THE GAS QUESTION

Well. just as the Press has long
predicted, Hamilton users Of gas are
to be held up and shook down. Mr.
Denning, agent Of the Ohio Fuel and
Supply Company, appeared before
council Monday evening and submitted
a contract calling for 40 cent gas to
the city. Mr.. Denning minced no
words about tit is" either take it or
leave it alone And further, Mr..
Denning gives no assurance that Ham
ilton win get a plentiful supply of gas
during the winter months. Nice sit
uation. We don't like to rehash old
stuff, but as stated before, the Press
has warned against this very situation
for more than a year past. A new
contract should have been negotiated
for months ago, then the Ohio Fuel
Supply Company could nave been
talked to more easily. In connection
with the whole affair the Daily News
on Wednesday night said
THE Gard-Denning gas deal put up
to city council on Monday night, will
find opposition in Hamilton
IL. D. Denning, agent of the Fuel
supply Company, was met by the
Cards and was with them several
hours before he presented his "abso-
lutely final" proposition for Ascent
gas to the city council Monday.

Proven By French Rail
Workers in Recent
Strike

Paris, France.-The theory that
trade unionism is necessary to protect
workers even thoug strong labor laws
exist is again sustained by the re-
cent general strike of French railroad
workers. The origin and significant
ending of this strike have been con-
cealed by the public press.
The strike was caused by the dis
missal of a worker named Campa-
maud, who was employed by the Paris,
Lyon & Mediterranean railroad, and
who is a member Of the executive
board Of the Federation of Railway
Workers Eight days prior to meet
ing of the board Campanaud asked for
a leave Of absence. It did not reach
him in time. and following his usual
custom he left without the permit.
When he returned he was discharged
for "insubordination"
The Federation Of Railway Workers
demanded his reinstatement on the
ground that this practice had been fol
lowed before, that the company had
received ample notice, that it did not
order him to remain at work and that
the French labor laws guarantee to
workers the right to organize INTO
trade unions and to conduct union bus
mess.
The company refused to reinstate
Campanaud, and the workers connect
ed this attitude with the nationwide
campaign that is being carried on by
employers against the trade union
movement The workers appealed to
the government without success.
The workers then accepted this chal-
lenge Of the powerful railroad com
pany and called out 100000 employees.
The French railroad traffic was par
alyzed, and the government began
mobilizing the strikers with the rail-
road managers as their military
chiefs, thus subiectng the strikers to
court martial law if they refused to
return to work
The French Federation Of Labor,
representing 100000 organized
workers. became interested and the
government then notified the railroad
officials to reinstate Campanaud and
all strikers. Before returning to
work the strikers took advantage Of
the situation and improved working
conditions.
When the French railroad workers
called a general strike in 1910 it was
broken over night by the government
ordering general mobilization.
Every railroad employe was called to
the colors. This year the government
applied the same method, but in less
daring manner A partial mobiliza-
tion of 10000 strikers was called. i
is claimed that the government issued
this partial mobilization order as q
| "feeler."

they would otherwise buy and will
buy. and this means in a short time
many suits of overalls being hung
away which may not see the light
again for many days. About all the
move is going to accomplish is a great
demand for overalls, which means
the running up of price until the poor
devil who wears them every day will
find it cheaper to wear his Sunday
clothes in the shop. Columbus, Ohio,
it seems to US, has the real right idea
on this. The old clothes and old
shoes club. This means that the wife
and the girls have some excuse for
wearing that last year coat that they
are afraid to wear because of criti-
cism. Pop" could come out in some
of those old suits and be right up to
the minute. Isn't this really the bet
ter plan? We wear what we already
have and don't run up something in
price that only the poor man really
uses. How long do you suppose these
society swells and grandstand political
| office holders are going to stay in
overalls? All bosh.

REPUTATION

What cares the mail order house
whether or not you are pleased with
the goods it sends you?
You are just one of a long, long
list of customers and the sucker
list" contains thousands upon thou
sands of names to draw from if you
quit
But the home merchant must please
you
In the first place you see what you
are buying
Secondly, if you are not satisfied
with your purchase after getting it
home you can exchange it or get your
money back.
The home merchant can stay in bus
mess only 50 long as he can please
his customers and maintains his repu-
tation for fairness.
He is your protection against in
ferior goods and dishonest practices.
Can't you see that it is the best and
cheapest in the long run and more
satisfactory to buy at home?

BONDS DEFEATED

Both the library and parks and
Fairgrounds bond issues We're turned
down by the voters on Tuesday. This
is very much to be regretted, as both
propositions meant much to the ad-
vancement of the city Especially is
this true Of the parks and Fairgrounds
as our city lacks very much in both
these features One might enumer-
ate many causes for the defeat of the
bonds. The small home owner fears
additional taxes at this time of high
prices of living commodities, and like
wse many renters voted against the
bonds because experience has taught
that every time taxes are raised be-
cause of some special assessment the
landlord increases rents to the extent
of profteering. This experience was
met at the time the flood tax was as
sessed, when landlords whose flood tax
amounted to $12 or $14 a year in
creased rents $50 and $48 a year. But
the chief reason for the failure Of the
bonds was the apathy and Indifference
to voting displayed by those really
favoring the bonds Only about $500
votes were cast out of the nearly
10000 voting population of the city.
There is a certain element from all
classes, rich and poor alike, which op-
poses anything and everything propos-
ed for the good of the city. This ele-
ment always votes. 1t is safe to say,
had the nearly 5000 who failed to vote
on Tuesday gone to the polls and ex-
pressed their sentiments, that fully
80 per cent of them would have cast
their votes for the bonds and they
would have carried These are the
fellows to blame for the bonds defeat.

HENRY FORD SAYS:

at would surpise many employers
of labor to learn that the unrest
among their men does not primarily
concern money That is to say, the
central thought of the major part Of
our citizens who are becoming con
cerned about our social and industrial
problems is not more money at any
cost, but Justice"
Certainly justice will mean more
money in many places Certainly no
industry can be said to be justifying
itself which survives at the expense of
its employees and thrives upon their
losses.
But there is this to say, if justice
were done and it so happened that
justice did not mean more money,
there would be a great wave of real,
not temporary, contentment sweep
over the working world.
If it were shown and proven that
wages as they exist everywhere today
were strictly just and equitable, form
ing an unimpeachable balance be-
tween producer and consumer, there
would be instant satisfaction with the
wage scale.
Why? Because what men miss is
not the extra money in their pay en-
velope, but the sense Of justice il
their hearts. They want to live in .

not its deprivation, but its reflection
that the other side Of poverty is tht
injustice of successful greed"
