double
price for Sunday.
Then the uncertainty of the Ham
ilton situation, where the manufac-
turers refuse to grant the requests of
the workers to establish the eight
hour day, has much to do with so
many leaving. This question has been
referred to the War Labor Board for
adjustment but just when this board
will make its ruling and what it will
be, of course no one knows. So the
men are rapidly taking advantage OF
the liberal propositions being offerd
And the outside concern are taking
advantage of the oportunity for Sc
curing real skilled machinists.
The railroad machine shops are grab
bing Hamilton machinists by the
dozens. One railroad shop, not SO fan
distant, after placing ten of these mer
sent for more, stating that they never
had machinists who are more pro
ficient than those coming from Ham
ilton Twenty-Five Hamilton machln
lists are now working in this one shol
alone.
It seems strange, too, that Will,
the employers of this city are laying
off local men they are seeking Others
elsewhere. A Hamilton machinist ap
plying for work at the Dayton EN-
ployment bureau was asked why h
didn't go to work III Hamilton? H
replied, "There are no jobs open.
That's funny, said the agent, why
just sent seven machinists down t,
mentioning big local concern) jus
yesterday.
1t is up to our manufacturers as t.
whether we are going to lose our mos
skilled machinists or not.

MOIders' Conference Board
Met Here Sunday

The Miami Valley Conference Board
of the international Molders' Union
met in Hamilton last Sunday. Dele
gates from Dayton, Troy, Piqua,
Hamilton, Cincinnati, Covington,
Springfield and Connersville were here
and took part in the meeting. Busi-
ness and conditions pertaining to the
molding industry were thoroughly
discussed by the delegates and all Of
them were encouraged by the work
that has been accomplished and what
will be accomplished in the future.
Being the regular meeting for the
election of officers, the following were
elected to serve for one year:
John Cox, President, Piqua, Ohio
Harry Hensel, President, Ham
ilton, Ohio.
al. Bezanceny, Recording Secretary,
Hamilton, Ohio.
Louis Haeffle, Secretary Treasurer,
Cincinnati, Ohio.
Jerry Calvin, Doorkeeper, Dayton,
Ohio. Calvin is also assistant busi-
ness agent in Dayton and in this dis
trict.
The Conference Board will call an
extra session of the organization,
which will be held in Hamilton the
last Sunday in February. At the ex-
ira session the Board will likely place
another organizer in the field. This
has been found necessary on account
of the rapid and steady growth of the
organization. After the meeting a
grand lunch and refreshments were
served to the visiting delegates.

agreement by notice to the department
and the corporation of its intention
to conform to the agreement, and any
such union may withdraw from the
agreement upon similar notice.
The agreement is signed by E. G..
Grace and ]. w. Powell, president and
vice-president of the corporation, and
James O'Connell and A. j. Berries,
president and secretary-treasurer of
the metal trades department. The
significance of this agreement can be
appreciated when it is recalled that
Mr.. Grace is executive of the Bethle-
hem Steel company.
The Bethlehem Shipbuilding cor
poration is the shipbuilding organiza-
ton of the steel company. The cor
poration is the owner of the Squan-
tum and Fore River plants at Fall
River, Mass; the Union Iron Works
at San Francisco; the Sparrows Point
plant at Baltimore; the Harlan plant
at Wilmington, Del; the Moore plant
at Elizabeth, N. J., and various small
er plants, altogether employing 75,OOC
men. It's production last year was
approximately so per cent of the
naval construction of the entire coun-
try and about 25 per cent of the tota
merchant vessel tonnage.

and outlined for uniform working
scale throughout the state.
Painters were asked not to use the
products of the Ridgely Trimmer COM
pany, of Springfield, Ohio, manufac-
turers of steelwool, blow torches, etc,
as this firm is considered very unfair
to the painters organization.
Organization plans were discussed
tending to make the Conference a
100 per cent organization. Twenty
seven locals in the state are now af-
filiated with the organization.
Frank Holt, of this city, attended
the session as a delegate. He is one
of the trustees of the conference elect
ed at the October meeting.
The next session of the Conference
will be held at Lorain, Ohio, July II
and 13.

Retail Clerks.
Against Bill That Would Gre
ate State Constabularly.

Retail Clerks Local 119 met in
regular session Monday night in
Trades Council hall. This was the
first meeting of the clerks for
month, owing to the time of the last
regular meeting falling on Monday
night of the week that the stores were
open for Christmas shoppers.
The regular routine business was
transacted, during which the secre
tary read a communication from the
State Federation asking the clerks to
file a protest with the county's rep
resentatives in the state legislature
and senate against the proposed bill
for creating a states constabulary or
police force. The local voted unani-
mously to comply with the request
and instructed the secretary to imme-
diately communicate the organiza
tion's protest with our representa-
tives
Another matter that brought forth
] lengthy discussion was the report
that several of our merchants, dis
playing the union store card, are en-
ploying non-union clerks in violation
of the agreement with the Clerks
Union. The secretary was instructed
to notify several merchants that un-
less the applications of the non-union
clerks in their employ are submitted
at the next meeting of the organiza-
| ton the store card will be removed
from their stores and the public in
| formed that they are no longer con-
sidered fair to organized labor. All
stores, together with a list of the
non-union clerks employed by them,
are to be reported at the next meet
ing for further action.
A committee of Iron Molders, No.
68, requested the privilege of the floor
for few moments. The request be-
ing granted the committee explained
that the family of a deceased member
of 6S is in dire straits and that a
piano was being given away for the
family's benefit and asked the clerks
to contribute The request was COM
piled with.
The local then adjourned to meet
again in two weeks, when it is urged
that all members be present, as sew
eral matters of much Importance will
come up for discussion. Among them
will be that of the non-union clerks
now employed in stores displaying
the union store card, and it is desired
that all members take part in this
discussion.
As an added attraction President
James Welch will deliver his inaugu-
raj address. This alone gives assur-
ance of packed hall next meeting
night.

NOLAN DISCHARGED
Indictments Against Union
MaChiniStS QuaShed By
Court.
Was Charged With Making
Bomb Used In Prepared
ness Parade Outrage.

San Francisco - Superior Court
Judge Griffin has dismissed three in
dictments against Edward d. Nolan,
charged with manufacturing the bomb
used in the alleged Mooney bomb out
rage during the preparedness parade
on July %, 1916.
Nolan was in jail nine months, but
after the Oxman perjury expose he
was admitted to bail, when Captain
of Detectives Matheson acknowledged
that the police had no evidence to
hold the union machinist
District Attorney Fickert, through
one of his assistants, agreed to the
dismissal of the indictments There
are still pending against Nolan three
indictments in Judge Dunnes court
and two in Judge Cabannis' court
When Nolan was arrested District
Attorney Fickert famed the flames
of hostile public opinion by charg-
ing that "the ingredients of a high
explosive" were found in the home
of the accused. The defense showed
that the explosive" was ordinary
Epson salts Fickert then found an
expert" who claimed that this medi-
cine could be used in the manufacture
of bombs.
The dismissal of the indictments is
another one of the many reverses re-
ceived by the prosecution since the
Oxman perjury discovery. Before
that Warren K. Billings was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment and
Thomas ]. Mooney was sentenced to
