 When asked if he would call a special meeting of the Fire board to take up the matter. Dave replied:
 There's no need of a special meet ing. There's nothing to it.
 Chief Daniel E. Johnson was per fectly willing to discuss his part in the affair today He readily admitted agreed witk MT. Dave that there was no infraction of the department rules.
 There is no rule in the department about the distribution of papers, said the chief. I do not think that there was any political activity or anythin g matter. There was no request, de-
 nand or order for the men to sign The papers were simply left for me to distribute, and I did so-''
 Chief Johnson intimated that the slips will be returned to MT. Dawe to- day
 It was said this morning, that the petitions were well received in the IS fire houses, and were signed by more than two thirds of the members of the department
 One of the three rules of the de- partment, relating to political activi- ties of the members. provides that hremen shall not take part in any po- itical affairs except to exercise the right of suffrage another provides L0f4L Iney snail not attempt to 1nI1u- ence the vote of any member of the Board Of Aldermen or General As except in open meetings of these bodies or their proper commit tees A third rule cautions firemen from engaging in any agitation for the enactment of statute laws or city ordinances which might effect none tary legislation in the department
 Fire Commissioner T. H. F,innegan, to whose attention the matter was called last night, still holds that the distribution of the circulars was a violation of the department rules.
 'I certainly think that the rules of the department were violated" de- cIared Commissioner Finnegan this morning. ''I have not talked with Mr. Dave as yet, and can say nothing further on the matter. I do not know whether there will be a special meet ing of the Fire board to take up the question, but I will surely bring it up for investigation at a very early session"
 At police headquarters today, it was said by Supt. Flanagan and other members of the department, that none of the petitions were circulated among the policemen Since the Burns raids, tho powers that be have probably decided that the police de- partment may have adopted a diff ferent attitude from that which was formerly in vogue

MERCHANTS AND LABOR
UNIONS

Fifty or more years ago the mer-
chant was Woodworking, plain-liv-
ing individual, his necessities govern
ed by his business, his stock of goods
by the demand of his trade In those
days wage workers were earning
small wages for an extremely long
work day; their demands were limited
by small envelope; their amusement
practically limited to conversation;
seldom discarding his overalls, except
church, when he wore his tri-yearly
Sunday suit. The demands of the
wage workers, who constituted the
great majority of consumers, limited
the turnover and profits to the mer-
chant, hence the status of the mer-
chant was little. if any, better than
the wage worker. Long hours and
small income was the rule. With the
rise of labor unions came better
wages and shorter work day. This
was followed by an early closing
movement of the merchants. Higher
wages created bigger demand for
necessities and so-called luxuries, the
profits were greater and his variety
of stock greatly extended BY rapid
disposal of his own stock, he now has
quantity, quality and variety; and
above all, some leisure to enjoy life.
The labor unions have raised the
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1921-09-09

standard of living of all layers of So
ciety, the merchant being no excep-
ton to the rule. What then, does a
strong labor movement mean to the
merchant? Just this: 1t means that
the wage worker has enough to spend
for the necessities and some of the
luxuries of life; $25 suit instead OF
a SO one;'a SO hat instead of a 30
cent one; better furniture at home,
with other comforts; good seats at
theatre. with a little saved against
future debt accumulation. A poorly
paid non-union worker is brother to
a pauper; that is, he is a poor GUS
toner at best, even if he can remain
honest and pay his debts. The nom
union worker would be still worse off
if it were not that the labor unions
were the means of his getting more
money. When union scales increase,
the non-union worker can get little
more money, can creep little closer
to the union scale, getting something
which he did not help to acquire. 1t
is seldom you see union worker beg
ging; he is too proud, too self-respect-
ing to do so. The union worker lives
from 10 to SO per cent better than
the non-union worker. The union
worker is the merchants one best
friend,

