A WORD TO THE WISE

We wish to sound a note of warn
ing to those short-sighted business
men who have been led astray by the
glowing promises Of victory and ad
vantage that will come to them if they
will only join in the fight against
organized labor.
Organized labor is a necessary con-
comitant, an inseparable part Of the
capitalist system of production.
However odious it may appear to
some, it cannot be suppressed, nor de-
stroyed, as long as the prevailing sys-
tenn of ownership and wage working
production continues.
1t is foolhardy to think that in this
age of general enlightenment the
workers can be forced into condition
of dependency and helpless degrada-
ton through unrestricted competition
for employment. In every war tenn
porary reverses may be met, but the
best that can be expected is a COM
promise in this fight between employ
er and organized employees.
Organized labor in Hamilton is not
courting fight, and would go out Of
the way to avoid a needless struggle,
but if a conflict is unavoidable, prep
Grafton and determination have been
made for such contingency. At the
conclusion of the struggle more than
one side will ache from the blows
struck

HAVE WE TALE BEARERS?

Some members Of some of our To-
Gals accuse other members of carry
ing tales to the employers This is
not impossible, in some cases this has
been proved. On the other hand, it is
possible that too many of us talk
about the business of the union on the
street corner, or in some pool room,
Are we all as careful as we should
be? 1t is a poor policy to accuse some
member of thing we cannot prove
But if we are all as careful as posi-
bic, it will not take long to detect the
guilty party, who can then be tried
in accordance with the laws of the
organization. There is nothing more
pleasing to a hostile employer than
the knowledge that there is a feeling
Of distrust among union members.
He can often work on these suspicious
to the detriment of the entire organi-
zation. The employers, as a rule, do
not talk about business matters on the
street or in other public places. We
should exercise as much caution as
thew do The AVERAGE member who
talks about union affairs on the out
side forgets the harm that may come
Of it. He does it carelessly.

THE LABOR PAPER

Printers Ink, the highest authority
en- advertising mediums, makes the
following statement:
"A labor paper is far better ad-
vertising medium than any ordinary
newspaper, in comparison with circu-
lation. A labor paper, for example,
having 10000 readers, is of far moro
value to the business man who adver-
tises than an ordinary paper with
100000 subscribers"
Many business men dc not stop to
think that every line, both of news
and advertising that enters a labor
paper, is read more closely by its
subscribers than by those of any
other form of publication. The peo-
pie who read the labor paper are la
boring men, men who patronize only
those merchants who conduct them
selves fairly toward labor
The ordinary newspaper is taken to
the home, read and then cast aside and
never touched again, save when it is
taken into the back yard to burn or
put under the carpet. The labor pa
per is saved by the housewife and its
advertising columns consulted when
she wishes to make a purchase.

WOULD FREEZE MINERS OUT
Coal owners who have evicted strik-
ing miners from company houses are
now attempting to oust them from
tents furnished by the union. The
miners leased ground for this pur
pose and the coal barons claim the
ground belongs to them The min
ers are sheltering their wives and
children from wintry blasts, but this
is nothing to the coal owners, when
workers insist on joining union.
Another attack on the miners is
shown in Governor Cornwall's request
to the state health commissioner that
sanitary conditions in the tent colony
be investigated. The miners suggest
to the governor that the sanitary con

LOCAL SECRETARY OF
BAY RED CROSS HAS
FINE JULY REPORT.
Mrs. Mary c. eager, Executive Sec
retary, Home Service Section,
Reports Unusual Activity
at Her Office for Month.
OVER THREE THOUSAND CUES
TIONAIRES SENT OUT.
Local Bureau Handled Ninety-One
Cases, from Medical Treat
ment to Compensation
Amount Money Paid.

Mrs. Mary C. eager, executive
secretary Home Service Section,
American Red Cross, in charge of the
work for Hancock county, has issued
her report for July, which shows the
enormous amount of work dispatched
through her office for the period of
the comparative short space of one
month.
The report is for July, and shows
the wide scope of work performed
by Mrs. eager, coming within the
province of the office.
Mrs. eager is thoroughly conver-
SAINT with the work, and the success
of the local office is in the main prin-
cipally to her intelligent and active
application.
Her report follows:
The report for July is week
| late, but owning to the unusual rush
since the questionaires have been
sent out it was impossible to get it
sooner. Of the three thousand ques-
tionaires sent to ex-service men 79
per cent of which have been return
ed, called for some form of work for
the man.
For the past month l have had
ninety-one cases. Thirty-six of these
are after-care. These cases are men
requiring medical treatment, physi-
cal examinations and compensation.
We have at present eight men
from Hancock county in the u. S.
Marine Hospital, in New Orleans,
| La, and one at the Charity hospi-
| tai.
Messrs. Carlos Green, Joseph Man
dala, Willie Green and Fred Stiiler
have been approved for vocation
al training.
$1983.89 has been paid through
our Office in Bay st. Louis through
the Government this month.
$128, 100000 insurance has been re-
instated, this being a gigantic task
itself.
