LABOR DAY PLANS
Progressing Nicely--Many
Attraction Being
Secured
Fireworks Display To Be
One of the Best Seen
Here

The committee having in charge
the big twenty-ninth annual celebra-
tion and outing to be held on Labor
Day is working hard and bending
every effort to make this years the
biggest and best ever. The celebra-
tion and outing will take place at the
Butler county fairgrounds.
At the meeting of the committee
held Friday night all members were
present except two. Considering the
large number composing the commit
tee this is fine record, and only
shows the interest and enthusiasm be-
ing displayed by those concerned in
the success of the big event.
All the various subcommittee re-
ported much progress in their various
departments, and gave assurance that
every little detail is being given its
proper attention.
The A. L. Due Fireworks Company,
to whom was awarded the contract
for the big fireworks display, was
again heard from, assuring the COM
mittee that the company intends to
give the people of Hamilton one of
the finest displays ever witnessed in
this vicinity. The display is to in
clude many special set pieces and de-
vices.
The Women's Union Label League,
which has charge of the country store,
reports wonderful success in soliciting
prizes for the store, and promise the
most complete country store ever
seen on the fairgrounds. Leave it to
the ladies to make success of any
thing they undertake.
Many concessions are being applied
for, and those which the committee
does not intend to conduct themselves
will be sold to others.
Amusements galore are being pro-
vided for so that every one who at
tends is assured of entertainment the
whole day long.
There will be no parade this year
so that the union men and women will
not be tired out through making the
long march usually made in a hot sun.
This will make every one feel as
fresh as daisy and ready for a whole
day of sport and pleasure.
The gates will open promptly at 9
o'clock. The price of admission will
be the same as that of last year
25 cents for gents and 10 cents for
ladies. The COOPERATIVE Trades and
Labor Council extends cordial in
vitation to every one to fill basket
and come out to the fairgrounds and
make day of it as their guests on
Labor Day.

CAN'T BLUFF EN-

Clearfield, Pa.-If Thomas H. Wat,
kins was throwing out a "feeler"
when he suggested wage reductions
for miners in this district, he receiv-
ed an unexpected answer. Mr.. Wat
kins is president of the Pennsylvania
coal and coke corporation. A recent
wage-cut speech by him has been
given wide circulation, and the min
ers reply, "No broken contract; no
wage reduction" The coal owner
wants wages reduced and the miners
to sever connection with the United
Mine Workers To all of which the
workers reply, NAY, nay" And the
language they use is so plain that
Mr.. Watkins can understand.
No suggestion is made by the coal
owner that his profits be cut. In 1916
these profits were $1S1 ,675; in 1917
$2,589,614; in 1918, $2,232, ,371; in
1919. $800,158.

CHURCH MEN
Defend Their Industrial Pol.
icy

New York-In it's Labor Sunday
message for 1921, the Federal Coun-
ell of the Churches of Christ in Amer
ica, vigorous answer is made to crit
les of it's industrial policy The mes
sage says:
"The message for this Labor Sun
day is set against a background of
suffering and confusion. The land is
filled with unemployment. Possibly
one-fourth, of the population are
strained and anxious. Thousands of
employers are holding their indus
tries together merely from day to
day. Labor is fighting for its funda-
mental right of collective action and
fighting at serious disadvantage.
The freedom of the ministry to pro-
claim a social gospel and to apply
it according to their own honest con-
victions is sharply challenged. Even
the common right of citizens to free
dom of speech and assembly in many
communities is at stake.
"The economic and industrial fac
tors that condition the lives of men
and women and help to make them
what they become are as much con-
cern of the church as any other phase
of their moral environment. An in
dustrial practice that cramps and de-
vitalizes human beings in body or in
spirit is as much a foe of religion as
is the liquor traffic. The church can
not ignore the one any more than it
can ignore the other"

HONOR LAFAYETTE

Washington-Am labor has
been asked to appropriately refer" to
Lafayette day in all labor day cele.
brations. The request was conveyed
in a letter to President Gompers from
Maurice Leon, recording secretary OF
the Lafayette committee.
Last year Lafayette day fell on Che
same day as Labor Day. This year
Lafayette day follows on the next
day after Labor Day.
Added interest in Lafayette day is
found in the fact that the anniversary
of the first battle of the Marne falls
on the same day. President Gompers
is requested to convey to the labor
movement the desire of the LaFay-
cite national committee.

LOAN COMPANY
Started BY UniOnists That
Members May Build
Homes

Washington-In a letter to Presi-
dent Gompers, chairman of the A. f.
of L. bureau of information and pub
licity, James G. Henley, editor of the
Jackson (Mich.) Square Deal, tells
how trade unionists in that city block
ed building loan associations that re-
fused to loan money to wage earners
for building purposes until wages
had come down"
The Home Owners Loan Associa-
ton, chartered by the state with $780,
900 capitalization and Differed by
union men, is the result, says the
Michigan labor editor, who adds that
nearly all the stock is sold and that
increased capitalization will be neces-
sary.
''The purpose of the association is
to loan money to its members to build
homes. The shares are for $1,000, and
YOU pay 25 cents per week per share.
The association loans up to two
thirds of the value of the property.
This association was the result OF
four loan associations refusing to
loan money to buiiG homes until
wages had come down. At the same
time it is said that over 100000 of
the funds of the associations were
used to build store and factory build
ings. The members of organized Ia
Dor did not relish having their money
used for the purpose of lowering
wages. 1t was surprising how many
members of organized labor had a
nest egg that they wished to leave
with the new loan association. Their
money draws about 6 per cent and a
large number took their savings out OF
the banks and put it where it could
not be used against them"

SAW GUARDS ARE
URGED

Olympia, Wash.-The state depart.
ment of labor and industries con.
tinues its campaign for lumber mills
of this state. The lack of safety ap.
pliances around these saws has caus.
ed the loss of fingers and hands tc
hundreds of shingle weavers. The
loss in disabilities resulting from
amputated fingers and hands is al.
most beyond computation from a mon.
etary standpoint, it is said.

IMPORTING DERELICTS

Sydney, New South Wales, Aus
tralia.-Trade unionists charge that
derelict immigrants are being import
ed from England for the purpose OF
eventually attacking the powerful
Australian Workers Union. The
unionists refer to recent statement
by the Sydney Sun, which gleefully
stated that among these immigrants
"strikes are taboo and there is no
union"
Organized labor is suspicious that
the scheme is to plant nurseries of
non-unionists at different points in
Australia.
