THE CHIEFS EDICT.

Whether or not Chief Swank has a
legal right to deprive the public of
the privilege to examine the police
records will not be argued by the
"Hired Man." But be that as it may,
Charley has went and done it any
how.
1t appears that newspaper report
ers are especially under the ban, and
that is where We believe he made a
mistake; for of all people in the world
the news gatherer is the most trust
worthy. He oftimes keeps under his
hat secrets which would make the or
dinary mans hair stand on end, (that
is if he has any to stand) and no one
is the wiser.
No sir, Chief, it would be a better
move on your part if you take the
reporter into your confidence, he
won't blab, and he might give you
some tips which would be of value to
you, because it is just possible he may
have brains equal to those possessed
by some of the sleuths over whom you
preside.
But give you away he never will.
Don't forget that.

CLARENCE WAS RIGHT.

That Councilman C. V. Fulke knew
what he was talking about when he
called attention to the risks to which
pedestrians were subjected by care
less drivers of automobiles, at all
times and in all places about the city,
especially at the southwest corner of
the square, where many drivers cut
the corners so closely as to barely
miss the curb stone, was forcibly
proven a few days after his warning
was issued when William Knauber
was run down and so seriously injured
that he died forty-eight hours later
without regaining consciousness.
The question has been asked if our
too meager police force could not be
employed with better advantage and
greater benefit to the common people
if more time was devoted to looking
after public safety and less to gum
shoe work in the hope of spotting
some poor devil who might be guilty
of owning and possessing a fraction
of an ounce of illicit liquid said to
contain more than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol.

EMPLOYERS ASSOCIATION
Secretary's Annual Report Covers Many Points of
Information and Offers Suggestions
Well Worth Consideration

has been abused Not many of our
members will today quarrel with the
trade union principle, but some of its
abuses have stirred many of our mem
bers against it. One evil that has
crept into the trade union system
which has caused more i'll will than
all others combined is that of the
jurisdictional dispute, particularly in
the building and railroad shop trades.
The spectacle of workers employing
the strike weapon against their own
fellows is reflection upon our whole
civilization.
The specter of the jurisdicational
dispute has frightened many Of our
employers into setting their faces
against organized labor. This sort Of
dispute is fast disappearing and thru
it's disappearance closer relation is
being developed between our organi-
zation and those at the head of or
ganized labor. O..
never have believed that indus
trial peace could be brought into be-
ing by legal enactment. Strikes and
lockouts have been with US since the
days when the Hebrews in Egypt re-
fused to make bricks without straw.
The remedy lies, not in the interven-
ton of the government, but in the dl-
rect negotiation and mutual under
stading which | have strived to bring
about.
The tragedy and misery of strikes
is we'll known to me. | have eXpe-
rienced the trials of strikes and labor

mately settled by negotiation. After
men have been idle for months, and
women and children have been
brought down to their last crust of
bread, the representatives Of the dis
putting sides get together around the
council table and reach settlement.
I They begin right where thev were
when the months of misery started.
There never was a strike that did
not cause a loss to both employer and
the worker by reason of the conflict.
| shall always fight for the use of the
council table to solve any dispute, and
| believe this method will be better
than any outside agency, government
endorsed or otherwise.
In Newark we are particularly for
tunate in having a total absence OF
the red radical element among the
leaders of organized labor. The an
archist and the bomb thrower, the be-
levers in Sovietism and l. w. Wism
are characters unknown to us.
In conclusion, | believe that the
local Trades and Labor Assembly will
always support the eternal fundamen-
tails of: Liberty under law; The right
of free labor; The right of free con-
tract; The right of protection of life
and property. To this end I extend
to you my knowledge of labor condi-
tions and my profound candid opinion
that 1924 will not see our industries
interrupted by any whims or fancies
of the minority element of organized
labor.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-02-01

The following report of Searl S.
Nethers, the competent secretary of
the Newark Ohio Employers Associa-
tion, presented at the close of the
year, contains so many points of in
terest to employer and employe alike,
that we print entire:
Gentlemen:-You secretary takes
this opportunity to comment on labor
conditions in Newark during the past
year, as seen from our office.
1t is my opinion that we have made
tremendous steps in the direction OF
organization and cooperation in in
dustry. Probably no single group has
demonstrated greater progress to-
ward industrial cooperation than has
ours. We are approaching the day
when labor shall be really free, when
industry shall be really unshackled.
The day of master and man in Amer
ican industry is past and gone. 1t is
my hope that with that day there will
disappear the period of discord and
strife and that we shall continue on
to new era of intelligent co-opera-
ton based on mutual interests, mu-
tual good will and mutual under
standing between the worker and the
employer. During the past year L
have, on behalf of our Association,
worked toward this end. | firmly be-
lieve that the futility of conflict be-
tween those who manage industry and
those who labor to make industry
possible has been demonstrated. The
&c
teaching both employer and employees
that industry is a combination OF the
two and that a house devided among
itself shall not stand.
| attribute the ending of industrial
warfare in Newark to the understand
ing and cooperation between the men
who manage industry and the men
upon whose labor industry is founded.
The greatest prosperity, for employer
and employed will be found in that in
dustry where the employer knows IN
timately the problems, needs and as
pirations of the workers, and where
the workers have a sympathetic un--
derstanding of the difficulties and
discouragements and purposes of the
employer. During the past year l
nave euuedVOIeu W pilliS e'po"o
persosal relations between our mem
bers who manange industry and the
men working in it.
| firmly believe that employers
throughout American industry are
gradually learning that they must
Stand or fall together, that one can
not long prosper at the expense of the
other. If one gains, both must gain.
If one loses, both must lose. If one
dies, both must die.
The trade unionism question has
been constantly before US since the
inception of our Association. 1t is
nv belief that the principle of trade
unionism is fundamentally sound, put
like every other great human lnstltu,,
ton is has it's faults, and it can and

SHOULD BE LOOKED AFTER.

