3s PAGES TO-DAY

The Butler County Press is proud
of its Labor Day issue-the issue of
this week Not because of its size
or the number of pages contained
therein, but because of the confidence
and friendly feeling for organized la
Dor displayed by the advertisers in
the great amount of space subscribed
in the Press of this week, in the
workingman's paper-that is why we
are proud
Very few of the advertisers when
approached refused to subscribe space
in the Labor Day issue of the Press
On the other hand, the advertisers
seemed anxious and pleased for the
opportunity to show their friendly
feeling for the workingman. Speak
ing for the organized workers of
Hamilton, "To have the confidence,
the esteem and good will of the bust
ness and professional men, the manu-
facturers and the employers in gen
eral is much to be proud of and
valued highly"
Many of the local labor unions, by
their generous contributions, assisted
materially in helping to make this
splendid issue of the Press possible.
To them and to all the advertisers
in today's issue the Press extends
its sincere thanks.
The Press would also ask all organ
lied labor and friends to show their
appreciation to the advertisers in this
issue by extending them your patron

TOUGH FOR PETE

Sure was tough luck for Pete
Welsh to let him think he had the
nomination and then tell him other
wise. Many, though they didn't vote
for him, felt sorry for Pete after
they heard of his tough luck. If Pete
had had another crack at it the day
after it was learned he really didn't
win the nomination, in the same mum
Der of votes cast Pete would have won
by several thousand. Sympathy was
that strong for him.

1t is said some of the defeated at
the primary election are talking
loudly of "gettin' even" And this

LABOR SUNDAY

Sunday is Labor Sunday. In many
of the churches the day will be cele-
brated by special reference appropri-
ate to the day by the various minis
ters Labor Sunday has grown to be
an important anniversary in an in
creasingly large number of churches
The observance of Labor Sunday by
trades unionists of America was re-
commended at a convention of the
American Federation Of Labor, the
churches being requested to devote
part of the day to the presentation
of the problems of the workingman.
1t was further resolved that the va
rious central and local labor bodies
be requested to cooperate in every
legitimate way with the ministers,
who would thus observe Labor Sun
day, seeking with them to secure as
large an audience of workingmen and
others as possible.
So go to church at least once next
Sunday If you haven't any church
you call your own, attend any one of
them, you'll sure be welcome and
they are all good

their business agent was brought out
and the members Immediately ordered
that new one be bought. Herman
could have the choice of any car ne
desired, but he picked Ford because
part of it is made and built in Hamll-
ton by Hamilton workmen, and Her.
man is a booster for the old town.
Herman is as proud of his new
wagon" almost as he is of the kid
dies camp. Not because the wagon
is new but at the thought that his
employers think enough of his work
to reward him so handsomely. That
is why he is so proud.
1t certainly does speak well for
the business agents ability and the
service he renders those who employ
him when they without the least hesi-
tation vote him new automobile
when it's need is brought to their
attention. The carpenters evidently
know a good thing when they see 1T
and propose to hold on to it.

KROCER CLERKS
LOCKED OUT
All Employees Who Joined
the Union Discharged

Several weeks ago there was organ
lied in this city a Grocery Clerks
Union. Many Of the employees in the
Kroger stores joined Immediately
following, the local manager began
discharging those who took out
membership in the union When ask
ed his reasons for discharging these
men be gave out that they were in
competent and other lame excuses.
Some of the men have been with the
Kroger Company, it is said, as long
as seven years. If they are incom-
petent, the men hold, it took the man
ager long time to find it out, and
that he is certainly incompetent as
manager.
The sole reason, and the only rea-
son, for the discharge of these men
is that the Kroger Company wants
/ to discourage the men in the Kroger
employ from organizing, fearing per-
haps that the men when thoroughly
organized will ask for decent wages
and working conditions only in
Hamilton but elsewhere.
Mr. John Schultz, second vice pres
ident and organizer for the Retail
! Clerks international Union, is here
in charge of the situation, and is
doing excellent work in directing the
/ fight.
1t must be distinctly understood
that there is no strike of the Kroger
clerks in Hamilton. 1t is a lockout
on the part of the Kroger Company
The men were discharged before they
even had chance to ask for any
thing
The men who are locked out in
Hamilton ask the moral support of all
trade unionists and their friends in
their fight for the right, justly so,
of joining any organization which
they see fit to do. They ask that
all unionists and friends withdraw
their patronage from the Kroger
stores until that company sees fit
to deal justly with their employees.
The following grocery stores in
Hamilton have signed agreements with
Grocery Clerks Union, and the
union clerks ask that organized la
Dor give these stores their patron
age:
Edward Probst's Quality Store, ITO
North Second street; Fred j.
Schneider, Third and Heaton, Dan

DON'T SCAB

All the clerks in the Kroger stores
in Hamilton who exercised their right
to join labor union were discharged
locked out Joining the labor or
ganization is the sole reason for their
discharge despite statements of the
company officials to the contrary.
Every effort by union officials to make
a satisfactory adjustment has been in
vain. The way to make the Kroger
Company see light is for the union
men and women of Hamilton to with
hold patronage in the Kroger store
Don't scab on your fellow workmen
There are plenty of other grocery
stores in the city that are fair, and
many of them have signed agreements
with the local Grocery Clerks Union
Patronize them where possible. Any
way, don't scab.

Have you given yet to the country
store? Never too late to do good,
you know. Especially if you are one
of those who doesn't like to give the
committee lift on Labor Day at
the fair grounds; if you are, dandy
way to square yourself and ease your
conscience is to make nice donation
to the country store. Do it now and
feel better for having done so.

STILL MARCHING ON

Absence Of nationwide strikes and
other spectacular events in the labor
world since Labor Day, 1923, does
not indicate that organized labor is
not progressing. On the contrary,
the fact that organized labor has been
able to devote its energies to strength
ening its position and pushing it's
organization work, instead of defend
ing itself, means that it has made
substantial progress in the twelve
months just ending. AS usual, labor
has been forging ahead and Labor
Day, 1924, marks another big step in
its onward march.
