OVER PRODUCTION BUGABOO
EXPLODED

The "over production" cry that has
been sent up by the employers as an
excuse for unemployment has been
shown to be fallacy by Herbert
Hoover in an address recently deliv-
cred before the American Engineer
ing Council at their convention held
at Syracuse, N. Y.
with 100000 men idle in Amer
lean industries and other millions suf-
fering for the actual necessaries of
life there must be something radically
wrong with our system. There would
be no over production under proper
method of coordination and distribu-
tion," said he.
'The waste in our production is
measured by the unemployment, the
lost time due to labor conflict, the
losses in labor turnover, the failure
to secure maximum production of the
Individual, due either to misfit or lack
of interest" Mr.. Hoover asserted. Be
yond this again is wide area of
waste in the poor coordination of
great industries, the failures in trans
portation, coal and power supplies,
which re-echo daily to interrupt the
steady operation of industry. There
are again other wastes due to lack
of Standardization, to speculation, to
mismanagement, to insufficient ma
tional equipment and hundred other

PAVING THE INLETS

We noticed an article in one of the
local evening papers the other day
which said that plans were being laid
for the paving of North B street up
to the city limits and that when this
job is completed practically all of the
inlets to the city of any consequence
would be paved and in good condition.
The fellow that wrote that article no
doubt lives on the West Side and
never gets farther east than Fourth
street. He should go out east of the
canal and see what some of the resi-
dents of that end think about it.
They'll tell him that East High street
is the most important inlet to the city
and that Hancock avenue, better
known as the Deerfield pike ranks sec
ond to it and both these inlets ought
to be paved Thanks to the service
department both these inlets have
been kept in pretty fair condition bat
in wet weather they are not of the
best and should be paved. The paw
ing of Hancock avenue would be a
big thing for East Hamilton 1t would

VICIOUS SENATE BILL

If the Nelson bill, that slipped
through the senate several weeks ago,
was law, Federal Judge Anderson
would have weapon to enforce his
unionization injunction against
every citizen who dared dispute his
edict.
The Nelson bill provides that fed
eral Judge can order the arrest of a
person residing outside his (the
iudge's) jurisdiction and the person
shall be denied the right of prelimi-
nary hearing in the federal court in
the jurisdiction of his residence.
This bill was quietly showed through
the senate when less than half a
dozen members were present. Organ
lied labor protested to the country so
vigorously that no one in the house
dares champion it or is willing to take
| the odium of attempting to get it out
of committee.
Under this bill the jurisdiction OF
an injunction Judge would include all
territory under the American flag. II
one dared criticise Judge Anderson's
injunction, or if Mingo county miners
were encouraged in their stand by any
trade unionist, regardless of where he
lives. Judge Anderson, like Caesar of
old could order his arrest. The ac-
cused would be taken to Indianapolis
and called upon by Judge Anderson
to show cause why he should not be
fined and jailed for contempt of court
The Nelson bill is a startling IL
lustraton of plutocracy's cunning and
stealth. 1t also shows the necessity
for constant vigilance by organized
/ labor.

ADMIT DEFEAT
Of Coolie Plan, Says Ha-

Honolulu.-George w. Wright, of
the central labor council, has returned

away with their ontract-breaking

away with their contract breaking
policy. But can they? With all the
married men and the single men of
the craft who are out of employment
today, because of their employers re-
fusing to live up to the contract
agreed upon, receiving $25 and $18
per week respectively, and-indefinite-
ly, can the employers get away with
their contract breaking policy, do you
think?
Two years ago these employers
agreed with the union to install the
44-hour week on May l, 1921. They
have violated this agreement and
their action is approved by every anti
unionist in the country, who lectures
organized labor on the sacredness of
contracts.
Have you ever noticed how the big
newspapers print all the news (and
some that isn't news, just manufac-
tured) about some little subordinate
union breaking its agreement or con-
tract? Then have you ever noticed
that any of these same newspapers
ever utter word about employing
printers breaking their agreement? !?
Not on your life have you noticed it
for it would be getting to close to
home for them to do so, it would be
criticising one of the family.
However, with million month
pouring into its Golfers for the pur-
pose, the printers union should worry
about this strike. Every member en-
ployed is assessed weekly and gladly
paying it into the fund. The assess
ments will be decreased shortly be-
cause the contract-breaking holdouts
are getting fewer each week. Every
week brings in reports of employers
seeing the futility of keeping up the
fight, seeing the light and giving in
The printers are now at that stage
where complete victory is in sight
They are slowly but steadily gaining
in their wonderful fight for national

craft.

