WAR CONTRACTORS
Aided and Striking Miners
Ignored By U. S. Senate

Washington, While the United
States senate ignores striking
miners, war contractors are quickly
cared for
The usurpation Of government by
coal owners gunmen in West Vir-
ginia is nothing to law makers, who
hasten to pass senate bill No. 81 for
the relief of contractors, subcontract-
ors and material men who have SUI
fered loss by reason Of government
orders"
In urging passage of the bill Sen
ator PoindeXter said it was impossi-
BILE to estimate the total amount of
the claims, but guessed" they would
reach $1,000,000 The senator stated
that the claims relate to munitions,
supplies, ship construction, buildings
and various other war activities.
Senator Poindexter pleaded for
haste, and painted dire consequences
to "the small contractor" if he has
to wait until the federal court of
claims passed on the contracts.

BIG ONES DUCK
But Small Railroads Must
Obey Rail Board

Chicago.-Small railroads, at least.
must obey orders of the United States
railroad labor board or be branded
publicly as violators of the laws of
the United States.
This is the ultimatum of the board
in handing down a decision adiudeing
the Interstate railroad, Virginia
line, guilty of disobeying its orders
to reinstate two employees who were
discharged because they gave advice
to other employees on wage questions.
While this road is declared by the
decision to be "only a small road down
in the Virginia mountains" it is fur
ther stated that ''it connects with
other lines and the irritating effect of
its disregard for the rights of its men
and for the authority of law extends
to employees of other roads"
The railroad labor board attempted
last December to publicly denounce
the pennsylvania railroad for its dis
regard of law, but this powerful cor
poration secured an injunction from
Federal Judge Lands that stayed a
censure that is now administered to
"a small road down in the Virginia
mountains"
The Lands decision has since been
upheld by Federal Judge Page

ILLEGAL TRUSTS
Have Tight Grip on Amer
lea, Says Untermyer

New York-America is in the grip
of illegal combinations, and an inves-
tigation would uncover mot less than
900 such combinations, involving at
least 10000 individuals and corpora
tions," said Samuel Untermyer, coun-
sci for the Lockwood committee, in a
speech in this city.
The attorney characterized the steel
trust as "the czar of the greatest of
American industries, standing men
ace and a monument to the helpless
ness of the law to cope with the power
of concentrated wealth.
The overshadowing power and ma
lign activities of the steel corpora
ton as such are insignificant as com
pared to the effects of the control it
Yields through the trade associations
that it dominates.
THE inner history of the methods
by which prices in all the ramifed
branches of this great industry have
been stabilized has not yet been told.
They are not we'll known, but no one
who has studied the figures or who
understands the workings of the va
rious trade associations that are oper-
ating under the dominating will of the
steel trust can be in any doubt as to
what is happening, Notwithstanding
the widely heralded cuts in prices
that are announced from time to time.
I'm point of fact the steel trust
is the parent of the now familiar sys-
tenn so widely used by the members of
these 'gentlemen's agreements by
which one of the members is selected
as a pacemaker in price fixing and
price changes and the others automat-
ically follow by tacit agreement or
private understanding"

GAGGED
Federal Board Stops Labor
Board Making Public
It's Findings

Chicago. Federal Judge Page has
upheld an injunction secured against
the railroad labor board by the Penn
sylvania railroad wherein the board is
restrained from making public its cen
sure because the railroad violated the
boards order.
The courts refusal to dismiss the
injunction, originally issued by FEEDER
al Judge Lands, has dumbfounded the
board which finds itself gagged when
it attempts to apply the only weapon
congress armed it with-publicity.
Under the Cummins- -Esch law the
board is given wide powers to initiate
measures in the event that transporta-
ton is liable to be interefered with.
Last year when the Pennsylvania was
establishing it's company union" or
ganized shop men on that system pre-
sented proof to the board that they
were debarred from voting The rail
road was ordered to hold new cleo
tion, but ignored the order The
board then prepared censure, but
before the document could be made
public the railroad secured on order
from Federal Judge Lands which en-
joined the board from in any manner
indicating that the railroad refused to
accept an award by the board

ELECTRICIANS
STRIKE
Tired of Playing With
Bosses, Wiremen Call
Vacation Off
Outside Dictator is Stun
bling Block to Settlement

The members of the Electrical
Workers Local Union No. 648, after
bending every effort to bring about
an adjustment of their differences
with their employers, finding this i'm
possible and becoming tired Of play,
have called off what some termed a
vacation and at their meeting We'd
nesday night declared a strike on.
This enforced action on the part of
the wiremen is regretted by none more
so than by the members of the union
themselves.
1t was thought by all that matters
would be easily Strengthened out as
the employers seemed friendly and
kindly disposed, and several of them
in fact had expressed a willingness
to sign up but the fact that outside
interference developed blocked all
proceedings.
Much has been said of business
agents, agitators, walking delegates,
etc, in unions preventing workingmen
thinking for themselves and causing
industrial troubles and disaffection,
preventing labor troubles adjustment
and so on, but it seems that this same
element exists in the employers ranks
in this case.
At meeting of representatives of
the employers and workers last Thurs
day night at the Y. M. c. A, there
was also present one Mr.. Niemeyer, of
Cincinnati, and executive secretary of
the Builders Exchange. Just when it
seemed that everything was satisfac-
torily adjusted and ready to sign up,
a recess of ten minutes was taken.

