Gerry, is RULING OF WILKERSON
Despite Administrations Interference and the Forming of
Fake Unions By Die-Hard Companies, the Strike
Continues Being Vigorously Waged

Chicago.-On motion by the depart
ment of justice, Judge Wilkerson has
ruled that evidence on the shop mems
injunction shall be referred to a mas
ter in chancery This permits the
judge to "get out from UNDER" and
now he will only be called upon to
pass upon the masters report At
torneys for the shop men insist that
jury trial be permitted as the
charges involve violation of criminal
law.
The shop men are waging their
strike with vigor and are not permit
ting the administration injunction
to interfere with either their rights
or their legal activities. Agree
ments have been reached on more
than 112 roads. These include the
largest systems in the country-Chi-
cago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul, Baltimore
& Ohio, Chicago & Northwestern,
New York Central, Chesapeake &
Ohio, Boston & Albany, Chicago Great
Western, the Big Four, the Monon
route, Seaboard Air Line, and Erie.

that these have signed agreements
with the roads. Or, in other words,
these roads have signed agreements
with themselves.
In this list are the Pennsylvania,
Lehigh Valley, Southern Pacific, H.
linois Central, Union Pacific and other
roads that have opposed the organized
shop men wherever possible.
This company union" is change
from former open opposition which is
now maintained through secret con-
troll of the union" while publicly
affecting an interest in the workers
welfare.
1t is stated that these roads have
agreed not to litigate if workers sur
render their right to strike. 1t will
be noticed that no individual rights
of the railroad managers are surren-
dered, even though they agree that
their corporations will no longer be-
come involved in litigation with en-
ployes for the very good reason that
employees have surrendered every
right, thereby making it unnecessary
for the roads to litigate.

TRICKY PUBLICITY
Aids Mine Owners to Cover
Up Deficiencies

San Francisco, Cal-The mastery
manner in which publicity agents and
propagandists can conceal fact while
deadening public opinion is illustrated
in a special article in the San Fran
cisco Chronicle on the Argonaut mine
disaster. The article is headed Crit
icism of Argonaut Mine Held Unjust
Company Complied With Safety Rules
to Protect Employees"
The writer first depicts the tend
ency of the public to form hasty judg
ments and assures his readers that
officers of the Argonaut did every
thing possible to aid the rescue
which is undoubtedly true. He also
states that Il am convinced there
was no neglect or evasion of the pre-
scribed safety rules"
After these impressions are made
on the neutrality-suspicious. that are
intended to stick-the writer concludes
his story with this statement:
"In 1919 only u feet separated
drifts in the Argonaut and Kennedy
properties. These drifts were per-
mitted to cave in and no attempt was
made to clear them out. The ore
bodies had been worked out and the
only possible reason for maintaining
connection between the two mines
would have been thought for the safe
ty Of the employees. Had these drifts
been clear the rescue work would
have been comparatively simple. The
Jackson miners would probably have
escaped"
No indictment of the company
could be stronger than this statement,

ed the department because William B
Wilson, union miner, was secretar,
of labor These influences went sc
far as to demand that the department
of labor be abolished.
The reputation of the railroad la.
Dor beard by Messrs Davis and Bever-
idge is out of the ordinary because
the former is member of the presi-
dents cabinet, and the latter acted as
spokesman for the chief executive in
opening the Ohio campaign when the
rail labor board was referred to. This
means that the labor boards future
is about as uncertain as the turkey s
around Thanksgiving time, because
the anti-union element among railroad
managers is also hostile to the board
These managers, led by Atterbury
of the Pennsylvania, and Loree, of the
Delaware & Hudson, find that their
company unions" will serve the pur-
pose, and that the rail labor board is
unnecessary.

WILL PROBE IT
A. F. of L. to Investigate
Labor Shortage Tale

Washington.-A. F. of L. Secretary
Frank Morrison doubts the correctness
of labor shortage stories now being
circulated in the public press, and has
asked the various trade union centers
to send to A. F. of L. headquarters

The labor official expresses the
opinion that the purpose of these
stories is propaganda to prepare the
public mind for legislation that will
repeal all restrictive clauses in the
immigration law and make it possible
for the large employing interests of
this country to have three men clam
oring at their factory gates for every
job.

