EXPLOIT PRISON
LABOR

Chicago.-The large number of pri-
son officials and prison contractors
at the recent convention of the Ma
tional Broom Manufacturers Asso-
citation, leads Will r. Boyer, editor of
the Broom Maker, to the belief that
the association is controlled by con-
vict labor exploiters.
The trade unionist scores politicians
and others who fleece blind broom
makers in various institutions.
"It is almost impossible to believe
that there are men so depraved as to
do the things that have been done in
the name of charity in some of these
blind workshops" he says.
"The blind broom maker should be
paid 100 per cent above the union
scale and his products used by all
state, county and city institutions in
his state, paid for by such political
divisions at the market price. Other
wise close all these institutions, oust
political appointees and give the ap-
preparations direct to the dependent
blind of the state in the form of a
pension.
"The use of public funds to destroy
an industry is criminal in prisons as
we'll as these institutions for the blind
and that is just what is being done to
the broom industry"

HENRY FORD AND HOME

According to an interview with
Edgar Allen Guest, printed in the
American Magazine, Henry Ford is a
sentimentalist about home. Those
who have considered the worlds most
talked of man as mechanical as one
Of his products should change their
opinion, according to Guest, who
writes persuasively of Ford's normal
tiles.
Ford has spent thousands of dol
lars in restoring his birthplace at
Dearborn, Mich, to what it was when
his mother was alive, says Guest.
The furniture, furnishings, interior
and exterior are as they were in the
old days when. his mother was alive.
Of her Ford is quoted as saying:
Il have tried to live my life as my
mother would have wished. / believe
that ! have done, as far as l could,
just what she hoped for me- She
taught duty in the world l believed
her then, and l believe her now. |

have tried to follow her teaching"
Nothing remarkable about this
statement. 1t is a universal tribute
to motherhood, and Ford is a man in
spite of his millions Seldom has a
man anything but trust and alteration
for his mother. 1t was largely for her
that Ford fixed up the old place. He
had had good home, and he treasured
it's memory. That home spirit, ne
SAYS, ais what the modern family
needs to learn" And although at first
thought it would seem his automobiles
do much toward robbing home of it's
rest and quiet, apparently by giving
families opportunity of getting out
together, he helps cement home ties.
Anyhow, that is what he says he is
trying to do. And his example of
gathering his own family around the
fireside in the evenings for singing
and quiet conversation, an example
not so common as it should be, seems
to bear out his professed desire to
make the world happier and more

AT THE RIALTO
Starting Sunday, a Screen
Sensation, Down to the
Sea in Ships"

One of the biggest and most SEN
sational thrills ever recorded by a
motion picture camera can be found
in Elmer Clifton's Down to the Sea
in Ships" the feature attraction at
the Rialto theatre, beginning next
Sunday, for five days.
This scene shows where Raymond
Mckee, who plays the leading male
role in this production, harpoons a
whale, and later the wounded and
angry monster of the deep turns
upon the small boat and catapults the
occupants into the water, smashing
the boat to kindling.
When Mr.. Clifton decided on pay
ing last tribute to the now almost
forgotten whaling industry, by film
ing the actual harpooning of whale,
he planned to photograph the real
stuff AS result Mr.. Mckee was
forced to sign ships papers and en-
list upon regular whaler
This particular scene, it is said,
shows the small boat being towed at
express train speed through the water
by the angry whale. 1t then shows
the whale make turn and charge the
boat. Critics and experts have said,
wherever this production has been
shown, that this thrill is one of the
biggest sensations ever seen upon the
screen. 1t plainly shows Raymond
Mckee risking life and limb in the
taking of these realistic scenes.
The management of the Rialto
theatre feels confident that the motion
picture public will find this scene
truthful in every detail, and recon-
mends Down to the Sea in Ships" as
one of the best and most interesting
photoplays of the year.
The added features will be Bray

