WILL AID BUILDING
UP SMALLER TOWNS

CHICAGO, Jan. I'd n. So
The Illinois Chamber of Commerce
has undertaken the solving of the
unbalanced communities problem.
Minor cities in Illinois," explained
Harry T. Hill. secretary, make no
development frequently because only
one-half or one-third of the popu-
support the remainder of the popu-
lation. The others must remain in
enforced idleness.
! This condition of unbalanced
communities forms problem for
many states. The Illinois Chamber
of Commerce intends to take up the
settlement of the problem in big
way"
The plan is to build up these COM
munitieS. Mr.. Hill is preparing book
lets giving in detail the industrial op-
portunities in each city in the state
where there is an unbalanced indus
trial situation.
As an illustration Mr.. Hill pointed
out the situation in West Franklin.
He said that there have been 1,000
houses. built there during the last
year but that the only employment
lis in the coal mines. For women,
girls and Others who cannot work in
/ the mines there is nothing, and when
the coal mines shut down the city is
/ prostrated.
| This is the condition we will en-
deavor to correct" said Mr.. Hill.
We are going to carry on a nation
wide campaign in 1922 to discover
industries in the east and elsewhere
that are looking for change in To-
cation. There are numerous indus
tries which can flourish in this state
that face bankruptcy in more evenly
balanced cities in the east"

.H0MELY MEN MAKE
THE BEST LOVERS

LONDON, Jan. 2.-(U. P.)---Ugly
men make the most successful lovers
because, forced to be artful to over
come the natural beauty of the ma
tinee-idol type, they attain charm of
manner that leaves the beautiful man
lengths behind, Dr. Bernard Holland
or, famous psychologist, said in lec-
ture.
Women naturally distrust the pretty
man, he argued and think there can
be no harm in the ugly one. Off to
flying start, the Cyranos apply the oil
with happy or disastrous results, ac-
cording to whether Cyrano is honest
or dishonest.

Western Part of State Will
Have Heavier Acreage Than
Usual Says Federal Man.
-
CONDITIONS GENERALLY
GOOD FOR SEEDING
Some Reports However Show
Farmers Have Grief From
Seeding in Early Fall.

PORTLAND, Ore. Jan. "A con-
siderable increase in the acreage
seeded to winter wheat in the western
part of the state is the outstanding
feature Of the December crop report
just issued by F. L. Kent, of the
United States Bureau of Markets and
Crop estimates. Owing to the lack of
moisture early in the season, the acre
age seeded in the eastern part of the
state is not equal to that of last year,
but In the western part of the state
fall seeding conditions were almost
perfect, and the fall seeding of wheat
as well as that of other fall sown crops
was larger than for many years. On
the whole total winter wheat acreage
in the state probably exceed sthat of
year ago.
The condition of the crop in the
western section IS above average. 1t
rot q fine start but grown has been
somewhat checked by the heavy pre-
cipiWtIon 81. November, and the lower
than normal temperatures prevailing
in December.
In the eastern part of the state
much of the crop was seeded late and
has not made much growth. Consid-
cradle reseeding of the earlier plant
ing has already been done, and it is
anticipated that more than the usual
amount Of spring seeding will be re-
quired. The percentage condition OF
the crop for the state as whole is es-
timated at go compared with $40
last year, 900 two years ago, and n
ten year average of 93,0.
Reports from correspondents
throughout the state follow:
Baker-This has been very ia
yorable fall for farm operations. No
yccnhcr snow fell on unfrozen ground,
hence there was but little run-off.
Crook--Condition very favorable
Owing to the low prices received in
the past two years compared to cost
of producing, wheat is giving away
10 alfalfa and potatoes. Very little
wheat seeded here this fall.
Gilllam--Fall wheat did not get
enough moisture to sprout well until

ditlons better in north part of county
Jefferson-Very little rain this

Klamath--The first rain to amount

Morrow- (Heppner) - Conditions
have been ideal for fall seeding. More

MASON'S CLEANUP

During the past three weeks Hamil-
ton received the cleaning of its life.
And if she does say it herself, there
isn't cleaner city in the state today
than IS Hamilton, and as Tom Bate
man was won't to say, I'VE say this
without fear of successful contradic-
tion" Think of it, more than 600
loads of dirt and rubbish in the six
wards of the city were gathered by
the men and trucks and hauled to the
dumps. And all this was accomplish
ed without a single dollar in the city
treasury available for the purpose)
Those who contributed so generously
for the purpose and the business con
Germs and manufacturers who granted
the use of their trucks are deserving
Of much praise for their lberality
and display of civic pride. But the
man who is really responsible for the
city's clean and tidy appearance of
today is Service Director William F.
Mason Although, as stated, there
isn't dollar in the city's treasury
that might be used for the purpose,
Mr. Mason didn't sit around and sulk
about it, but knowing the city needed
a cleaning and determined she should
have it, he called upon loyal citizens
for money and trucks and the re-
spouse was generous, and the city
today is in no danger of disease

The Ohio State Federation Of Labor
will in the near future use the initia-
tive and referendum to submit an
old age pension act to the voters of
the state. Other states are also pro-
posing old age pension laws, but it is
up to Ohio to have the law first. To
do this the State Federation must
have support, and it behooves every
working man and woman to make a
study of the proposed law and be in
readiness to combat the enemies of
the movement as soon as they appear.
There will be some opposition to 1t,
and it is partly up to labor to be on
the firing line as soon as the order
is given.

