Mansfield to Have
New Daily Paper

Mansfield, O.-This city is to have
a new daily paper. The owners OF
the Mansfield News have had a mo-
nopoly on the newspaper business in
that city for several years. About IL
months ago the present management
notified the printers employed in that
plant the shop would cease to recog-
nize their union or union conditions
but on the other hand run an "oper
shop" The boys were forced to leave
their positions. The management has
continued to run an unfair shop.
Now, according to information, Mr.
HOLES, it's owner, will have cause fol
some uneasiness. A new paper
which has the good will and backing
of at least 90 per cent of the people
and merchants in Richland county
has been incorporated under the
name of the Mansfield Daily Journal
and is capitalized at 100000. 1t is
being promoted by members of the
printers union of Mansfield. Pre-
ferred stock is being offered to unions
of that craft throughout the state ano
elsewhere as we'll as to individuals
and is selling rapidly.
The exact date for the initial issue
has not as yet been announced, but
plans are we'll under way and the sue
cess of the venture is assured.

HOW ABOUT CHILD LABOR?

Half of the child workers between
IA and Is years of age in the United
States are unprotected by law. Half
of the factories of the country are
working their employees longer than
48 hours a week. These are some of
the points brought out by report of
the employers National Industrial
Conference board, New York. The
report states in part:
"Thirty-five states and the District
of Columbia have fixed an 8-hour day
as the maximum for children, while
in Virginia "A hours is their maxi
mum work week. In 19 states the
weekly period is shortened so that
children may attend part-time school,
and in a few such cases the working
week for children under 16 is only
40 hours during the school year.
"The workday for women is held
down to hours by law in only 8
states. Fourteen permit 9 hour day
and in 18 states 10 hours or more are
permitted. Although the customary
legal limit of work for men is
hours day, in special occupations 1t
is set at hours"
In agriculture which has 46,6 per-
cent of all working children, accord
ing to the report, there is no legal
protection. Nor are the many chill
dren in domestic service safeguarded
bV law

Pullman Carmen
Still on Strike

Chicago-The strike of over five
hundred car-builders employed by the
Pullman Company, which is now four
weeks old, is a strike against the
speed-up, piece work system, some
times called the Taylor system. Off
cials and directors of the Pullman
Company, including J. P. Morgan,
Harold S. Vanderbilt, E. F. Carry, A.
O. Choate, Chauncy Keep, George
Baker, John ]. Mitchell, ]. A. Spoor,
G. F. Balser, w. Seward Webb and
others, are also large stockholders in
the railroad and steel industries,
which have extensive shops in south
Chicago on into Gary.
John Holmgren, vice-president of
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen, de-
clares the Pullman Company, because
of it's long anti-union record, has been
selected to start a general wage re-
duction on the entire steel and rail-
road-shop industries. Six weeks be-
fore the present strike the carbuilders
in the 10th Street Pullman plant suf-
fered a wage reduction averaging 20
per cent.
The Pullman company in its pres
ent strike has been true to its labor
smashing history in trying to break
the ranks of the strikers. Men who
were tricked into coming to Pullman
by newspaper ads, swear the Pullman
representatives assured them there
was no strike and no labor trouble of
any kind. The strike pickets have
turned away over five thousand men
from Detroit, Albany, Buffalo, Cleve-
land Columbus. Cincinnati. Dayen-
port and St. Louis.
The average daily output of the
Pullman company is four completed
cars per day. Since April IA, the day
of the strike started, not one car has
been completed in the Pullman works.
The strike has tied up the plant for
the first time since 1894. Railroad
companies are canceling their orders.
After this strike is over the Broth
erhood of Railway Carmen will try to
enforce the eight-hour day, and other
union conditions in the Pullman plant
here and in Michigan City, Indiana.

