THE 44-HOUR WEEK

Speaking of the 44-hour week and
the strike of the printers throughout
the country, the editor of the Hamil-
ton Daily News says
ut is a grave question whether the
whole world would not suffer if work
were generally cut to "A hours per
week 1t is a question whether enough
could be produced to enable mankind
to advance in comfort, civilization and
wealth."
In answer to the above we would
refer the News editor to the millions
of unemployed of today as to whether
enough could be PRODUCED if these
millions were working Al hours each
week.
The editor further says:
"If the 44-hour week had merit it
would prevail. But the world knows
that it must have more, rather than
less, work if it is ever to be back on
it's feet"
In this we agree with the editor
that the world will have to have
MORE WORK if it is to get back on
its feet, and we suggest to the editor
if he will secure Al hours work each
week for the millions who are unem-
ployed today he will be making a big
start to setting the world on it's feet.

HOW ABOUT A LABOR PAPER
WEEK?

Do you subscribe for the labor
newspaper in your locality? Are you
one of the fellows who for some
trivial reason forget that most i'm
portant duty? Have you had some
little difference with the editor of
such paper-something of a personal
nature that should not be carried to
extremes-that is the cause of your
cutting him from your list? If so,
you should think the matter over
seriously and come to the conclusion
that you are very silly. If some one
outside of unions said that your great
est fault was that you did not CO.
operate with your brothers you would
probably correct them by saying that
you entertained no such animus. Yet
maybe some trivial difference keeps
your name off the mailing list of your
local labor paper. Recently the
Catholic Welfare Council decided to
have a Catholic newspaper week."
through which it was hoped that every
Catholic family in this country would
subscribe to some Catholic newspaper
The move met with a great deal of
success. Catholic organizations were
circularized, and good arguments
presented why this should be done.
A commendable move, I'll say. Why
cannot we have labor paper week"
in which every labor organization
would get behind the labor papers
and see that every man who carried
a union card was a subscriber to his
union newspaper. No one realizes
the uphill work labor editors have
except those connected Herewith,
and the sooner we change tactics the
sooner labor as a whole will attain
a higher sphere of perfection. So, if
you do not now subscribe for the la
Dor newspaper in your section, send
in your dollar or two dollars and also
word of cheer for ye editor, who is
doing the best he can with the re-
sources at his William P. |

PUSH THE ELECTRIC PLANT

City council passed an ordinance
Tuesday night authorizing the SER
vice director to employ an expert en-
gineer to survey the present electric
light plant and advise to just what
is best to do for the city's future in
the way of electric current-whether
to rebuild the old plant or erect new
one.
1t is hoped that the engineer so en-
ployed will get busy on the job so that
the information necessary in connec-
tion with this important problem can
be obtained at the earliest opportun-
ity and further delay avoided.
There is no question whatever that
there must be something done in the
matter, and it must be done soon.
There is no question whatever but
that certain interests-certain peo-
ple-are very desirous of delaying
in fact, stopping altogether the city's
going in for this improvement on its
own account. And there is no doubt
that the voting of the $650,000 bonds
by the people was a great surprise
and a greater disappointment to GER
tain interests and certain people. If
they had entertained the least idea
whatever that the bonds would pass
they would have done everything pos
sible to prevent submitting the prop
osition to the people. They looked
for the bonds to be overwhelmingly
defeated. But the people fooled them
It can't be put over on the people all
the time. Now those opposed to the
building of a new plant by the city,
will put forth every effort and lay
every obstacle in its path to prevent
it.
Why? you may ask. Go ask some
of the people who have electric current
to sell, and some of those who are
trying to help those who have it to
sell to get the city to buy it. Ask
some of those fellows, who when ap-
preached by the mayors committee
to furnish the city with current told
that committee that it had no current
for the city of Hamilton, thinking
that they could force the city to sell
its plant when they would have the
city's electric consumers by the throat
and force them to pay any old price
for current, but when the city prompt
ly voted the bonds for a new plant
these people fell over themselves get
ting offers to the city to furnish cur
rent-current that they have on their
hands and don't know what to do with
and which, if they can get it into the
city, will mean hundreds of thousands
of dollars to the owners-ask some of
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1921-06-10

these people why they don't want the
city to build an electric light plant!
They can best tell you; they are in the
best position to know.
And then again--ask some of those
who seem so anxious to keep before
us the information that the new plant
will cost more than $1,O00,O00. May
be they can tell you why they do this.
The machinery has been well oiled,
and is in good working order to pre-
vent the building of an electric light
plant in Hamilton.
1t is now up to Service Director
Mason to push this matter along.
Let US have action!

COAL PROFITEERS WIN AGAIN
Last winter the senate committee
on reconstruction, headed by Senator
Calder, of New York, occupied much
space in the newspapers. 1t was ex-
posing the coal profiteers and demon
strating that the consumers had been
robbed of something like billion
dollars in one year Senator Calder
and some of his colleagues had a
great deal to say about drastic rem
edies" and they even intimated that
it might be necessary to nationalize
the mines.
The profiteers were alarmed but
not dismayed They kept right on
exploiting the public, but evidently
found time to bring little "pres-
sure" to bear on congress. The re-
suit is seen in the final report of the
committee on reconstruction filed
with the senate two weeks ago. 1t is
indeed a toothless document. Instead
of naturalization it suggests gath
ering and publishing information
about the coal business"
The people have all the information
they want about the coal business
They have been told in a thousand
pages of printed testimony that they
are being ruthlessly plundered. They
want definite suggestions as to how
the robbery may be stopped. The
Calder report does not furnish that
information.
WHO CAUSED THE DISTIN-
GUISHED MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE TO APPLY THE SOFT
PEDAL?
A detailed answer to that question
would be infinitely more interesting
than additional information concern
ing the pilfering of the coal barons.

