Wilson.
Senator Jones, however, has at no
time, questioned the right of his op-
ponents to use the filibuster against
the ship subsidy bill, which he had
charge of on the floor of the senate.
1t is an open secret that several of
the senators who would have voted
for the bill because of political ex-
pediency and party regularity are re-
joicing over the bills defeat. These
senators gave secret aid to the fill
buster, which was conducted without
the bitterness that has marked other

THE LEDGER SMART

The Philadelphia Public Ledger
could not conceal its rage when it
was first announced the filibusters had
won their fight against the ship sub
sidy bill. Most advocates of this
measure took their defeat gracefully,
but the Public Ledger, in a leading
editorial, snarls:
"In Washington they say the ship
subsidy bill is doomed It's friends
have faltered under the fire of the
filibusters. They are flying the milk
white flag of surrender to the motley
crew of short-grass radicals and barn
lot patriots who can not see beyond
the corn rows and red silos of the
middle west and the cotton patches of
the south. The hill-billy patriot and
the one-gallused statesman from the
forks of the creeks have whipped the
republican party and made it kiss the
lash"
The Public Ledger would create the
impression that the filibuster was
never used before and that it is not
recognized in the senate as a leglti-
mate parliamentary weapon. I'VE
are seeing a demons tration of gov
ernment by minority" means the
editor, who conceals the fact that one
of the longest filibuster speeches ever
made in the senate was made by Sen
ator Jones, Of Washington, who had
charge of the recently defeated ship
subsidy bill. Senator Jones spoke for

THE 'KLONDIKE" STRIKE

Ending of the strike at the Hamil-
ton Machine Tool Company's plant,
known to many as the "Klondike." is
matter of much qualification to the
local labor movement and all con
cerned. 1t is happy ending to
long drawn-out struggle. The con-
fiict has gone on for period of four
years, and it is only proper to say
that it has not been a profitable ven
ture for either side. Strikes are ex-
pensive to both parties involved, and
it is to be hoped there will be no re-
currence of another such struggle
for many, many years. Great credit
is due in this instance for the ad-
justment of the differences between
the Hamilton Machine Tool Company
and the local machinists to William
Schoenberg, representative of the
International Association Machinists.
In just four days from the time he
arrived in Hamilton he had the sig
natures of both parties involved to
agreements satisfactory to all con-
cerned. Brother Schoenberg has a
way about him for bringing contest
ants together that is always sure to
bring results, and he surely used
those ways in this case. Brother
schoenberg was thanked by both
sides to the controversy for his inter
cession.

but frightens no one familiar with
past history.
With returning steady employment
the movement as it has in the past,
will go forward with leaps and
bounds until it extends far above the
number it had at the commencement
of this dull period. This process will
keep on repeating itself until prac-
tically all working men and women
are enrolled under the banners of
their respective unions.
At one time there were less than
$4,000 members in what is now the
American Federation of Labor At
the commencement of the last de-
preston there were between 100000
and 100000 organized workers in
this country At the time the next
period of stagnation sets in there
will be 100000 or 100000 OF
more organized workers. Demon
strated facts prove all of this.
Increased membership brings with
it new problems and greater respon-
sibility. This responsibility must be
met and the new problems solved
Our success will be measured by our
ability to meet the issue and the re-
sponsibility. Of the result there is nc
fear, and no misgivings and nc
doubts.
The facts prove that there is nc
room for encouragement or appre-
hension.
No power on earth can destroy the
trade union movement. The workers
themselves cannot destroy it. The
necessity which brought it into being
will keep it alive and constantly
growing. Legislation and oppression
cannot destroy this mighty force for
improvement, and the time is coming

article stated the armory was intend
ed. The article, no doubt, was writ
ten by some irresponsible cub re-
porter who really doesn't know where
of he speaks. The truth of the mat
ter is that Stanley Ogg as seventh
vice president of the Ohio State Fed
Grafton of Labor and member of the
executive board of that body, was in
Columbus in the interest of the old
age pension bill, hearing on which
was to be had before the state legisla-
ture committee. While there Ogg
met several members of the local
American Legion who were there in
the interest of the armory bill be-
cause the armory, if built, will also be
used by the local post of the Ameri-
can Legion. After explaining their
purpose to Ogg and upon invitation
he readily assented to assist in secur-
ing the armory only because of his
interest in anything for the good of
the American Legion. Brother 0gg
did only what most any union man
in the city of Hamilton would gladly
do. Organized labor in Hamilton is
truly friendly to the local American
Legion post, and is always willing to
further its interests. No further ex.
PLANTATION is necessary, and Stanley
Ogg owes no one an apology for his
action in this matter while in Co
lumbus.

