LAST WORD IN
SEDAN TYPE
Combination of Beauty and
Strength-Adapted for Cross
Country Service.

A new cross-country bus of the
sedan type is the latest addition to
the REQ line. 1t is now on display
at the Trew Motor Company, this
city. The body, which is mounted
on six cylinder chassis especially
designed for use in passenger trans
portation, incorporates a combina-
ton Of strength and beauty and
Is particularly suited for cross
country service.
Every thought has been given
to passenger comfort, an essential
to the patronage of interurban bus
service, and at the same time every
advantage possible has been taken
to utilize the space for the pay load.
Tests show that seventeen pass
engers can be seated comfortably
in the body which is divided into
three distinct compartments-driv
er's and baggage, passengers and
smokers
Comfort for Drivers.
The drivers seat, deeply up
holstered is of the individual roomy
type. His comfort and freedom for
operation are assured. An up
holstered auxiliary slab type seat is
mounted on the partition in this
compartment and can be used for
overloads when not in conflict with
the existing law governing capacity.
However, this seat is so mounted
that when not in use it may be
folded up against the partition.
Grill work consisting of sixteen
heavy rods, nickel plated, form the
upper half of the partition.
This grill work besides enhancing
the appearance Of the body serves
to prevent piled up baggage from
falling into the passengers COM
partment and also prevents any
one from crowding or otherwise
hindering the driver in the opera
ton of the bus, at the same time
permitting communication with
passengers when necessary.
A heavy roll curtain is suitably
mounted behind the driver and may
be drawn to afford better visibility
Of the road at night.
The dome light for this compart.
ment is controlled by a separate
switch convenient to the driver.
There is a liberal use of pyramid
aluminium to prevent marring of
the finish by baggage or passengers.
Two doors, one on each side Of
the body, are provided for this
compartment. It is possible for the
driver to leave from either side, a
great convenience in bus service
And a recognized emergency meas
ure. All doors are fitted with inn
proved type window regulators
such as are used on high-gra pas
senger cars.
Passenger Arrangements.
The passenger compartment con.
sists of two full-length seats, both
of which face forward. This COM
partment is directly behind the

The 44-hour week strike began in
May, 1921, and ended only recently.
More than S15,000,000 was expended
by the international Union in strike
benefits and other expenses incidental
to the struggle.

of new executive council, headed
| by James NJ. Lynch, president of the
union, representatives of more than
80 local unions were called to head
quarters here for conferences on the

JAP NOT WRONCED
BY u. S. Exclusion Act, De-
clares Japan Party
Leader

Providence, r. In an address in
this city, Dr. Yusuki Tsurumi, leader
of the liberal party in Japan, ex-
pressed the belief that the recent pas
sage of the Oriental exclusion act, by
congress, was 'inexplicable.
The Far East statesman adopted
the general policy of Japanese and
their friends in the United States by
implying that the act is aimed spe,
cifically at the Japanese, rather than
every country whose nationals are in
eligible to citizenship in the United
States.
In this propaganda there is no at
tempt to challenge the right of the
United States to say who shall be
admitted, but objection is raised to
"the method employed"
In other words, the Japanese and
their friends do not object to exclu-
sion legislation provided it does not
exclude, as was the case with the
"gentlemen's agreement"
That agreement, negotiated by
| President Roosevelt in 1907, is the
only instance where the regulation of
immigration was taken out of the
hands of congress. Japan pledged to
check further immigration to this
country. Under the agreement, how
\ a1o{ nf To,
ese now here continued to arrive,
with the resultant multiplication of
population.
Congress then assumed its prorog-
ative last spring and despite protests
by the administration, passed law
which debars from this country those
who can not acquire citizenship.
This is no new policy. For 134
years the United States has limited
the privilege of naturalization to the
white race. This law has remained
unchanged and the United States SUI
preme court has recently held that
it also applies to the japanese.
i The 'gentlemen's agreement" was
special legislation in favor of the
japanese and against other Orienta
peoples. The new law, which Japar
now objects to, places that countr.
on the same basis as other countrie.

theory is shown by her own policy o.

