In his talk to the club in which
he gave an intimate history of the
past five years, Mr.. Harold said:
IF organizations are worth
while, it is right for their birth
days to be remembered, and with
this idea in mind / believe each
member of the Americas Rotary
club will thank Almighty God for
the five years Of good fellowship
we have enjoyed together.
"The question put to myself
and you is, has the club accomp-
lished anything-has it all been
worth while. To me it has meant
everything; it has taught me and
each of my fellow Rotarians to
love his felowman,p said the
speaker SIT has meant the same
to Kiwanians and Lions, and all
of these organizations are quietly
knitting together a friendship for
each other and love for our COM
munity. Rotary has brought each
of us many friendships from other
towns.
81 have come to realize that of all
things in the world, friendship is
the most important, Every club or
society is cemented by friendship.
Men may work together, fight to-
gether, under other bonds, but
they cannot play together without
friendship. Rotary is the joyful,
hopeful acceptance of the Golden
Rule. It's practices lead toward
happiness.
"Then let us in this fair city
of Americas lift up anew the
standard of service, bear aloft the
banner of brotherhood, to the end
that this club shall not have lived
in vain"
S. F. Howell spoke on the sub
ject of "a Continuity of Attend
ance," which he said was the first
of Importance in Rotary. "Men who
can't attend regularly have 70
place in Rotary" he said.
Prof. ]. E. Mathis said that we
celebrate birthdays so that we may
remember that they are one more
mile toward happiness for youth,
and to the older ones, birthdays
bring a remembrance of friendship
past and present, These are days
on which We should take stock,
making an inventory of progress
or mistake, he said.

FRIDAY IS CHILDREN'S
DAY AT SUMTER FAIR
Special Admission of Ten Cents
llowed Children BY Manage
ment on That Day

Friday, Sept. %, will be observ-
ed as Children's day at the Sumter
county fair here, Sept. 1929. This
was decided at a conference of the
fair officials held this morning,
when it was agreed to make a
special admission price for chill
dren on that day of ten cents.
Teachers and school officials, ex-
cept trustees, who accompany the
children, will be admitted to the
fair grounds free on Children's
day.
In order to prevent any confus-
ion on the grounds, the school au-
thorities have decided to order a
holiday in all of the white schools
of the county on Friday, in order
to permit all of the children to at
tend, and Supt. f. w. Duptee asks
that every school faculty urge
every student to attend the fair.
This was decided upon because of
the high educational value of many
of the exhibits which will be
shown there, and to give the chill
dren pleasant outing as well.
The negro schools will be closed
on Thursday, September 81, when
the pupils of these schools will be
permitted to attend the fair I'M
der the same conditions and at the
same admission price as is being
given the white boys and girls Ne
gro teachers, and school officials
will also be admitted free when
accompanying their children to the
fair grounds.
The exhibits in the negro de-
partment now promise to be most
interesting to both races, and the
fair management is especially anx-
ious that as many white people as
possible visit this section of the
fair grounds. Business men anc
farmers, it is asserted, will fine
much to interest them in the ne
gro exhibits, and they are urged
to visit the negro section and by
their example and words encourage
negro residents of the county t.
higher and better efforts in the
community economic struggle.

New York Man Writes Both Ar

Neither is Jealous

MARIETTA, Sept. 13.-Ruth
Webb and Ruby Webb, twins, are
in love. They both love the same
man. And the man, they say
loves both of them.
He can't tell Ruth from Ruby,
Ruby from Ruth. He can't tell
which he wants to marry. When
he makes love to Ruth he can't
tell her from Ruby and when he
makes love to Ruby he's not sure
whether she's Ruby or Ruth.
The question is: Can three live
as cheaply as one?" And if So
where? ts
"We'd both marry him., the
Webb twins say, eff the law would
let us"
He would, too, they say. He's
in New York, and he writes them
regularly. Every time he writes
he has to write two love letters,
one to Ruby and one to Ruth. The
letters are different-not mere
monographs and each is just
exactly as ardent as the other.
No favoritism here!
Buby and Ruth are 81. They're
blondes. They fell in love "at
first sight," You see, they both
saw him at exactly the same mo-
ment. He saw them both at the
same moment. He rubbed his eyes
and looked again. Yes, there were
two of them! From that instant
his perplexity began.

law legalizing polygamy. We've
simply got to marry the same man.
All our lives we've shared every
thing. Why shouldn't we share a
husband?"
Why not, indeed?" says Ruth.

we never quarrel about who's to

happily, and We wouldn't quarrel
over him.

We agree, though, that he's the

Ruby and Ruth say they've even

experimenting with polygamy-
they're SO annoyed with the funny
laws here that put such restric-
tions on matrimony.