BIG JOB FOR MAYOR ELECT

BIG JOB FOR MAYOR-ELECT
1t is a sure thing that no one en-
vies Mayor-elect Harry j. Koehler his
job in figuring out where and how to
get the money with which to operate
the city's affairs during next year. All
the money that he has before him at
this time with which to run the city
next year is $4,000. With this
amount he must run the police and
fire departments, the health depart
ment, keep clean the streets, care for
the parks and few other things that
create expense AS it is today the
city is about 100000 shy. If it be-
comes impossible to secure the money
it means no police, no firemen, no
cleaning of the streets or repairing
of them, no health department, no
care of the parks. The voters at the
election last month turned down a
proposition that would have given the
necessary relief Now it is up to Harry
Koehler to do some tall figuring and
we believe he is big enough to do it.
With all due respect for the other
candidates for mayor at the late cleo
ton, we believe the city is to be con-
graduated upon selecting Mr.. Koehler
| to head the administration of the
| city's affairs at this time. His long

A SUGGESTION

We just want to say to Receiver
Sohngen of the traction line that un-
less he has some one wind piece OF
trolly wire around some of those
Woodlawn Cemetery Union Station
cars he is liable to have big law suit
on his hands and that-in the very
near future. They act as though they
might fall apart at any time. They
are positively dangerous. This is not
said in the spirit of ridicule nor sar-
casm. We know that Mr.. Sohngen IS
not to blame for the condition of these
cars nor because the company refuses
to put on new ones. But something
ought to be done in the matter, or as
stated before, some of the old discard
ed Dayton cars are not going to hole
together much longer and then some
one will pay much more than it woulc
cost to put on new cars.

UPHOLD OPEN PRICE
PLAN

Chicago.-Federal District Judge
Carpenter has refused the govern
ment's request that the American Lin
seed company and allied industries be
held violators of the Sherman anti
trust act.
The defendants are members of an
"open" price association, which ex-
changes prices. The government in
sisted that this association is con-
spiracy to fix and enhance prices and
check competition.
There was no proof that any MEM
ber of the association was under OBJ
legation to uphold prices, said Judge
Carpenter, who declared that it is a
false theory to say that because there
might be opportunity to fix prices it
must be found that prices had been
fixed
The courts reasoning is of interest
to trade unionists, who often find
courts less inclined to demand specific
information when they are issuing la
Dor injunctions.

Richard ignored the jab with all

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
God's Rain Cart.
A little boy was very much
frightened by thunder, and when
ever it stofmed he ran to his
mother and she had to hold him in
her arms. They lived in the coun-
try near q stream crossed by q
bridge, and many times q day they
heard the rumble and rattle of
wagons crossing the bridge, One
day the boy was taken to town and
saw, for the first time. sprinkling
cart. His mother explained the
use Of it. A few days afterward
there was a storm, and as usual
the boy ran to his mother. She
told him there was nothing to fear,
that thunder was the noise of Gods
rain cart crossing the bridge, and in
little while he would see that
God was sprinkling all the fields.
From that time the boy had no
more fear of thunder. MRS. E.

name) is perhaps less depressing
to the heart and less destructive
to the blood than other coaltar
derivatives employed to benumb
pain, such as acetnilide, which is
the painSkiller in most connections
purporting to be grippe, cold, head
ache, neuralgia remedies. But one
who.takes any such drug ought to
remain at rest in bee, or at least at
rest for some hours afterward, as a
safety precaution. l should say it
is not all right to take such medi-
cine unless under the personal d.
rection of physician. Some de-
plorable wrecks are caused by the
frequent resort to these coaltar
painkillers.
Element Coed for the Nerves.
Please tell me which element il
is that is good for the nerves
what foods contain it, also quantity
needed daily. MRS. r. b.
Apswer-There is no such ele-
ment. All elements of food are
equally good for the nerves and
fog other parts of the body. l mag
inc you are thinking of phosphor-
Gus. The ancient hypothesis that
phosphorous-con foods OF
medicines had SOME particularly
beneficial effect on the nerves or
the nervous system was based on
pure conjecture and there is nc
evidence to support the idea.
