less beer and are pointed to as Grim
inals. How about the fellows in
Washington, the senators and con-
gressmen who make the laws the To-
cal men are charged with having
broken, the fellows who are known
to possess real booze, and lots of it?
There is no objection, on our part,
to their having the booze, but simply
because a little harmless beer is
found here we don't like to be point
ed out as awful offenders and have it
said that Hamilton is rotten and a
bad town.
Hamilton-a bad town?
Hamilton, in spite of all that some
people say of it and try to make of it
is the best town in America--not eX'
cepting Middletown.

MUST LABOR FIGHT?

A labor exchange, which has reach
ed it's conclusions, no doubt, through
experiences which were necessary in
the earlier stages of unionism's fight
for recognition, declares that "organ-
lied labor must fight" We notice
that a good many spokesmen fo1
unionism are Enthusiastically belli.
gerent. Doubtless they got the habit
of that mood when it was necessary
to force a consideration of labor's
rights by a show of almost brute
strength.
We do not deprecate fight for la
Dor when the situation really calls
for it, and when it will help and not
hurt the cause The masses of or
ganized labor want results rather
than heroics of courage that get the
cause nowhere except III trouble. A
good many thoughtful workers are
now asking whether union labor is
not getting more fights than it needs
to have, more than are good for it,
by so continually showing its hard
fists and its loaded weapons to those
from whom it would win concessions
that are important to its welfare.
A good many are asking whether
organized labor could not, after all,
do more for itself at this stage of the
game by showing a less warlike spirit
and giving little more attention to
the arts Of peaceful persuasion. Sup
pose, for instance, union labor, in
stead of issuing peremptory demands,
accompanied by rough threats, should
proceed to prove in an enlightened and
peaceful way such as others in other
lines of propaganda use so effectively,
that the program it proposes is in the
end best for capital as we'll as labor
The fighting could come later on if

WHAT IF HE WAS POOR?

John Kearsley Mitchell, the 'Mr.
Marshall" in the Dorothy keenan,
murder case, can certainly thank his
lucky star that he is wealthy and has
big pull. What with the finding of
his pajamas and big ball of cotton
in his umbrella in the vestibule of the
girls department, and the fact that
he was the last to be seen with her
alive, if he were poor working man,
wouldn't he have a devil of lot of
explaining to do instead of having the
district attorney assuring the public
that the murder was committed by a
blackmailer?

is certain number of columns to
be filled every day, and outside "ser-
vice" is bought to fill these columns.
There is one honest news service in
the country; if there are two, we are
luckier than informed persons now
believe. just now you are reading
daily screeds about the "labor short
age" in this country. The papers tell
us that the shortage of men is so
great that the industries of the coun-
try are endangered AS newspaper
reader, clip out all such articles and
see if they bear any clue of respon-
sible source See if a name is at
tached to them. And then look
around the streets of your city, look
over the farm districts, and see if it
is true that there is labor short
age" 1t is a matter which can be
decided by common observation on the
streets, or by common acquaintance
with the situation of the city dwell
ers and the farmers. The motive be-
hind the daily injection of this false
idea is palpable. As to shortage of
skilled labor" that is due to an indus
tria system which has been built up
by unskilled labor and has made no
provision for the training of skilled
labor for the future. Unrestricted
immigration will not supply skilled
/, labor, and of the kind of labor that
unrestricted immigration could sup
ply, we already have enough, This
is not to say that the United States
cannot support more people. The
United States can support many times
its present population. But not un.
der the system which now dominates
its present population"

