OLD ACE PENSION
Campaign Planned By o. S.

Week-Ogg Pres
ent

Stanley Ogg, seventh vice-president
of the Ohio State Federation of La
Dor, returned Sunday from Columbus
where he attended session of the.
executive board of the federation held
Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Friday and Saturdays sessions were
devoted almost wholly to the discus
sion of plans for the old age pension
campaign. The reports from the COM
mittees from all over the state indi-
cate wide and enthusiastic interest in
the question The educational cam
paign in which tons of literature will
be prepared and spread broadcast is
being carefully mapped out and looms
up big The board decided to employ
Timothy Hogan, former state attor-
ney-general, to assist Judge Okey, Of
Columbus, in drafting an old age pen
sion initiative bin which will be sub
mitted to the Ohio voters.
Herbert $ Blgelow, of Cincinnati,
and who has given the question of old
age pension as much thought and
earnest effort as has any man in the
country, was present and took act
i've part in all discussions of the move
ment
On Saturday the board prepared a
tentative QUESTIONABLE which will be
submitted to all candidates for the
United States senate, congress, mem
bers of the judiciary and the general
assembly The QUESTIONABLE was
adopted at Sundays session, which
was given over entirely to the discus
sion of the non-partisan political cam

MOOSE EXPOSITION
Proves Wonderful Show and
Draws Big Crowds

The Moose Greater Hamilton Ex-
position which opened its gates to the
public on Thursday of last week is
without doubt the biggest and best
venture of the kind ever entered upon
by the Moose lodge. The crowds seem
to be growing nightly. Last Satur-
day night the place of the big show
was so packed it was almost impossi,
BILE to get around.
The attractions and amusements
furnished by the committee are of
the very best that have been staged

SUBURBAN DAY
First of COOPERATIVE Sales
Days to Be Held Thurs
day

In order to start something, as the
saying goes (and Hamilton Retail
Merchants are always doing this), the
Hamilton Retail Merchants Associa~
tion has planned to hold a cooperative
sales day four times a year, to be
known as Hamilton Suburban Day.
The first of these days will be cele-
brated on next Thursday, June 22nd.
Under the program adopted, each
merchant will be entitled to advertise
not to exceed four articles These
articles must be real bargain values
and subject to sanction at any time
by the committee in charge. So that
when the people of Hamilton and vi
cinity see the announcements in the
papers next week advertising these
special bargains they can be assured
of something real special and big.
The committee having in charge
the arrangements for these four big
days are: John Nef, chairman; H.
F. Schipper, Mark Sohngen, II. P.
Edmonds, Howard Heyman, f. |. All
man and Max Strauss.

RAILROAD ACT
IGNORED

Would Overlook Law i'm
Defense of Demands
For Cut

New York-In defending low-wage
demands of railroad managers the
New York Times joins with these
managers in ignoring the Cummins-
Esch act which authorizes the railroad
labor board to establish "just and
reasonable" wage rates. The Times
editor says:
THE (Cummins- Esch) statute sets
seven standards for the fixing of
fair wage The first of them is: "The
scale of wages paid for similar kinds
of work in other industries. There is
not a word in the statute about a
living wage or a standard wage or
union wages. The railway workers
have set up these and other extra
legal demands on scale beyond the
capacity of the industry to support.
The editor is Incorrect when he
says the Cummins -Esch act ''sets
seven standards for the fixing of 4
fair wage" Neither is mention made
of "a fair wage The act calls for
wages and working conditions which
ARE just and reasonable" Neither
does the law authorize the board to
consider as a standard 'the scales Of
wages paid for similar kinds Of work
in other industries" This claim is
identical with other low-wage advo-
Gates who would create the impress
sion that the railroad labor board is
commanded by law to base wages on
other Industries. Even certain mem
bers of the railroad labor board are
aiding this propaganda.
The board has free hand in
wage adjustments. The law sets no
standard although seven suggestions
are made to the board which shall be
considered, so far as applicable
This leaves it entirely in the judg-
ment of the board, as shown by the
following clear declaration Iof the
law (Sec BOT, paragraph D.:
"All the decisions of the labor
board in respect to wages or salaries
and of the labor board or an adjust
ment board in respect to working con-
ditions of employees or subordinate
officials of carriers shall establish
rates of wages and salaries and
standards of working conditions
4 WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF THE
+ BOARD, ARE JUST AND REASON
ABLE.
I'm determining the justness and
reasonableness Of such wages and
salaries or working conditions the
board shall, SO FAR AS APPLIC-
ABLE, take into consideration among
other relevant circumstances:
"Q) The scales of wages paid for
similar kinds of work in other indus
tries;
"(2) The relation between wages
and the cost Of living;
"(3D The hazards Of the employ
ment;
90 The training and skill requm-
ed;
C5) The degree of responsibility;
"(6) The character and regularity
of the employment; and
"C7) Inequalities Of increases in
wages or of treatment, the result OF
previous wage orders or adjustments. .

II you understand the operation OF
the ordinary audion bulb, It is a per
fectly simple matter to understand the
operation of an amplifying unit.
We have learned, in our studies Of
the audion bulb, that comparatively
weak currents of electricity that come
in from the aerial and are transferred
to the grid inside the bulb act as q
trigger which alternately releases and
stops the strong currents Of the "B'
battery in the head telephones.
Now suppose we take these greatly
strengthened signals and, instead OF
sending them into the telephones, send
them into the grid of another specially
designed bulb. Again they will Oper.
ate still more powerful trigger and
deliver to us added electrical strength
from another "B" battery.
II We take this added strength and
nut II into a pair of phones we are
using what we call lone stage OF am
plifcation."
II, instead of using the phones at this
stage, we take this amplifcation and
transfer 1t to the grid Of still another
bulb we get a yet more powerful trigger
effect which permits US to add the cur
rent Of another "B" battery to our
Of amplification. And so we can build
up until we finally receive signals sew
eral thousand times as strong as those
which come in through. the aerial.
This strengthening effect is further
added to in practice by the use OF
what we call "amplifying transform
ers."
We will not now 60 into an ex-
PLANTATION Of how a transformer works.
It will be sufficient to know that you
can put comparatively weak alter.

other coil with its strength multiplied

And SO In amplifcation we keep null

of the weak currents brought down to
us by our aerial.
First the audion detector multiplies
the current by means Of it's trigger &C.