1t was stated to the "Hired Man"
the other day that the water plug
which was put on the blink last Sun
day by rural visitor who was in such
a hurry to get within the boundaries
of a first-class town that he needed
not small obstacles, remained out OF
commission for upwards of twenty
four hours, thus forcing the residents
of a large portion of the northern
part of the city to do without water,
and also depriving them of fire pro-
lection.
But the main kick is the alleged
condition of the gate or shut-off to be
used to cut off the water from the
damaged hydrant. 1t is claimed it
would not operate and that much
more distant one was used, which cut
out the supply from much more ter
ritory than was necessary had every
thing been in working condition. Kick
No. 2 was about the time taken to
get things back into ship-shape. This
resident and taxpayer was convinced
that the Job should not have required
upwards of twenty-four hours to per-
form.
If such conditions exist it might
not be amiss for the proper officials
to give them the once over with a
view of correcting any existing faults
or defects.

Increase the
Safety inspectors

Washington-Control of the num-
Der of safety appliance inspectors,
their salaries and allowances is given
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion by a bill that is sponsored by
Senator Cummins of Iowa just offer
ed in the senate.
Existing law limits the number of
inspectors that may be employed to
so and stipulates the amount that
may be paid as salary Chief Inspec-
tor A. G. Pack, in his report to the
commission, declares that there are
too few inspectors and that their sal
aries are not adequate, but that moth
ing can be done about it until the
safety appliance act is changed.
Under the Cummins proposal it
would be up to the commission to say
how many inspectors are needed
what they shall be paid and what
their duties shall be.

GOOD FOR YOU, CHIEF.

Chief Swank should be commended
for the energetic measures he is en-
forcing to prevent automobile acci-
dents. No longer will double parking
be permitted, and the fellow who
dashes about without a tail light and
perhaps one headlight burning will
surely come to grief, as number
have already learned to their sorrow.
Many of the too frequent accidents
could be avoided if ordinary precau-
tions were observed and little COM
mon sense displayed. Chief Swank
has issued orders that the laws and
ordinances governing the operation of
automobiles be rigidly enforced, and
that no favoritism be shown in any
instance.
Good for you Charley, you are
starting in fine; keep it up.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-02-01
HERE THEY ARE
BOUQUETS AND BRICKBATS ARE
DISTRIBUTED.
COmmendatiOn and Criticism Handed
Out PrOmiscuOusly as Deemed
Just By Our Hired Man.
HAVE RIGHT TO CRITICIsE.

Criticising public officials is not
knocking. No man has right to ac-
cept public office unless he is willing
to be subject to the will of the people
who elected him. No official has ever
been above criticism; and not with
standing he may be good official
in the main, yet it remains that he
is fallible. When, however, he seems
to be lax in the discharge of his Off
cial duties he should be amenable to
the public whose servant he is. This
applies to every public official, from
President of the United States down
to dog catcher.

EXIT FIRE ALARM BELL.

No more will the old-time fire bell
tell the people that conflagration
is in progress somewhere about
town, and also inform them in what
portion of the city it is located, and
thus relieve their anxietv or increase
the apprehensions, as the case may
be, for the powers that be have issued
an edict that condemns the existence
of this old-time friend.
They claim that rotting timbers
render the tower unsafe and pub
lie menace, they also say that just
as soon as the bell taps the number,
hundreds of automobiles start in a
free-for-all race for the scene of ac-
ton, thereby endangering human life
and making a general nuisance of
themselves, by impeding and hinder
ing the work of the fire department.
But whatever be the cause, this ac-
ton by the higher-ups will bring re-
grets to many who have so long been
accustomed to the fire call, that its
silencing will cause void which will
be hard to fill.

cipal corners, not only an eyesore but
also blotting out stairway leading

Roads Labor Policy
Don't Aid Public

Rock Island, Ill.-Rock Island rail-
road shop men in this vicinity have
opened a publicity bureau to present
their side to the public.
The shop men ask business men
what has been the result of the rail-
roads campaign to reduce wages and
lengthen hours. Have freight rates
been reduced? Ask the strikers. Can
you travel any cheaper? Is the serv-
ice improved?
President German Of the railroad is
quoted as saying that the Rock Island
will hardly be able to pay dividends
on it's preferred stock, and that moth
ing will be left for common stock.
"What has become of the huge
sums of money taken from the pay
rolls of the shop men, and, incident
ally, from business enterprises of the
Tri-Cities and other points ?" the
workers ask.

millions of dollars have been spent
to disrupt the unions. This money