"THE CLOSED SHOP"

The "open shop" is an expression
generally confined to labor organiza-
tions, but the "closed shop" applies
as we'll among business and profess
sional organizations. If a doctor
"sticks out his shingle" and does not
join the medical society he is not
considered ethical; if a lawyer at
tempts to practice and does not join
the bar association he doesn't get very
far; and the banker, where would he
be if he did not join the bankers as
sociation - and contribute to the
American Defense League? All of
these are "closed shop" institutions,
but when labor organization says it
will not work with those who do not
belong to their organization, it is
heralded as crime, and members of
the business and professional organi-
cations join in boosting for the "open
shop" and advocate the destruction
of labor organizations by law. And
that is what is now On foot through
the administration of the Allen court
of industrial relations, and that is
also the reason that the public is be-
ng poisoned against Alex Howat, who

'ole purpose of destroying his organ

PRESIDENT HARDING'S WAGE
STANDARD

Addressing a group of business
men in New York on the occasion of
a recent visit, President Harding
said:
"In our efforts to establish indus
trial justice we must see that the
wage Garner is placed in an econom-
ically sound position. His LOWEST
wage must be enough for comfort,
ENOUGH TO MAKE HIS HOUSE
A HOME, enough to insure that the
struggle for existence will not crowd
out the things truly worth existing
for"
In that simple statement the pres
ident has given formula fer endur-
ing industrial tranquility in this coun-
try. We take it for granted that he
weighed the meaning of his words
and meant exactly what he said.
Accepting the standard set up by
the president, what is the lowest wage
that American workers should re-
ceive?
A number of cost-of- living studies
have been made in recent years. The
latest comes from the bureau of mu-
nicipal research, New York insti-
tuition which has no connection with
the labor movement, and is based on
prices prevailing in February and
March of this year.
The bureau finds that to maintain
the average family of fve-father,
mother and three children-according
to minimum standard of health
and comfort" the annual income must
be $2,269.55.
The incomes of the great majority
of American workers are very much
below that figure.
Take the lowest paid workers on the
railroads. There are 100000 of them
and they are now receiving 48 cents
an hour and the labor board has just
ordered a reduction, effective July 1.
If these men worked eight hours
every working day in the year at the
Ascent rate, their gross incomes
would be less than $1,000, or $1,000
below the minimum set by the bureau
of municipal research.
Even the skilled mechanics in the
railroad shops, who are now receiving
85 cents an hour-and who are also
asked to accept reduction on July /
can only earn $2,108 a year, unless
they secure Overtime"
These calculations are all based on
the theory that the men not only
work every working day, but that
they are never sick and never take a
vacation.
We repeat that we are not dispos-
ed to question President Harding's
but something more than
fair words are required at this time.
The presidents representatives on
the railroad labor board and the ship
ping board are ACTING while the
president is TALKING. They are in
sisting on reducing wages which ac-
,ording to the presidents own stand
ards are too low.
What the workers demand is that
hose who know what is right shall
square their conduct with their knowl-
,dge.

JUSTICE is HERE

POSITION OF UNION LABOR
When inconvenience is caused tenn
porarily by the workers in their
efforts to overcome obstinate and un-
justifable opposition in the struggle
for improvements there is usually
public clamor and protest, but when
the employers for profit adopt policies
that strike at the support of human
life the public clamor and the high
minded protest are absent.
Labor does not challenge the oper-
alton of sound economic laws govern
ing the determination of wages.
Nevertheless it insists that wages
shall be sufficient to maintain such
improved conditions as have been
gained by organization.

1t seems the city council is deter

hoped that the street car company
would look at things in the right light
and move it's tracks to the center of

one concerned is in accord with the
proposed action of council to improve
this important inlet to the city. 1t

MEMPHIS HAS

[ " the CAlIt7u SSS-t
Birmingham, Ala, Aug. c3.-With
the end of the Southern league sea
son less than 80 days away, the only
remaining point of interest is who
will be runner-up to Memphis.
Spencer Abbott's machine this
year performed a feat unprecedent-
ed in Southern league quarters.
Taking the lead on the first day it
has never since been displaced. 1t
will finish the season without even
having moved out of first place.
New Orleans now bids fair to fin
ish second with Birmingham a poor
third and Little Rock winding up
the first division. II any element
of uncertainty is still to be intro
duced in the league. Birmingham
will furnish it in the struggle to re-
gain second place.
Little Rock, over $50 points be-
hind, is not regarded as dangerous.
The year has been none to sue
cessful in the Southern league.
Economy depression has been felt
In every city and this condition was
aggravated by lack of interest due
to the commanding lead maintained
by Memphis at all times.
So serious did the situation at one
time become that split season was
considered but in Difference to the
prestige of the Southern league the
idea was abandoned and the weaker
clubs promised to struggle through.
Mobile has suffered the keenest.
Indeed the Bear city furnished an
all-tlme record for Iowa attendance
when less than two hundred people
paid to see a doubleheader there.
and Chattanooga have
both lost money while Atlanta and
New Orleans have broken even.
Birmingham has barely gotten more
than an even break while Memphis
should have made good money if
expenses have not eaten up the mar
gin.
