THE POINT
People Are Entitled to Vote
on Electric Contract
Allen Andrews
January IL, 1924.
COMMUNICATION

There is pending for consideration
by all persons concerned a contract
or proposition to contract whereby
the city of Hamilton is to purchase
from the Union Gas & Electric Com
pany the electricity for the city and
its citizens, and whereby at the same
time the city sells to this private cor
poration its polls and wires and
equipments for distributing the cleo
tricity throughout the city.
Some of our people are earnestly
in favor of this contract and very
large number are opposed to- it, es-
pecially that feature involving a sale
by the city of it's distribution system.
There is. some like myself who are not
sufficiently informed or have not suf-
ficiently considered the information
at hand to know just what is best.
The point, however, wish to make
by this communication is that the peo-
pie of Hamilton are entitled to vote
on this question as to whether such
contract should be made or not, and
the phase of the subject that most
impresses itself upon the mind is the
strenuous effort which is being made
to prevent the people from exercising
this vote Why shouldn't the people
have right to vote on this very i'm
portant subject, and what motive
prompts the efforts to deprive the
people of the right to vote? Such
a keen fight is being made in the
courts and otherwise to take away
from the people this law-given right
to say at the ballot box whether such
a contract should be made or not. 1t
is this struggle to put the contract
across without giving the voters a
chance to express themselves that is
calculated to arouse suspicion. wish
somebody would tell through the
press or otherwise why this contract
should be rushed through without a
of the voters.
Very truly yours,
ALLEN ANDREWS.

4. At meeting of the city council
Wednesday night, January 10th, the
city council unanimously voted for the
repeal of Ordinance No. 2172, which
provided for the sale of the municipal
electric light plant. 1t also unani-
mously voted for the repeal of Ordi-
nance 2173, which granted a franchise
for twenty-five years to the purchaser
of the municipal electric light plant.
1t will be remembered that on the
night of November ID, 1923, the for
mer city council, at the request of
ex-Mayor Koehler, passed three ordi-
nances ;<one, No. 2172, providing for
the sale of the city electric light dis
tributing system. The second, No.
2173, granted franchise for twenty
five years to the purchaser of the
municipal electric system, and Ordi-
nance No. 2174 authorized the service
director to advertise for bids and
make a contract for lighting the
streets of Hamilton. These three'ordi-
nances were related to each other,
and Ordinances No. 2173 and 2174
were dependent upon Ordinance No
2172, which provided for the SALE.
After the passage of these three
ordinances on November 14th, move
ment was started to circulate refer.
endum petitions against these ordi
nances, to have them submitted to the
electors of Hamilton for their ap-
proval or rejection. AS soon as it
was announced that referendum pc
titions would be circulated, a large
number of people volunteered their
assistance in circulating these petit
tions to prevent the sale of the city
electric plant. Notwithstanding the
fact that the two daily newspapers
of Hamilton advocated the sale of the
plant, used all of their influence to
prevent the circulation of referendum
petitions, and to prevent people from
signing the referendum petitions, in
short space of time petitions con-
tanning 3031 signatures were filed
with the city auditor, asking for a
referendum on these ordinances. The
Union Gas & Electric Company, and
the leaders of the former administra-
tion in Hamilton, ias well as the
Chamber of Commerce, did everything
in their power to prevent and defeat
the referendum, and endeavored to
get signers of the referendum petit

TO DELAY ACTION
Opponents Spar Against
New Immigration
Law

A house committee is holding hear
ings on immigration legislation. The
8 per cent law will expire next June.
Opponents of immigration include
various racial groups and the national
industrial conference board, fedora
ton of a score of anti-union employ
ers whose attorney and leading spoke
sman is James A. Emery. The STRAIT
egy of these opponents is to plead
for delay, for study, for investigation
in hope that the present nationwide
demand for greater immigration re-
striction will subside. They insist
that the present 3 per cent law has
not had fair trial.; that this law
should BIT continued for possibly an
other year; and in the meantime,
after investigation, definite immi-
grafton policy should be decided upon.
Chairman Johnson, of the immigra-
tion committee, has presented bill
based on 2 per cent quota of the
wives, children, brothers, sisters and
parents of naturalized citizens. The
admission of another 2 per cent of the
wives and minor children of men who
have been here two years and who
have declared their intention to be-
come citizens is permitted

ALWAYS THE SAME
Steel Trust Gains By Short
er Hour Day

Trade unionists who are directing
the steel organizing campaign are
putting the steel trust on the defen-
sive by an educational campaign
among these workers.
Leaflets written in a readable, snap
py style, and with interesting car
toons, are being distributed in large
numbers throughout the various steel
sections Especial attention is paid
to the steel trusts enormous profits,
which have been increased by wage
reductions when the eight-hour day
was partially established.
Under the caption, Juggling With
Your Wages" one leafet states:
Labor in the steel industry has re-
Gently been receiving 40 cents an hour
for a 12-hour day. That means $3.50.
Families can not live decently on that
'Now the eight-hour day comes in.
Workers have long wanted it. They
struck for it in 1919 and before.
"The steel bosses now say they will
pay so cents an hour for an eight
hour day. At first that sounds good.
1t sounds like raise in wages.
But when you get your pay envel-
ope you find that there is only $4 a
day in it, instead of $3.50. Eight
times so cents is $4 Your wages are
reduced 80 cents day. The same
principle applies to tonnage men.
Your wages have been reduced.
Four dollars a day is not enough. La
bor should receive 90 cents an hour to
make $3.50 a day, and others in pro-
portion"

Sec ond place went to George W. Corners with the score of 06. Third place was tie between Dr. Nabers, and Lee Moody who broke 02 each.
 John Fletcher made the long run for the day by breaking Se straight. Dr. |. J. Sellers made the next longest run with fl straight. Lee Moody, and Rev.

FIRST BIG TEN
 GAME E TIED Chicago Beats Brown And l.. S. U. Downs In-
 diana Team

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.--In the first conference game of the season Ohio State and Iowa today played . nothing to nothing tie at Iowa City. The con test was a passing affair, neither side being able to endanger the others goal until the fourth period when Ohio found itself in the possession of the ball and by series of aerial plays brought it to the Iowa 35-yard line. There the Buckeyes were stopped, and Iowa, in the shape of Charlie Brookins, worlds champion hurdler, essayed several end runs that netted long gains, but failed to put over a score before the final whistle.
 Dope Upset
 In two intersectionai contests Chi cago upset Browns hopes of victory by taking the long end of a 10 to score and Louisiana romped away with the Indiana game to the tune of 20 to 10. Both contests spilled the dope Chicago being expected to show the same weak defense that 1t displayed c week ago in losing to Missouri.
 Another upset took place at Madison when Coe college of Cedar Rapids, fowa, held Wisconsin to to z tie, after having led [ to most of the way. Another closely fought contest was that at Ann Arbor where the Michigan Az gies played Michigan to standstill un- til the last quarter when the Wolver- ines, put over touchdown and won to 10.
 The other games of the day proved easy, victories for the big fen entrants, Illinois walking over Butler 40 to 10. rerdue smothering Rose Poly Al to 3 and Norwestern whitewashing Cincin. nafi 42 to 0.