The call has come from stricken
Japan for help. Everyone knows the
causes and why. No need going
into that. The people need food,
clothing, rebuilding of their homes
and all other actual necessities of life.
1t is going to take millions of dollars
to put the residents of the stricken
territory back on their feet. Hamil-
tons quota is 5,200-small, compared
with our wealth. Is Hamilton going
to fail in this instance?? Surely
not Hamilton must do like many
other cities have already done-go
way past the mark. The Press makes
a special plea to the workers of the
city to step up promptly and do their
part. We preach the Golden Rule
Let US now practice what we preach
and give most literally and promptly
to Japan If you haven't already
given, do it now. 1t is never too late
to do good. Whatever you do, don't
fail to give. LET'S HELP.

WE LEAD THE WORLD

American trade unionism leads the
world today in every phase of the
realm of organized labor activity.
There is not trade union movement
in Europe as free from internal dis
cord as free from bitterness and dis
appointment, as united and confident
of the future as the trade union
movement of the United States.
Labor in the United States is better
paid than anywhere else in the world.
1t lives in better homes. 1t wears
better clothes 1t has more leisure.
1t enjoys better food. 1t has wider
margin of choice in determining how
and where it shall live. Finally, It
has better trade union movement
with which to achieve more progress
and improvement.

Coal companies pay, arm
and employ large numbers
of deputy sheriffs. The Ten
nessee Coal, Iron and Rail-
road Company employed 407
private sheriffs in one month
and this number was only a
part of the vast army of un-
authorized and illegal sol
diers employed by these pri-
vate corporations. In Fay
cite County, Pa, a sheriff
commissioned $50 men for
firing duty. They were paid
by the coal companies.
Imagine that a labor union
employed as soldiers this
great division of armed men.
What would happen? The
Government would place
every union official and
every member of the local in
prison for starting an insur-
rection or rebellion. But
why does not the Govern

interests do it? Ask Daugh-

DAuGHERTY MAY RESIGN

One good piece of news comes out
of the general gloom over the death
of President Harding-Attorney Gen.
eral Daugherty is declared to have
made up his mind to resign!
Daugherty, of all the attorneys
general of the United States, has
been exceeded in unfitness only by A.
Mitchell Palmer. He has been sub
iect to the same hallucinations in re-
gard to the radicals that obsessed
Palmer, and, we may infer, from the
same reason. Pleaders for special
privilege, panderers to cliques of buc-
caneering gentry who have robbed the
government stone blind, both Palmer
and Daugherty sought to cover their
misdeeds by turning the attention of
the public to the ''reds."
Daugherty used all the great pow
ers of his office to destroy the organi-
zation and the effectiveness of the
strike of the railroad shopmen on the
plea that they were striking against
the government when they opposed a
decision of the railroad labor board.
He could find no law to support him,
however, in any proceeding against
the Pennsylvania railroad when it vio-
lated the decision of the same board
with wholesale contempt.
Here's hoping the attorney general
does not change his mind. Coolidge
could not possibly get worse man
in his place if he tried.-The Labor

A CALL TO MOTHERS

"Collier's" is running a series of
articles on child labor in the United
States. The writer summarizes the
results of his Investigations in the
following paragraph:
"When we say that over one million
American boys and girls are doing
child labor we mean over one million
and we mean labor-not just chores
or helping mother or dad around the
place-but downright hard labor--for
hire-at competitive wages. That
means cheap and nasty jobs for un-
protected kids.
every child ought to do work
but not for dead stretch of 10 or
IL hours day every day, and not at
the expense of present schooling and
future health.
The supreme court, by vote of
five to four, has said that the con-
stitution throws thousand safe
guards around the dollar but leaves
the child at the mercy of heartless
exploiters.
How long will the mothers OF
America tolerate this situation? They
are no longer helpless. They have
the ballot. Will they use it to pro
tect the most precious asset of the
republic?

The strike started New Years eve,

cut wages from $2750 a week to $40
a week and commissions.
The workers victory is practically
100 per cent. Their old rate is re-

employed. The union agrees to accept
as members any employe of the COM
pany now engaged. The company will
withdraw a $250,O00 damage suit.