miners? Mr.. Nathan's opin-
ion of theatre magnates is
none too complimentary.
1t may be true that the
great stars of established
reputation do not need the
protection the Equity can
provide. The more honor to
them, then, that they are will
ing to aid those weaker than
themselves. Fundamentally,
actors, brakemen, cooks,
everybody who works with
hand or brain, is engaged in
the same struggle-the strug-
gle to attain some of the
comforts and decencies of
life against the selfish desires
of employers whose greed for
profits can never be satisfied.
In that struggle, artists
and artisans must fight shoul-
der to shoulder if they are to
win the victory. When the
actors struck, didn't the stage
hands, electricians, ETC., give
them support? And didn't
the actors win?
Snobbery has no place in
organized labor. And the
Shakespearean interpreter
who is too much of a snOb to
associate with a journeyman
barber in a common cause
would be of little value to
the Equity anyway.

THE "WHY" OF UNIONS

IhE w III OF UNIONS
The trade union movement is as
solid as a rock of adamant. 1t is not
the product of any one mans brain.
1t was not thought out in advance.
1t is neither copyrighted nor pat
ented. 1t grew out of necessity.
The condition of the working
masses in the early days had become
well nigh intolerable. They had
monthly payments for wages and
usually found thmselves at the end
of the month in debt to the foreman
or superintendent of the firm for
which they worked. The work day
was limited by nature The workers
commenced at sunrise and worked
until darkness intervened. The COM
ing of artificial light only added to
their burdens. Instead of being a
comfort it was used to compel them
to work longer hours and the days
work then was limited to human en-
durance Exhaustion closed the work
day. Wages were correspondingly
low.
Living under these adverse condi-
tions with their frightful burden, the
workers first formed crude shop
unions. These embryo efforts grew
into unions of the workers in the
other factories in the town and then
extended to state lines and finally
into national and international
unions.
The necessity which caused the
conception and birth of the union is
just as pressing today as it was then,
and that very necessity will keep the
trade union movement alive
In all former Industrial depres-
sions and periods Of unemployment
the unions have lost in membership
but they always come back Start
ing at any given point if the general
movement had 100000 members at
the commencement of an industrial
depression, it might drop to 100000
but with the return Of prosperity it
would Immediately rebound and go to
100000 or 100000 and SO on.
In the industrial depression and
period of unemployment now draw
ing to a close it is true that the gen
eral trade union movement has lost
some members. This is regrettable

WILL LIVE UP
TO CONTRACTS
Ohio Coal Miners Go on Record
for Strict Observance of
Agreements.
TO HOLD WORKERS IN LINE
Constitutional Amendment Aimed at
"FIoaters," Who Take Employment
In Mines Only When Times Are
Exceptionally Good.

Ohio coal miners went on record as
standing solidly for strict observance
of all contracts entered into between
their union and coal operators.
District No. 6, United Mine Workers
of America, comprising all of Ohio
and portion of West Virginia, adopted
an amendment to the state conStitu-
ton at their convention at Columbus,
expressly providing that no dispute be-
tween any local and Its employers
could be settled until the mine was in
operation.
Adoption of the amendment was re-
garded as a direct criticism Of the
calling of unsanctioned strikes, which
were said to have occurred occasionally
In the state.
The amendment was adopted with
little opposition, only few of the dele
gates from the eastern parts of the
state voting against 1t. The fight for
adoption was led by Frank Ledvinka,
president of Subdistrict No. 5, which
takes In eastern Ohio and portion Of
West Virginia, and who declared that
the only way the union could be fully
successful was by strictly observing
every clause of contracts with opera
tors.
The convention adopted constitu-
tional amendment aimed at ''fioaters"
who work in other industries during
times of depression In the coal fields
and return when prosperity comes to
miners.
Under the amendment. any member
of the union who enters other employ
ment and allows his membership In
the United Mine Workers to lapse,
would pay, In addition to the fee for
new card, a penalty Of $50.
