GOLD KEY
In the Hands of Mayor Smith Opened The Beautiful
Grand Leader Store Friday Morning
Great Throngs Gathered Early For Big EventStoreT To
Be UniOnized

What most likely proved to be the
most unique opening of new store
in Hamilton took place Thursday
morning at 9 O'Clock, when the Grand
Leader department store, at $50 High
street, first threw open it's doors to
the public. 1t was unique in this way
that the mayor of the city offciated
at the accession, opened the door with
a gold key and invited the Hamilton
public to enter.
Long before the time announced
for the opening, great crowds gather
ed, filling the lobby and blocking the
sidewalk and street. On last Saturday
morning a delegation of citizens pre-
sented to Mayor C. ]. Smith a gold
key to the doors of the Grand Leader
store, together with an invitation to
his honor to unlock the doors on open
ing day. The mayor accepted.
Promptly at $3.50 o'clock Thursday
Mayor Smith appeared in
front of the doors, and in brief
speech bid welcome to the store and
it's management to our midst, and
told the audience the fundamental
principles of the store and the policy
under which it would be conducted.
Among other things Mayor Smith
said it would be the aim of the store
at all times "to sell the best goods
at the lowest prices and to always
please the customer" After his ad-
dress, Mayor Smith, with the gold
key opened the doors and bid the
crowd enter. There was such a crush

NO DEFENSE
OF Trade Union Movement
Needed Against Barn
storming Windjammers,
Says Labor Editor

Edmonton. Alberta, Canada.-"If
half the time and energy that has
been given in the last SO years to
dual effort has been given to build
ing up and consolidation we would be
further up the road today" says the
Alberta Labor News. "The trade
union movement" says Editor Roper,
"needs no defense against barn
storming windjammers whose chief
stock in trade is scurrilous abuse of
all who oppose their efforts to dis
rupt the labor movement"
History" he says, "has proven the
utter and absolute folly of dual move
ment, and history has repeated itself
in every instance in the case of the
men who have engineered such ven-
lures. Impatience, in some cases,
self f-aggrandizement in others, has
conquered over the better judgment
of such men and has led them into an
enterprise that was destined to fail
ure.
Failure has made them bitter and
bitterness has made them abusive.
But to the wage workers now and
in the future, as in the past, the
great consideration is, what kind of
an organization can best improve my
condition p The answer must be
taken from experience and experience
has proven that trade unionism is the
| only institution which has benefited
the working class. Where the move
ment has failed it has been just in
the measure that it lacked solidarity.
And the responsibility for much of
the lack of solidarity of the workers
can be laid at the door of those who
used their endeavors to disintegrate
the workers organizations.

thing by breaking it into pieces should
be apparent"

that in very few minutes the doors
had to again be closed, as it was i'm
possible for any more to get into the
spacious building. Various times dur
ing the morning did this same thing
occur.
There isn't any doubt but what the
Grand Leader department store is one
of the best and one of the most mod
ern equipped dry goods stores in
Southern Ohio. And we might add
one of the best stocked. From base
ment to fourth floor the building is
jammed full of goods that are pleas
ure to the feminine eye.
Jack Rosenbloom will be the gen.

COMPANY UNIONS"
Can't Replace Real Unions
and Check Labor, Says
Cigar Makers Editor
Organization Plan is Trav-

Congress

Chicago-"In their efforts to estab-

hope Of beating legitimate trade
union organizations, several of the
larger employers of labor have insti-
tuted company unions writes George
w. Perkins, editor of tn Gig Makers
Official Journal.
There has been much said in the
public press as to the industrial de-
mocracy' that was so willingly being
dispensed by these employers and the
various plans were heralded as some
thing much preferred and far superior
to the 'autocratic' trade unions.
"As soon as any indication pointed
toward a desire on the part of the
workers for organization the employ
er saw the need of union and pro-
ceeded at once to organize it. Elec-
tions were held and representatives
