Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-05-09

| Since last saturday evening Ine
power plant of the A. H. Kelsey Co.,
has been operated, or attempted to be
operated, by scab labor, and as might
have been anticipated disastrous re-
suits have followed as a natural Sc
ouence, both to machinery and the in
efficient strike-breakers in charge.
Last Saturday evening the union
engineers and fremen employed at
the plant, being unable to effect an
agreement, walked out at the end of
the days work, and as yet no settle
ment has been effected.
Mr.. J. J. Smith, the international
organizer, in speaking Of the sltua-
ton, made the following statement:
Early last week, accompanied by a
committee from the Engineers and
Firemens Union, he met Mr.. A. ii.
Kelsey for a conference. The sltua-
ton was thoroughly and freely dis
cussed, and Mr.. Heisey's antagonistlc
feeling towards organized labor was
at once manifested, he being absolute
" and unalterably opposed to union
principles in any form. He did, how
ever, finally state that while he would
not treat with the committee repre-
senting the union, he would meet with
his own employees and would deal
with them. In order to avoid trouble
and if possible to effect an amicable
settlement, this somewhat irregula
arrangement was agreed to, and az
rangements for a conference We're
made.
At the meeting subsequently held
Mr.. Kelsey was told by his employees
that a final understanding must be
arrived at by the following Saturday,
and when that time arrived h. abso-
lutely refused to meet the proposition.
The result was that the men remained
at their posts until quitting time al,
rived. Before shutting down the ma
chinery they demanded the presence
Of witnesses in order to prove that
everything was left in perfect cOndi-
ton.
Sunday night three imported strike
breakers were on the job, and Oh
Monday several engines were out OF
commission in consequence of Their
inefficient and bungling attempts to
operate them, and one of the farm
ers" Ernest B. Rowe, was badly burn
ed by a gas explosion occasioned by
his ignorance regarding the proper
handling of natural gas. "Verily the
way of the transgressor is hard"
Mr.. Kelsey is good strong union
hater, said Mr.. Smith, but two things
especially seemed to stick in his craw,
one was the alleged friendly feeling
of organized labor toward the lib raj
the other was the en-
couragemnet given unionism by the
Democratic national administration,
and anything done by Democrats, ac-
corGing to the dictates of Mr.. Heiseys
brain, must invariably be wrong.
Mr.. Smith thinks that the course
by this establishment roth
in the present instance and also IN the
oppt sition displayed towards the loca-
ticn of new and desirable Industries
in Newark, comes with i'll grace from
these who were the recipients Of such
generous help from the city, when in
times of due extremity and ncei a
lighting place was looked TO here.
Undoubtedly much of the unbounded

Teachers Meet With
Unexpected Success

Washington-The campaign of the
American Federation of Teachers is
meeting with unexpected success
throughout the country and is being
given a great welcome in Canada as
well. There a number of unions are
also reported to have been formed
The unsuccessful efforts of the school
teachers in the past to secure proper
remuneration for their services is be-
ing resented, and they are now hope
full of arousing public sentiment IN
their behalf that will result in forcing
the recognition they are entitled to.
A new charter every other day has
been the result since the campaign
was started, giving assurance that
within a short time all of the public
school teachers of at least the big
centres of population and industry
will have a local of the teachers union
established. To date, it is stated,
there have been 70 charters issued for
new unions from coast to coast.
The aims Of this vigorous young ma
tional trade union organization of
educators are characterization of the
schools and fair working conditions
for teachers. Various school boards
have lately exhibited their autocratic,
illiberal attitude on public questions
to the extent Of actual persecution of
teachers and the attempted suppress
sion of free discussion in schools.

