MOCK GENEROUSLY
Of Pennsy Managers Elk
posed in Engineers
Journal

Cleveland.-The Locomotive Engin-
eers' Journal exposes the mock gener-
osity of the Pennsylvania railroad
when it says ut is not averse to hear
ing complaints from representatives
of the men within the company en-
ploy"
Knowing. as it does" says the Lo-
comotive Engineers Journal, that
these will be comparatively mild and
few and far between, it can afford to
say that, but it will not recognize
the right of the employee to be rep
resented by any one not in the COM
pany employ
MED the Pennsylvania hearing to
reconsider the order of the board that
the company depart from its declared
policy of only recognizing the COM
pany union as representing its en-
ployes, it also expressed it's opinion
why railroads favor such a union,
when 1T said that of the hundreds OF
disputes brought before it less than
five were brought by and for organ
lied employees
"The conclusion is clear enough
The unorganized employees, whether
members of the company union or
not, dare not complain. When the
Pennsylvania declared it had the sole
right to represent the employees to
conduct the proceedings and pass final
judgment on the results, it merely
showed its hand 1t showed clearly
that it does not intend to grant the
employe any liberty of action, any
voice in the conduct of affairs con-
cerning him."

1.-THE MASTER CURE"
Of All Labor Troubles Is
Found in Hooper's Anti
Strike Law

New York THE master cure has
finally been found-a remedy for all
ills that beset the transportation sys-
TEN of the land" says Justice, official
magazine of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union.
'sBen W. Hooper, former governor
of Tennessee and now vice chairman
of the United States railroad labor
board, speaking amidst the friendly
surroundings of the New York rail
road club, blazed forth solution for
the labor troubles on the railroads
that is bound to place his name with
Governor Allen of Kansas among the
immortal politicians who will save US
against our will
Like Allen, the father of the in
dustrial court of Kansas, Hooper is
also friend of labor. What else
could he be? All he wants is to curb
the unjust demands of organized la
Dor and control such of its activities
as threaten the public welfare. In
this he is very emphatic, for he claims
that the survival of this republic de-
pends upon the wisdom with which
this 'curbing' business is handled
"In short, he proposes an anti
strike law on the railroads which
would have its concrete expression in
the form of an absolutely impartial
tribunal to decide all questions be-
tween the railroad managers and the
workers After that will come the
millennium.
Come to think of it, the Kansas
industrial court is also an impartial
tribunal Just watch how impartial
ly it is now handling the meat strik-
ers of that state"

SOCIETY MUST GIVE
EMPLOYMENT TO ALL

Ever since human beings began to
congregate together in tribes, they
have been more or less dependent
upon one another
But this dependence was often
slight in degree, and sometimes it was
entirely negligible.
This was especially true in Amer
lea in the early days Up to about
the middle of the nineteenth century
or perhaps little later-it was pos
sible for a man to go to it ION his
own hook" in this country Women
could not-for they were bound about
by idiotic and antiquated traditions
but men could
1t was due to a combination of two
things-the newness of the country,
and the undeveloped condition of ma
chinery The newness of the coun-
try caused it to afford almost un-
limited opportunities. The undevel-
oped condition of machinery enabled
a man to get his living out of the
soil without having to buy much of
anything from others, and without
having to sell his products in order
TO live. He and his folks made their
own clothes, raised their own food,
and consumed it themselves.
Those days have receded into the
past.
Even farmer is now dependent
on others He has to buy his machin-
cry and most of his food from 9TH
ers He has to sell his products to
get money to buy the things he must
have.
The residents of the cities are still
more dependent-or interdependent
A man can no longer make a liv-
ing on his own hook He must neces-
sarily make his living-if he makes
it at abby establishing mutual re-
lations with other human beings.
Furthermore, machinery has brought
about the development of gigantic
and inextricably intertwined indus
tries A man who lives here is de-
pendent, for some part of his living,
upon men who live thousands of miles
away-and he is dependent upon men
who live and work all the way be-
tween there and here

THE MILLION DOLLAR STEAL"

