AMERICAN LEGION AND
ORGANIZED LABOR


Quoting the late Commander Gal
braith as having said, "You must go
to Denver and say to the representa-
tives of the laboring people of Amer
lea that the heart of the Legion beats
for them," Col. Alvin M. Owsley,
director general of the American Le-
gion, last week addressed the Amer
lean Federation of Labor convention
at Denver, Colo.
"The time has come" said Col
Owsley, "when the men who defended
this nation from foes from without
must join hands to defend it from the
foes within; and when the great labor
ing masses of this country join hands
with their brothers in the Legion this
nation will go forward. We believe,
in the Legion, that the harmony of
this nation and the best interests of
all the people can be preserved by
upholding and defending the consti-
tuition of the United States, by wip-
ing from our statute books every law
that oppresses one for the benefit of
the other.
"Let us give to every man and wo
man in this country an equal and ex-
act justice. Let us frown down those
who would enkindle the fires of hate;
let each man believe that others are
striving to give the greatest good to
the greatest numbers, to give peace
and prosperity and happiness to the
greatest number of our people.
upon these three great pillars of
American society rests this great re-
equality of right, community
of interest and reciprocity of duty
Riches and honor and length of days
will mark the nation that rests upon
that imperishable basis"

Several months ago when the Inter-
national Typographical Union an
nounced that they wanted a forty
four hour week instead of forty eight,
the printers and publishers through
out this country and Canada let out
an awful howl. Many strikes and
lockouts have occurred in the print
ing industry through the refusal of
the employers to sign new agreements
to that effect. From bulletins issued
| weekly by the International Typo
graphical Union and the International
Printing Pressmen's Union many of
the obstinate employers have changed
their minds and have signed new
agreements with the forty-four hour
week. The two fighting printing
trades are gaining every day and

THE MILK QUESTION

We have kept off the milk ques-
ton because we are frank to admit
that we know nothing of bacteriaism
nor pasteurization other than that we
are told that the latter is for the
purpose of knocking out the former.
Whether this is to the advantage of
public health we are not in position
to say after reading the opinions of
several local physicians who seem to
be about evenly divided on the ques-
ton. If the physicians are not sure
on this question, how can anyone ex-
pect the poor hick who knows nothing
more of milk other than that it is
intended to help keep us alive to know
anything of it?
The local milk dealers have issued
statements containing figures which
seem to bear them out in their con-
tention that they are not making
more than legitimate proft-they
are not receiving more than is COM
ing to them. But that isn't the real
question. Is pasteurization really and
absolutely necessary if we are to
keep good health and remain sound
physically? Some of the doctors say
Eyes" and others say "no" to this
question. If pasteurization really
isn't absolutely necessary then it is
only an added expense to our milk.
AS stated before, we don't know and
don't want to say just what should be
done in the situation, but when it
comes to the peoples pocketbooks, if
there is any doubt, then the people
should be given the benefit of the
doubt. This doesn't mean that pas
teurization should be stopped, but on

WARNING TO ADVERTISERS

WAhNiNG IL Adv EN- lSENO
AS a protection to the advertising
public of Hamilton we believe it only
proper to warn them against unscrup-
ulous advertising solicitors now work
ing in Hamilton and who will prob
ably be back again. Some of these
men claim they are working in the
interest of organized labor, and it is
true that some of them are represent
ing labor publications, but it is not
true that LOCAL organized labor is
interested whatever in any of these
publications the men claim they rep
resent, nor does local organized labor
derive one cent of benefit from any
thing paid the publications referred
to. Some of the solicitors referred to
go as far as to let an advertiser be-
lieve that his business will be very
much affected if he turns down ''la-
bor," limiting at boycott-not in so
many words, perhaps, do they say
this, but quietly intimating such.
These fellows are treading on thin ice
and we want to warn them unless they
change their tactics some one may
face the grand jury. To the advertis-
ers, especially the manufacturers,
knowing that it is in spirit of
kindly feeling for the cause of labor
that they subscribe for space, we want
to say, pay no attention to these
solicitors who claim they represent
the cause of labor unless they can
produce credentials from the Hamil-
ton Cooperative Trades and Labor
Council or the Butler County Press,
the official organ of organized labor
in Hamilton. Better still, when they
come to you call the labor temple or
the Butler County Press and the
necessary information will be given.
Pay no attention to their yelled
threats of what may happen to you
they can do you no harm, nor-will
they do you any good.

the other hand, if we are not sure
that raw milk is harmful, why not let
those who are willing to- chance it,
use raw milk if they so desire? And
then let those who want their milk
pasteurized have it so.
This is the Press sentiments on
the milk question.