FORTY-HOUR
Work Week Means Longer
Life to Painters, Sta
tistics Show

New York.-Organized painters in
this district are proving by statistics
and the experience of medical men
that the fve-day week lengthens the
lives of these workers. The painters
are maintaining health bureau. 1t
is equipped with scientific apparatus.
1t is in charge of recognized medical
men and technicians In a booklet
issued by the bureau it is shown that
the average life of painters is 46
years, or Is years less than the gen
eral population.
Every material that the painter
handles is loaded with poison which
results in disease. These poisons in
clude lead, turpentine, naphtha and
wood alcohol. The deadliest, how
ever, is benzole, which takes but a
very small amount to kill man.
The booklet states that "two or three
parts of benzole to 100000 parts of
air, breathed for a few hours, may
cause loss of consciousness. Because
of its cheapness, benzole has flooded
the market and is being used with
more frequency by painting contract
ors.
Another terror to painters is ane-
mia. Hardening of the arteries is an
old-age disease which affects the
painter in early years, making him
wreck when he should be in the
prime of manhood.
''The difference between the 40-hour
week and the 44-hour week for paint
ers decreases the hours of exposure
of poisonous dusts and fumes by 8
per cent" the booklet states. "These
four hours away from work increases
the resistance of the body against
disease by providing time for rest. "

SUGAR KINGS
Made to DisgOrge By Ex-
plotted Workers

San Juan, Porto Rico-Agricultur
al workers in several cities and towns
secured higher wages and have return
ed to work after a strike of several
weeks. The unions asked for So a
day. They have secured $1.05, in
stead of the rs cents that they for
merly received.
With sugar selling at $3.50 the
sugar interests of this island could
pay So day and make millions of
profits, declared Santiago Iglesias,
member of the Porto Rican senate
and president of the Free Federation
of Workingmen, affiliated with the
A. F. of L.
In a letter to the island executive,
President Iglesias called attention to
the refusal of several large sugar
corporations that have refused to
even discuss wages with the workers
representatives.
These corporations have repeatedly
violated the law, said the trade
unionist. Some of them are holding
land in excess of the amount that
corporations may legally hold. Presi-
dent Iglesias said they are not salts
fled with this violation, but they use
the police force to suppress the right
to strike, the right to peacefully as
semble and the right to parade. They
not only use the police force to hunt
strikebreakers but compel the police
men to work
workers are accorded almost saw
age treatment by these employers,
overseers and police" said Iglesias.
"They are compelled to buy their food
at certain stores. They are heart
lessly exploited, their children die for
lack Of nourishment, and their wo-
men are humiliated and corrupted"

SIMPLIFYING COURT ACTION

SIMPL1E iNO OOORi aSiIoAN
In another column of this issue of
the Press will be found letter by
Attorney Allen Andrews in which he
urges the public to take kindly to the
Collister bill, now pending in the leg
islature, and which provides for a
judicial council, to be made up of
Judges of the various state, district
and county courts, for the purpose of
studying the organization, rules,
methods of practice of the judicial
system of the state, and to devise
and recommend simpler and more
expeditions method of disposing of
cases in court.
In other words, the purpose of the
| bill is to get quicker action in court
so that a man isn't old and gray be-
/ lore seeing tIS emu VI q case DlOuS ~
to court in young manhood.
AS Mr. Andrews in his letter says,
the creation of the proposed council
will impose no expense as the mem
bers are to serve without compensa-
ton, so what harm can come from
the bills passage, and at the same
time much good may come from it.
The Press believes it would be well
to pass the bill and would advise
the public to urge our representatives
in the house and senate to vote for
it and lend it their every support.

HAMILTON-A BAD TOWN?
Hamilton was raided last week by
federal and state prohibition agents.
A few cafe proprietors We're arrested,
some dragged to Cincinnati and some
hustled to Squire Shuler's. Practic-
ally all are charged with selling and
possessing liquor illegally. About all
the evidence secured was bum grade
of beer and in some cases home brew
at that Of course the men are law
breakers; that is, if we are going
strictly according to the laws created
at Washington. The federal chiefs
say that Hamilton is one of the wild
est open towns in the country, and
are pointing to Hamilton as a hor-
rible example The local offenders
were found to possess a little harm