E'U. S AS LEADING
WORLD POWER IN 1000
Hisfefy Professors Predict England

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Dec. 3o.-It will
require from nifty to one hundred
years to obtain the proper perspective
and true history of the world war,

eonvention of the Historical Associa-
iion here today.

fessor of the department OF history,
Catholic University, Washington, d.
c.. said England and Russia, IL the
latter RECEIVERS, will also be among
the greatest world powers at that
time.
It was agreed that the greatest
piece OF legislation enacted by the
Wilson administration is the Federal
reserve banking act. This act made
possible the successful financing of
the war, IL was held.
The league OF nations covenant was
held necessary to prevent 'interna-
tionai chaos" The professors viewed
a return TO the balance of power as
. step backward.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

The Fourth of July this year will
be celebrated all over the world
wherever a handful of Americans
may be found, because the latent
spirit of Patrick Henry who said
''Give me liberty or give me death"
has been implanted deeply into the
hearts of all peoples as result OF
the Great War. The fires Of patriot
ism will be alighted in such blaze of
glory in America rs was never known
before; every city, town, village,
hamlet, valley, hill and dale, will
unite in solid phalanx to celebrate
Americas new birth of freedom on
this Natal Day of the Republic Ad-
dresses will be made by gifted ora
tors, sermons will be preached by
men learned in theology, millions OF
Americas children will sing the Star
Spangled Banner, in fact, the whole
nation will be on dress parade, pass
ing in review before Uncle Sam.
Could less be expected from people
the progenitors of those great patri-
OTIS who two hundred years ago threw
off the British yoke, and gave to
mankind the world over the sheet,
anchor of liberty, the United States
Constitution; the greatest instru-
ment Of government ever devised by
man, and was as much an event In
the world as when Moses handed
down the Ten Commandments from
Mount Sinai.
Madisonville has gone through all
the acid tests Of patriotism during
the war, now happily nearing the
end, and there is no doubt her citi-
zens will march shoulder to shoulder
to make this occasion the grandest
in all her history. Why not dec
crate every steam craft in the har-
Dor, every schooner, and every house
in the town, and for once enjoy the
thrills of independence and liberty
now and forever. Feel that Madi-
sonvillesby her splendid achievement
as a shipbuilding town, has placed
herself abreat of the times and is
determined to remain the cynosure
of all eyes. It is up to the citizens
Of this town to be up and doing and
show to her sister towns of the north,
east and west there is one town in
Dixie that will do as much to make
the eagle scream as they; that we
believe in American nationalism;
that we believe in her with all our
hearts, and have the best country
on the face of the earth; the pretti-
est women, the handsomest men, the
prettiest children, In all the world.

NOT GUILTY, is
VERDICT REED
MURDER

The Reed murder trial this week
jammed the courtroom and left
scarcely standing room in the hall
entrance. Amos L. Ponder and
Lewis l.. Morgan, both able criminal
lawyers fought each other over every
inch of the way and made speeches
that held the sweltering, tightly pack
ed crowd together for over three
hours. Mr.. Ponder represented
ed by C.. Sidney Frederick. Mr.
Mr.. Morgan assisted District Attor-
ney Brock in the prosecution.
The murder was on eof extreme
brutality, Reeds wife, the murdered
woman, having been beaten in the
head with a hammer, the property
of Reed, the accused, until her head
was crushed to pulp, and suspicion
of Reeds guilt of the crime having
been sufficient to secure his indict-
ment and trial for murder.
Mr.. Morgan assisted in the pros
ecution without compensation, be-
ing appealed to by citizens who felt
that it would be a stigma upon the
community should such crime go
unpunished and realizing that as a
criminal lawyer the community's in
terest could not be in better hands.
But Notwithstanding the hard bat
tie fought by both Mr. Morgan and
District Attorney Brock, the jury
brought in verdict Of not guilty,
due to the fact that there was not
such evidence obtainable or present
ed as would leave no reasonable
doubt of guilt. 1t could not be prov
en- that Reed was at the house where
the crime was committed at the prob
able time of the commission of the
crime. 1t is reported that the jury
believed he was guilty, but could not
find him so under the evidence, be-
yond a reasonable doubt.
Mr.. Frederick made an excellent
showing in his first appearance in a
great criminal case.
