NEW STAR IN JOURNALISTIC
FIRMAMENT.

The Stark County Journal, bright,
newsy Labor paper, recently estao-
lished at Canton by the Central Labor
Union, has just been received. 1t re-
fleets credit upon both the business
manager and the editor, who by the
way is our old friend George Groshans
at one time foreman of the American
Tribune in this city.
The Leader extends congratulations
and best wishes for the future pros
perity and success of the new enter
prise, but from experience can proph,,
esy that Bro. George will not lind
the journalistic pathway lined with
ever-blooming roses, and that numer-
Gus pitfalls and unforeseen dangers
will probably be encountered, which
will tax his ingenuity to escape; but
a steady unwavering policy Of straight
out union principles can accomplish
wonders, and with the honest, hearty
and united support of organized labor
behind him, his paper will become an
irresistible weapon for the working
man and result in untold good to the
union men and women of Canton.

MINERS GET MORAL SUPPORT
Taken by Seventeen-PoWer Labor
Defensive Alliance.

The seventeen-pOwer labor defensive
alliance concluded it's work with the
announcement of the details Of the de-
fensive agreements. Before the agree
ment can become operative 1t must be
ratified by all the organizations, the
respective boards having this power,
in the majority Of instances.
There will be no sympathetic strike
Of the railroad unions on April l, when
the coal miners are expected to walk
out
The agreement states that indus
trial and financial interests "are con-
Quoting gigantic propaganda looking
toward further wage reductions, and
additional changes In working condi-
tions that will be detrimental to the
people employed in these industries" ."
If any Of the labor unions embraced
in the agreement "is made the victim
of unwarranted attacks, or Its integ-
rity is jeopardized," ways and means
will be considered, any action to be
approved by each of the seventeen or
ganizatiOns An executive committee,
composed of the chief executives of all
the unions, will make necessary recon-
mendations.
President John L. Lewis of the Unit
ed Mine Workers was given the moral
support Of the meeting, which, he said,
was all he desired at this time.

TRIBUTE TO LABOR UNIONS.

During an address to body of
workers not long ago, William D. Ma
hon, president of the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electric
Railway Employees of America, paid
the following splendid tribute to
labor unions:
The American trade union was
born with a sympathetic soul.
"Her ear is tuned to hear the whis-
pering walls of oppression.
"Her tongue has always denounced
the wrong and upheld the right.
"Her hands have always been lift
ing men to higher and better life by
shortening their hours of toll, increas
ing their pay and improving their en-
vironment in general.
eff she erred, it has been on the
side Of mercy and humanity, for as an
organization she has always marched
forward, only demanding the Cod
given and constitutional rights of
American workmen, seeking to arouse
them to a sense of their rights as citi-
zens of great republic and through
organization establish her liberty"

THE open SHOP" TRAGEDY.

The fable of the dog who lost his
bone in grasping at it's shadow is we'll
eXemplifed by the foolish attitude of
employers who joined in the nation
wide movement of a few sci emers to
wreck the organized labor movement.
These poor dupes now have no bone
at all.
The national chamber of commerce
and the few big bankers that manipu-
late it, started the agitation for the
so-called open shon in a very insid-
ious way. Emissaries were sent out to
spread the fake gospel and feel out
the sentiment. Great advantages
were pictured to employers, business
and professional men. These thought
less elements bit on the bait and
were hooked for many dollar to con-
duct ruthless campaign of destluc-
tior that has reacted to their own in
jury.
Now about year has elapsed since
the fight was launched, and behold the
destruction and desolation!
Thousands OF business concerns are
resting peacefully in the archives of
the bankrupt court, while many of the
ISH dlIlUoI ti0 uSSpeI dISiH CIlIlSl ing W
a slender thread over the yawning
chasm of failure and oblivion.
Arbitrary wage cuts were put into
effect, and deliberate fights with
labor unions were precipitated. The
result was the inevitable strife and
industrial stagnation. The entire in
dustrial machinery has been disor-
ganized, and there is neither wages
nor profits.
The "open shop" fight on organized
labor was the complement of the ode
fation movement on the farmer. The
same bunch of highbinders are back
of both movements; and the ordinary
business and professional man, who
depends upon the working people for
customers has been pulled down in
the wreck caused by the suicidal anti
labor policy of these same misguided
business men.
Reciprocity among the elements
within a nation is essential to the
prosperity of all, and strife and an
tagonism inevitably leades to stagna-
tion and decay. Organized labor rec
ognizes this principle and deplores
the stand taken by the anti-labor
forces.-Toledo Union Leader.