Dry leaders protested against pla-
cling this proposal on the ballot on
the grounds that it would be foolish
for Ohio voters to enact legislation
clearly contradictory to the federal
constitution and laws.
Secretary of State Harvey c. Smith
ruled the proposal off the ballot, part
Fly for this reason and partly, he said
in his ruling, because he refused to
permit the election laws of Ohio to be
made an excuse for any organization
to go out and raise money on the pre-
text of fighting enactment of legis-
lation that will have no effect if
adopted.
Then the proponents of the proposal
went into supreme court, and that
body ordered Secretary of State Smith
to place the proposal on the ballot, on
the grounds that the constitutionality
of legislation can not be determined
until the legislation has been enacted.
In other words, no official can say
whether the proposal will be inetfect-
i've because it conflicts with higher
flaws, until the proposal is adopted.
Then the question can properly come
before the courts.

definitely made its undisguised reap

Labor must counteract this propa-
ganda, so hostile to the welfare of
the workers of the country" said Sec
retary Morrison. "This can be done
by the publication of facts regarding
the employment situation.

possible upon receipt of this letter,
you advise this office how many un-
employed workers are in your city at

can in regard to unemployment in
your city, as this will materially as

WHAT THE WET
AMENDMENT MEANS

l. The legal use of mild and
healthful beverages in homes.
2. To limit the market of the
poison peddling bootlegger.
3. Protection from prosecu-
ton for possession of cider or
homemade wine or of intoxicat-
ing liquor lawfully acquired not
intended for sale.
4. To be protected in your
home and property against ille-
gal invasion and search.
5. Honest enforcement, not
dishonest persecution under pro-
hibition laws.

written by one whose clear purpose
is to defend the company and create
in the public mind an alibi for mine
owners.
The writer also makes the signifi-
cant statement that several mines
in this state have auxiliary exits, but
in every instance save one these shafts
were sunk for development of ore
bodies and not in the interest of the
workers"

LIQUOR QUESTION AGAIN
COMES BEFORE OHIO VOTERS NEXT MONTH WHEN THEY
BALLOT ON MANUFACTURE AND SALE OF BEER

Amendment Provides For Legal Use Of Mild And

Ohio voters at the election next
month will choose a United States
senator, twenty-five congressman and
a governor, lieutenant governor, a
secretary Of state, treasurer of
state, an attorney general and two
judges of the supreme court. They
will elect county officers, too.
There are three proposed amend

passed upon.
If majority of those voters or
them vote "yes," the proposed amend
ments become part of the organic
law of the state. If they fail OF
adoption that is the end of them fo1
a while, at least
These three proposals are attempts
to initiate" legislation; that is, a suf-
ficient number of electors have signed
petitions asking that these proposals
be put to vote
Another method of amending the
state constitution is by adoption of
a resolution in the general assembly,
as in the case of the soldiers bonus.
The resolution is then voted on. But
that method has nothing to do with
the three proposals under considera-
tion this fall
The three proposed amendments to
the constitution have to do with two
rather familiar problems-liquor and
taxes.
Has Held Stage
For more than twenty years the
liquor question has occupied the cen
ter of the political stage in Ohio to
the near exclusion of every other
problem of government Legislature
after legislature was chosen and two
opposing groups representing special
interests-the liquor dealers and the
Anti-Saloon League-kept before the
voter, who was doing the choosing,
only one question:
"Is the candidate wet or dry?"
No other qualification mattered.
Party responsibility disappeared as
party lines were broken down by
these special interests. The legisla-
tors were we'll drilled-in one subject;
They knew they were either wet or
dry, and they followed wet leadership,
or dry leadership we'll But they
knew no other game; they recognized
no other leadership. Party pledges
and platforms came to mean less and
less,
1t did not matter what qualifications
candidate might have; if he were
"wet" in a dry district, or "dry" in a
wet district, the matter was settled.
The liquor lobby, or the Anti-Saloon
League, as the case might be, turned
thumbs down
This condition, growing progress
lively worse, kept the legislative halls
in a turmoil, until prohibition became
q reality in theory, at least. With
the defeat of the organized liquor
interests and their disappearance, it
seemed reasonable to expect that
some other problems of government
might have chance for serious and
possibly intelligent consideration.
But the Anti-Saloon League did not
disappear with the saloon. On the
theory that special vigilance must be
exercised to assure compliance WIFI
prohibition laws, dry organization ac-
tivities continue in politics.
Body Opposes Drys
Then came the Association Opposed
to Prohibition, recently organized.
1t initiated proposed amendment to
the constitution that is self-explana-
tory in it's own test. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
'No beverage containing "a or less
per cent of alcohol by weight shall
be deemed an intoxicating liquor, and
the manufacture and sale of such
beverages for consumption in homes
and places of abode shall be lawful
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1922-10-27

No beverage containing more than
one-half of per cent of alcohol by
volume may be sold to be drank on
the premises where sold.