REJECT COMPANY UNION"


The Lehigh Valley railroads COM
pany union" has been given a hard
wallop. Ballots were distributed
among the workers, who were asked
to indicate their preference for their
respective trade unions or union"
that the company invented. A count
of the ballots show that the trade
unions are favored by SO per cent
of the employees.
The machinists' vote was ,463 to 80
for the trade unions; boilermakers,
422 to 8; blacksmiths, 1S3 to S; cleo
tricians, 100 to 1; railway carmen,
1879 to 40.
The vote was so emphatic that
President Loomis has publicly stated
that "the Lehigh Valley will be
equally fair with those who voted in
favor of national union representa-
ton and those who choose to handle
their own affairs"
The sting in the last part of the
announcement indicates that the de-
feat of the company union" is Bit
ter dose.

After years and years of continu-
Gus parlaying the work on the paving
of Mt. Pleasant avenue is under way.
The citizens of Lindenwald perhaps
would have waited many more years
for this improvement, if they had not
formed a little union Of their own and
demanded action. The meetings held
by the people of Lindenwald early
this year where it was possible for
them to vent their feelings, brought
home the bacon. The avenue will be
completed in a short time and every
citizen in the city will rejoice.

vict labor law and many osher laws
passed by congress in the interest OF
the people. The most persistent ar
gument labor must meet in advocat-
ing remedial legislation is that the
supreme court will declare it uncon-
stitutional.
"The antitrust laws have been in
terpreted by the courts against labor
and labor alone. The supreme court,
in passing on a law intended to curb
the evils of combinations of capital
applied so-called rule of reason to
them that was never intended by con-
gress. On the other hand, instead of
applying the rule of reason in cases
where workers are concerned it has
placed most burdensome restrictions.
"The members of the supreme court
are appointed for life by the presi-
dent. 1t has the power and can an
null any law enacted that has been
demanded by circumstances and by
the people as represented by the COM
bined wisdom of a majority of each
house of congress, or by two-thirds
of each house over veto by the pres
ident."

FOXY RAIL MANAGERS

After securing wage reductions
from the railroad labor board that
approximate $4,000, 900 annually, it
is stated in the public press that "rail-
way executives expressed disappoint-
ment at what they declared to be the
inadequate decreases"
It can hardly be expected that these
managers would be so tactless to pub
licly shout with joy, instead of affect
ing funeral air.

Just now the farmers are very
much peeved over the low prices they
are receiving for their corn and bar
ley crops. If we are not mistaken, it
was they who forgot that liquor was
manufactured from corn, and beer
from barley, at a recent election.
They now realize that they voted
wrong when they voted dry, but none
of them will admit it.

Halsbury, in his prime was one OF
the greatest English lawyers, became

until 1905, when he was SO. Now, pre-
pairing to celebrate his Tooth birthday,
he is busily supervising the writing of

If you have an idea of retiring when
YOU are 60, consider these great eX-
ploits by old men.
Socrates began studying music when
he was 80.
Columbus, between so and so, made
his first VOYAGES of American discOv-

Voltaire, Newton, Spencer, Tal'ey-

Pasteur discovered his hydrophobia

When Calico discovered the month

he was 73.
There are tens of thousands of ota-

You in your youth grope rather
blindly. Experience comes slowly.
With old age arrives wisdOmAreal

It's a good thing for n government
to have gray-b boards among it's young

a business to have old men sitting on
the lid at headquarters while the
young blUods go out after the busi-
ness.
Youth usually is too impulsive.
O'd age, remembering scOrched fin

The two, working together, make
the happy medium.
Nature can make your joints stiffen

A Jolt for Congress.-Uncle Sam is
spending today ut the rate of 10000
600 Der dav; as result he faces a de-
felt for the present fiscal year of
S226 ,OOO, 600. This is not the partisan
charge of a Democratic politician; it is
the stern and timely warning Of the
secretary of the treasury in a letter to
the house committee on ways ana
means. He shows that expenditures
last month were $113,OOO,OOO, as COM
pared with only S76,OOO,OO0 for the
same month year ago. Business de-
preston has brought about the great
slump in the revenue from taxation,
And yet congress insisted upon tinker
ing with the tariff before revising
taxes. Secretary Mellon foresaw last
spring exactly what has happened; he
warned congress but congress refused
to heed his warning. Now come the
hard facts and figures and they give a
Jolt to congress and a jar to the coun-
try. Perhaps the congress needed the
one as much as the country needed the
other.-Boston Transcript.