SHERIFF AND JUDGE
Held For Peonage Practiced
In Florida Turpentine
Fields

Pensacola, FLA federal grand
jury has indicted Sheriff Clark and
County Judge Chafin, of Calhoun
county, and several other persons in
connection with alleged peonage
practices in the turpentine fields of
that section of this state.
Following an exhaustive investiga-
tion by federal agents, the accused
are charged with having arrested la
borers and bringing them to trial be-
fore Judge Chafn. The latter, it is
stated, has admitted to federal Off
cials that he Imposed COSTS" with
an added 500 for Services of the
men to go after the laborers."
The prosecution, it is claimed, will
tell narrowing tale of brutality to-
ward men who escaped from these
camps. When captured, some of the
fugitives were stripped of clothing,
fastened to the ground and lashed
The trial, it is declared, will show
that the evils of the convict camps
in the turpentine fields continue,
, though the state legislature passed a
bill forbidding the leasing Of con-
victs to private companies and abol-
ished the lash in prison camps.
This law followed the death of
Martin Tabert, of North Dakota, who
was arrested for riding on freight
train. He was leased to the Putnam
Lumber Company, in whose camp he
was fogged.

LOAN TO FALL
Made By Doheny is ShrOud-
ed in Mystery

Los Angeles, Calif-Fraud, con-
spiracy and illegality were asserted
by the government to have constitut-
ed the background out of which Ed
ward L. Doheny and Albert B. Fall,
secretary of the interior in 1922,
evolved the California naval oil leases
to the Doheny interests
1T was Doheny's master mind that
controlled everything on behalf of
his company" the government attor-
neys told the federal court
In connection with the DEAL the
prosecution said, the evidence shows
that Fall got 100000 from Doheny
in an alleged loan, and that Doheny
got a property which, Doheny himself
calculated, would yield his company
S1O0,OOO,OOO.
Fall dealt with Doheny in a way so
lavish as never before known in pub
lie history, the government attorneys
declared. Secretary of the Navy
Denby was declared to be a rubber
stamp" in the transaction
Referring to the 100000 which
Doheny lent Fall, the prosecution in
sisted that whatever the motive be-
hind it, the lending of the money
placed Fall in Doheny's power at a
time when Doheny, as business man,
was dealing with Fall as a govern
ment official for contracts and leases
of public nature.
ut has been said that this was
loan Then why the secrecy?" the
government attorneys asked The
cash was delivered by Doheny's own
son, and ''in two weeks that note was
torn" the purpose of which, accord
ing to the prosecution, "was obviously
to pay this note" To sustain this
position, the government pointed out,
'there was no record of this note in
Mr. Doheny's books"

are not nest for them For if you

DO YOU EMPLOY UNION LABOR?


Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty Nothing is truer II our po-
litical life, and nothing is truer in
our industrial life In our industrial
life the union that is watchful is the
union that succeeds, goes forward,
and from year to year adds to the
welfare of its members and conse-
quently to their happiness. In these
days of unemployment what are you
doing to help your fellow-union men? ?
Are you employing union men OF
non-union men? Is the union man
loafng and the non-union man work
ing as result of your purchases
Members of the alert, watchful unions
generally practice what they preach
They preach unionism and the bene-
fits derived from collective bargain
ing, and they practice it by demand
ing union made products; they ask
for union labeled articles when they
make their purchases.
In times of industrial depression
such as our country is now experience
ing it is more important than ever
that union men should stand firm for
union principles If the employer
who deals with his men collectively
and puts the union label on his pro-
ducts he turns out, finds that there
is demand for his products, he will
continue to deal with employees col
lectively If he finds that manu-
facturer who pursues a different pol
icy and does not use the union label
, on his products is getting all the
business, what will be his attitude
when a new wage contract is to be
negotiated?
Earning a union wage is one thing
and spending that wage to promote
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1924-11-28

unionism is another thing. Buying
non-union or non-labeled products
will not promote the cause of union
ism; it will help to destroy unionism.
If those employees who are now en-
ployed would really ''stand pat" and
demand only products bearing the
union label, those employers who are
running union shops would be work
ing full time. What effect do you
think this would have on the non
union employers? Would he not wish
to share in the prosperity and get in
line? THINK 1T OVER-ACT.
