NON-UNION GOODS
in HAMILTON

The members of Local Bakery and
Confectionery Workers Union No. 81
again calls attention to all union men
and friends that the bread, cakes,
crackers and all other products of the
Krug Baking Co. and the National
Biscuit Company, of Cincinnati, are
non-union and do not bear the label.
They ask that union families and
friends purchase only goods bearing
the union label. They are right in
this, for there is no excuse for pur-
chasing non-union made bread and
other baked products when there is
plenty to be had bearing the label.
The Retail Clerks Union desires
to call attention of union men and
friends that the Newark shoe store
has broken it's agreement with their
organization and no longer employees
union clerks and is no longer union
store. The clerks ask that all organ
lied labor and friends take cognizance
of this fact and act accordingly. No
excuse for patronizing nonunlon
stores when there are so many union
stores in the city and whose owners
appreciate the friendship and patron
age of trade unionists.

SHOP men WIN

Striking shop men were victorious
this week in their struggle on another
one of the big railroads which has
been holding out against them. This
was made known Tuesday when John
J. Dowd, chairman of the central
strike committee of the Metropolitan
district and head of the American
Federation of Labor Shop Craft
Unions in the New York district, an
nounced that an agreement had been
signed by the Erie railroad and its
subsidiaries. The agreement affects
10000 union shop craft workers, re-
stores seniority rights and provides
back pay for nearly 10000 men who
went on strike last July.
With the Erie signed up with the
union and deserting its allies, the
heretofore solid structure of the OPP
position becomes exceedingly weak
and wobbly.
Incidentally, it might be added that
very light comment has been made
by the daily press on this big victory
of the striking shop men.

SAM SCHOENCOLD
Leaves WOrthmOre Store
and A. Pastor Sue
ceeds Him

1t was with regret last week that
many learned that Sam Schoengold
has given up the management OF the
Worthmore store and will leave the
city permanently. Mr.. Schoengold
came to Hamilton a year ago, and
during that short time, by his genial
and courteous manner, made hum
dreds of friends here, all of whom are
sorry to know he is leaving. During
his wears residence here Mr.. Schoen-
gold took active interest in the affairs
of the Retail Merchants Association,
Chamber of Commerce and all per-
tanning to the city's good. Mr..
Schoengold will assume management
of Rollman Sons, Cincinnati, clothing
department as soon as the new Roll
man building is completed. His hun
dreds of Hamilton friends will wish
for him every success in his new
venture.
Succeeding Mr.. Schoengold at the
Worthmore store will be Mr.. A. Pas
tor, who has had many years eXpe-
rience in the clothing business and
who is we'll qualified to fill the posi-
ton. Associated with Mr.. Pastor is
his son, Martin Pastor, who also has
had much experience in the clothing
line. Hamilton welcomes these two
gentlemen and wish for them the con-
tinued success which the Worthmore
enjoyed in the past.

PLEA FOR MINERS
BABES

Pittsburgh, Pa.-The committee ap
pointed by the international executive
board, United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, to investigate the strike in Penn
sylvania coke fields, have issued an
urgent plea that trade unionists and
sympathizers aid these workers, and
especially their babes.
This strike started last April when
the organized miners called for gen
eral suspension of work to protect
their wage scale. These workers
were unorganized, but succeeded,
says the committee, "in tying up this
slave-ruled mining country of Frlck,
Gary, Rockefeller and other over
burdened wealth owners who rule by
force and not by reason or justice.
AS a punishment, former slaves were
ordered from the company -owned
houses of the above self-styled 100 per
cent Americans, and today thousands
of these striking mine workers are
living with their families in tents,
stables, chicken coops and barracks" "
The committee says they saw small
children with pasteboard tied on the
soles of their feet and wrapped
around with rags to answer for shoes
and stockings" The cossacks are in
this field and have murdered five
miners.

