CONTROL In
WRONG HANDS

The sooner labor learns that in
order to solve its problems sufficient
control must be secured to swing
things for labor the sooner will la
Dor be in position to do things.
Just as long as comparatively
few financiers are permitted to de-
termine when industries shall be per
mitted to operate and on what con-
ditions labor shall be employed in
such industries, just this long will
labor continue to get the worst of it.
At the present time a group of such
financiers have decreed that building
operations must cease to be conducted
on a union basis and are going to
extreme lengths to compel the con-
tractors and retail dealers who are
factors in building operations to help
the fnanciers in the background to
put their program over.
1t is well that they have done Just
what they have done, for by so doing
they have demonstrated to what
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-08-31

foolish question is to be found in the
semi-organized fields of industry.
Men and women who carried union
card for a few months will say: |
belonged to the union once, but it
never did anything for me!
They can never understand that
the union is merely means to an
end, that unionism is the voice of the
aspirations of the working people and
that this voice will be strong or weak
in a given industry according to the
strength or weakness of the union.
Usually, it is the case of where the
union workers are in the minority in
the partly organized trades, and is it
not fair then to ask: Why blame the
minority for trying to do something
that is worth while, in spite of the
majority being either hostile or in
different?
The non-unionists have kept down
wages, have permitted long hours,
have lowered the standard of living,
and for these things it is the ma
iority and not the minority that
should be blamed.
The labor union is the machinery,
but it is the membership which fur
nishes the power to move the ma
chinery. If the non-union majority
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-08-31

Sanitary conditions afoat and
ashore are the result of trade union
effort The present generation knows
but little about the bitter fights put
up by organized labor in the past to
get proper health laws passed. They
enjoy better surroundings that are
the direct result of the labor move
ment, yet they will ask: What has
the union ever done for me?
The workers in organized trades
enjoy all the benefits that have ac-
crued through years of sacrifice by
those who preceded them. They take
it as matter of right that they
should enjoy these conditions while
they ask: What has the labor union
ever done for me?
The same situation applies with re-
spect to countless other labor laws
promoted and carried to successful
conclusion by the labor movement,
but all of this is lost sight of by the
selfish one who asks: What has the
union ever done for me?
The most absurd illustration of this
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-08-31
THE UNION AND "ME"

Certain curious types of mankind,
who claim to be intelligent, viii ask
from time to time in pollparrot fash
ion: What did the union ever do for
me?
They might as well ask: What has
civilization ever done for them, or
what has organized society ever done
for them?
These same workers laud the pub
lie school system, but if you told them
that they owed their education to
the labor movement they would pooh
pooh the idea, yet it was the labor
movement that fought the private
school system and brought about free
education by making it the duty of
the state to educate the children of
the nation.
Workers who now enjoy the shorter
workday would consider it preposter-
Gus to be compelled to work from
sunrise until sunset. 1t was the labor
movement that reduced the standard
work day, yet people will ask: What
has the union ever done for me?
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-08-31

lengths they are willing to go when
they can put it over. Knowing this
labor can now proceed to devise ways
and means to secure the control now
permitted to remain in the hands of
handful of money-mad spectators
who are making it clear that they are
wholly unfit to be trusted with the
welfare of the masses of our people
for the reason that tehir sole ambi-
tion is to gouge us to the limit in
order to attaon the greatest possible
financial gain for themselves.
Poverty, misery, suffering and seven
million unemployed trail in the wake
of the control of the few who today
are the dictators of industrial condi-
tions, and were it not for the exist
ence of the labor unions that are on
the job day and night these condi-
tions would be far worse than they
are.
The crying need of today is re-
duction of the hours of labor to a
point where everybody desiring to
work may have that opportunity.
Those in control today are raising
all the rumpus they can to lengthen
hours of labor and increase the army
of unemployed.
In order to change this situation
labor must attain enough control to
put an end to unemployment by re-
ducing hours sufficiently to ems BILE
all to secure employment who need
and want to work to earn living.

THE UNION MAN

| have Travelled Ger the ocean,

And have crossed Sahara desert,
Seen the spice fields, oh, so sweet.
On the far off plains of India
And the islands of the sea
With their customs so peculiar,
They astonish even me.
But I've found by observation,
AS I've travelled Ger the land,
The bulwark of our nation,
Is the noble Union Man.

That will prattle at his knee,
He's man that stands for freedom,
Home and flag and liberty.

AS he spends his money right.
