Delegates By Hamiltonans

| That the delegates attending the
| Ohio State Federation of Labor con-
f, vention here last week were well
pleased with the treatment they re-
ceived while in our city, is shown in
the following resolution adopted dur
ing the closing session.:
Resolution No. 80
WHEREAS, The cycle of time has
again noted the passing of Conven-
tion of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor, and as we return to our va
rious abodes, the delegates to the 38th
annual convention adopt the follow
ing resolutions, and spread the same
upon the record.
RESOLVED, That we deem our
selves fortunate in having been
brought to the city of Hamilton. Dur
ing our deliberations, we have met
the kindliest consideration from all;
and these evidences of good will by
the people of Hamilton, Ohio, have
been gift of a substantial part of
the good and civic virtue in which the
community abounds. We thank the
Honorable Mayor Smith and his as
sociates in the city government for
their considerate attention to our well
fare and their most cordial welcome
to enter their CITY oates the KEYS of
which were so ably and graciously
presented by "Hizzoner," who will
always hold an enshrined position in
the hearts Of labor by reason of his
many activities in their behalf.
We thank the student body of the
Hamilton High School for the inter
est taken in our proceedings, an event
without precedent in the annals of the
State Federation and assure them that
our deliberations always have been
for the good of the rising generation,
who, sooner or later, will displace us
in the movement for progress; to
them we would "throw the torch of
liberty" and bid them ''hold it high"
for upon them the care of the ideals
of good government, good citizen
ship and good Americanism shall fall.
We congratulate the people of Ham
ilton on the most happy unity we find
between their city government,

MINE-CAVE ACT
Is Held Invalid and Coal
Owners Grin

Wilkes-Barre, Pa.-The state law
designed to safeguard life and prop
erty against dangers from mine cave
ins is unconstitutional, rules Common
Pleas Judge Fuller.
Coal owners in this section have
been failing to properly support their
excavations. and life and property are
jeopardized and communities terror
lied. After much agitation the state
legislature passed the Kohler bill,
which is now set aside.
The court held that there is no
public interest involved, as it is mere
ly question of whether the legisla-
ture "can give to private owner of
surface the right of support against
an owner of the underlying coal"
The court held that if the mine
owner is deprived of the right to mine
coal without support, contract is
violated without compensation
The court pleaded that it possesses
IAN old-fashioned mind" and followed
fundamental law, even when it con-
fiicts with the comfort and security of
individuals"
The decision means much to coal
owners, in view of the high cost of
lumber that is used in building these
supports that are intended to stop
mine cave-ins,

R. R. EARNINGS
GAIN

Washington.-Mo than 80 per
cent of the 203 class | railroads of
this country will give Il return of 5
per cent of their valuation during
August, reports the interstate com
merce commission. This is a near ap-
proach, in times of depression, to the
guarantee provided in the Cummins-
Esch act.
1t is expected that full reports will
show an operating income Of $780,
00O, 900 for August. To earn the
percent return, for which the inter
state commerce commission raised
rates "a year ago, the income must be
$104 100000.
1t is stated that the railroads have
cut expenses Az per cent over the
corresponding month last year,
Despite these figures, the railroads
are crying for lower wages, but no
suggestion is made that their interest
guarantee be decreased.

Communications we're received from
the Worker, labor paper of FIT.
Wayne, Ind, and one from the Car
penters and Joiners' Union Of that city
in which they ask information regard
ing the record and pedigree of Harold
Gully. Gully at one time was secre-
tary of the Manufacturers Associa-
ton of this city, and is now the sec
retary of the Manufacturers Associa-
tion of FIT. Wayne. From the tone of
the communication Gully must be mix
ing things up pretty well in the Hoos-
ier state The letters were ordered
complied with.
Under the head of reports of dele
gates, some of the organizations were
reported as part of their members
working full time, while many report
ed members working short time.
Delegates from the Stage Employ
es' Union reported that the Gem The
atre on High street is still unfair to
their organization. They also state
that they have information that union
men and their families are patronizing
this theatre. They further serve no.
tice that they are going to picket the
place and report the names of union
men to the council.
The convention committee gave a
partial report of the receipts and dis
bursements of the convention. All of
the money has not been received and
a few small bills may yet be outstand-
ing, but a neat little sum will be left
in the treasury to be turned over to
the council. The chair also stated
that the delegates were more than
pleased with the treatment they re-
ceived in this city, and many of them
were of the opinion that the next con-
vention should be held here.
The house committee made a par
tial report of conditions around the
building. Financially the labor tenn
pie is now in fine shape and all of the
bills and obligations have been paid.
The council meets again in two
weeks and all delegates should be
there.

AMERICAN PRESS LAUDS LABOR
FOR ITS DISARMAMENT POLICY

The Philadelphia Public Ledger
says;
''The nation needs something like
this to dramatize and unity It's un-
doubted hopes and desires for the de-
mobilization nf great armies and the
reduction Of mighty navies. 1t will
help in impressing upon our own
government and upon other govern
NETS that the people are weary of
warmade tax burdens; that they are
deeply in earnest in their demands
that these burdens be removed. 1t
will strengthen the purpose of the
four men who are to represent Amer
lea to know they have the support of
the workers and the voters.
''The action of organized labor will
help in liberating and directing these
moral forces;' but labor cannot do it
alone. There are others of these
forces that cannot be tapped or di-
rected by labor and these must come
into action. The time is drawing nigh
| for their mobilization"
The st. Louis Post-Dispatch says:
"The A. F. of l.. Is undertaking q
service Of the first magnitude In plan
ming national demonstration on
Armistice Day"
The Syracuse (N. Y.) Journal says:
"The A. F. of l.. leadership IS to be
congratulated upon it's purpose to
arouse a strong and aggressive popu-
lar opinion among the union member
ship favorable to backing up our
government in it's leadership toward
disarmament"
Similar expressions are voiced by

HOW RATES CAN BE
CUT

Harrisburg, Pa-Samuel Rea, pres
ident of the Pennsylvania railroad,
has informed an expectant public how
railroad rates can be cut.
The first thing necessary is for
congress to vote that $500,000,000 to
the roads. Next, reduce wages; then
change working conditions; revise all
laws that interfere with the "initia-
tive" of railroads and tax all motor
trucks that compete with railroads.
Mr.. Rhea is confident that rates can
be reduced if the details he suggests
are arranged.
He also announced that the Penn
sylvania railroad will not obey rul-
ings of the United States railroad la
Dor board when Convinced they are
wrong"
