Bishop Jos. SChrembs
Takes Side of Unions

Cleveland, Ohio-"If the open shop
movement, which seems to be sweep
ing the country today, has for its pur-
pose the destruction of organized la
Dor, it is colossal mistake" declares
Rt. Rev. Joseph Schrembs, Bishop Of
Cleveland, Ohio.
"The right of the laboring man to
unite with his fellows for protection
of his interest and promotion of his
welfare from every point of view is
fundamental. Any effort to deprive
him of this right or TO interfere with
it's effective and lawful operation must
be fraught with the most serious con-
sequences to society at large.
collective bargaining is a funda-
mental right without it labor is at
the mercy of the unscrupulous en-
ployers. There are employers who
are both reasonable and just and there
are those who are unreasonable, sell
fish, greedy, and UNJUST.
collective bargaining will do no
harm to the man who wishes to con-
duct his business honorably and just
ly. 1t is the only protection the labor
ing man has against the greedy and
slave-driving, employer.
"The question of the hours of labor
must ever stand in relation to that
other question Of giving the laboring
man sufficient time for rest, recrea-
tion and for decent home life."

NEWARK, OHIO, FRIDAY JANUARY 3, 1922
END IN SIGHT
TURN OF THE ROAD HAS BEEN
REACHED
"Big Business" Has Not Busted the
Unions Which Are Growing
Stronger Every Day

For the past year the arrogant,
domineering autocrats of "Big Busl-
ness" have had their heaviest guns
trained on the breastworks of organ
lied labor.
For more than year the storm
has ragged and the structure of labor
has swayed and bent before the force
of the blow. Here and there some
damage has been done, but on the
whole labor has much for which to
congl atulate itself.
Oceans of money and floods OF
printed propaganda were let lose and
every ounce of power that could be.
mustered was used IN every way that
skilled brains could conceive of, to
destroy the unions of the workers.
~ The tide was to let loose with full
force and for a time it seemed to
sweep everything before it. All down
the line i'll every organization, losses
in membership were reported. Wages
were cut and then cut some more.
Thousands were forced into the ranks
Of the unemployed. Workers who
were allowed to produce were only
allowed to do so provided that they
doubled and tripled production, all OF
which only tended to Increase the
army of unemployed.
Every petty, narrow straW-boss,
armed with some degree of insect
authority, took advantage of the sltu-
alton to impress upon the workers his
great importance in the general
scheme of things and to demonstrate
his understanding agility.
To use slang expression, the unions
have had to "stand the gaff," and
they have demonstrated that they can
stand it and then some.
A careful survey of the records OF
the many unions that make up the
army of organized labor, shows that
the bottom has been reached and that
the turn in the road is at hand.
All of those who can be frightened,
bluffed out, coaxed our or influenced
in any way to come out of their unions
are out, and still the union is larger,
stronger and more powerful than it
ever was in the good old days before
the war, when everything was normal.
Not only that, but many of those
who, for various reasons. deserted the
unions, under the impression that
they could temper the blow, are see
ing the futility of being without or
ganization and are coming back into
the ranks, bringing with them added
wisdom as the result of their ex-
periences.
The union husters have done their
worst. They have taken crack at
the organized workers and the unor-
ganized have felt the full force of the
blow.
To go further would imperil the
very foundations that big business in
general rests upon, and "Big Busi-
ness" would find itself in the position
of Samson, who had to pull the temple
down upon himself, in order to destroy
his enemies.-Ft. Wayne Worker.

"Open Shop For the
Hooking Coal Fields
(By Federated Press)

Columbus, Ohio-What is consid-
cred an initial step in campaign to
establish "open shop" conditions in
the Hooking Valley coal fields is the
announcement by the Southern Ohio
Coal Exchange that it's members
would discontinue negotiation of wage
scales in joint meetings with other
districts in the central competitive
field and propose an individual scale
for their employees which would not
provide for the check-off system of
collecting unicn dues.
The agreement under which the
operators and miners in Ohio, Western
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois
have jointly negotiated wage scales
expires April l.
Ohio miners will continue to work
as long as the present contract is in
force, according to Gordon Savage,
secretary of the union. The next
move is expected to be taken by Inter-
national President John L. Lewis of
the United Mine Workers.

CARPENTERS Council
Opposes Wage Cut
(By Federated Press)

Chicago-The long struggle of the
$4,000 members of the Carpenters
District council against the wage
slashing campaign of the building
contractors of this city has forced the
rest of the building trades unions to
line up behind the carpenters and de-
clare that they will not work with
ron-union labor. A resolution adopt
ed by the Chicago Building Trades
Council pledges the thirty-two trades
affiliated with the council to call off
their men on all construction work
where non-union carpenters or nom
union men of other trades are being
employed.
The Landis award slashing wages
and abolishing priced union working
conditions, which was relied upon to
bring the unions to time, was an
nounced last summer and since that
time the daily press of the city has
devoted hundreds of columns to coax
ing and cajoling the workers to ac-
cept the award. Many union officials
did commit their organizations to the
award, but from the first the rank
and file bitterly opposed it. The car
penters at no time accepted the award
and huge sums of money were raised
by Committee" of millionaires noted
for their hostility to organized labor
for the purpose of forcing the "open
shop" on the building industry. Efforts
were made to import non-union men
and under the Lands award the trades
accepting it were obliged to work with
the non-unionists.
According to President Jensen, the
Committee" did not secure many
competent workers and from the first
the carpenters have had no difficulty
in securing employment. The "com-
mittee" intimidated contractors pay
ing the union scale and the Carpenters
District Council now has before the
courts an appeal for an injunction
restraining the millionaires from in
terfering with their agreements with
contractors.
At present the carpenters receive
$1.25 ar hour. Lands ordered them
to work for 81 an hour. President
Jensen announces that in a vote just
taken 5000 members favor accepting
cut to $1.10 and hour and 1900 op-
pose any reduction. Two large locals
are yet to be heard from.

