power interests and other combina-
nations are blocking the plan. The
following statement by Congressman
Mann, Of Illinois, would indicate that
this matter is in just about the shape
big business would have it:
81 have been friend of the Muscle
Shoals proposition, an d still am.
But what is the parliamentary situa-
ton? The committee on military
affairs after consideration, as the
gentleman says, for five months, re-
ported a bill to the house which stands
as the report of the committee. The
committee consists of q members
Nineteen members of the committee
have signed minority reports, and the
committee report provided for a vari-
alton in the Ford offer, and Mr.. Ford
has not agreed to the variation.
1T would be idle to pass the bill
as reported unless we know whether
Mr. Ford vii laccept it. But it
would be worse than idle for the
house to proceed to the consideration
of bill from a committee of 81,
only two of whom stand for the re-
ported bill, and neither one of whom
want it to pass without amendment"
Congressman Mann said that the
chairman of the committee on mill
tary affairs was instructed by the
committee to make the report, with
their fingers crossed, most Of them

FAKE COOPERATIVE
AGAIN RAISES HEAD

The fake "Co-Operative" Society
of America, which defrauded the
workers of Illinois and several west
ern states out of millions of dollars
only year ago, has again reorgan-
lied under the direction of Harrison
Parker, one of the smoothest bunko
artists in the country, and has just
invaded the state of Ohio to capture
the workers coin, reports the All
American COOPERATIVE Commission
of Cleveland.
The "Co-Operative Society of
America is not cooperative at all,
say the officials of the cooperative
commission, but a common law trust,
run by three self-appointed "trus-
tees" who have absolute power to
manipulate the business as they
please and pocket the workers money
without even so much as accounting
for it. They are not under bond; they
hold office until 1910, and can then
reappoint themselves; and they are
under no written obligation to return
a cent of the profits to shareholders
at any time. Indeed, this frenzied
finance outfit has been outlawed by
three states, and slipped into Ohio
contrary to law without the consent
of the state securities commissioner.
This fake cooperative" society
went broke in Chicago last October
after going through over $l1 100000
of the workers money, without any
thing to show for it but 16c in the
treasury and lot of check stubs for
which the trustees refused to account.
AS fast as the workers subscribed for
beneficial interests" in this organiZa
ton, the money was drained out of
the treasury for many expenses and
into the pockets of the trustees and
the subsidiary corporations which
they organized.
The energetic action of the ALI
American Cooperative Commission
has halted the peculations of this fake
cooperative in the state of Ohio, but
farm and labor unions in neighboring
states are warned by the commission
to be on the lookout for its agents,
and to notify the national headquar-
ters of the commission, Engineers
building, Cleveland, whenever this al
legged cooperative again raises its
head

merely idle buster and rotund plati-
tude," declared Congressman Huddle-
ston. "The president is not the gov
ernment. In using government as
meaning the administration he for
gets America in his old world phrase

or of the United States except that
composed of three coordinate
branches, of which the president rep
resents only one-the executive.
"In the United States government

so by state authorities.

serious in its consequences than any
disorder of which irresponsible strik-
ers or other persons might be guilty

utive, would be an offense against our
civilization which would overshadow
any possible situation of violence at
which it might be aimed"

COIN TO The DOGS
Railway Equipment Fast
Falling to Pieces

Washington.-In a cautious report
submitted to the senate, the inter-
state commerce commission sustains
charges of striking shop men regard
ing the break down of railroad equip
ment.
Between the lines is told the story
of breakdown in transportation"
referred to by President Harding.
The commission states that at LIT
different points, its inspectors per-
sonally inspected 4,085 locomotives
Of these 2,456 disclosed defects of
varied character and more or less
serious. The shop men say that if
2.456 out of 4,085 locomotives are out
of order at LIT places, it is safe
to assume that at least $4,000 out of
the 10000 locomotives in the entire
country are now in need of repair.
The commission states that the car
riers admit violation of the law re-
quiring inspection of railway locomo-
tives. Some of the reasons assigned
by the carriers are as follows:
mo monthly inspection made of
this engine since 6-12-22 account of
not having competent inspectors in
the service due to the walkout of the
shop crafts.
"Not inspected account of strike.
inspection not made July.
Unable to make inspections or
| tests account strike conditions"
The commission says that "the re-
ports from our inspectors indicate a
very general let down in the matter
of inspection by the carriers, which
gives cause for concern"
Attention is called in the report to
the law that gives the commission
but so inspectors for the entire coun-
try, and that the amount of money
appropriated this fiscal year to pay
the expenses of these inspectors is
only S290,000