MINE WAGES

Ever since the big coal strike was
talked of much has been printed in
the daily press about the high wages
paid the miners. Here is one from the
Scranton Dispatch which says:
"Strenuous efforts are being made
to convince the public once more that
the coal miners are engaged in a
high-handed attempt to hold up the
public. Almost daily the report is
circulated about some ultimatum that
has been issued by the miners. AS
usual, the facts are entirely on the
other side The miners are asking
nothing but the right to bargain col
lectively for their wages, as they
have done in the past. This year
however, the operators have taken the
initiative and it is they who have IS
sued the ultimatum. They consti
! tuted themselves Judge and jury anC
| they have rendered the verdict with
out the formality of taking evidence
They have said in plain terms wha
| the wages are going to be after Apr
| lst and have announced that the mat
ter is closed.
IF we are not mistaken, the great
est exponent of that type of diplom
acy and industrial autocracy is des
tined for the same end.
"The coal miner has been more gen
orally misrepresented than any othe
American worker. High wages hav
been blamed for high prices of fue
and in face OF the facts of the cas-
the operators make the claim agai
and again The average miner work
less than 200 days year, and tn
reason he does not work more is be
cause the operator keeps down tn
production of coal so they can kee
the price up. Even at the wages pai
now the yearly wage of these me
will run from 81 500 to $1,000. An
yet in face of these incontrovertibl
facts the operators talk about hig
wages. Let them guarantee to tn
miner 300 days work year and per
haps we will get some lower pro
duction costs that can be passed o
to the consumer in the way of cheape

AROYE THE LAW

"In all parts of the non-union
fields, union representatives are be-
ing arrested and deported by law
officers and public officials who take
their orders from the coal barons,'
saws C. C. Lyon, the Posts special
Investigator in the coal-mine country.
"Windbar, Pa, is typical. 1t is own
ed body and soul by the Berwind-
White Coal Co. B. B. Barefoot, mayor,
is company employe. So are most
of the city council.
"The day before the big strike
three union representatives register
ed at the Lester hotel. When they
appeared on the streets they were ar
rested and locked up"
Yes, you've read this already in the
Post. But it will bear reading two
or three times. 1t is something to
which we ought to give lot of serious
thought.
1t reveals an unthinkable state of
affairs-not in Russia, not in Turkey
nor in Armenia, but in the heart of
our own LAND of liberty"
"These are not the first ones we've
locked up" Mayor Barefoot boasted
to the correspondent "Not stranger
enters this town that we don't watch
and find out his business.
"If he can't satisfy us he isn't try
ing to work among the miners, we
lock him up"
Imagine! The moment you put

coal kings a spy is set to dog youl
every step If you even arouse theil
suspicion, you go to jail.
Your rights to liberty, free speech
and all that sort of thing? Just 81
much sentimental mush The Goa
kings are above the law The Law
works for them. Their will is law.
Crime is anything the coal baron
say it is.
Justice is whatever is in favor o
the mine owners.
Sounds like Russia, doesn't it? Blu
Russia never was like that. The czar
who tried it couldn't get away wit
it,
But the czars were not coal kings
And they did not own Russia, bod
and soul, like our Windbarian czar

THIRD STREET BOOSTERS

If there is any business to be had
in Hamilton the Third street mer-
chants and business men are deter
mined to have their share of it. Last
week an organization was formed by
the business men of Third street and
it is hoped to have every man doing
business on that street on the mem
bership roll. The purpose is to let
the people know that Third street is
on the Hamilton map and that it is
one of the city's business streets.
This is a good thing for the city as it
viii make every business man get on
his toes and cause a better city busi-
ness district. Now if the Third Street
Boosters can get the owners of some
of the shacks on that street to tear
them down and not build only new
fronts and one-story affairs, but new,
up-to-date business blocks, they can
do world of good for Hamilton.

WHEN IS AN EMERGENCY?


At the meeting of Trades Council
last week the Machinists' Union dele
gates reported things little slow
along their line, with quite number
of their members not working. They
reported that some of the factories
are reducing wages and lengthening
the hours, giving as an excuse that
it is for an emergency only. During
the war these same factories asked
the men to work long hours, using
emergency as an excuse at that time,
1t seems that some of the employ
ers are working emergency" both
ends from the middle when it comes
to employing men. The machinists
figure that the emergency is but sub
terfuge on the part of the manufact-
urers for creating less jobs than men
and thus take advantage of an oppor-
tunity for reducing wages. 1t IS to
be the old story Of supply and demand
governing prices.

HARRY SPEARS POSITION

According to word from Columbus,
the position of claims Investigator
under the department of industrial
relations, and held during the past
two years by Harry Spears, has been
abolished. Mr.. Spears, however, is
going to make fight to hold his
position and test the right of Director
Tetlow to abolish it. Here is hoping
he wins out for Harry Spears has
made a splendid record as an official.
The injured workers interests have
been carefully guarded by him, none
have been neglected, and at the same
time he has maintained the friendilest
relations between the employers, all
of whom respect him highly, and the
department of industrial relations.
Again, here is hoping Harry Spears
wins out in the right to retain his
position as claims Investigator.

From reports that come from New
port, KY, where the soldiers have
charge of the city since the strike
at the Andrews steel plant, the peo-
pie say that the cZar of Russia in his
palmy days had nothing on the meth
DDS of Col Denhart and his men at the
present time. The soldiers in New
port with their Russian tactics have
certainly opened the eyes of the citi-
Zens to !, the extent that they know
what the word "militarism" means.
If three or four people are caught in
a grocery store together they are sub
ject to arrest and placed in the bull
pen" at the steel plant This is only
one of the many hardships that the
citizens of Newport are subjected to.
We doubt whether the citizens of New
port still think that they live in the
land of the free.
