KROCER LOCKOUT
Settled Satisfactory to All
Concerned Clerks to Be
Re-instated

The lockout of the clreks in the
local Kroger grocery and meat stores
which has been on for. nearly ten
weeks, has been satisfactorily adj
justed Both sides to the controversy
are agreed. The Kroger Company
has agreed to re-instate all the en-
ployes who were locked out without
discrimination. The older clerks are
not to lose their seniority. The union
clerks are permitted to retain their
membership in their organization
Much credit is due Stanley Ogg, gen.
eral organizer for the A. F. of L..
in this district, and John Schultz
second vice president Of the Interna-
tional Association of Retail Clerks
for bringing about satisfactory ad-
justment of the controversy.
The clerks who were locked out fol
ten weeks are deserving of much
credit for the manner in which they
"stuck." Though out of employment
for ten weeks, and with offers o.
their jobs back, the clerks stood firm
for what they believed was right anC
just. It was intimated by one Of th'
high officials in the Kroger Compan!
that some of the local bosses over

AND WHERE WAS KELLY?

Where was Mayor Kelly last Sat-
urday afternoon when the health
board went through with it's creased
program of discharging Miss Shuler,
clerk of the board, and elected Christ
Holdefer to fill her place? This is
the question asked ON all sides. He
knew what was going to take place
because everybody knew of it. Even
if it wasn't an open secret is there
anyone to believe that Mayor Kelly
didn't know the slate was fixed up :?
And if he knew of it does he approve
of such work on the part of a board,
whose majority members he appoint
ed? If he doesn't approve of such
actions, why didn't he appear and
protest? His honor knew, and his
honor approved. His absence is proof
of it. His honor might also learn
that some people have long memories.

PEANUT POLITICS
No action of any Hamilton city
board was ever more whole -heartedly
condemned as is that of the city
health board in discharging Miss
Ema Shuler, clerk of the board. The
excuse that Miss Shuler's discharge
was because Of ineffciency and not
reporting on time at the office Of the
board in the morning is sheer rot.
MISS Snulef was discharged because
she gained the enmity of a member
of the board in refusing to carry out
one of the orders of that member
after being instructed otherwise by
Mayor Howard Kelly, who appointed
the majority members of the board.
The discharge of Miss Shuler was
very distasteful to organized labor,
and her successor appointed is con-
sidered a direct slap at organized la
Dor. The first because Miss Shuler's
worth as clerk of the board is well
known to union men with whom she
worked untiringly, night and day,
this past summer, for the success of
the kiddies' camp. The second be-
cause the successor to Miss Shuler
was member of the jury that con-
victed striking workers charged with
rioting six years ago and sent them
to the Cincinnati workhouse.
The Press doesn't want to take q