KREBS'
Removal Sale Takes Big
With Public

If crowds are any Indication then
the removal sale which the Krebs
Furniture Company launched on last
Saturday morning is going to prove
the banner sale in this city for the
summer. Streams of people are con-
stantly seen entering the big store
on Third street, and the way the
firms trucks are constantly loading
up at the curb, those entering the
store are not mere visitors, but buy
erS.
And this is not surprising. The
Krebs Company has built up reputa-
tion for reliability and when it makes
announcements in advertisements of
any kind the public knows what the
company says can be depended upon.
So that, when the company announced
last week that preparatory to moving
into its new home, 105-107 South
Third street, rather than move its
immense stock of furniture, stoves,
carpets, rugs, victrolas, records, etc.,
it would slash deeply the price on
every article, the public knew it was
in for a treat and it is taking advan-
tage of it.
Mr. Adolph Krebs, when approach
ed said: "It would be an expensive
proposition to move this stock and
the damage entailed in such work
would be costly. We are going to
give the public the benefit of what
can be saved in selling rather than
moving, and the public seems to real
ize it and have been responding heart
lily. At the rate we are going there
isn't going to be much left to move
by the time our new home is ready
for us, which will be about October
1st."
1t can truthfully be said that never
before in the history of Hamilton was
the opportunity offered for such

CLOWN MAN
And His Welcome "SmOke
Sticks" Again With Us

Frank Witte, who is becoming pop
ularly known as the Clown man, was
again a welcome visitor in our city
this week. Frank gets his nickname
from representing the Clown cigar
cites. With him this time Frank had
real clown in the person of H. w.
Miller, one of the country's famous
clowns. Miller is real union man,
being a member of three trade union
nizations-tobacco workers, mu-
sicians and signwriters. Witte and
clown passed out the samples which
are strictly union made and welcome.
Come again, Frank.

Seen ali uay long carrying around
sacks of flour, pieces of furniture,
rugs, carpets, canned goods and sll
kinds of household goods, all purchas-
ed at the big country store. Those
carrying articles made splendid ad-
vertisement for the store and kept
people fiocking about it at all times.
The committee in charge of this fea-
ture extends its thanks to the hum
dreds of union men and women and
merchants for the handsome prizes
they donated to the store.
Another popular feature was the
old-time Lotta game. This game is
proving very popular with the ladies
and especially with the old folks, both
men and women. 1t is one of those
old-fashioned affairs where one can
take their knittin' with them or their
corncob pipe and newspaper, and be
right in it. The game certainly made
a big hit, judging from the number
of players and the hundreds gathered
about at all times looking on.
Swell Fireworks
The committee had promised some
thing new in the way of fireworks nor
did they disappoint the big crowd in
this. The Tipp Fireworks Company
who had the contract for the big dis
play fulfilled their promise to make
fine showing in every way. Their
men in charge were right on the job.
There was no tiresome waits in be-
tween but there was a continuous
blaze from the time of starting until
the good d-night" flash. This was very
pleasing to the thousands of onlook-
ers. Another thing about the display
that made big hit was that it was
almost wholly aerial. Every bit,
with the exception of the Niagara
Falls and good night set pieces, were
exploded high in the air SO that they
could be witnessed from any part of
the grounds without crowding. The
hills surrounding the fairgrounds
were black with people witnessing the
display, and the flashes of thousands
of automobiles, whose occupants got
free entertainment, were to be seen.
But the fireworks didn't end the
big day as has been the custom, the
people seeming reluctant to leave the
grounds and hundreds of them didn't
leave for several hours after the fire
works had been discharged. There
was plenty to entertain the late stay
ers in the way of dancing, games and
plenty of good things to eat and
drink.
Auto Given Away
Then too, hundreds remained be-
cause they were interested in learning
to whom the committee would present
the handsome Chevrolet automobile
given away by Trades Council, hoping
of course to be struck themselves by
the luck of lightning. Ben Payne, of
Minister street, was the lucky man.
Everybody knows Ben. He drives a
truck for the Frechtling Dairy Com
pany. Ben is receiving the congratu-
lations of his many friends and of
course is all smiles.
While all didn't receive automobiles
yet the thirtieth celebration of Labor
Day in Hamilton was big success in
every way and a glad day for every
body concerned.
