FIRE BOYS ARE LOYAL

The loyalty of our fire laddies to
the city is certainly not to be ques-
toned. Many of our citizens believe
that the boys are working half the
time, for which they are receiving
half pay. This is not true. They are
working full time, for which they are
receiving half pay When it was
found that the city is short fnan-
cially and that the best that could
be done with the funds available
would be to abolish, temporarily at
least, three of the fire companies and
work the force half time, the matter
was put to the men by Safety Direc-
tor Grevey, who explained that the
officials were doing all in, their power
to arrange for keeping the depart
ment intact, but that it was impossible
to say for certain for at least two
weeks whether or not the efforts of
the officials would be successful. The
fire boys, to man, stepped up and

restaurant, that is maintained for the
benefit of the congressman. The
same condition prevails in the senate
side of the capital. The operators of
these restaurants have free rent,
electricity, furniture, equipment and
other overhead, but the food charges
can not meet expenses and the house
voted the difference out of the public
treasury.
This action is significant in view of
the fight for living wage that gov
ernment employees are forced to make
while congressman thunder on the
need for economy
In opposing the house paying the
deficit Congressman Slsson said the
affair was a little thing, but little
things are test of character. The
trouble with the restaurant is that
members of congress demand too
much for their money, he said
"The restaurant is losing money
and if you make members pay what
they ought to pay, this would not be
true,' he said.
Miss Alice Robertson, the woman
member, made the one speech in de-
tense of the appropriation, which the
law makers realized is a ticklish sub
ject. She insisted that the congress-
men should be fed well that they may
be fit" to represent their constitu-
ents. This was roundly cheered. BUT

OLD AGE PENSIONS

The Press desires to call the at
tention of its readers to the three
column article on the first page of
this issue headed For Old Age Pen
sions," and ask that they read it.
The question of old age pensions is
one of vital Importance to every
workingman and woman and should
receive their strongest support Old
age pensions is being agitated by
many organizations throughout the
country. At the recent convention of
the Ohio State Federation of Labor
held in this city the executive board
of the federation was instructed to
initiate bill in the state legislature
providing for old age pensions The
federation is now ready to act but it
must have the support of every
union in the state, both morally and
financially if the project is to be sue

CITY TREASURY GROWING

CITY TREASURY GROWING
1t seems that the members of the
police force don't propose to be pried
out of their jobs because of lack of
funds. They figure that if the off
cials can't dig up the 'necessaries
they'll dig it up themselves. In Judge
kautz they have strong ally. The
way they have been dragging in the
moonshiners and boot-leggers and
gun toters is enough to make all the
criminals in the country sit up and
take notice And the way Judge
Kautz has been handing out the fines
in these cases, especially so does this
90 with the gun toterS, is more than
a caution. Then too, the $685. club
to which only automobile drivers are
eligible to membership, has been
formed and is growing fast. Officer
Thieman is in the lead for the new
members prize. He has brought in
the most applications to date The
way President Kautz passes favorably
on the applicants and the way the dues
are coming in is sweet music to the
ears of Secretary-treasurer of the
club, Thomas McGreevy. There is SC
much money coming into the treasury
that things are looking good for the
police boys going back on the jot
full time.

CHURCH AND THE OPEN
CHnD

SHOP
The following article issued by
The Methodist Federation for Social
Service speaks for itself as to the
relations of the church and the open
shop:
You think the open shop campaign
is aimed at the abuses of the open
shop.
Is it? The Catholic Welfare Coun-
ell asked all the agencies behind the
campaign whether they would enter
into collective bargaining agreements
with the unions. Without exception
they replied moi" Some were frank
enough to admit that the open shop
campaign was aimed at the destruc.
tion of the unions.
The abuses of the closed shop
Every right-thinking man wants them
removed. Everybody knows there are
grafters and tyrants in the unions
everybody also knows there are
grafters and tyrants in the big cor
porations. To get rid of them, do We
have to destroy all corporations anc
all unoins, and make every business
man and every worker do business as
individuals? The remedy would be
worse than the diseased
DO YOU WANT THE UNIONS
DESTROYED OR IMPROVED
You think that the open shop
sounds good; that you are for it.
How does it work? After twenty
years of operation in the U. S. Steel
Corporation, it means (according to
the Interchurch report) that nearly
one-half the employees work twelve
hours day; that nearly one-half
these work seven days week; that
three-fourths of them do not get a
wage adequate for minimum COM
fort standard of living for the Ameri-
can family.
is THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
You think it means freedom for the
non-union men.
Does it? In many places it means
that he must sign contract never to
join a union; it means that he is con-
tinually watched by spies to see that
he never becomes a union man; in the
Alabama coal mines it means that he
pass every time member of his
family goes out. In West Virginia
it means that he must be protected
from talking to union organizers BY
gunner and machine guns; it means
that he must sign lease, giving the
company the right to come into hi:
house at any time and throw out any
guest, lest union men should come in
is THIS THE KIND OF FREE
DOM THE AMERICAN FLAG
STANDS FOR?
You think we are talking about tn,
open shop at its worst. Well, tax,
it at its best.
| 1t means the absolute right of tn,
employer to hire and fire. No dis
elimination! He is to run his bust
ness without dictation. This is "indi

it worked, but the employers are nov
almost entirely organized to bargain
collectively.

There is another way out-the es-

but in fair agreements, with both
