RETAIL CLERKS
Hold Busy Session Tuesday
Night

Retail Clerks Union No. PIG held
ole of the most interesting meetings
Tuesday night that it has held in a
long time The members had all been
notified that there were several mat
ters of special Importance coming up
and as a result the attendance was
large. 1t seems much complaint has
been coming to the organization late
ly of the violation of the agreement
with the clerks by number of the
merchants in that they keep their
stores open long after the closing
hour on Saturday night and during the
week. These merchants have been not
flied and cautioned on several occa
gions but without avail The secre-
tary of the organization was instruct
ed to notify these habitual offenders
that any violation of the agreement in
the future would be the cause for the
removal of the card without any fur
ther argument or discussion.
If the card is removed from any of
the stores, organized labor will be so
notified and asked to act accordingly.
TIE clerks take this stand, no mer-
chant is compelled to run or conduct
dnion store nor display the card. If
they want the union mans trade, or
if they don't want it, that is up to
them But the clerks don't propose
that any of the the merchants are to
display the union card as bluff or
blind for the purpose of catching the
union mans trade and not live up to
the agreement made with the retail
clerks. The clerks say they are get
ting tired of coaxing and begging
these certain merchants to live up to
their agreements. 1t looks as though
some one is going to be made to feel
the power Of the friendly feeling Of
organized labor in Hamilton in the
near future.
At the meeting Tuesday night, two
ere initiated, George Seller, of the
Peoples shoe store, and Sam Levine,
of the Worthmore Co. Ray f. Wun-
derhch was elected a delegate to rep

JUDGE THINKS KANSAS LAW IS
 PROPER THING

WICHITA, Kan, Aug. 2 (by Asso- ciated Press) That concerted plan by those opposing the Kansas industrial law exists, to elect a leg islature which will repeal the law at the next general session in 1921 was the declaration of William L. Hug gins, presiding judge of the Su- preme court here. Judge Huggins pleaded that the law be given a flair chance"
 He said the operation of the new law thus far has been very satisfac- tory.
 "The legislature created here a tri- bunal in which justice is administered without money and without price, ; continued the Judge. "The poorest man in Kansas, if he is engaged in any of the essential industries named = in the law may at any time come Unto the court and make his complaint known. The state provides him with a lawyer and will prepare his case for him without charge. It provides him with expert accountants and en- gineers and trained examiners who will investigate his case without any charge.
 "If the court has rendered it's de- cision, the laborer is dissatisfied, he Smay take it before the supreme court of Kansas. The evidence which the state helped him introduce and pre- pare is transcribed for him by an ex- pert reporter"

EGYPT WOMEN
 HAVE LIVES OF
 HARSHEST KIND

LONDON, Aug. 2 (by Associated Press).-The treatment of women ill Egypt is the darkest phase of Egyptian life, says G. N. Barnes, member of par liament, who has returned from a tour of that country.
 The men in Egypt, said MT. Barnes, so far as sex relations were concerned, thought themselves the lords of crea- tion. They could divorce their wives at will without whim or reason, and it was not uncommon for a man to have three wives.
 Tn many houses," continued Mr Barnes, 'I never saw woman and you can take it from me that the posi- tion of the women in Egypt is abso- lutely one of serfdom and dependence. They spend their lives in miserable hovels in working in the adjoining fields, or in getting water.
 "They are the serfs of the men and as much beasts of burden as the don- key and the camel A people which uses women folk in that way are des- tined to be a subject race and do not deserve to govern"

LUXURY TAX IS
 TOO GREAT FOR
 BIG THEATERS

BERLIN, Aug. 2 (by Associated Press) s).-Taxation amounting to something like 55 per cent of gross revenue and heavy running expenses are responsible for the recent closing down of 60 first-class theaters in Germany. Many theatrical and oper. atic companies are said to be in sore financial straits. Few people can af- ford to pay for the higher priced seats at the present increase of rates and the moving picture houses, with their popular prices are reaping harvest.
 The manager of the Reinhardt con- cern which controls the three most important Berlin theaters states that the latest luxury" tax alone takes more than 20 per cent of the box office receipts. Boxes and stalls are now, rarely booked. . @.|

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, Jan. 6.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Wall street received Il very strong
intimation of continued tight money
rates today into the address of Gov
ernor Harding of the federal reserve
board at Washington. Through the
forenoon trading had been rather list
less and prices were heavy from the
opening,
Trade quoted down materially in
the last hour and some recovery was
noted, but it was half hearted af-
fair at best. The lowering of the
money rate may have had something
to do with the improved tone in prices,
although it is more probable the money
condition played but a small part i'm
the decline through the middle period
and afternoon as well as the better
tendency through the closing.
The decline in securities prices in
the afternoon was accompanied by a
break in cotton of 100 points or more.

Full many flower is born to blush
