INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS In
PHILADELPHIA.

The Ship Yard laid off about 800 men last
week. Most of those laid off were bolters-up ship
filters and leamers, other workers of the same
kind were hired to take their places but at low
er wage. Botersup were formerly paid SO cents
per hour, but were rehired at 46 cents per hour,
Rates for other trades were proportionely low
cred. systematic campaign is being carried on
in the shipyards to change them from closed shops
to open shops, here we find one of the advantages
the worker receives through the American Plan.
If the American worker is not yet convinced that
American democracy and Americanism are the
smoke screens the capitalists throw out in order
to cloud his brain while they exploit him, he is
now receiving unmistakable evidence of their ne
farious intent

We can do this. With your help we can not

(N Y. Bureau) Emma Goldman who has just
returned here from three months absence in the

CONCERT REVIEW

Medina was treated to feast of
good music last Tuesday evening,
which, happy to say, was heard and
appreciated by large and generous
audience. When Mr.. Babcock fin
ished counting the money there lay
on the table over fifty dollars.
Their numbers were of greatly var
ed mood and sentiment, Mrs. Bige-
lows song, "Christ in Flanders ~
touching as it did intimate experiences
of the writer, was perhaps the most
moving. The quiet beauty of the low
ely duet, otis Evening" was of
the sort that often passes unnoticed
because of the simplicity, smoothness
and artistry Of the work of composer
and singers. Big Fred Bohley's two
songs were finely sung and his robust
voice was we'll controlled. Miss
Schaffer's chorus of girls sang well,
giving evidence of the careful train
ing they had been given, and it is
hoped work of this sort will be in
cluded in school plans for next year.
The orchestra, trained and directed by
that human dynamo, John Beck { he
looks more like power pole than a
dynamo), played well together and
executed the numbers programmed in
fine style. Let us hope that Medina
(Which is the Arabic word for "town")
will keep up and increase the rood
work along musical lines.

LIGHT GAS LAMPS
and LESSEN SPEED

In this issue appears warning by
Marshal Stowe White to autoists call
ing attention to the laws respecting
the lighting of vehicles.
The law provides that all vehicles
shall carry front and rear lights whose
rays extend 200 feet and shall be dis
played between one hour after sunset
and one hour before sunrise. This act
does not refer to hay wagons when
loaded. A penalty of not more than
$25 attaches to violation of this law.
Special attention is directed to the
operation of spot lights, violation of
this provision resulting in a fine of
not more than $25 for the first Of
fense and, for the second violation, a
fine of not less than $50 or more than
$100 is prescribed. rN ;
A separate section is devoted to
speed limits of motor vehicles and
cars and a penalty attaches for vio-
lations. It would be we'll to read the
warning given elsewhere.

lers Bible class of the Church Of
Christ collected and sold one load Of
papers and magazines this week

zines and on Thursday, June 8, they
will be collected. They hope to make

RUBBER STOCK
SEEMS GOOD BUY

A concern that shows 1914 per cent
earned on it's investment within the
first nine months Of its existence must
be q pretty substantial industry. That
is the record Of the Akron Universal
Rubber Co., under the old organiza-
ton, which is now selling stock
locally.
It is the intention Of the company
to erect plant here on the Bigelow
place at the east side of town for the
manufacture Of tires and rubber
goods.
The selling plan of the company
embraces a distinctly favorable fea-
ture. More than 80 per cent Of deal
ers of standard tire line in the
state are stockholders, and,> as such,
will be interested in marketing their
own. product.
h Those who buy into the company
now will get a bonus Of half as much
common stock as they buy Of the pre-
ferred. The prospectus says, in part,

TELEPHONE BOOK

The new telephone directory was is
sued and distributed this week, pre-
senting neat typographical appear
ance, though containing few errors
in names and numbers.
y There are approximately 1,675 sub
scribers. The letter "B" has 1872 rep
resentatiyes, the letter rs" being .
close second with 1856 names. ~" has
but five entries. A
A cursory reviewing of the names
in the book discloses some interesting
facts. Animals are represented by
one Drake, one Hart, two Koons, two
BARS, two Lyons, four Martins and
five VOLTS, but there are but two
Hunters and three Fishers. CrofoOt
is represented by five but there is only
one Crow. The book shows five
Bakers and one Cook but that is suf-
ficient for two Rice, two Musch and
one Mellen. But one Carpenter has
but two Planks, still there are four
Walls and five Houses.
The gambling element is held down
to one Wager and three Betz. But
one Mann and one Benedict should
make things interesting for the fair
sex. An ample supply Of flour is
promised with theten Millers. Money

LOCAL ORCHESTRA
HAS GOOD TALENT

A huge crowd of music-lovers en-
joyed a symphonic feast at the Meth
odist church Tuesday evening when
the Medina Community Orchestra
presented its initial concert of the
season. About $50 was realized
from the affair, half of which will
60 into the fund for building a Legion
community house.
The solo work reflects great credit
upon the artists who evidenced thor
ough comprehension of their scores
and complete mastery of technique.
The orchestral work evidences Me-
dina's good fortune in possessing a
band Of musicians unequalled by any
community, and much credit goes to
John Beck, the director, for the fin
ished performance.
Individual mention is forbidden by
lack Of space, but at no time during
the rendition of the numbers was
there apparent other than profes-
sional understanding and execution.

FARMERS Will GO To
WOOSTER FOR ANNUAL
WHEAT field DAY

There will be a drainage demon
stration held this Saturday afternoon
on the farm Of VIM. Mellert, south Of
Valley City. Mr.. Mellert is laying
about six carload Of tile and is hay
ing the trench dug with a traction
ditcher. s4
The meeting is for the purpose Of
viewing the work of this machine and
studying the general scheme. Of lay
out for the drainage system. The
entire farm was surveyed to get the
levels and a plot of the drainage sys-
tenn was drawn by a drainage sys-
eer from the State University. The
work is being done under these direc-
tions. This service to Mr.. Mellert
was rendered by the farm Bureau.
Every person interested in the tiling
problem is urged to attend this meet
ing.
The Farm Bureau has decided to
conduct another observation party. to
the Ohio Experiment Station for a
Wheat Field Day on Wednesday, juno
%. As there will be no state wheat
field day this year we hope to have a
large delegation. This is valuable
trip for every farmer and becomes
more so when one continues it eaclr
year. In this way one becomes faml-
lar with the work and can see the
comparison of different years.
Last year over $50 Medina county
people took the atrips on the Medina
County day. We sought to do stifl
better this year. Special attention viii
be given US by the station people who
will conduct the trips over the fields
during the day. Besides viewing the
wheat fields the lime work will be
given attention as that is a vital prob
lem in our county. Set aside this day
and join the crowd in Wooster.
