Well, what are you kicking about
You wanted change, didn't you?
You got it and you've got it, haven't
you? With so many demands on his
time for weekend parties, golf, ex-
cursions and SO on, you certainly
can't expect President Harding to
have much time to look after your
affairs and interests, can you? This
is certainly hard life-for Harding
No wonder he had the blues during
his visit to the old home town on
July 4th.

CHURCH BRETHREN BLUFFED

CHURCH BRETHREN BLUFFED
Early in the year Rev" Funk, in
charge of the publishing house of the
United Brethren church in this city,
in very confidential manner assured
ministers and officials that in a few
weeks the agitation incident to the
strike of the employees in the compos-
ing room would cease and the whole
affair would soon be forgotten.
Today newspapers in every state in
the union are telling the story of the
United Brethren printing plant The
American Federation of Labor, with
all its tremendous force, has taken
up the battle. Organizations of
United Brethren laymen are being
formed to bring about settlement or
a change at the printing plant. Sun
day schools are refusing to buy liter
ature issued from the publishing
house
And arrangements being made by
the striking printers indicate the
fight hasn't really begun.
Reports are that the patronage of
the concern has fallen away to a
shadow. Dayton merchants and busi-
ness men do not care to have their
printing handled by scabs and i'm
ported strikebreakers. They believe
in patronizing Dayton printing offices
where a community as we'll as a
Christian spirit prevails. As con-
sequence it is generally believed the
United Brethren church will soon have
to approve another bond issue.
That Funk has the trustees, min
isters, officials and members of the
United Brethren church bluffed, bull
dozed and hypnotized is apparent to
anyone who knows the history of the
publishing house
When the late DR. Shuey was pub
fishing agent, peace, harmony, CO
operation and good business sense
were the outstanding features sur
rounding the publishing plant. 4
financial surplus was being built up,
and everything and everybody con
nected with the United Brethren
church had the confidence and esteem
of every wage-earner in America.
Now contrast conditions with what
they were when DR. Shuey was II
charge. Discord, contention, sus
picion, scabs, strikebreakers and boot
leggers have taken the place of har
mony and cooperation, while bono
issues replace surpluses. And from
Maine to California wageearners arr
referring to the United Brethren pub
fishing house as a "scab dump"
Yet the members of the church ap
pear to be afraid to enter a word o
official protest.
The only explanation is that Funl
has all of them blufed. To all in
tents and purposes he's the "boss" o
the United Brethren church, and tn
unbiased members will admit it.
The printers did not make an ex
traordinary request of the Unite
Brethren. They asked only tha
which had already been granted b,
the publishing house of the Christian
church, and which was granted by 2
secular employers on January 3. Blu
Funk wouldn't let the United Breth
ren grant the humanitarian request
thus making the publishing house o
that denomination the only institu
tion in Dayton refusing to cooperate
in a movement intended to lengthel
the lives of printers.
AS "boss," Funk is success, i
success is measured according to th'
standards and methods of Bois Pen

LESS MAJOR NINE DISASTERS

Washington.-Las year there were
but five coal mine accidents resulting
in five or more deaths each, and the
total number from such accidents
was only 81, says the United States
bureau of mines. This number of
accidents is smaller than for any pre-
ceding year since annual accidents of
coal mine fatalities has been publish
ed by the federal government.

Washington.-All bituminous coal