ALL PAY DUES

ed one dollar day. If there are ten
months work a year in this indus
try, it means, deducting the Sundays,
that these workers paid dues to the
amount of $3.50 a year in reduced
wages. Two hundred and twenty dol
lars more than they would have paid
the onion.
When non-union workers are sick
there is no organization to look after
them. Ii they are in want they must
look to charity. The boss, to whom
they pay dues, is not concerned with
them when they are off the job. If
activities and measures come UP det-
rimental to the workers the unorgan-
lied can raise only his own feeble
voice in protest. He is like a spar
row chirping against the rush of a
hurricane. Alone, and unbefriended,
he faces his organized oppressors.
Hopeless, helpless and in despair he
leans on the reed of the good will of
the employer. But he pays dues, high
dues, and receives in return wage re-
ductions, longer hours and harder
work He cannot hope that tomor-
rows burdens will be lighter than
today's, and as he weakens with in
creasing age he steps towards the
grave, almost hoping for death to
come to relieve him of his ever-in-
creasing burdens and misery.
As well may workers hope to live
without breathing as without paying
dues. The unionist pays dues that
bring benefits to himself and his fam
lily. The non-unionist pays higher
dues to have the good things of life
kept from him and his loved ones.
But all pay dues.
The non-unionist pays his dues as a
careless farmer might throw his seed
to the winds, letting them blow where
they will, and others reap the har-
vest. The unionist paying his dues
to his union is like a careful hus-
bandman, planting seeds in the soil
of collective endeavor, assured that he
and his shall reap the harvest.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-08-31

Don't be fool and pay dues to
those walking delegates. Hang on to
the money you would pay for dues
and you will be that much ahead"
This is the sage advice employers
give to non-union workers. In many
instances it convinces the unorgan-
ized worker and settles the matter for
him. He goes on his way smiling
with satisfaction that he is not paying
dues, and is saving that much money.
The sad part of it is that he is pay
ing more dues than the union man is
paying, and he is receiving nothing in
return To be sure, he is not paying
dues to the union, but he is paying
dues, higher dues, to the employer.
No worker escapes the payment of
dues. Whether he belongs to an or
ganization or does not, still he pays
dues. If he does not pay them to the
union, he pays them to the employer.
Observe how this dues paying works
out. The unionist pays dues to the
union To place the yearly average
dues to a union at $40 a year is, if
anything, to set high average. In
return he receives higher wages and
shorter hours than the non-union
man. If he is sick, he is not forgotten
by the visiting committee of his or
ganization If he, through misfor-
tune, is in want, he is not left to be-
come the object of charity, he is as
sisted by his organization or group
of organizations. He goes to work
with an independence that prevents
him from shaking in fear that the
boss will be out of sorts when he
arrives in the morning and discharge
him because he does not like his
looks. His union protects him against
that. Through his organization he
has voice of protest or approval of
activities and legislation that affect
him. He is one of an army of mil
lions that encircle the globe.
The non-union worker pays dues to
the boss. He pays it in reduced
wages. In one industry in Mime
apolis, where the workers forsook
their A F. of L. union for company
organization, wages have been reduc-

gone on strike and won without the
help, encouragement and advice of
the organized? NOWHERE!
What have the unorganized ever
done to educate the workers and ele-
vate them mentally? NOTHING!
Is there any advance that has ever
been made by the workers at any
time in the history of the world that
the unorganized have been responsible
for? NO!
What can the unorganized do to
advance the cause of the workers /?
NOTHING!
The unorganized are the mill-stones
around the neck of Progress; they are
the dead weight, the inert, sodden,
inarticulate mass that must be drag
ged up whenever an advance is made,
They are the blind that lead the blind;
they stand in their own light and bite
the hand that feeds them.
They are the bulwark of the cap
italist system; without them it could
not exist, and there would be no army
of unemployed ever ready at hand to
be used as club in the hands of those
who exploit the workers.
The unions may have many faults
and shortcomings. They may some
times fail to accomplish as much as
they should. Strikes may be lost and
the advance of the workers may be
slow, but if these things are true it is
because the organized workers have
many obstacles to overcome; hard
road to travel, and a heavy pack to
carry, all of which is due to the fact
that the unorganized are not organ
lied and because of their failure to
assist and cooperate with those who
are really doing things.
So, after all, what have the unor-
ganized accomplished?
The sum total of their achievements
is NOTHING!
Why talk so much about MOTH

ACHIEVEMENTS OF
THE UNORCANIzED
BY WILLIAM A. LOGAN
In The Auto Worker

Every unorganized worker has one
or more excuses for not belonging to
a union. Organized workers, especial
| ly those who have been active in try
ing to induce others to organize, have
been kept busy knocking down the
straw dummies set up by the non
union worker, who is always offering
some feeble excuse or unfair criticism
as reason for staying unorganized.
When asked to organize, the non
union worker commences to find fault
with the union.
The unions have never done any
thing; they are the cause of strikes
and are always stirring up trouble;
union officers are crooks and graft
ers; the workers never stick together
anyway; the unions are too radical
and are not run right" so on
and so on from Alpha to Omega
The great mass of unorganized
have never done anything but stand
on the side lines and look on while
| the organized workers have been
| making this better world to live in.
They have assumed the role of
critics, always finding fault, never
satisfied with anything, and always
taking the advantages gained by the
toll and sacrifices of the organized
| without even trying to be honest and
give credit to those who are respon-
sible for the creation of better con-
ditions.
What have the unorganized ever
done to shorten the hours of labor :?
NOTHING!
What have the unorganized ever
done to increase the size of pay en-
velopes? NOTHING!
What have the unorganized ever
done to abolish child labor? MOTH
ING!
What have the unorganized ever
done to help enact laws that will pro-
tect the life and limb of the workers
in the various industries? NOTHING!
What have the unorganized ever
done to curb the power of the unjust
and unfair foreman in the shop?
NOTHING!
Where have the unorganized ever