"DISCRACEFUL"
Says Secretary Davis, of
COOlie Labor Plot

Washington.-A heavily financed
conspiracy to bring coolie laborers
into the United States is operating
successfully, declares Secretary of
Labor Davis. "Some of the best
brains in America" are being employ
ed to carry out the plot, and the stu
alton "is simply disgraceful," he said.
Bribery and corruption are included
in the charges.
The use of Chinese seamen makes
the admission of large number of
coolies possible These Chinese are
employed on vessels owned by the
United States shipping board. Under
the law an Oriental seaman can take
60 days leave in American ports
while waiting for other ships. The
secretary of labor calls attention to
the well-known practice of Chinese
seamen concealing themselves in
their vessels, while coolies walk off
the ship unmolested by government
officials, who are told the coolies are
seamen.
$50 extensive has this practice
grown" said the secretary, chat the
reported desertions at the port of San
Francisco amount to from IS to $50
monthly. Desertions of the same type
of seamen at Atlantic ports have been
very frequent. The evidence seems
conclusive that nearly all of these are
not really seamen, but secure berths
as such with the sole view of OBJ
tanning shore leave at an American
port and never returning. 1t is prac-
tically impossible to locate such de-
serting seamen of the Oriental races
as have reached sections inhabited by
others of their race in our large
cities"

STRIKEBREAKERS ARE
COSTLY

New -Strikebreakers en-
ployed by the Southern Pacific rail-
road forced an increased equipment
cost of S614,706 over last year, IL
nancial report reveals.
The company did not permit this
extra cost to interfere with dividends.
1t upset the charge bu cutting $485,-
946 from maintenance-of-way and
structure expenses. This means that
the property was permitted to de-
teriorate so tsrikebreakers could be
paid and dividends assured.
The report shows that the Southern
Pacific is the first of the important
roads to report for November a good
sized increase in earnings. This was
done at the expense of the road bed
and other equipment.

The bill was taken to the

Many Bills Doomed to Die

The soldier bonus remained the
most important measure before the
Legislature today, the last DAY Of the
aeventy-third session. The Assem-
bly, is scheduled TO adjourn tonight
or in the early hours of Tuesday

The bonus was before the Senate
for final passage. A test vote sew
eral days ago indicated the final vote
would be close.
A total of 92S bills had been intro
duced in the session. Up to today

Outstanding Legislation
Among the most important meas
ures passed:
\ SIT 900. 900 appropriation bill, IN
cIuding 81 1000 900 for the State refor-
matory.
A bill almost doubling automobile
license fees.
\ bill prohibiting commercial sport
ing events on Memorial day.
4 bill authorizing cooperative farm
marketing associations.
A bill authorizing the teaching or
German in high schools.
\ number Of bills increasing penal
ties and otherwise strengthening the
liquor laws.
Marked by Contention
The session has not been marked
by much new legislation. but it has
been marked by contention from be
ginning to end. 1t has been more
evenly divided politically than for
number of years. and this fact re
suited in continuous difficulties.
The appropriations bill was bitterly
fought from beginning to end. The
fight brought about one of the most
riotous scenes ever staged in the
Legislature when the Democratic
members of the House went out,
'on strike" Efforts to obtain in
formation about State finances re-
suited in a near fist fight in the
Senate.
The Speedway bill was one OF the
hardest fought, but the contest was
confined to lobbying and oratory.
See Republican Doom
From beginning to end the Demo
cratic members have been making
political capital out of the Assembly.
They contend the action of the Legis-
lature spells the doom Of the Re-
publican party in Indiana. On the
other hand, the Republicans express
themselves as satisfied with the re-
suits In some instances their pro-
gram was blocked by the Democrats
and by difficulties in their own ranks.
but for the most part they were
successful.
The McCray program succeeded in
part. The Governor made his strong
est fight for the reformatory appro-
priation and succeeded in obtaining
it. The highway department finan-
ciaI program was successful only in
part. The greatest blow to the ad-
ministration was the death Of the
county units school bill.
