The contractor pays no attention to
this student with his few months

Statements from managers that
will retire from business, or import
European actors, or themselves go to
Europe, are obviously ridiculous, y
said President Emerson managers
have too often made these statements
in the past"
Officers of the association have
forestalled attempts to import Euro
pean actors by establishing affiliation
with actors organizations in England
and Australia. The actresses elected
to office include Ethel Barrymore

son and Doris Keane as members OF

LAMBS ARE SHORN

New York = The stock market
slump has brought gloom to Wall
street lambs. Losses aggregating
$2,00O,0 100000 between April 20 and
May % are reported. The shares of
80 corporations show loss of 81, ,722,-
100000 from the high level of this
year.
Standard oil of Indiana was caught
in the swirl and it's stock was pound
ed down to cause a loss of $133 ,200,-
900. The steel trust lost SIS 100000
and General Motors shares dropped
SCI 100000.
The machinery and other property
of these industries is unimpaired,
though the gamblers have boosted up
stock prices so that lambs must fall
from their dizzy heights.
In short time the stocks will be
boosted again, and the game will be
repeated with new flock of lambs.

but few make it a point to raise an
awful rumpus, in spite of the fact
that we pay their prices without a
murmur.
1T is doubtful if there is any line
of business today in which the cost
of equipment and supplies run so high
as in the printing line The travelling
linotype man was here last week and
he told the editor that to duplicate
this linotype and its equipment to.
day would cost us between $4,000
and $6,OOO.00. You can easily imagine
how much is invested in the rest OF
the plant at modern prices.
"a cylinder press that would have
cost us ST 900 ten years ago now costs
more than $4,000, type costs more
than 100 per cent-and so it is al
down the line.
MANY business men fully appreciate
the equipment this office has and the
| service rendered patrons by the
prompt and efficient work it gives
them. Others do not-just as some
do not appreciate the efforts thai
business men put forth to serve them
These things, however, are to bt
expected, and The P. V. man gets his
main satisfaction in the knowledge
that the shop is up-to-date, that the
service is good, and that he has not
yet reached that ooh, what's the use p
stage in life, when he is no longer pro
gressive, no longer interested in The
modern things, and about ready tx

DO THEY APPRECIATE 1T?

The retail clerks and all the store
employees were certainly glad for the
Wednesday noon closing during the
extreme hot weather the past month.
We wonder just how many of the
store employees, outside the members
of the Clerks Union, realize that they
owe this every Wednesday during
June, July and August half holiday to
the efforts of the union, and whether
they are grateful for it and appreciate
the efforts of the union, or whether
they take the holiday as matter of
fact and that it came like Topsy, in
Uncle Toms Cabin, "jist growed." :"
Then again there are those members
of the union who think when they pay
their dues Tin some cases after much
coaXing and threatening expulsion or
taking it up with their employer) the
wonders they have performed those
fellows who never attend a meeting
but criticize the actions of those who
dove wonder if they feel that they
are getting their moneys worth when
they get these half-holidays they are
now enjoying, the short work day, the
Christmas ewes, the only two nights
before Christmas where formerly it
used to be three weeks, and the many
other improved conditions procured
through the union, or whether they
too, like Topsy, think all these things
"jist growed" and that the union owes
them something and should deem it a
privilege to place their name on its
rolls My, there are so many things
to wonder at.

ALIBI FOR STEEL.
REPORT

Pittsburgh, Pa-Protests against
the 12-hour report of steel employers
has caused B. E. Jones, Jr., chairman
of the board sof directors of the Jones
& Laughlin steel corporation to seek
an alibi. He says his concern is max
ing "every effort" to reduce the work
day.
Willis L. King, vice president of the
company, signed the steel report
which states that the workers favor
the 12-hour day. The protests are
SO vehement and SO unexpected that
steel employers are making excuses
The favorite alibi is to have some
press association print long account
of how hours are being reduced.

IT'S VOICE is AMERICAN

The following article appeared
under the above caption in the Cincin-
natl Times-Star editorial column:
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, has
told the Seattle Central Labor Coun-
ell what, from his standpoint, is
wrong with it. He does not like its
fellowship with the l. ". W, it's en-
dorsement of the Soviet dictatorship
in Russia, its sending of delegates to
communist congresses, and its coun-
tenancing handbills of the sabotage
motto, "Take it easy" Let it mend
its ways, he says, or leave the feder-
alton. The statement shows how far
the American labor movement, as di-
rected by Sam Gompers, differs in its
spirit from the old world labor move
ment. It's chief is quite conscious of
the difference, and brought out one
feature of it with emphasis three
years ago when he declared that the
American was perhaps the only
great and powerful labor movement in
the world which does not sanction re-
striction of output by the workers
The other features he has taken fre-
quent occasion to underscore, notably
in his repeated refusals to counte-
nance the policies of Russias Soviet
chiefs So, under strong and capable
leadership, the American labor move
ment follows its own destinies. 1t has
been no freer from error than any
other American institution. But it
has never subscribed to the doctrine
that the way to assure every mans
having enough of the worlds goods is
for every man to work with one hand

