SAFETY CONFERENCE
CALLED BY HOOVER

Washington-Se Secretary of Com.
merce Hoover has called a national
conference on street and highway
safety to meet in this city on De-
cember Is, 16 and II.
The purpose will be to obtain better
organization and cooperation in the
reduction of traffic accidents. Organ
izations of all kinds will be invited.
"The Importance of this question, y
Secretary Hoover said, needs no en-
phasis beyond the bald statement of
the facts brought out that last year
not less than 22,600 persons We're
killed, 678,000 injured and S600,000,-
900 of property damage incurred in
traffic accidents This represents an
increase of 80 per cent within the last
seven years Of the accidents, about
IS per cent were due to automobile
traffic.
'This is national loss so appalling
as to warrant the most complete con-
sideration and effort at drastic rem

PRISON MADE GOODS

1t is said that some of our mer-
chants have their shelves crowded
with goods made in various prisons
throughout the country. Most of these
goods are working garments, shirts,
overalls, Jackets, underwear and so
forth. Trades Council is sending out
letters to the merchants asking them
to discontinue handling these goods.
1t isn't fair to ask decent workmen
to wear goods that are prison made.
There is state law which says all
such goods must be plainly tagged,
marked or labeled 'prison made" but
these marks are sometimes hid so
that the purchasers buy them in ignor-
ance of having been made in prison
1t is to be hoped that the local mer-
chants will cooperate with Trades
Council in stamping out the sale of
"prison-made" goods locally. In dis
continuing the sale of prison-made
goods the merchants will assist mate
rally in giving employment to hon.
est workmen who are now unem
ployed.

REVIEW DENIED
BY Supreme Court to Santa
Fe Employees Convicted
on Conspiracy Charge

Washington. - The United States
supreme court has denied the plea of
Santa Fee railroad employees that their
case be reviewed. The employees
were convicted on conspiracy"
charges in the federal courts of Cali
fornia because they refused to man
defective equipment out of Needles,
Cal, during the shop mems strike
of 1922. The supreme court upheld
the convictions. Following the
courts decision on the trial-by- jury
section of the Clayton law, the Santa
employees asked the supreme court to
review their case.
The employees insist that their re-
fusal to man the railroad equipment
was in no sense conspiracy to inter
fere with the mail or with interstate
commerce, but their purpose was to
enforce safe working conditions. The
trial jury accepted the governments
conspiracy view and the higher courts
| have ruled that the jury has this
right
| The convictions were secured after
one of the most widespread propa-
gandas ever staged in this country
The public press printed lurid tales of
strikers deserting trains on western
deserts, and bringing untold hardship
to women and children. After the en-
ployes were convicted and precedent
established the passenger department
of the Santa Fe railroad called on all
subordinates to end the propaganda
by giving wide publicity to the fact
that Needles, Cal, where the trains
were supposed to be abandoned, is not
wild waste, but is a city of 5000
population with modern hotels and
other accommodations.

GETTING TIRESOM E

The people of Hamilton need not
become the least bit alarmed over
the talk of reduced forces for the
police and fire departments There
are too many live, big men and organ
izations in our city, the chamber of
commerce is one of them, who will
see to it that funds for maintaining
the two departments are raised, de-
spite the fact that the people have
elected officials whose duties it should
be to look after such things. But
wouldn't it be fine thing if we could
once more pick up the evening paper
without having staring us in the face
an announcement by Mayor Kelly that
unless somebody brings in bunch of
money or some bootlegger permits
himself to be arrested and pays big
fine before this day or that day, by
Tuesday or by Thursday, or by SO
and so, the police and fire depart
ment forces are going TO be cut ?
We've been handed that bunk now for
about two months, and it sure is run
ming stale If Mayor Kelly and city
council can't clear the situation-h hand
it over to the chamber of commerce
CHATS where it is going eventually
and have it done with. Any
way, let's be done with the whimper-
ing and whining!

LAW VIOLATION

Of the biggest would-be sticklers
for law observance and the greatest
howlers on law violation in Hamilton
some of them are those who daily
violate the state laws governing the
hours of employment for women and
girls. This is particularly true in
many of our mills and factories and
small establishments where girls and
women are compelled to work ten,
eleven and as high as thirteen and
fourteen hours some days, when the
law specifically says that no female
shall be permitted to work longer than
nine hours III any one day nor more
than fifty hours in any one week.
Trades Council is determined that
this pernicious practice must stop,
and to this end is sending out letters
to all employers of female labor,
warning them that if they violate this
law in the future they will have to
suffer the consequence of prosecution.
And in this, Trades Council is hoping
that the employers will not force
drastic measures-that they will obey
the letter of the law-for there would
be no more pleasure in it for Trades
Council to prosecute the offenders
than there would be for the offenders
being prosecuted.

CARTIER is LEARNING

Just five weeks ago the Press
stated that City Councilman Cartier
would know much more after trying
to collect, by popular subscription,
$4,000 for Hamilton's safety fund,
than he knew at that time. The
Press statement and prediction was
brought out because of Mr. Cartier
stand in spurning and rejecting every
proposition of the Chamber of Com
merce committee for raising the nec-
essary funds to keep the police and
fire departments going intact. The
Press also stated at the time that if
it was wrong in its prediction, which
for the city's good it hoped it was,
that it would gladly stand corrected
We ask, does the Press owe an apol-
ogy? Does Mr.. Cartier know more
of human nature today than ne did
before starting out on his collecting
trip? We think he does.
Because few mills and factories
and individuals promised substantial
amounts toward the fund, Mr.. Cartier
seemed to think the collection of $20,-
900 an easy matter and of daily occur
rnece He fired his big gun this week
when he turned in check from the
Champion Coated Paper Company
for $1,000 This contribution from
the Champion was certainly a gener-
Gus one and the action of the COM
pany is to be commended, but there
aren't any more of like amount, and
when it comes to collecting about
$4,000 more in 81, 50, So and $40
sums-of course there are few
larger ones in-the boss city dad is
finding some job on his hands.
Dollars to doughnuts the Chamber
of Commerce will have to finish the
job-another prediction.