Swat April Flies

Columbus-One of the latest fads
to interest folks until garden making
time comes is that of eliminating fly
breeding places and the wholesale
slaughter of the little insect that
dares venture from its warm hiding
place before it may fly hither and
thither in the open. One of the ex-
perts at Ohio State University, where
they figure everything down to the
finest point, calculates that for every
fly killed during the month of April
there will be six trillion less flies less
in September.

Railroads Want to
Hold All the Profits

New York-Managers of eastern
railroads want that portion of the
Cummins-Esch act abolished which re-
quires the carriers to turn back to
the government half of their earnings
in excess of per cent. The purpose
of this clause is to furnish the gov
ernment with funds so that loans can
be made to railroads whose earnings
are so small that aid is necessary.
The managers of the eastern trunk
lines are opposed to having their prof
it's interfered with. When the law
was passed there were no profits, but
despite dire predictions, the railroads
are reporting profits.
The January report of 1876 Of the
POI class | railroads shows net oper-
ating income of $23, ,205, as COM
pared with a deficit of $300,879 for
the same roads in January, 1921.

MEDICINAL WHISKEY.

Discussing prohibition, keep this
in mind: Many are marked for
death in the United States now;
thousands that do not know it.
1t is said that a distinguished de-
fender of the underworld, of Chicago,
is now in Cincinnati, bottling booze
consisting of one gallon of whiskey,
one of alcohol and two of water and
claiming to sell it for medicinal pur-
poses.
The government should look into
this and determine whether this is
medicinal whiskey or poison.
Whiskey labels are counterfeited,
bottles, corks, everything is initiated
by the bootleggers. Men drink, not
knowing what they drink. Bootleg
whiskey has varying degrees of dead
liness. Sometimes it blinds and kills
you in twenty-four hours, sometimes
six weeks. For the great majority the
effect is slow.

FOOLISH ARGUMENT.

In a New York church last Sunday
the Reverend DR.. Stanton argued with
the not reverend William A. Brady as
to the morals of moving picture and
stage people. Foolish discussion.
There are even some immoral clergy
men, and some have gone to Jail. But
nobody with any sense denounces the
stage, or that great modern educat-
ing force, the moving picture, because
some actors or managers are fools.
Nobody certainly would denounce the
church because here and there a
clergyman who had committed a
crime, or been convicted of breaking
up somebody else's family. An insti-
tuition is one thing, the individual an
other.-Akron Herald.

WANT TO CARRY 1T OURSELF

Good morning, have you paid your
Subscription yet this year? Perhaps
you owe for last year, maybe for job
work or advertising. Now, you un-
derstand, we don't need the money,
We have millions to get; but it is
really an imposition on our part to
let people go on carrying our money
around when we are so strong and
healthy and abundantly able to carry
the burden ourselves. For this rea-
son we ask everyone who has our
money in his possession to leave it at
the Leader office or send it by mail,
freight, express or any old way, just
80 it gets here. Silver and gold are
heavy and it would be a matter of
lifelong regret to us if anyone should
get bow legged carrying it around for
Us.

Big Demand for Free Milk.

St. Louis-Greatly increased de-
mands upon the St. Louis Pure Milk
Commission for free milk for needy
families is indicated in the report for
the year 1921, just made public. At
present 48 per cent of the milk dis
tributed by the commission is free,
says the report. Unemployment is re-
sponsible for the increase.

FIVE POINTS

1. Read Leader Advertisements.
2. Buy from Leader Advertisers.
3. When buying mention the
Leader.
a. Patronize those who ask for
your trade.
5. This will help the Leader and
won't cost you anything extra.

