LABOR DAY PLANS
Are Rapidly Shaping Up
For Big Celebration at
Fairgrounds

Just little more than two weeks
and labor''s big day, Labor Day, is
here. The day is to be celebrated by
local organized labor in the usual
manner, with a big outing at the But
Ter county fairgrounds. The commit
tee in charge for the big event is
working hard these days to make it
one of the biggest ever and to sur
pass many of those of the past
There will be no parade this year
because it has been found that after
marching over the hot paved streets
about all the energy is taken out of
those taking part. 1t is to be an all
day affair with the gates opening at
9 a m.
Many special attractions are be-
ing secured for the entertainment of
the big crowd expected, and several
new and surprising features will be
staged.
There will be the usual band con-
certs, country store, merry -go-round,
games and contests of all kinds.
Concessions of all kinds are being
contracted for, and when all is set
the fairgrounds on Labor Day will re-
semble one of the big days of the
county fair
The whole will wind up with mag
nifcent display of fireworks. A fire
works concern has been contracted
with which has never before shown in
Hamilton, and as they are anxious to
gain footing here their represen-
tative has promised Chairman Stan
ley Ogg one of the best displays ever
shown in Butler county.
The committee invites all union
men, their families and friends to fill
their baskets and come out on Labor
Day and make day of it.

OLD AGE PENSIONS
Campaign Now On in Ear
nest-PetitiOns Are Be-
ing Circulated

The campaign for establishing old
age pension DAVIS in Ohio is now we'll
under way in Hamilton. A splendid
organization has been formed with
captains in all wards who have lieu
tenants under them in all precincts
in the city, and who in turn have an
organization of workers under them.
An immense and enthusiastic meet
ing of the captains and workers was
held in the Eagles temple ON Mon
day night. The hall was packed with
members of the organization.
The ward captains reported that
everything was in readiness for the
big drive to secure signatures to the
petitions. There will be two petit
tions presented for signature; one is
the initiatory petition and the other
is the referendum petition. In case
the bill introduced by the first fails
to pass the state legislature, the bill
will be submitted to the people for
passage Signers must be sure to
sign both petitions.
At the meeting Monday night, M.
O. Burns made the principle speech,
He made splendid talk on the sub
ject, explaining in every detail the
cause and the purpose and the good
of old age pensions. His talk made
deep impression on the workers
present, who afterward started out
with full determination that Hamil-
ton will do more than it's share in
securing the necessary number of
signers to the petitions.

THE RIGHT TO PICKET

Here is how Governor Cameron
Morrison, of North Carolina, inter
prets and protects the much discussed
right to picket. The following para
graphs are quoted from the proclama-
tion issued by him on July 81, 1922:
"The strikers have right, when
they will do so respectfully and in
good nature, and without threat or
menace, to present their argument to
a person about to take their place,
and if such person agrees with them
to induce him to quit work, or not
commence, because person about to
go to work, being free man and
having a right to do so or not to do
so, as he pleases, it then follows that
person breaks no valid law who
to persuade another to do
that which he has legal right to do
Il will, therefore, request the Off
Ger in command of the military forces
on duty to permit reasonable sized
committees, as long as they conduct
themselves peacefully and respect
fully, to present their cause to any
body they may see fit to present it
to; but the officers will be directed
to disperse all large assemblies
brought together for the purpose of
overawing and intimidating, by dis
play of numbers, those who desire
to go to work, and to suppress all
effort at intimidation and insult of
every character calculated to produce
breach of the peace and riotous
conditions. Striking laborers have a
right to use argument to such extent

In his opening address before the
convention of the Ohio State Fedora
tion of Labor, held in the high school
auditorium this city last October,
State President John B. Moore said
in part:
Il want to say that this is one of
the happiest moments of my life. I
think that this is one of the most
ideal cities that the Ohio State FEEDER
alton of Labor ever met in. Where.
as rule, do you find labor and the
Chamber of Commerce understanding
one another, and both working to the
same end? Very rarely, and only in
Hamilton do you find it So" Ad-
dressing Mr.. Thomas Beckett, presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce,
and who was present on the stage at
the time, President Moore continued,
eve desire to thank the Chamber of
Commerce for this friendly attitude,
and only hope and pray that their
good work and attitude, their position,
may be the position of Chambers of
Commerce throughout the state of
Ohio and the United States"
Although President Moore didn't
know it at the time he spoke, yet he
might have well added, "and this con-
dition we owe to Secretary John E
Northway'
John ; Northway knows employer
and he knows employe. He stated
when he first came to Hamilton that
one of the big things he would at
tempt here would be to bring the two
together in closer relationship anC
that he has succeeded there is none
to gainsay.
Here is hoping John Northway vii
be rendered life position as secre
tary of the local Chamber of Com
merce, that he will accept, that h'

ANOTHER One
Court of Cancellation" I'm
der Proposed Bill Is Bas-
ed on Jailing Labor