1 Ill II MlLL1ON DOLLah . EAL
County Treasurer Louis T. Nein
stirred up a whole hornets nest when
in a statement made last week before
a meeting held in Middletown he said
something about a million dollar
steal" being connected with the Coke
Otto improvements which the people
voted for last fall year ago. That
is, that's the way Louey is putting
it, that he just said something" about
a million dollar steal" that he just
heard something" to this effect and
he denies the allegation that he said
that it was to be million dollar
steal" 1t doesn't make any differ
ence what he said, nor how he said it,
many believe that Louey put across
Just what he set out to do-that is,
leave the impression that there is
crooked work connected with making
the big improvement, and thereby
stop its progress. Louey and one or
two other county officials have been
licking the county candy" until
about all the sweetness is out of it,
and now they don't like the idea of
paying taxes on the candy" which
they have piled up so that they are
ready to spike any proposed improve
ment that may come up
Now Mr.. Nein may know something
that the whole county should know.
That there really is a steal contem-
plated in connection with building
the big bridge. If he does it is his
duty to tell what he knows and stop
the steal. If he doesn't know any
thing sure he should keep his mouth
closed and not let out cheap "holler"
and leave a nasty impression. Mr.
Nein has a perfect right to oppose
the expenditure of any money by the
county that he sees fit, but he should
do it at the proper time. When the
majority people of the county vote
the expenditure of sum of money,
as was done in this case, Mr. Nein
should accept that decree and not
come along year and half after

RETAILERS AND PACKERS
TRUST

Small business interests are pay
ing little attention to the charge of
organized butcher workmen that the
meat packers trust is attempting to
establish industrial serfdom," says a
Washington dispatch.
The dispatch further says:
These business men, however, are
alarmed at the encroachments of the
packers in their business, and are
calling on congress and the courts tc
aid them.
"At tariff hearings before the sen.
ate finance committee shoe manufact.
urers said there was danger of that
industry falling into the hands of the
meat packers because of their control
of hides.
Wholesale grocers are also fighting
the meat packers, who threaten tc
control the nations food supply. II
has been found that the agreement
between the packers and Attorney
General Palmer-by which the pack,
ers would confne themselves to the
production of meat-has not beer
complied with. The packers have moi
yielded control of their fruit, veget.
able and other food lines, and the
grocers are worried.
"The business men indicate little
sympathy, however, with the butcher
workmen, who show that the meat
octopus is reducing the purchasing
power of thousands of employees anc
is lowering working conditions.
Rather is the public blinded to the
labor policy of the meat trust. Re.
Gently the New York Times devoted
a column editorial in defense of the
packers company unions, which
were organized to serve as a wage.

A FIRE WITH A LESSON

Monday afternoon witnessed the
most disastrous fire Hamilton has ex-
perienced in a long time. One man
lost his life and the property loss was
great. We refer to the burning of
the building occupied by the Central
Motor Company. The fire department
did splendid work. And herein is a
lesson. There has been talk of cut
ting down this department one-half,
that is, cutting it down to three COM
panies. Suppose there had been just
three companies to fight the blaze
Monday afternoon, and during that
time fire had broken out in one of
our school houses, occupied by hun
dreds of children during the school
session times, or supposing fire had
broken out in one of the moving pic
ture theatres wherein there is always
many people during the afternoons, or
suppose fire had started in any occu-
pied building during the time the fire
department was fighting the blaze of
Monday afternoon, with only three
fire companies in the city, what might
have happened? Not counting the
property damage the loss of life
might have been great.
About the same time the fire was
raging Monday afternoon, one of our
evening papers came out and in an
editorial said that no matter how
great the risk, we should accept it
and not one cent must be borrowed to
maintain the fire department Think
of it, with this paper, life and prop
erty comes last 1t is-money first,
The editorial referred to also sug-
gests that volunteer fire depart
ment for Hamilton be formed. Now
the Press knows that the editor who
wrote the article wouldn't think of
asking of some one else that which
he wouldn't do himself, but can you
imagine this editor getting up in the
middle of cold night to respond to
fire call and carrying the hose noz-
Zle up ladder into burning build
ing? Can you! 1t is ridiculous to
think so.
1t is to be hoped that the plan being
worked out by Mayor Koehler to
maintain the fire department intact
proves feasible, and that there will
be no reduction in the force Keep
up the fire department at any and all
costs.

HE'S. SURE TELLING TRUTH
Writing in the Springfield Sun, a
republican organ, Charles 5. Kay,
himself member from Clark county
in the general assembly, says:
"Irregularity and inefficiency have
characterized the last two sessions of
the Ohio legislature. In these ses-
sions, the republicans have been in
the majority In the 82nd general as
sembly that majority was small In
the 83rd it was overwhelming and it
numerically had the power to do any
thing it wished to do"
The whole state will agree with this
