FORD MAY RUN
DAILY TRAIN
From Dayton to Hamilton to
Accommodate Workers,
According to Rumor

1t has been rumored that the Ford
Traction Company might run a daily
train from Dayton to Hamilton to
accommodate employees of the new
big plant who reside in Dayton On
this matter the Dayton Labor Review
says:
IF reports fltering through from
Hamilton are correctly founded, Henry
Ford will throw a scare" into Day
ton manufacturers good and proper.
The reports say that Ford, who is
erecting a mammoth tractor plant in
Hamilton, plans to run a daily train
to and from Dayton for the accommo-
dation of Dayton men and women who
wish to work in his plant The Ham
ilton plant will pay minimum wage
of 81 day, janitors and laborers in
cluded in this minimum 1t is also
understood that female employees will
receive a minimum wage of 81 daily.
Dayton manufacturers threw every
possible obstacle in the way of Ford
coming to Dayton, it is understood,
although the Detroi manufacturer
was much interested i'll this city. 1t
snow noised about that the Ford con-
cern plans to obtain an ample sup
ply of Dayton labor for the Hamilton
factory and that in order to do it the
Hamilton corporation will run a daily
train service to and from Dayton, Civ
ing free transportation to the Dayton
ians employed in the Hamilton fact
ory"
If the above should prove true
here would be dandy chance to COP
off some of Dayton's citizens for per
manent residents of Hamilton. Oh, il
some one would only cough up the
price Of about 1900 homes for ou
city! What glorious opportunities we
have that we can't take advantage of

lJNIONISM DEFENDED
Every Worker Should Be
Member of Trade Union,
Says British Statesman

London, England Every wage
worker should be member of a trade
union, declared Lork Askwith, in
speaking on the industrial courts bill,
which provides for settlement of in
dustrial disputes without resorting to
fines or Jail sentences. Lork Askwith
was chief labor conciliator under the
Asquith government, which was sue
ceeded by the present Lloyd George
ministry.
"As compared with interference by
government minister with a trade,
it is much better for employers and
employed to make up their minds as
to what they really want, said Lord
Askwith.
1t might seem strange order and
an undue interference with individual
liberty to enact that persons must be-

were to take part in trade, said the
speaker, but he pointed out that no

was completed the new company put

MOSLER MEN
WORKING
Returned After Conference
With Officials on
Saturday

All the employees of the Mosler Safe
Company returned to work on Monday
morning after having been out two
weeks. The return of the men was
the result of conference between a
committee of employees and the Off
cials of the company late Saturday
afternoon All matters have been
satisfactorily adjusted until Mr. Mos
elr's return to the city.
Regarding the settlement Ted
Smith, business agent Of the machin-
lists union, said:
Il received the word that it was
possible if a committee called on the
officials of Mosler Safe Company a
satisfactory adjustment of the griev-
ances might be reached. At a meet
ing of the employees held Saturday, |
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1920-03-05

urged that a committee call at the
plant Immediately A committee was
named, and with myself went to the
Mosler plant, where we were received
by Mr.. Bartels and Mr.. Donaldson.
After lengthy discussion an agree
ment was reached which was salts
factory to the committee, and upon re-
port of the committee at meeting
of the employees on Saturday night it
was agreed to accept the committee's IS
recommendation that all return to
work on Monday morning The Off
cials assured the committee that only
Mr.. Mosler could settle the question
of the reinstatement of the man dis
charged, and because of which the
men originally walked out This
question will no doubt be settled sat
isfactorily upon Mr. Mosler's return
From what the men say, all the
trouble has been caused by couple
of bosses who have been arrogant and
making themselves obnoxious to the
workers for some time pats. It's
hoped that no further trouble will
arise at this plant where no complaint
is made of wages and the working con.
ditions.