Washington. In "can't-strike" bill
introduced by Senator Spencer that
lawmaker seems to have reached the
limit in the great indoor sport of
making labor safe for autocracy.
The Missouri senator would create
a court of three members, appointed
for life. 1t would have all the power
and rights of a United States district
court to enforce it's DEGREES. On the
failure of employers and employed
to settle strike involving interstate
commerce, this court would make an
award. Its findings could only be
reviewed by the federal court of ap
peals in the district in which the
award was made Another appeal
could be made to the United States
supreme court, if the court of APP
peals consented.
With fitting sarcasm Senator Spen-
GER styles his slave proposal "a bill
10 eSIdDliSu JuS leQcIdl COulG VI COIl-
citation"
Another camoufage is the provi-
sion that the court shall make no
order, Judgment or decree" requir-
ing "any individual man to work ex-
cept when and where and under such
conditions as he pleases."
This "catch" will not fool workers,
who will quickly note that while the
court is debarred from compelling
"any individual man" to work against
his will, no such provision applies to
large groups and masses of workers,
and these, rather than individual
workers, would occupy the attention
of the court.
Section of the act provides: "That
all acts or parts of acts inconsistent
with any of the provisions of this act
are hereby repealed"
Which would permit the court to
smash any federal mediation and
conciliation laws that interfered with
its purpose of bringing every worker
within its slave jurisdiction.

A PLEASING PICTURE

Figures in the annual report of
John w. Prugh, state superintendent
of building and loan associations, for
the year ending June 80, last, tell
an interesting story of the develop
ment and practice of thrift among
the people of Ohio. In a year when
business was halted and much uncer-
tainty existed, with consequent un-
employment, the building and loan
associations gained in assets over
$85 100000, bringing their combined
assets up to $500, 100000, handsome
step over the half-billion figure.
That the growth should have been
continued under unfavorable condi-
tions is a tribute to the plucky thrift
that has developed in the hearts OF
the people. The big advantage IN
thrift is found when it is systematic,
when people lay away part of their
income, when they continue to make
ready for old age and the proverbial
rainy day, in foul as well as in fair
weather. To appreciate the tremen-
dous developments of thrift over the
state one must consider the gain in

C. OF c. SECRETARY

The Chamber of Commerce last
week again elected John E. North
way as its secretary, and Mr.. North
way is now in the third year of ser
vice with that body The Chamber
of Commerce is to be congratulated
upon its wisdom in the selection of a
secretary, and it is also to be congrat-
ulated upon Mr.. Northway's accept
ance of the same.
John Northway in his way is do
ing much for Hamilton that is un-
known and unappreciated. There
isn't any doubt about it, the friendly
feeling existing today between the
Chamber of Commerce and the labor
ing class is due to Mr.. Northway's
efforts along this line.

bank deposits and loan deposits. 1t
is pleasing picture when one studies
these figures collectively.
Superintendent Prugh reports the
associations helped in the past six
months to finance about 10000 homes
and expects to help finance as many
more, making record of $4,000
homes during the calendar year.
Here is a picture, another and inter
esting picture, of the advantages of
systematic thrift widely practiced.
The small savings of many make pos
sible the purchase and construction
of homes as they are gathered in for
community development That means
real estate sales, employment for
workmen, sales of materials and
other sales that go to make up COM
munity business and development. 1t
is story of dollars gathered singly
kept in circulation to the large ad-
vantage of the community. The les
sons of thrift learned under the
stress and spur of war have been
made effective in the days when war
has gone far away The building and
loan men are wise to keep them alive
and to give them larger development.

CHANGES
GORILLA MANS LIFE
BY ROY GTRRONS


STATESVILLE, Ill. - BENJAMIN
Bucker, once a gorilla man" and
demon Killer" whose lust to
crush out the lives Of those he hated
with his powerful hairy hands made
hardened prison guards quake with
rear, today is an upright man and
a model prisoner!
Suckers plea for a pardon now
is before the state board of pardons.
He may soon leave the new peniten-
tlary here where he's serving a life
term for murder and take his place
in honest society as a teacher.
Thls change was wrought almost
over night by the magic of the sur
geon's knife.
Prison doctors learned that a large
caliber rifle bullet was lodged in
the left lobe Of Bucker's brain, un.
known to Bucker. 1t had been there
rs years.
Physicions decided to remove the
lead pellet. They prepared the oper-
ating table.
A cursing, kicking, evil-eyed "goril
la man" was subdued by the flames
Of ether.
And when the ether fumes died
away a calm, contented prisoner
came to consciousness on his white
hospital cot.
Becomes DOciIe
The incorrigible prisoner of old
the man guards feared to cross-be.
came a docile, easily handled prison
err. Then, on the strength of his
surgical reformation, he begged for
a pardon.
OF Bucker's past life he remembers
little.
He knows that he was born in
Calahoola Parish, La, 40 years ago,
that he had no trouble with the po-
lice as a boy.
At Is he was working in Mem
phis, Tenn. One night, he dimly re-
calls, fight took place. Maybe he
was participant, maybe bystand-
er.
Anyway, when he regained con-
seriousness in a hospital, attendants
told him he had been shot several
times. They said they had removed
all the bullets.
One Bullet Forgotten
But they'd forgotten one-the one
lodged in Bucker's brain.
In a daze Bucker wandered far
and wide throughout the country.
The embedded bullet had dropped a
curtain between the lobes of his
brain.
Sometimes a gray mist would rise
before his eyes. He could think OF
nothine but evil.
And he would kill-crush with his
big, hairy hands!
It was in that way that he killed
Ashley Thomas, a fellow workman:
at Watseka, ILL.,, in 1905.
The state couldn't hang him for
it because it couldn't prove motive.
So Bucker was sent to the peniten'
tiary for life.
Then came the operation. And
now-perhaps pardon.
Bucker wants TO be a teacher. He
saws he's we'll enough educated to
become one.
