ALWAYS DEMAND FOR BIBLE
Sacred Book Continues to Be the
Most Sought After Of Any in
the World.

That ancient book which, even
among what have been regarded as
the more backward peoples Of the
present century, Is regarded as the
keystone Of the civilization Of the
western world. Is today the most
sought after and the most generally
read Of any book ever published. re-
marks the Christian Science Monitor.
1t Is encouraging that even with the

to have suffered as Z. result Of the

Employers Liable
Is Court Ruling

Washington.-The United States
supreme court has held that under
workmen's compensation laws en-
ployers are liable for injury or death
OF employees while en- route to and
from work.
The fact that such injury may take
place few minutes before or after
the fixed hours of employment does
not relieve the employer of respensi-
bility, the court said.
The case came from Utah. That
supreme court and the Utah indus
trial commission upheld compensation
to the widow of a packing plant en-
ploye who was killed while on his way
to work. The company contested the
award, claiming lack of responsibility
on the grounds that the employe was
killed in crossing accident, neither
the conveyance, the locomotive nor
the premises being the property or
under the control of the company.

Egg Dealers Are
Given Sentence

Dayton, O.-Three hundred and
twenty-five dollars for several thou
sand.
That is the trade made several days
ago by Justice. And as usual, the
"peepul" were the goat.
Five retailers and four wholesalers
were charged in police court with sell
ing cold-storage eggs for strictly
fresh hen fruit. They were found
guilty. The retailers were fined $25
and costs each, and the wholesale
dealers were fined $50 each.
1t is unnecessary to point out that
the fines were paid out of the differ
ence between cold-storage and fresh
egg prices. While, of course, there
is no way of ascertaining how many
citizens paid for fresh eggs and re-
ceived eggs with history, the odds
are big that the difference in price
would have permitted for much larger
fines without the dealers having tt
reach down in their pockets.

State Protection
Of Aliens Urged

New York.-"With all the educa-
ton in the world you can not make
good Americans out of aliens who
have been disillusioned and embitter-
ed," said State Industrial Commits
sioner Shientag in suggesting the Gre
alton of an advisory council to pro-
tect aliens.
A state legislative committee has
uncovered methods by which aliens
are wronged. They are fleeced by
swindlers and are robbed in labor
camps, employment agencies and by
steamship agents.
"The problem Of how to deal with
our immigrants, of how to protect
them against fraud and exploitation,
is as difficult as it is important" said
the commissioner. "Our own citizens,
many of them highly educated, lose
millions of dollars every year as the
result of stock and land swindlers
alone. 1t is apparent therefore, that
the immigrant, helpless and ignorant
of our ways and language, is subject
to even greater exploitation"

is easily possible.
Protection and promotion of their
rights and interests and proper par
ticipation of the workers in the af-
fairs of industry makes organization
necessary. The proper conduct of in
dustry, the proper safeguarding of
the rights and interests of the toilers
the proper and necessary stabilizing of
industry, make organization of first
importance to labor and to employers
as well.
We live in an age of collective eff
fort. Nowhere does the individual

Working together, it is necessary to
organize so as to plan together, to
function properly in every direction
to make life better and to make un-
dustry better.
Every wage Garner ought to join
the trade union of his trade or calling
and every trade union member ought
to be an organizer.
The year 1924 will bring its re-
wards, but it also will bring its OBJ
legations and duties.
Let us all, as trade unionists, dc
our utmost to make our movement g
credit and a constructive force in So
ciety. If we are good trade unionists
we shall be good citizens of our Re-
public and America will be the better
for our efforts.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1923-12-21

The year 1924 brings great tasks to
the trade unionists of America.
The year just closed has placed our
movement in a position of strength
and solidarity that fits it for the
tasks that lie ahead.
In 1928 our country measurably re-
covered from the period of depression
and the fight of the so-called open
shoppers and wage cutters practically
came to an end. 1t lost its driving
power.
Ahead of US in the immediate fu-
ture is a national political campaign.
Ahead of US also is a great general
campaign of organization, reaching
into every field of activity.
The enemies of our government say
that we are not in politics. The fact
is that we are in politics to the limit,
determined to make our influence felt
for progress and human freedom.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
every trade unionist take an active
part in the campaign now opening. 1t
is important to see that trade union
lists participate in the nomination of
candidates and also in the selection
of political convention delegates.
1t is important that labor should
participate where nominations are
made and where platforms are formu-
lated.
The American Federation of Labor
national non-partisan political cam
paign will this year be conducted on
broader and more energetic lines than
ever before. Labor's effectiveness
must extend into every precinct in
America-and with the cooperation
of the great farming population this
will be accomplished.
On the industrial field the organ
ization of the wage earners is always
our first and primary task. Our con-
vention has ordered a number of spe-
cial organizing campaigns and these

