BRICADIER GENERAL
 SAWYER, HARDING'S
 PHYSICIAN IS DEAD
HARDING'S DEATH INDIRECTLY CAUSED DEATH OF THE
 NOTED PHYSICIAN

MARION, Ohio, Sept 24.-Brigadier General Charles E. Sawyer, former physician for the late President Hard ing and family, passed away sudden ly today, just after he had returned from Mr. Harding's office where he had gone on an interview with Mrs. Harding. Dr. Sawyer had not been feeling well since the death of Mir. Harding and his death was brought about indirectly by the shock atten- dant upon the passing away of the late President.
 Charles E. Sawyer was born in Ne vada, Ohio, June A, 1860, being 64 years of age at the time of his death. He was educated in the public schools of Ohio, receiving his degree of Doc tor of Medicine in the Ohio State University. He first began his prac- tice at La Rue Ohio, where he estab- lished the Sawyer Sanitorium an in stitution state wide in it's scope He removed to Marion in 1893, where he continued his sanitorium, acting as general manager and consulting phy- sician. He was director in several state banks as we'll as president of the Ohio Medical association, presi- dent of the State Homeopathic asso- citation, a fellow of the American Col lege of Surgeons, and held other high offices. Upon the election of Warren c. Harding to the presidency, Dr. Sawyer, who was a life long friend of the family, removed to Washington as family physician following the for tunes of the late president until his death at San Francisco.
 Of late years, Dr. Sawyer had lived on White Oaks farm, near Marion, discontinuing his practice save as for Mrs. Harding and Hard ing's father.

THE CITY'S CLEANUP

How about the general cleanup days
for the city this spring? Isn't there
to be any? OF course every one well
knows the city is pretty well broke
financially and that there are no funds
in the treasury that can very well be
used for this special purpose, but it is
also true that the same situation ex-
isted for several years past but some
how former Service Director Mason
begged and borrowed money and
trucks enough during those years to
give the city at least one good cleanup
and had things in good shape for
the expected hot weather. How about
doing it again? Unless something is
done along this line and with hot
weather coming on, there is going to
be big job on for the health depart
ment. Let's beat disease to>it!

PRINTERS STRIKE

ceipts Report Shows

indianapolis, Ind.-Evidence that
the disappearance Of the union label
from the publications of the Crowell
Publishing Company, Of Springfield,
Ohio, has injured their circulations is
offered in the postal receipts report
from Springfield in the month Of Feb
ruary, it is pointed out at headquar-
ters of the International Typograph-i
ical Union here.
Second class mail receipts dropped
$10,094.49 from the previous months
total, according to the report Of POST
master j. M. Collins. The postmaster
attributed the loss to decreased ship
ments from the Crowell Company,
where lockout Of union printers oc-
Cured several months ago.
Considering the cheapness Of Sec
ond class mail rates, which are al
lowed only to publications of general
circulation, it may be seen that the
magazines in question must have suf-
fered very considerable circulation
losses. The Typographical Union Lo-
cal Of Springfield has been carrying
on a strenuous campaign against the
company since the lockout began, and
union workers throughout the United
States have rallied to their aid loyalty.
It is predicted that heavier losses for
the Crowell Company are in store as
the campaign gains headway.
Publications Of the company in
clude: The Womah's Home Compan-
ion, the American Magazine, Farm
and Preside, and the Mentor.
It is apparent that the typoeraph-

been ceaselessly at work, gaining
steadily as public vigilance relaxed.
In recent years, the looters have made
big gains, as the Teapot Dome and
other scandals only too clearly reveal.
In protecting the resources of the
people, there is only one thing to do:
never forget that the looters and
grafters work both day and night and
that the people must be always wide
awake if they are to save their oil,
mineral and lumber reserves. "Con-
slant vigilance is the price Of safety"

TRADE UNIONS MUST
OBSERVE OWN LAWS


The foundation of civilization is law.
There must be recognized law both in
the state and in the nation. Our
nation could not continue to function
and civilization would be driven from
our country were it not for the fact
that we have laws protecting the inno-
cent from the brutal dictation Of those
who do not believe in or abide by
our laws; men who have no conscience,
who are born with brains that lean
towards wrong doing and evil.
It is just the same with an organi-
cation of labor-it must have laws to
govern it and those laws must be
observed after they are made, other
wise there would be stability in the
organization. The individual member
within local that defies the vote and
action Of his local deserves and should
be disciplined and punished. The To-
cal union that defies the laws made by
the convention of the international
union under which it is chartered, has
| no place within the great labor move
ment Of our country. If man breaks
his contract with the union he is worse
than the employer who breaks the
contract solemnly entered into with
| his employes.-Daniel Tobin, -Presi

SHORTER WORK DAY WINS

Steel records continue to confound
alleged wise men in this industry who
prophesied disaster if the II and 12
hour day was abandoned.
The long workday was scared into
the public conscience by the nation
wide steel strike. This caused Judge
Gary to utter the profound statement
that reduction Of hours would wreck
the steel industry, "and we do not
favor this" the wise man averred.
Iron Age, spokesman for the steel
trust and leading opponent of the
shorter workday, now states that Of
fetal figures will probably show that
the steel trusts March output equal
led that of last year when the peak
for 1923 was reached with an annual
rate Of 100000 tons. Last years
record was made under the long work
day, and now Iron Age acknowledges
that this record has been duplicated
under the shorter workday.
It is estimated that the trusts
earnings for the first quarter of 1924
will exceed any since the first quarter

NEED FOR QUICK ACTION
Figures recently issued by the chill
dren's bureau Of the United States
department Of labor emphasize the
necessity for quick action on the child
labor amendment now before congress.
The report indicates that child labor
is on the increase, and confirms the
results Of previous Investigations.
According to the bureau, of 81 cities
furnishing statistics of employment
certificate issuance in 1928, 20 re-
ported an increase in the number OF
children under 16 entering regular
employment for the first time during
the calendar year 1928 as compared
with 1922. In these "a cities the
number of IA and 15-year-old children
receiving first regular employment
certificates was 1856 in 1922, and
90,166 in 1928.
In 19 of the cities reporting there
was an increase Of at least 20 per
cent, and in the increase was ap-
proximately so per cent or more.
!, In view of the alarming increase of
child labor, there is no excuse for
congress delaying favorable action on
| the child labor amendment. Now is
the time for. every man and woman
opposed to the exploitation of chill
dren to let congress know that the
nation demands an end of child slav-
cry in mill, mine and factory.
