The Cincinnati News is the publi-
cation issued by the striking maehin-
lists Of the Queen city. This weeks
issue again states that the straw
bosses and the foremen Of the differ
ent factories where the strike exists
continue to make a big drive ito in
duce the machinists to return to
work. They have now been out
abou. ten weeks and it looks as if
they are going to stay out until the
factories in that city agree to deal
with them as men. The strikers are
asking very little Of their employers
in wages, and we must say much less
than the mechanics are getting all
over the country They are not ask
ing recognition Of their union and
nothing has been mentioned about a
closed shop; still the bic employers
are fighting their men for better
pay Cincinnati is known and has the
reputation among working men
throughout the United States as the
cheapest wage city in the country.
This reputation has been gained be-
cause Of the employers ability in
past years to crush labor unions who
were after a square deal The ma
chinists Of Cincinnati know this and
they ere determined to place their
city on a standard with the outside
world That is why they are on
strike today.

The strike at the Hamilton Machine
Tool Company still remains in the un-
settled class, ana from the outlook
it will be a few more days before the
management realizes that it is best
to have union men in the factory.
Reports from the officials of the Ma
ehinists' Union is to the effect that
there are only seven Hamilton ma
chinists in the shop, and a few from
Middletown and Cincinnati They say
that the majority Of these men are
not maehinists and know very little
about the business. If this is fact
would it not be better to settle the dis
pute with the men who are mechanics
and know how to build machinery.
than to have a force of men who
know nothing about it? There is
nothing more pleasant than to have a
force Of men in your employ that are
mechanics and know how to deliver the
goods. The union men who were en-
ployed in the plant Of the Hamilton
Machine Tool Company during the
war were mechanics and did deliver
the goods.

The time is drawing near for the
Of the new labor temple,
and / win take a few dollars to do it.
There are quite a few Of our brothers
who have not dug down in their jeans
and purchased a building bond, SO that
the committee can proceed with the
remodeling A great many Of these
can well afford to purchase
ten building bonds, but one viii be a
big help towards the new structure
If you are reading these lines and are
one IF those who did not buy bond,
Do 50 at once and relieve your con
science a little. No union man who
has the movement at heart should de-
lay the remodeling Of this building a
day, and the way to bring it about is
the purchase Of the building bonds.
Mayor Smith ought to appoint
good, thorough, competent, live com
olittee at once to go into the gas
question. That is, for the purpose Of
securing gas elsewhere or making it.
We are going to need it, you can bet
your boots ON that.