START AT HOME

The Press certainly favors the plan
of relief for starving Russia, but while
we are doing it the Press feels that
few crumbs ought to be dropped
to the starving right here at home.
If you don't think the unemployment
situation in Hamilton is growing SER
ious, just go down to the city build
ings some morning and see the crowd
hanging around the office door of Ser
vice Director Mason seeking work.
Said Mr.. Mason the other day: "The
unemployment situation is certainly
proving tough proposition. There
isn't day that | am not approached
hundred times by men seeking jobs.
/ feel sorry for them, | pity them.
| send them away as easy as | possi-
bly, can. The other day a man came
in and asked for work. | noticed he
seemed particularly down-hearted and
anxious. l told him the best way
could that there was nothing | could
do for him at the time but took his
name and address, promising to send
for him as soon as | could use him.
| noticed him hanging around in the
hall for an hour afterward when he
came in and said, Mr. Mason, | must
have work. Ny wife and children are
hungry and unless / get work so that
| can provide for them / am going
to get it some other way intimat-
ing thereby that if he couldn't get it
by fair means he would get it by foul.
If you think such incidents don't
sting, you are badly mistaken"
The above gives one an idea of the
unemployment situation in Hamilton
and why the Press advocates while
granting relief to foreign countries
that few crumbs be dropped to the
starving right here at home

OH. BLESSED PROHIBITION

Comes now the attorney general OF
the United States recommending to
the president and congress the forma-
ton of eighteen federal judgeships-
at-large, ''the most economical method
to clear the dockets of accumulated
litigation" According to Mr.. Daugh-
erty. there are now 141 900 cases
pending in federal courts, an increase
of %. .256 cases since last year. Eigh
teen new federal iudgeships will cost
pretty penny, but the increased per-
centage of criminal business, partic-
ularlv in the view of the attorney
general. justifies their creation. He
saws there has been an increase of
800 per cent in the criminal court
cases since 1912, largely the result
of the enactment of prohibition laws" !"
He expresses the belief that no sub
stantial decrease in this class of cases
can be expected for years. The pres
ent congested condition of the courts
is intolerable, says the attorney-gen-
eral at results in loss of evidence,
abandonment of cases, denial and fre-
quent defeat of justice, and lowers
the high standard of the federal
courts" Very true. But prohibition
promised an avoidance of such con-
dition. 1t was mistaken. The dock
cts of every magistrate in the land,
from 'squires and mayors up to the
federal courts, are choked with liquor
cases and cases involving every crime
in the black calendar. What is
worse, the fanatical self-appointed
guardians of personal habits and pub
lie morals are proceeding to pave the
way for wider popular rebellion
against sumptuary and sectarian leg
gislation, which leaves to the Ameri-
can citizen but the beggarly shreds of
his once boasted civil and religious
liberties. Cincinnati Enquirer.

WORK AND WAGES

There is no more absorbing topic
before the general public today than
the matter Of wage increases for those
who toll from one weeks. end to the
other. Perhaps the only other ques-
tion that rivals it in general interest
is the one of constantly increasing
costs loaded upon those who have to
live by the sweat of their brows. If
there is no satisfactory method of
keeping the cost of living within the
reach of the workingman's purse, then
some means of helping to meet the
situation must be devised.
An advance in wages appears to be
the most practical method at hand.
The men who do the worlds work are
entitled even to some of the worlds
luxuries. They ought not to be COM
PEELED to battle from day to day for
the mere privilege of working, eating
and sleeping. 1t is their just due that
they should have many of the keener
enjoyments of life that are an utter
impossibility in the face of fear and
uncertainty as to the future.
The perplexing question of how to
get food enough to fill hungry mouths
at home, enough clothing to keep lit
tie bodies warm and provide the daily
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1921-09-09

necessities of existence often units
man for the best efforts.
Efficiency seems to be the keynote
of modern progress. And to obtain
the highest degree of efficiency pos
sible from human beings, if that
seems desirable, it is essential that
the man who works be happy, con-
tented and well fed And if the work
er is given a sufficient wage to make
him happy, well fed and in love with
his job, he can be depended on to de-
velop his own efficiency to the point
where higher wage will be the best
kind of an investment for his en-
ployer.