Many Ohio Mayors
Under indictment

Columbus, o. Some interesting
news is coming out Of the meeting of
examiners of the Ohio bureau of ac-
counting, now in session in Columbus.
1t is shown that II Ohio mayors
are under indictment for extortion
in connection with the enforcement
of dry laws.
During the year 21 enforcement
officers" of various kinds have been
killed.
The vast majority of the "kanga-
rec courts" are illegal, being operated
solely for the purposes of enriching
the magistrates and constables, as in
only a few cases has the Miller law
been complied with.
Altogether, the accountants are
giving out some interesting news.

NEWARK C. OF C. NOT IDLE

The Newark Chamber of Commerce
has, after many months of hard
earnest work, secured an improve
ment which will be of great and last
ing benefit to Newark and surround
ing territory.
The highway from Newark to
Coshocton, via Frazeysburg and Trim
way, has for some time been COM
pleted as far as the Licking county
line, but the officials of the neighbor-
ing county have refused to do their
portion of the work. So the Chamber
of Commerce took hold of the matter
with the result that Gov. Donahey
has approved of the decision of the
State Highway Commission to build
the remaining portion of the highway
at it's own expense, as the proposed
road has been declared a state mar
ket highway.
This means that a good deal of the
traffic will be diverted from the Ma
tional highway through Newark. The
work will be commenced and pushed
to completion at the earliest possible
date.
Don't forget that the credit of Sc
curing this new feeder for Newark
is due to the body which has already
accomplished so much for the city's
benefit.

HfRDED SLAVES
WHAT PROPOSED ALIEN REGIS
TRATION LAW MEANS
1t Would Furnish a "Super Blacklist"
Prepared at Government Ex-
pense for Benefit of Open
Shoppers and Strike
Busters

Washington.-Since President Cool
ldge's message to Congress, the
Burns and Daugherty scheme to make
scab-herded slaves of all alien work
ers in the U. S. have revealed itself
as straight-out administration mea-
sure. The elaborate proposals for
registering and fingerprinting aliens
are shown to be no mere private af-
fair of Burns and his gang, but some
thing much deeper. The entire Cool
idge machine is behind it. This means
that determined effort is to be
made during this session of Congress
to enact the plan into law.
President Coolidge declared in his
message that 1--WE should find addi-
tional safety in a law requiring the
immediate registration Of all Aliens"
AS there is now a bill before the
House TO Representatives providing
for such registration, the Presidents
unqualified statement may be taken
as an endorsement of it. This is the
Johnson bill, already virtually en-
dorsed by the Federal Department Of
Labor.
The Johnson bill provides for pun
ishment up to five years in prison
for any alien who shall fail to regis
ter with the authorities every year,
giving his name, sex, race, national
ity, date and place TO birth, age, res
ldence, marital status and occupation.
Aliens are also required to be photo
graphed, and to furnish "such infor-
nation as the Secretary of Labor may
by regulation prescribe" For all
this, "the foreigners" are to be taxed
$500 year at the time of registra-
ton.
Characterizing the bill as "a super
blacklist" the Butte Bulletin points
out that its passage would be severe
blow to the labor movement in gen
eral. With the instruments for eff
fective intimidation placed in the
hands of the police agencies control
led by the employers, strikes could
be broken with the greatest ease.
What more would be needed than
nationwide blacklist of alien wage
earners prepared at government ex-
pense? The trade unions have a
high percentage of foreign born
workers in their ranks, particularly
unions like the United Mine Workers
of America, which operate in basic in
dustries.

which could be bought right here in

they pay for them elsewhere. Not

the working people, but large num-
bers of business and professional men
do likewise.

our notice, some of which have been
mentioned in this column, where peo
pie from out of town have made ex
tensive purchases here and saved con-
siderable money by so doing.
The more business done in any COM

let US all resolve to start the new

spend our hard earned cash right
here among our own people who stand
behind what they sell and are ever