OVERLOOKED SOMETHING

a bet on the two common pleas judge
ships in the election last week. With
two good strong men on the ticket
they could have cleaned up these two
plums along with the rest. And this
said with all due respect for the abil-
ity of the present incumbents. Judg-
ing from the big majorities given the
winners the voters didn't care much
who they cast their ballots for just
so long as they weren't democrats.
But the republicans, however, were as
much shocked at the size of their
vote as were the democrats discon-
certed. If they had only known, as
they now say, goodnight-judges.
The people were lucky.

THAT "CRUSHING DEFEAT"
The La Toilette candidacy made il
possible for the people to register the
greatest popular protest against re-
action in the history of this country
Opponents of the progressive ticket
are admitting that La Toilette will be
credited with 100000 votes. The
magnitude of this vote can be appre-
ciated by comparing it with Roose-
velt's 1912 popular vote of 4,119,5O7
when he and Taft were defeated by
Wilson. The latter received 10000
votes
Roosevelt with 100000 votes re-
ceived SO votes in the electoral col
lege. Taft with 3,500,000 votes re-
ceived but eight electoral votes
Utah and Vermont.
In the 1924 election La Toilette re-
ceives at least 100000 though he
probably carries but one state-Wis-
consin.
While reaction affects great jubila-
tion at what it terms the crushing
defeat" of the progressive ticket, the
men who make these claims are not
blind to the significance of 6,000,00
voters overcoming hostile court deci-
sions, the obstacles of party machines,
the confusion of ballots and the ever
present danger of a dishonest count
in certain sections of the country.
Despite contrary claims, reaction
has not secured control of congress.
The progressive group in both
branches, backed by 100000 votes,
will serve as a check on those who
would now create the belief that they
have a blank check, signed by the
people.
Organized labor played magnifi-
cent part in this campaign, and the
non partisan policy of the A. F. of L..
has been given it's greatest indorse
nent. The A. F. of L. non-partisan
committee distributed millions of
pieces of literature Labor's cam
,aign was marked by complete har-
nony, solidarity and enthusiasm.
here was no discord or internal dis |
ention in the ranks of labor. The
ecognized labor press stood true, as
always does. These publications
resented the workers cause with in
diligence and capacity.

MAKE FUTURE A PARADISE
By GEORGE w. PERKINS
- "a "a "a Pa

Editor, Cigar Makers Official Journal
We know what the past and the
present conditions of the wage
| earners was and is. What of the
future! In this enlightened age it
may be said without reservation that
conditions in so far as labor is con-
cerned are just what labor makes
them.
There is no way for labor to make
better conditions except through their
unions and collective bargaining. By
proper organization many of the
things brought about by improved ma
chinery, science and intelligent ap-
plication can be made real blessings
for the working masses.
United productive labor can bring
about an economic condition vastly
superior to that enjoyed today by the
very best organized and highest paid
labor. This can be done without dis
turbing the existing conditions of gov
ernment and means of production |
Trade and commerce will not need to
be upset or disturbed Industrial pro-
duction, intensive farming and finan-
:ial institutions will prosper and go
without interruption. The
only people who will suffer will be the
CRATER, profiteer, and the idle rich.
This fact can not be disputed.

,ower and wonderfully productive and

AVERAGE UNEMPLOYMENT

One of the aims of unionism in the
future should be to solve the problem
of irregular employment, which pre-
walls to large extent even in Amer
lea, where the worker has decidedly
his best lot.
Averaging good and bad years, 10
to II per cent of all the workers in
the United States, several millions of
men and women, are out of work all
the time, the Russell Sage foundation
reports. The report is based on a
five-year study of employment meth
DDS, needs and agencies.
After citing the fact that each year
of work for weeks and sometimes for
from one to six million persons are out
months at a time, the report says:
There is something which we are
just beginning to recognize, resent
ment on the part of the workers
against an industrial situation in
which insecurity and uncertainty OF
employment are possible 1t is not
only unemployment, but the fear OF
unemployment, the knowledge that
any job is uncertain and, insecure
subject to the fluctuations of economic
change, whic hare respnosibl efof
much of our present industrial un-
rest"
| The widespread unemployment dis
closed by the foundations report is
| fraught with far-reaching economic
social, psychological and moral con-
sequences. 1t reveals serious stu
alton and shows that everything is
not perfect in this country, the re-
dictionaries to the contrary. AS the
Sage foundation points out, actual un-
employment and fear of unemploy.
ment are responsible for much dis
content. Stabilize employment and
much of this discomfort will disappear
The situation complained of by the
Sage foundation is partly explained
by seasonal employments, such as the
building trades, which heretofore
have had long lay-off during winter
conditions. There are plans on foot,
with which labor should and doubtless
will cooperate, to do away with this
winter depression in large part by a
course of common thoughtfulness
and this will probably be done. 1t
will mean a good deal to the car
penter, the plasterer, the painter and
others of like employment
