MAKING OF
 A PICTURE
Leaps From Brooklyn Bridge Into Waters
 of East River.

New York, April 27.-On the deck of tug in the East rlver a number of motion picture cameras clicked.
 Not far distant stood the great Brooklyn bridge.
 El1e cameras kept clicking.
 All eyes were turned upward-gaz- ing at fgure-a living fgure-on the topmost heights.
 And still the cameras clicked.
 The figure above was none other than Daniel Carone.
 Daniel, puf11ing a cigarette, stood on she very edge of the great structure.
 And then, cameras still clicking, the expected or unexpected happened.
 The figure, still pufing 8 cigarette had taken the awful leap.
 Down-down-down came Daniel Ca rome. his graceful figure sinking for a few moments only.
 Beats were in readiness, and his res cue was accomplished with little effort, unharme6.
 Carone had 1eaped from height of 133 fest. and another great moving pie trre had been made.

WITHOUT A UNION

Unemployment is not the fault Of
the individual employer He also is
the victim of the present situation.
But it is the fault Of some employers
that they are taking advantage Of
labor's dire necessity to try to
squelch unionism. Here is the Re
publican Publicity Association declar-
ing war on Mr. Gompers just as if
he were a Bolshevik It wakes right

dependent worker who faces "starva-
tion and death" if he fails TO assign
his independence" to the union

ATTENTION, WORKINGMEN!
Every home is being forced to con-
tribute to the fight against union la
bor Every union man has to put in
his share to fight his own organiza-
ton. Articles of merchandise, which
must be had in order to live, and which
are produced by advocates Of the open
shop plan, are being forced upon the
unwilling union man, and if he buys an
article which does not bear the union
label, he is contributing to the fund
which is being raised to put his organ
ization out of existence.
Thousands of union men are being
laid off, and after being out Of work
a week or 50, are offered employment
on the open shop basis, union con
tracts are being openly violated, be-
ing termed by this Hunnish organiza-
tion Of employers as mere scraps Of
paper and not worth the paper they
are drawn upon; workers are told
that they are to be driven out of the
union, and that the union shall be
crushed out Of existence; that the
unions have become too cocky, too in
and they shall be curbed.

IT LEAST THE PLANS

With the award by Judges Murphy

gineer Fred NJ. Hammerle for the pur
pose, 1T looks as though we are sure
Of at least getting plans and specif
cations for the new bridge near Coke
Otto. But if the county commissioners
can stall off for more than four
months less than $4,000 worth Of the
big improvement, how long will it be
before we get the other nearly S400,
600 worth? Reading the courts de-
cision in the matter it would seem
that someone ought to have learned
a lesson before this time and SOME
ONE should take heed. There ought
not to be any more monkey business
in connection with this big job; there
ought to be a getting down to brass
tacks. AS the Press stated last week,
there has been a nasty odor connected
with this transaction, and plainly
speaking, there has been a nasty sus-
picion connected with it and there has

BRISBANE AT 1T AGAIN

Arthur Brisbane, in the Hearst
papers, takes rap at big business
once in a while that harts. Here's
one Of his latest effusions:
There is little moral difference be-
tween Mendez tying shipwrecked
mems hands, stabbing them to death,
and the fnancier Of today who would
precjpitate lack of employment, build
up the bread line, and destroy unions
in order to bring workingmen to
their senses.
whether you tis up men and stab
them with knives or tie up factories
and starve men through unemploy-
ment, what's the difference?"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1921-03-18

takes, but that unionism itself is
wrong. They ought to read history
and know how entirely labor has de-
pended upon organization for any ad-
vance that it has made in living con-
ditions
The very men who talk about the
dignity Of the individual laborer who
is free to match his strength against
the might of the steel corporation
would damn to the lowest pit of hell
the individual who boasted of his in
dependence because he was man
without a country 1t ought to be OBJ
vious to the most superficial mind
that the worker is as much depend
ent upon his fellow workers and owes
at least as much loyalty to them as a
man owes to his fellow citizens in the
city or state.
Unions may have their faults; their
philosophy may be inadequate to the
time; but the last way in the world
to cure these evils is to extoll scab-
bing as a virtuous practice or to try
to make it appear that any man is
selfish who, because he thinks his
own individual interests are not fur
thered by the union, holds aloof from
this one practical expression Of work
ing class solidarity. One type Of
unionism may give place to another,
evils in unions may be abolished, but
they will be abolished by the unionist
and not BY the scab, who, though the
hero Of the publicity men, is the dupe
of the employer

STEEL TRUST EMOTIONALISM
Steel trust publicity agents are
grinding out oozy, nursery prattle on
the necessity for capital (meaning
capitalism and labor to make sac
rifice." This propaganda includes
statements which trust heads sign
and have published in newspapers as
their observations The process is
intended to prepare the trusts unor-
ganized workers for wage cuts when
steel prices may be reduced, and to
manufacture a public opinion that will
be used against these workers if they
dare resist. Thdse alleged interviews
affect an air Of fairness, but they
wither under the most superficial anal
ysis.
If steel prices are cut the capital
ist makes no real sacrifice. His living
standard is not touched The money
he actually invests is protected by a
mortgage called bonds-on iron ore
mines, mills, equipment,etc. This in
terest is a charge on the industry, as
is the cost of raw material, its manu-
facture and transportation, as well as
princely wages called salaries =
which it is noticed he does not offer
to reduce. All those charges must be
met before profits are considered.
Recently John skelton Williams,
then comptroller of the currency,
showed BY the trusts figures for
1918 that its profits that year would
permit it to cut the prices Of its pro-
ducts $50 a ton, double wages Of its
10000 employers and officials, pay
dividends on its bonds and still have
surplus Of $10,0o0oOo.
When the steel workers wage is
lowered he sacrifices IN the full mean
ing of the word-as his wife and little
ones can testify.
The steel magnate.s living stand
ards are not involved when prices are
reduced, but the worker must hive on
less when wages are reduced.
One consents to lessening Of in
ordinate profts--with his interest
quaranteed-the other must tighten
his belt and reduce the food necessary
for Americas future citizens. One
agrees to cut profits on reinyested
profits, watered stock and credit that
is capitalized, while the other must
cut the milk ration for kiddies and
see their general living standard low
cred.
This is the condition under which
steel calls upon i and 13-hour serfs
to join with it in making sacrifice.
This talk is sob stuff. 1t is intend
ed to develop among workers a sickly
enotionalism unworthy Of Americans.
The worker is the only one who sac
rifles.

GO TO CHURCH
Sunday, Palm Sunday, has been
designated as Go to Church Sunday"
and everyone is asked to attend some
church on that day. Special observ-
ance of the day will take place in
many of the churches, special ser
mons will be preached. Even though
you have not been attending church
or haven't any church you might call
your own, pick out one Of them and
attend its services on Sunday morn
ing and then see how much better you
will feel during the balance of the
day for having done so. Just this,
however (and this to some of the
slackers and back -sliders) don't feel
that if you do go to church Sunday
that you are doing some one a special
favor thereby Just get that idea
out Of your head. You are the one
that is being favored; you are the
one that is getting the good out Of
it, and should deem it a privilege to
attend. Anyhow, go to church Sun

the net revenue contemplated by that
act. the association said In a statement
tonight.

since last December. showed a surplus
A deficit of more than $3.50. 600 was re-
turned in January and OF s7.37S.oO0 in

marked reduction in the cost of opera
tion caused by the Institution OF various
economies and reduction by many

Corn and oats were easier with
wheat. although steadied more or less