Garment Worker Win
All Along the Line
(By Federated Press)

New York-With practically COM
plete victories achieved in Philadel-
phia and Cleveland, the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union has
dealt a terrific blow to the manu-
facturers' conspiracy to restore the
sweatshop in the cloak and suit in
dustry. In Philadelphia the Women's
Garment Manufacturers Association
has acknowledged itself beaten and
dropped its demands for return to
that the 5000 cloak makers who have
been on strike there for a month will
return to work almost Immediately
under the week-work system which
has prevailed in the industry since
1919, at the old wage rate and the
44-hour week. Full power has been
placed in the hands of committee
of the Philadelphia union to conclude
negotiations with the employers body.
In Cleveland new agreement has
been completed between the union and
the Cleveland Garment Manufacturers
Association, renewing the collective
bargaining agreement and the week
work system. The agreement already
has been signed by number of the
leading firms. About 5000 workers
are affected there. Wage hearings
will be held beginning on or about
April 1, 1922.
An element which from now on will
be of greatass istance to the New
York locals is the approach of Easter
the peak of the selling season in the
industry. The manufacturers are be-
gining to see their spring profits Slip
ping away, and rumblings of dissatis-
faction already are being heard in
their ranks. 1t is intimated that they
are preparing to consider "compro-
mise"
If compromise" is reached, union
officials declare, it will be on the
basis of those reached in Cleveland
and Philadelphia; that is, unqualified
continuance of the week-work system
and schedule of hours.
The strike here is now in its seventh
week, and the payment of strike bene-
fits has begun. About 100000 was
distributed the first week, payments
being made to practically all appli-
cants. Seven hundred manufacturers
here have now signed up, returning
approximately $4,000 workers to their
jobs. All international officers of the
union have voluntarily agreed to draw
no salaries during the strike. The
money will be turned into the strike
benefit fund. In addition to the inter-
national officers, the salaried local
union officials in Chicago, Philadel-
phia and other centers where the
strike is in progress also are drawing
no pay during thes trike.

Would Now Grab the.
Forests of Alaska
(By Federated Press)

Washington - Secretary Falls pro-
posed grab of the great Alaska Ma
;ional Forests, which he proposed be
handed over to the mercies of the In
terror Department through L4veiop-
ment Board yet to be authorize0v mas
aroused the American Forestry AS
sociation to loud and determined
protest.
"Shall Alaska be made the promised
land of milk and honey for the inter-
ests?" asks P. S. Ridsdale of the as
sociation, and he shows that as the
result of Is years of scientific organ
ization and development by the U. S.
Forest Service the Alaska forests
have been made a large factor in
building up the Territory and insurlng
q permanent supply of fuel, lumber
and pulp wood for the people of
Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.
He warns the American public that if
Fall takes these forests from the
Forest Service the greatest single
property owned by the nation will be
quickly 6issipated for the benefit of a
few corporations.
Col. w. B. Greeley, chief of the
Forest Service, declares in the ma
tional forests in Alaska lies a prac-
Lical solution of the print paper short
age, and that the Development Board
plan is unnecessary, unscientifc,
wasteful and unfair to the future
State of Alaska, which will desire to
develop all possible resources under
Alaskan control.
All sections of the American Forest
ry Association are now joining in the
defense of the Alaska forests and of
the Forest Service, which is consid-
cred to be the final target of Falls
attack.

HACkETT.
VARlATlON-Acke
RACIAL oRIGlN-AnsIo-S Saxon.


SOURcE-A given name.
Hackett is one of those ancient
Anglo-Saxon names which are far
from being what they seem. having
gone through a tremendous degree of
change since the early days Of the
Christian era.
From the very close connection that
exists between so> many names and
the words from which they took their
origin you would feel justified in as
suming that the original Hackett was
one who hacked something for some
purpose or other; that possibly he
was a great warrior with reputation
for dispensing rough treatment to his
enemies: but nothing could be farther
from the truth.
The source ,of the name, on the
contrary, appears to have been very
peaceful one, though which of two
possibilities it is likely to remain for
all time question for conjecture. 1t
came originality either from the
for fairy. The more probable expla-
nation is that it came from one in
one case and from. the other in
another. In any event the name was
Ealhere. Two possible sources are
Cath" a temple, and "Aelf,'' Il fairy
When the Normans came to Eng
land their Latinized tongues were un-
ton of Aelhere or Ealhere and they
corrupted it to Aucher, from which it
finally developed into Acker and
Ackett and Hackett.
