STREET CAR
COMPANY LOOTED
BY FINANCIERS

Newark, N. 1.-The living wage de-
mand of organized street car employees
has forced the public to inquire what
the company has done with its in
come.
Many of the lines that form the
company are leased from their own
ers for 999 years by the pledge of
set dividend on the stock. One local
newspaper says:
ut (the trolley company is made
up of number of companies that
were fioated under the old rule of
mortgaging them for bonds for all
they were worth and giving out the
stock as a bonus. And there were
some high jinks done with that stock
When the companies got near bank
ruptcy they reorganized into the pres
ent company 20 years ago.
But that stock carried with it the
ownership and management of the
companies consolidated and it was
necessary for the public service rail
way company to get control.
"A good deal of it was leased by
the device of guaranteeing rates and
dividends. The company has issued
its own securities partly on the pledge
of its right in those lines.
"The public is paying for these mis-
takes and for any of the leases that
were taken on at more than they were
proved to be worth"

FARMERS FACE RUIN

Observation-Disclosures of farm
ers will go bankrupt because of low
prices, said Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace in statement relative to the
wheat situation The cabinet official
does not favor fixing prices nor buy
ing the surplus wheat by the govern
ment. He believes these plans are
valueless. He said freight rates on
farm commodities should be reduced.
"The farmer could get along fairly
well with present prices of what he
has to sell if prices Of what he must
buy were down accordingly. But
prices and other things remain high.
That is what hurts" said the secre-
tary.

By JULIAN PIERCE

Labor Day, 1928, is significantly a
day of rejoicing for labor and hu-
manity.
Democracy is the basis of liberty.
Those whose economic ancestors
were slaves and serfs know the mean
ing of liberty. Because they know
its meaning, the workers are stead
fastly determined to secure it as a
real rather than an economic right.
Democracy is therefore the under
lying principle upon which the la
Dor movement is based.
But democracy, and, through de-
mocracy, freedom is not gained by
isolated efforts of individuals. They
are gained by the steady, persistent
we'll thought practical, progres
sive efforts of the workers to secure
justice, opportunity, and peace for
themselves, their children, and for
all humanity.
Democracy Guarantees Rights
The inalienable rights to life, lib
.erty and the pursuit of happiness are
mere paper declarations unless there
is complete democracy. Democracy
in government. Democracy in indus
try. Democracy in every department
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-08-31
The solidarity of labor is thorough

The solidarity of labor is thorough
and firm.
The understanding of labor is COM
plete and unerring.
The principles and aspirations of
labor are written deeply and perma-
nently in the fundamental rights of
mankind. They are emblazoned in
the Declaration of independence.
They are vivified by the devoted
heartbeats of the workers everywhere.
So labor must triumph.
With labor's triumph will come the
Brotherhood of Man.
Then will be realized the vision of
the prophet:
"They shall build houses and in
habit them; and they shall plant vine
yards and eat the fruit of them.
'They shall not build and another
inhabit; they shall not plant and
another eat"

LABOR DAY 1923

of life where social relations require
adjustment.
To make these academic declara-
tions facts the labor movement since
its inception has carried on its three
fold work of agitation, education, and
organization.
Because of labor's efforts there is
today fuller conception of the es-
sential liberties of mankind and the
measures necessary for their preser-
vation and extension.
Labor Day, 1928, is day of re-
joicing for labor and humanity be-
cause the underlying principles and
aspirations of labor are firmly estab-
lished and completely justified. They
have become the principles and as
pirations of all forward looking peo-
pie.
Labor's recent achievements strik-
ingly demonstrate the truth of this
statement.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-08-31

Labor's invincible battalions have
very definitely defeated the employ
ers in their five-yearl war waged
against the organized workers gen.
orally.
Labor's battalions have protected
and extended the union shop SO effec-
lively that the employers postwar
movement to destroy labor organiza-
tions and establish an employers die
tatorship, based upon the non-union
shop and ruins of the labor move
ment, is now a negligible quantity.
Labor's battalions have defeated
the anti-union employers wage re-
ard of living, and driven ahead la
duction policy, with its lower stand
boris wage increase policy, with its
higher standard of living, until wage
increases are now the order of the
day everywhere.
Labor's insistence that un-Ameri-
can employers of the United States
steel corporation type shall not beat
down the living standards of Ameri-
can workers by saturating the work
ing population with hordes of cheap
alien workers is generally accepted by
all those who have the welfare of
America and her institutions at heart.
Compulsory Labor Advocates Beaten
Labor's demand for the adjudica-
tion of labor disputes by free and
voluntary negotiations between rep
resentatives of the organized work
ers and the employers has gone for
ward until those who advocate COM
pulsory labor are limited to few die
hard tories obsessed with the slave
labor concept of industrial relations.
These conquests for labor and hu-
manity are not the unusual. They
are but the current manifestation of
labor's historical achievements.
Throughout the ages the organized
power of the workers meets and van
quishes the taskmasters' oppression.
Throughout the ages labor marches
steadily toward its goal of complete
emancipation.
Link by link labor breaks the
hairs rivited by the masters.
One by one labor wins its de-
mands.
One by one labor brings so-called
economic laws" within the province
of human control for human better
ment.
Liberty Labor's Goal
Step by step labor forges ahead
with its vision ever fixed on liberty
as the light of the world.
Gradually and yet persistently la
boris purposes are becoming the pur-
poses of the nation; for every victory
won by labor is victory for hu-
manity entire.
The constructive methods of labor
are symbolic of progress.