AS JOHN d. SEES THE WORLD

AS JOHN ID. SEES THE WORLD
The anti-union Standard Oil Com
pany just can't seem to behave,
whether at home or abroad.
This remark is inspired by the sad
experience of Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey subsidiary, the
West India Oil Company, which is in
a heap of trouble down in Argentina.
1t seems that the West India Oil
Company and the affiliated Compania
Nacional de Uetroleo have been con
victed of defrauding the Argentine
custom house of duties on oil valued
at more than $3,000,000
The two companies have assumed
an injured attitude and are pleading
that the federal Judge who returned
the verdict made a grave mistake"
based on erroneous information. The
companies further protest that they
acted legally and declare they are con-
fident of vindication at the hands of
higher courts.
While willing to suspend final judg
ment pending developments, the ordi-
nary citizen can't help but remember
the unsavory record of the Standard
Oil Company, with its long list of
convictions for unfair business prac-
tices, its ruthless crushing of COM
petitors and its bitter enmity toward
organized labor.
Though willing to give the Standard
the benefit of the doubt, there's lit
tie quotation about the leopard not
being able to change it's spots, which
will persist in running through Mr..
average mans head, strive as he may
to forget it.

TRADE UNION PERMANENCY

The trade union movement is per
manent organization; members die,
officers replaced by others; good
times follow bad ones; firms pass out
of existence, new ones take their
places; individual firms merge into
corporations and trusts, but the
trade-union movement continues to
function The welfare of the trade
union movement does not depend upon
season or a period 1t is like the
government of a country, something
which is permanent, as contrasted
with the fluctuations in the fortunes
of political parties. In this respect
as well as in many others the trade
union movement differs from the So
called company unions, which, like
the political partisan depend upon
the dominance of a political party

the Business Printer Every once
in while one of them starts in to
tell his readers something about the
cost of running printing plant, and
it makes interesting reading. Below
is something that Ray Roy recently
printed in his Windsor Poudre Valley
that is enlightening. Mr.. Ray says:
''The P. " recently added a few
extra fonts of type, new type cabi-
net and some mats and small mag
azine for the linotype The bill for
the type and cabinet came to $500.
The little brass magazine and the few
supplies for the machine amounted to
$1O1.
"And then a customer now and then
kicks on the price of a little job of

than $40. Not many of our customers
roar about prices, for they know that
everything is high in their line as well,

tablish the american plan" or anti

Original complaint against these
organizations was filed with the u S.
department of justice by the Amer

The American planners" in San
Francisco attempted to dictate en-
ployment policies under which mem
Der firms were compelled to operate
on an anti-union basis or forfeat the
right to supplies of material There
were other trimmings to the plan.
1t will be interesting to see whether
the United States government makes
its conspiracy charge stick and to
see whether it succeeds in getting a
permanent injunction to end the prac-
tices which it now complains of as
unlawful.

THE STRIKE TRAGEDY
In cautioning iron and steel work
ers against over-use of the strike.
Secretary of Labor James j. Davis
says:
Let US be slow to use the strike
weapon. The tragedy of every strike
it seems to me, is that ultimately
it is settled by negotiation or COM
promise. After men have been idle
for months, after women and children
have been brought down to the last
crust of bread, the representatives of
both sides get together around the
counsel table and reach settlement
They go right back to where they
were when the months of misery be-
gan, and in almost every case both
the worker and employer have lost
by the conflict. Instead of conference
after months of industrial battle, |
would have counsel before the strike
is called"
That is all very good logic, Mr..
Davis, but did you ever hear of a
strike being called by the workers
until everything possible to be done
that could be done, was done by the
workers before calling strike in
order to obtain that which they re-
garded as their just rights and their
just dues? And isn't it fact that
the employer, at such times as a rule,
absolutely refuses to meet represen-
tatives of the workers and counsel,
saying, eve don't propose to let our
tell US what to do or how
to run our business" or words to
that effect? Isn't that true, Mr.
Davis?

Think For Yourself

The Harware Mans Idea
Book tells story of young
man who ran a hardware
store out in the backwOods
some place, and the whole
salers found him a bit slow in
paying up. They sent him a
flock of letters, all of them
polite, but ever getting a lit
tie more threatening.
Finally, they sent man
down to talk with him.
I'VE must have settle
ment," the caller said. "Why
don't you pay up? Are things
going badly"
NO" said the hardware
man, "eyerything's great.
Don't worry. My bankers
will guarantee me all right"
Then why don't you come
across?" the visitor asked, a
little exasperated.
"Well, you see, those
threatening letters of yours
were so well done that I've
been copying them and send
ing them out to some custom
ers of mine who won't pay
up. I've collected most of
my outstanding debts now,
but | thought there must be
a final letter, and | was
holding out for the complete
set"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-06-29

When we read the hot air,
the propaganda, the deluge
of bunk, that the old party
politicians put out, we won
der, like the hardware man,
how long it can continue and
If there mustn't be a final
letter" some time. But, un-
like the collection agency,
there's no limit so far as the
politicians are concerned.
They keep going on and on
forever, like the brook Ten
nyson made famous.
And they expect us to
stand for it indefinitely, too.
The remedy, so far as we are
concerned, is to look upon
this output just exactly as
the hardware man looked
upon the collection letters
a. something that doesn't af-
feet US in the least, because
we're all right in spite of the
politicians-if we only real
ize it-and as something we
needn't take seriously.
IF we will think for our
selves, this deluge of prOpa-
ganda won't do us any harm.
And if we don't think for
ourselves, nothing can do us
much good.
