COMMERCIAL RAINMAKING POSSIBILITY

For three years the United States army has been conducting experiments at Boiling Field in the de- sructon of fog and clouds by the use of electrified sand. Simply stated, the air experts base their work on ''the assumption that visible forms of mois- ture i'll the air in the form of cooidal suspen- sion in gases and that they should be governed by the same general laws that prevail in collodal action in liquids and solids" By turning lever the airmen may unloose either positive or negative sand and the kind of sand that is discharged depends on whether the offending cloud has charged positively Tor negatlvely-the opposite being used.
 Recently small cloud was attacked with less than ten pounds of ''negative'' sand and forthwith the lightning and thunder which had been filling the air with noises, ceased, and 'there followed Isow gentle rain of about four hours duration' The conservative experts say that 'no claim of course Ils made that rain was caused by us but it is as- Iserted that the sands eliminated the lightning and thunder Thomas A. Edison says the airmen should be able to upset the electric charge of tornado or Icyclone and the government experts go so far as ito say that commercial ranmakng lies within the |grasp of man, and he employ to this end on.

A BLOW AT THE LEAGUE

The refusal of Great Britain to allow the League of Nations to arbitrate it's dispute with Egypt is great blow to proponents of the League, who had to believe 1t the panacea for all things, regard less of the questions involved. Prominent oppon- ents of the League have all along questioned the good faith of the countries involved believing that the larger and more powerful nations would refuse to accept it's mandates in their ideas of right differed from that of the League and that it's work ngs could only dominate the actions of the smaller nations.
 While Britain has had considerable provocation in its administration of affairs in Africa there is no doubt but that less friction would have resulted if 1t had resored to the world court in exacting rep arations for the murder of its representatives in Cairo The principals in suit cannot see beyond their own claims, and are generally too prejudiced to act fairly and impartially in their decisions
 Without doubt the action of Great Britain will be the of the disintegraion of the League as it has been proved impossible to compel powerful nation to accept its decrees without force of arms which places the matter where it was before the for mutation of it's pacific constitution

UNION OWNED MINE "UNFAIR!"

Down in Texas where the national meeting of the American Federation of Labor took place. there was lot of complaint being made because union owned coal mine in West Virginia was being operat- ed on the ''open-shop'' basis
 The head of that property is Warren Stone, long one of the great labor leaders of the country and recently treasurer of the LaFollette campaign
 This union owned and operated mine not only employed non-union miners but it did not pay union wages nors grant union conditions.
 The operators said they could not carry on the works under union rules and compete in the open markets. They insisted on running their own busi- ness the owners, not as officials of the United Mine Workers wanted them to run the mine!
 And the mine workers officials want the own CTS of the mine in West Virginia disciplined!
 Can you beat 1t?

A MASSACHUSETTS man is famous because he IS the only man who defeated Calvin Coolidge III a contest for office. The president had been elected to public place fifteen times in about twenty five years and has the gamut of offices, through town council, legislature governership and presi- dency. Ninteen years ago he lost in contest for the school board at Northampton, Mass. by ninety tour votes and that is the only defeat in his long record Ill public life. It may be mentioned that at the time he was engaged in important race that which led him to the well-known sea of matri mony-and tried after it was too late, to withdraw from the contest. After all, it was not complete defeat he suffered, for he 'got the girl"

JUDGE ROSS REBUKED
BY FEDERAL COURT

Memphis, Tenn. = Federal Judge
Ross, who sentenced Editor Cohen, of
the local labor paper, to Jail on con-
tempt proceedings, was rebuked by
the federal court of appeals at Cincin-
natl in setting aside his rulings in
a criminal case.
When the labor editor was cited for
contempt of court, his attorneys were
given but 20 minutes to present their
defense. In the criminal case, re-
pmanded back for trial, Judge Ross
ruled that the defense could have but
Is minutes.
The appeals court criticized Judge
Ross for his denial of rights and his
tendency to express personal views as
to the guilt of accused.

CHILD LABOR
Amendment Defended By
High State Official

Albany, N. Y.-State Industrial
Commissioner Shientag disagrees
with those who claim congress will
arbitrarily prohibit the labor of all
persons under 18 years of age if the
federal child labor amendment is ap-
proved by three-fourths of the states.
"No state has ever enacted such
legislation, and it is inconceivable
that congress should go so far" Mr.
Shientag said.
assurances on this point comes
from the very moderate character of
the child labor laws passed by con-
gress some years ago, which were
subsequently declared unconstitu-
tional,' he said. "In word, the pur-
pose of the proposed amendment is
to enable congress to adopt mini
mum standards in connection with the
prohibition of child labor, the indi-
vidual states to retain the right to
extend the federal requirements to
meet their respective necessities"
The federal child labor law, which
was declared unconstitutional, was fan
less rigorous, Mr.. Shientag pointed
out, than child labor laws in force
in this state.
"In my opinion" he said, sit will
be long time, if ever, before any fed
eral child labor law will have more
stringent requirements than the state
of New York demands for the pro
lection Of the health, the safety, anc
the welfare of its children"

