STEEL STRIKE LESSON

President Tighe, of the Amalg&-
mated Association of Iron. Steel and
Tin Workers, declares that the lessons
organized labor can learn from the
steel strike will be invaluable, fo~ it
has given them an opportunity to
single out real friends and sympa
thizers from the multitude of profes
sional hypocrites, political and other
wise, who are proficient in lip service
and nothing else.
"The fact" he says, that the
workers mighty protest of oppression
and repression was put in operation
to crush them, does not settle the ques
tions involved, nor will it bring that
peace and harmony, as well as good
will, which every true lover of our
country's progress desires.
"The failure to secure that for
which the workers in the steel mills
ceased work is not defeat in any sense,
for unless history reverses itself
every failure Of like character have
been stepping stones to ultimate sue
cess.
"Statisticians will, no doubt, come
forward with an array Of figures
showing the monetary loss, as well as
the loss of time and production which
viii run into enormous sums by their
calculations, but upon the one all-im-
portant factor, more beneficial to gov
ernment and people than any losses
maintained there will be no mention,
for money, time or production can
not be measured.
The information that the govern
ment and the world at large has re
ceived Of the conditions where under
the supposed paternal guardianship
Of the great corporations countless
thousands of toilers had been labor
ing for from five to 20 years without
learning the rudiments of American
citizenship or the language Of the
country, bearing a close Relationship
| to beasts of burden as it were, through
long hours Of toll making it inpossi
bic to even observe, not alone cult
vate, the customs of our country. vii

perhaps that cry Greater Hamilton,
providing that that cry brings some
thing to satisfy selfish motives. There
are nasty rumors floating around that
won't look good on those they light on.
1t may be alright for few if electric
current is purchased from some out
side corporation, but it will be bad
for the taxpayers as whole if this
thing should come to pass. And, too,
there are other elections coming along
in the future, and people may not for
get, and we might add that The Press
is going to help them to remember
This electric light bond proposition
is one of the most important propo-
sitions that ever came before the
Hamilton public, and is not one to be
tampered with. We advise the work
ingman, who has much at stake in the
deal, to keep his eyes open and to be
on the job. And a word to the wise
should be sufficient.

If Miss Helen Taft continues her
strike talk, she may run afoul of one
of her fathers labor injunctions.
In discussing the low wage of
teachers she said she was not wholly
serious last fall when she suggested
that professors form union and
strike, but" she continued, "had
measured my words more carefully
l would have said that it would be
better for the college professors to
unite to demand higher pay, and even
perhaps to strike as a body, rather
than that they should strike individ-
ually by leaving the profession"