ASSAILS LOW BANK
WAGES

New York.-County Judge Taylor,
OF Brooklyn, suggests that the Bank
ers' Association establish code of
ethics and write it in big bold type
that the laborer is worthy of his hire
The court took this position after
he sentenced a bank bookkeeper who
had pleaded guilty to forgery The
testimony showed that the bookkeeper
received but $22 a week.
This is an example of service
protiteering not uncommon among
banks" said Judge Taylor. 1T may
not be legally preventable, but it is
certainly morally reprehensible."

The Friendly
oath -By-
A. UEV Walter !. Robinson
TOO MUCM PROFANITY

TOO often cusslng is taken as a
l. matter Of course. Men In high
positions are frequently expert In the
use Of profane words, and the infiu-
ence Of bad language has a bad effect
on both the old and the young.
Much effort Is being made TO In
crease the use Of better English, and
along with this propaganda it would
be well to preach considerable against
the use of bad language.
Directly cussing, unless the name of
the Master is taken in vain, may cause
no great damage. But indirectly 1t does
much harm. When the little folk hear
their parents swearing, their respect
for their elders Is either lessened or
else the youngsters begin using it
themselves as matter Of course. Not
infreQuently we hear little shavers,
hardly able to speak plainly, using
language which would put many men
and women to shame.
Pike county, Kentucky, recently
honored the memory of its Oldest citi-
zen, Jesse B. Osborne. Much was said
In praise of this departed citizen, who
crossed the bar at the age of ninety
two years, and no louder praise was
heard than of his reputation for never
having permitted a profane word to
pass from his lips.
Judging from this event, one might
assume that profanity Is the rule rather
than the exception. II this Is the case,
isn't 1t about time TO call halt? The
old remedy, considered quite effective
for curing profane habits. was to wash
the boys mouth with soap. But, from
our observation, we are inclined TO be-
lieve that 1t would be unfair to use
such a remedy to stop youths from
cussing. The cause too frequently
rests with the parents who worry and
complain because their offspring are
devilish and almost beyond their con-
troll. A general mouth washing of the
elders probably would have greater
effect
Profane language Is not beautiful.
1t does no good. 1t may be the STEP
ping-stone TO lives OF crime which end
In prison cells. For once the bars are
lowered against small wrongs, the big
ger wrongs are certain to be lurking
near and crawl into ones life.
Less profanity would add to the Joy
of the world.

During this recess Mr.. Niemeyer was
very busy among the employers, and
when the meeting was again called
to order the announcement was made
by the employers that there were no
concessions to make on their part, and
the meeting adjourned with nothing
accomplished.
The result, as stated before, is that
the Electrical Workers. Union has de-
clared strike against the electrical
contractors proposal to pay 80 cents
per hour. The men say they are
firmly convinced that with no out
side interference their grievances
would be quickly adjusted and that in
the action Of their employers they
see plainly that it isn't only the cleo
trical contractors that they have got
to fight. The men are firmly resolved
to stand together in their fight for
what they claim is only just demands
Some of them have been offered jobs
out Of the city and unless matters
are Strengthened out here shortly
Hamilton will lose some of it's best
electricians.

Something to
Think 4b0uf
KEEP ON HIGH ROAD
By r. II. W1LKER

TN A regent newspaper interview,
Charles NJ Schwab, one Of the
notable leaders In the steel industry
In which he began as boy Of seven
teen, forty-one years ago, said, II
would rather lose money month after
month In my plant than make 1t by
any but the highest methods In the
world
Mr.. Schwab went to work to learn
the business and he learned 1t thor
oughly by mastering every detail as
he proceeded, scorning a tired back
and soiled hands.
He credits his rise to loyalty to
his employer and states that success
came from constant application to the
subject In view.
Here In few simple words, for
those who will take time to read, will
be found the formula for the attain
ment Of success.
And here too Is embodied the rule
which every person must accept as
his own,~-a hard and fast law as that
Of the Medes and Persians unfailing
In results and bounteous In reward.
Let the Indifferent young man and
woman, inclined to grumble and shirk
duty, ponder the wonderful meaning Of
highest methods" and loyalty to en-
ployer."
The five words may be likened to
tah 90
success swings wide open at the un-
relenting push of the hand and brain
that refuse to be denied entrance.
Whenever you go to work In sombre
days, remember that there is within
you force, which, If properly applied,
will enable you to open this same door
and take your place among the leaders.
And this force must be called up
by you alone
Nobody else can do 1t for you.
Have faith in yourself, Have no
fear, for fear Is the rock on which
humans fall and go tumbling into the
Valley Of despair
No man or woman with fear In the
heart is capable Of clear discernment,
sure Judgment or superior accomplish
ment.
Keep your mind on the great and
splendid achievements Of others, and
those you want to do yourself. Be
loyal and hold steadfastly to highest
methods,
Preserve an attitude of courage,
courteousness and good cheer.
Avoid the malcontents, the grum-
blers, the sulkers and shirkers, the
makers o~ wry faces and the provok-
ers of quarfels.
Keep on the high road and in the
sunshine.
Move straight In the right direction
and some morning you will find that
success and honor are speeding to-
wards you with open arms.

THE CRUSADES

The sixth crusade was led by Fred
erick II Of Germany.

centuries, from 1895 to 1870.

by John Brienne titular sovereign Of
Jerusalem.

led by Baldwin Of Flanders and the
Doge Of Venice.
Louis VII and Emperor Konrad
led the second crusade at the instiga-
tion Of st. Bernard.
The seventh and eighth crusades,
124S-1254 and 1881 1870, were promot-

land and Philip Augustus Of France
led the third crusade against Saladin,

grims to the holy sepulcher, but de-
veloped into a contest for the posses
sion of Jerusalem itself.
Crusades, from the Latin crux, a
cross, was the name given the relig-
ious wars In the Middle ages between