Charges that employees of

in houses in towns that are
situated on company prop
erty, and that before they
can have such houses they
must sign leases. 1t sub

leases. Some of these forbid

DON'T RELAX THE FIGHT

Opponents of unrestricted immi
grafton must never relax their vigi-
lance, as the United States steel cor
poration and other big interests,
though admitting there will be no i'm
portant changes in present immigra
ton laws, are as determined as ever
to have the law modified so as to per-
NIT great numbers of workers from
Europe to come to the United States
The attitude of the steel corporation
is we'll illustrated by the organ of the
iron and steel trade, the Iron Age,
which recently printed an article
from Washington stating that there
would be no liberalization" of i'm
migration laws, and that, on the con-
trary, the outlook was that congress
may tighten present provisions.
At the same time, the Iron Age
revealed that the steel interests have
not given up the fight by featuring an
article attempting to explain at length
why labor from Europe is needed in
steel plants. The article, by George
Walter, of an Indianapolis machine
company, declares that foreigners are
essential to the steel trade because
they are the only workers who will do
the hard work necessary to the pro-
duction of steel. He writes:
Il have seen men in steel mills
working entire shifts with wet towels
bound around their foreheads. Smoke
and SCOT gummed up with the sweat
ran down the bare blistered shoulders
of the men at the soaking pits, spit
ting blue dust from their mouths as
they shoveled it into the pits below.
Small wonder then that the cry should
be, "This is no white mans job"
Having proved to his own satisfac-
ton that foreign labor is necessary
to steel production, Mr.. Walter ends
his argument as follows:
"Steel wants and must have the
foreigner Steel is ready and willing
to deal with the strike question among
the foreigners. Then why not let
down the bars a little and let steel
have it's labor and at the same time
hold steel responsible for the good
behavior of its imported product?"
Leaving aside the assertion that
steel is perfectly willing to take the
chance of strikes if it can have all
the cheap foreign labor that it wants,
with it's implied threat that the steel
magnates will deal with strikes as
they have in the past, here is revealed
with no camoufage the determination
of steel to win unrestricted immigra-
tion
The Iron Ages article drives home
the truth that organized labor must
not rest on it's oars in the immigra-
tion fight. Steel and other big inter
ests are "up and doing" every minute

never losing an opportunity to work
for the liberalization" as they term
it, of the immigration laws. Labor
must be equally vigilant. Knowing
that its present stand is for the best
interests of the workers, as well as
the nation as whole, labor must re-
new it's determination never to relax
for a moment it's opposition to unre-
stricted immigration.

LONG wORKDAY MUST GO

In focusing public attention on the
12-hour work day in the steel indus
try, there is danger of forgetting that
hundreds of thousands of men and
women still toll II hours in other
continuous operation industries.
The committee which reported on
the 12-hour shift in industry for the
Federated American Engineering So
cieties revealed that there are up
ward of 40 industries operating upon
shift systems. About 100000 wage
earners in these industries work II
hours day and it is estimated that
100000 are affected by the long
workday.
The report shows that the cement,
lime, brick, tile, fertilizer, sugar, cot
tonseed crushing and ice industries
have much 12-hour work. Policemen,
fremen, watchmen, store workers,
garagemen, railroad men and others
also do much 12-hour work.
All of which emphasizes the neces-
sity for continuing the war on the
12-hour day. Apparently the steel in
dustry is at last making beginning
at ending the long workday, and IS
finding the 8-hour day eminently
practical Other industries should be
forced to take a similar step. Public
opinion must be aroused to demand
the end of the long workday in every
industry, as it did the case of the
steel trade
Organized labor should take the
lead in the fight on the 12-hour day,
following the plan of campaign used
against the steel trust. Exposure of
the evils of the long workday should
go hand-in-hand with organization of
the 12-hour workers. The 12-hour
day is barbarous, inhuman and utter
ly unnecessary and there is no place
for it in this day and age. It must go,