THE TRAMP" FREIGHT CAR

Western producers have opened
war on the tramp freight carr and
the "food scalper" The TRAMP carr
is loaded with food and started out at
random by the shipper with the ex-
pectation of reconsigning before its
destination is reached. A "food
scalper" is one who makes use of the
wandering freight car to rob the pro-
ducer and heighten costs to the con-
sumer.
A meeting of producers and ship
pers was held at Omaha last week.
G.. G. Williams, Of Greeley, Colo, a
potato grower, told the conference
that nine carloads of his potatoes
were shipped and re-shipped so many
times before final sale that he re-
ceived only 6 cents in stamps for the
entire shipment.
R. E. Shepherd, of Jerome, Idaho,
declared that while the problem Of the
tramp car" is primarily one for the
producer and consumer, the railroads
should realize that the obligation is
on them to correct the evil.
The Western producers at the meet
ing agreed that unless prompt means
were devised for orderly marketing
through cooperation of the producer,
commission man and the railroad, a
strong effort would be made through
Congress and State legislatures to re-
vive the licensing system that was in
effect during the war.

All Records Broken
In Steel Profits

New York In the first three
months of this year the steel trust re-
ports net profit of more than $780,
100000. This is the largest net of
any peace-time quarter in the trusts
history. In March of this year profits
totaled $19,065,475. This is at the
rate of more than $57,000,000 for the
quarter. These profits are after the
trust set aside $13,274,973 for depre-
citation.
This latest report is the clearest
refutation of the judgment of trust
officials who predicted disaster to this
industry if the long work day were
abandoned.
Instead, the steel trust is enjoying
most prosperous times. The same
condition exists in other steel corpor-
ations. The Bethlehem steel corpora
ton disposed of $30,000,000 six per
cent gold bonds last week without
placing them on the market This
company is the largest of the social
ed Independents and controls the
Lackawanna, the Midvale and Cam
bria steel companies.

UNITED WE STAND"

Said a wise old bee at the close OF
the day, "This colony business doesn't
pay. put my honey in that old hive
that others may eat and live and
thrive; and | do more work in a day
by gee, than some of the fellows dc
in three. l toll and worry and save
and hoard and all | get is my room
and board. It's me for the sweets OF
my hard earned pelf." So the old bee
flew to the meadow lone and started
a business of his own. He gave nc
thought to the buzzing clan, but all
intent On his selfish plan he lived The
life of the hermit free-"Ah, this is
great" said the wise old bee. But the
summer waned and the days grew
clear, and the lone bee walled as he
dropped tear; for the varmint COB
bled his little store and his wax play
ed out and his heart was sore, so he
winged his way to the old home band
and took his meals at the helpin
hand. Alone, our work is of little
worth; together, we are the lords of
the earth; so it's all for each and each
for all-united stand, or>divided fall

"The problems of the farmer are in
reality the problems of all of US. The
future prosperity of everyone is de-
pendent largely upon his prosper
ity. If these engaged in agriculture
are allowed only mere subsistence
which the majority of farmers are
not even obtaining, and a condition
of permanent agricultural decay pre-
walls the very foundation of our gov
ernment structure will crumble."-

PRIZE FIGHTER is HIRED
FOR LONDON OPERA ROLE
Expert Necessary to Land Left Jab
on BaSSo'S Jaw in Time
With Music.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, October 4.-Londoners
who have just finished reading
novel by Queen Marie of Rumania,
syndicated in the daily newspapers,
and who have grown accustomed to
hearing of motion picture offers to
ex-royalties sojourning in England
after revolutions have toppled them
from their thrones, will presently
have a new thrill.
prize fighter has been engaged to
aid in staging grand opera. The pro-
ducer of an operate piece in which
fight is done to music found himself
in difficulties in trying to dovetail the
action with the score, it being essen
tial that the blows and the beginning
of the round coincide with the music.
Finally, after dramatic critic at
the performance found fault with the
manner in which the Welsh tenor
middleweight landed straight left
on the jaw of the Australian bass
heavyweight, the producer called in a
professional fighter. He already re-
ports great progress with the opera
singer-fighters, and promises that the
next performance will be knockout.
