SKILLED AMERICAN SEAMEN ABOARD SHIP
IS BASIS OF REAL MERCHANT MARINE

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-If east
ern organizations of shipping men are
sincere in interesting the public in the
merchant marine, they must first in
terest the public in American seamen,
says Paul Scharrenberg, editor of the
Seamens Journal
The seaman editor says shipowners
and shipping papers with few honor
able exceptions have generally flout-
ed the idea that American crews are

ORGANIZATION IN
STEEL INDUSTRY IS
| NOW UNDER WAY
4. :. Of L. Plans Great Organization
Drive on Steel Industry. conserva-
tive Men and Policies VIII Have
Charge Of Work; Gary sneers.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Announce-
ments that the Is unions with affilia-
lions In the steel industry had adopt
Ed plans for the unionization Of the
Industry did not come unexpectedly,
Or It was expected some such state
nent would be made when Gary en-
Dhasized his view adverse to the 12-
hour day. In addition, it is alleged
that knowledge of these plans prompt
ed Gary to make the conditional an
houncement as to the inception of a
shorter work day. The proposed plan
embodies the following minimum de-
mands: A higher wage, improved
working conditions, the genreal 8-hour
day and stricter immigration laws
Moreover with the announcement Of
this organization campaign it is also
stated that it will be free from any
and every control that might be con-
sidered radical. 1t is known that
leaders in the last strike regarded
both Fitzgerald and Foster, who Had
charge of 1t, as altogether too radi-
cal"
Now, however, M. C. McCadden, ac-
tive in the Cleveland movement, will
be the moving spirit in charge and
will direct the forces of labor from a
conservative point of view. This is
supposed to give him a distinct ad-
vantage in dealing with the steel men
Radicals commenting on this part
of the announcement show no resent
ment. One well-known radical lead
er who will have no part in the pro-
gram this time says that il they sue
coed no one will rejoice more than
he. He admits that be will be an in
terested watcher Of the progress that
will be made by McCadden, to whom
he wishes the best of luck.
More practical criticism tor or ad-
verse to the forthcoming campaign Is
that which points out that the 12-hour
day publicly has practically provided
a general public attitude favorable to
organization. Against this, 1t is point
ed out that steel industry is entering
duiier period and steel shipped in
June was, double the amount of orders
booked during the same month. This
means that If orders continue to de-
cline that men will be laid off and
consequently organization progress be-
comes notoriously more difficult in a
falling market.
Gary, in a published statement,
scorns the campaign. Sometimes
these outsiders have threatened trou-
BILE, but it is not lasting" he is quoted
as saying, "and when the men have
an opportunity to pass upon the ques-
tions that are raised they are gener-
ally prompt to decide in favor with
the management"
Cleveland will be the probable
headquarters for the organization
campaign. The attitude Of the public
officials, which have always brow
beaten and manhandled organizers
before, will be watched carefully. IN
the Pennsylvania districts of the steel
trust it is believed that with Governor
Pinchot of the states chief executive
there is a chance that labor officials,
speakers and organizers may get more
equitable treatment than in the past.

TICKET SCHEDULE FOR FAIR
is NOW MADE PUBLIC

The Fair management particularly
calls your attention at this time to
the sale of season tickets for the fair
which is only a little over week off
now. The season tickets are now on
sale at the city clerks office, the third
door west of the First National bank
corner. Now is the time to come in
and get your season tickets. Don't
put it off until the first day of the fair,
because there is always so much con-
gestion around the gate at that time
vat 1t is impossible to put out the
aason tickets without a persons buy
ing them and having to spend consia
eraDie time in line waiting for turn.
The price for the tickets this year are
the same as they have always been,
two dollars for adults, and one dollar
for children under twelve years of age.
A season ticket is good for admis-
sion at all times during the fair, both
day and night Your attention is call
Gu W lhio iaNNr Dctduot IL diipho sOu
to pass in and out any time you wish,
without having to buy another ticket,
1t costs no more to buy them right
now than it will if you wait until the
last minute. There will be no compli-
mentary tickets or passes issued to
anyone, nor will there be any pass out
checks issued to anyone. The best
fairs all over the country are adopting
this rule as they have found that it is
the only method of getting rid of the
unpleasant annoyances and politics
that come up in connection with COM
plimentary tickets. There were no
complimentary tickets issued here last
year and the management attributes
most OF its financial success as due to
this rule.
The entertainment committee has
arranged a program which is much
better than any previous programs
they have had here at any fair. It is
one worthy of your patronage as you
can see by reading the various bills
and programs that have been put out
over the county. The fair is adver-
tised within a radius of sixty to one
hundred miles in every direction.
The management is doing every
thing within its power to provide for
your entertainment education and
comfort while you attend the fairl As
this Is strictly county enterprise,
the people of the county are directly
responsible to see that the fair goes
across in good shape by coming every
day that it is possible for them to get
away. It reyerts back to your shoul
ders to support the fair whether you
attend or not. So. why not make q
special effort to be here aud take in
everything to be seen. and most i'm
portant of all, boost for yoIr county
at all times. Tell your friends and
urge them to come and meet you on
the fair grounds September 4. s, G. Z.

AN EDITORS MISTAKE

The editor of local paper is often
unjustly censured for his mistakes.
The wonder is that he doesn't make
more, He must deal with all kinds
of subjects. give the names, date. etc.
One hour he may be engaged in re-
porting religious meeting and the
next in drawing picture of fight.
He must condense and fill with his
items several columns whether events
are transpiring to throw up material
or not. Count the local Items in the
paper and imagine how many steps an
editor had to take to collect them.
Tie smallest one may have cost MIN
long walk and much effort 20 reach
the fact. When one paper goes to
Press. he must turn his attention to
thu next one. He makes the rounds
in search OF news and may not get a
line. his local columns stare him in
tho face and demand to be filled not
with skim milk but with cream OF the
news events and matters Of interest.
His bounds are limited. yet he must
find In each day throughout the week,
month and year. something of inter
est TO the public. With constant
strain producing weariness. worry
aud an almost endless variety of sub
jects to touch upon, is IL surprising
that he should occasionally make a
mistake. other people do, why should
nj an editor.