STOPPING SUNDAY MOVIES

Mayor HOWARD II. nelly was re-
quested by the Lords Day Alliance
to close the local movie theatres on
Sundays. The mayor says, however,
unless forced to do so that he would
not grant the request, that is, he will
not order the theatres closed. And
in this stand Mayor Kelly has the
backing Of at least 80 per cent of the
people of Hamilton-yes, even a
larger percentage than this. The
moving picture theatres mean much
to the working people on Sunday. 1t
is the only form of entertainment and
recreation for many of them. And it
is a harmless form of recreation. for
with the class of pictures the local
theatres stage surely no one should
find objection to them. Hamilton's
theatres are the cleanest to be found
anywhere. The pictures seen here are
much of educational and instructive
nature, as well as entertaining.
1t is all well and good enough for
people who have plenty of time dur
ing the week to drop into theatre
most any afternoon to talk about
closing these places of amusement on
Sundays, but how about the poor
devil who tolls in the shop every day,
who is too worn out and tired to
attend theatres at night, who has
no other day except Sunday on which
he feels anything like going out for
little recreation-how about him?
If we are going to enforce Sunday
blue laws, as Mayor Kelly says, why
pick on the moving picture theatre,
the thing that means so much to so
many thousands? The good minis
ters and some of the other good peo-
pie interested in enforcing Sunday
laws can find many other things they
can work on to better advantage if
they want to. For instance, there are
a number of stores in Hamilton
handling mems clothing, furnishings
and shoes that are open all day Sun
day; in fact, they don't seem to know
the meaning of Sunday. There is no
real need for these stores being open
at all on Sunday because their wares
can be purchased any weekday and
they only give the city the appear
ance of market day on Sunday. Es-
pecially is this true Of the block on
High street between Front street and
Monument avenue.
This would be good place to start
the Sunday cleanup, but keep off the
theatres. The people are with you,
Mayor Kelly, in your stand-stick to

WORTH WHILE-TRY IT

Are you and your local union plan
ming for tomorrow, next month and
next year?
We must not wait for things to just
happen. We must plan to make them
happen. Perhaps your brothers are
waiting on you, as well as you are
waiting on them.
Unionism means get together in
planning and execution. No plans,
no execution, no results that are
beneficial. Live and do, so that you
can be pointed out as an example of
what good union man really is.
Your company or firm that you
work for must keep active, if not COM
petition and hustling by other live
firms will soon put the cob-webs on
the windows and doosr.
The opportunity is always with us.
Don't wait until you are taken by the
hand and led. Be a planner! Be a
doer! Success is bound to follow.
Unionism is right. 1t has met the
acid test, and it only remains for men
and women to arouse themselves and
benefit by applying it in a sane and
sensible manner.
Plan, execute and enjoy life.

Do THEY WANT THE BONUS?
Legal steps have already been
started in Washington to stop the
payment of the soldiers bonus.
For some reason the plan proposed
under the recently adopted law is far
from satisfactory to many of the boys
who risked their lives to preserve de-
mocracy
Usually this paper does not mix in
national affairs, but quoting Presi-
dent Coolidge on the bonus law, at
this time, may not be amiss. In We
toing the bonus bill he said:
"The gratitude of the nation to
these veterans can not be expressed
in dollars and cents. The respect and
honor of their country will right
fully be theirs for evermore. But
patriotism can neither be bought nor
sold. 1t is not for hire and salary
1t is not material but spiritual. 1t is
one of the finest and highest of hui
man virtues. To attempt to pay
money for it is to offer it an unworthy
indignity which cheapens, debases
and destroys it. We must either
abandon our theory of patriotism or
abandon this BILL"
We just cannot feel or see it that
way at all.
A bonus may not be good business.
But was the war good business, and
did the boys start it?
The respect and honor of their
country sounds fine. But where is
the evidence that the boys have it :?
We're they even given back their
jobs?
Patriotism cannot be bought or
sold, nor is it for hire. But buying
and selling and hiring mean bargain
ing before the transaction, and did the
boys try to make any bargain before
they went into the war?
1t is not material but spiritual. But
how does the spirit of the boys who
went without hesitation, terms or j
price, compare with the spirit Of those |

HIGH WAGES LOWERS DEATH
RATE

The national bureau for economic
research estimates that the popula-
ton of the United States increased
1,943,00 in 1923. This is an usual
increase and the bureau attributes it
to immigration and the lowest death
rate which ever prevailed over a SIM
liar period in this country.
The bureau didn't say that the low
death rate was caused by high wages
and the resulting prosperity, but
economic conditions doubtless had
much to do with it. When people are
steadily employed at wage levels that
enable them to obtain ample food
clothing and shelter and to get need
ed rest and recreation, they do not
die in as great numbers as when the
situation is reversed. Poverty ano
its accompanying misery, sickness
and worry are not conducive to low
death rate.
Organized. labor can contemplate
the cutting Of the death rate with {
high degree of satisfaction, as un
doubtedly the high wage scale which
it has won for the workers had much
to do with keeping Death at bay il