Rail Board Cuts Paw.

Chicago-The United States rail
road labor board has included 10000

tions there should be six types of
weapons, lightweight gun and
howltzer to accompany infantry divi-
sions, medium-weght pair for corps
use, and hea-y team for each field
army. The board found that for
divisional use, gun of about 3-inch
caliber firing missiles of ''man-killing
characteristics" weighing not more
than 20 pounds and with maximum
range of $4,000 yards, was ideal"
but that the American and French
75s, while not exactly filling require

The army artillery as well as the
National Guard field batteries are now
equipped with these weapons supple

NUR slowly emerging real figures
~ of the census of 1920 now present
fully to the public attention the gi-
gantic fact of the surprising farm
wealth of the United States, says the
Boston Transcript. They give the
total value of the farm property of
this country on January 1, 1920, as
S77,924, 100000, and the value of farm
crops for the year 1919 as $14, 1885,
100000 This was an increase In the
value of farm property from $3,967,-
943,5s0 in 1850 and from S20,439,-
eO1. .164 in 1900, and In the value of
farm products from $s,417 100000 in

Artillery and Infantry in u. S. Army

TtHE American army came out of the
L war with a vast amount of artll-
lery. but still lacks the ideal types of
guns and howltzers which a careful
postwar study by army experts in
dicates to be the most desirable. On
the basis of the report of the "caliber
board" which made this study in 1918,
however, existing artillery equipment
has been apportioned among the troops
to approximate as nearly as possible
ideal conditions.
One striking fact was developed by
the "caliber board" study. Despite the
enormous increase in the amount of
artillery used by the contendlng armies,
the board concluded that "the princi-
pies of the use of field artillery con-
tinued unchanged"
Although the French coined the say
ing during the war that "The artil-
iery conquers; the infantry occupies
the ground" postwar studies do not
confirm this in American military opln-
ion, which holds that the infantry
armed with rifle and bayonet is the
main line of the army and all other
arms designed merely to aid the ad-
vance of the foot troops.
The "caliber board" found that for
the purpose of American field opera.

Westward the Farm Star Makes Its Way

the most salient phenomena Of the
worlds history.
The tendency revealed is one of the
movement of agricultural production
from the east westward. The star of
the farmer has been moving westward
for a hundred years. 1t is now cen
trail over Iowa, which Is by far the
richest farm state in the Union. Farm
property in 1920, in that state, was
valued at $S,524, 81 900, which is al
most $4,000 100000 ahead of the near
est rival state, Illinois, whose farm
values were S6,6O6, 767 900. But Texas
surpassed Iowa in the value of It's
crops-a circumstance due to the i'm
mense money value of cotton and beef
as well as of corn In 1919. In farm
values, the states which come near
est to Iowa and Illinois are, in order,
Texas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Missouri,
California, Kansas, Ohio, Indiana,
South Dakota and Wisconsin. The
once imperial state of New York is
thirteenth on the list.
The bulk of the farm value of the
United States is in the upper Missls-
sippi valley. 1t is there, where the
black soil lies deep on the prairies,
that the index Of farm wealth rises

GIVING A BOY A CHANCE

Jacksonville, Aug. mo matter
how incorrigible he may be boy usu-
ally will do what he promises if he
gives his word of honor, but the gen
eral run of mankind apparently has
little confidence in a bad one, j. c..
Lanier, probation officer here, has the
knack of understanding boys. "Jim," /"
as he is known to his friends, also has
the confidence of the boys of Jack
sonville and since he has confidence
in them, some of the things he does
in connection with his job of keeping
the lads in the straight and narrow
path cause minded folks to
hold up their hands in horror. Nine

ever, "Jim's" confidence in kid is not
misplaced.
Harry Williams, fifteen years old, is
declared by juvenile court officials here

propositions ever to come to their no.
tice. He was an incorrigible of the

school at Mariana to remain until
he is twenty-one years of age, or un-
til he has enough credits deposited in
the schools bank of merit to win his
release.
