A CORRECTION
West Side Tailoring Com
pany is a Strictly
Union Concern

Through an oversight the name of
the West Side Tailoring Company, 81
33 Main street, was unintentionally
omitted from the list of names Of the
only union card stores in Hamilton
contained in the advertisement of the
local Retail Clerks Union appearing
in the Labor Day edition of the But
Ter County Press last week. The
West Side Tailoring Company is a
union store in every way, run under
strictly union conditions. The Press
regrets very much the omission of the
concerns name from the list of union
stores advertised by the Clerks
Union, and takes this means of in
forming local organized labor that the
West Side Tailoring Company is
strictly fright" and deserving Of the
patronage of organized labor ano
friends.

Scotland Made Game OF
Golf National Pasfime

Three months before the Pilgrim Fa
theirs left Deftshayen James VI ap-
proved the contract for the first mu-
nicipal golf links at st. Andrews, Scot
land. Golf may have started in Hol-
land, where game called "kolf," q
cross between golf, hockey and bowl
ing, was played on the ice. within COW
cred courts and even in churchyards.
If the Scotch did import the sport they
changed ii greatly. Links for exam
PIE is the Scotch term referring to
rolling close cropped shore fields which
have become the model for all golf
courses. "Bunkers" are really cut
banks such as are found along a
graded country road. Such banks with
sand pits are natural to the Scotch
shore. st. Andrews cut banks are now
artiticially created on golf links wher-
ever golf is played. For many years
the original Scotch course consisted of
II holes, a match being two rounds, or
- holes, but in 1864 it was decided to
eliminate two holes, so today the
standard course is in multiples Of nine.

Progressive Cause Seems
Sweeping the Nation

Washington. - The La Toilette
Wheeler sweep is not confined to any
section Of the country Reports to
the A. F. of L. national non-partisan
political committee indicate its ma
tion-wide scope
The supposed "solid south" has wit
messed the power of the movement,
and in many localities the workers
have declared for the independent
ticket. In defending the Wilmington
IN Co. central body's Endorsement of
La Toilette, the editor of the Union
Record, published in that city, resents
the claim that any one can lead
trade unionists. Wilmington trade
unionists took this action, the editor
said, because La Toilette and Wheeler
"are known friends of labor and are
running on a platform that will give
relief to the masses of America"
State Federations Of Labor or their
executive boards in California, Ari-
Zona, Massachusetts, Iowa, North
Carolina, Vermont, Illinois, Tennessee
and other states have declared for
La Toilette.
Local central bodies are organizing
non partisan clubs to make the A. F.

being contributed to the A. F. of L.

the distribution of literature.
The campaign opens with wide
spread enthusiasm and an absence of
former differences over political meth

A. F. of L. is understood, and workers
everywhere are uniting to make this
policy effective.

LABOR DAY CELEBRATION
On Monday at The Butler County Fair Grounds Proves
One of the Most Successful in the Long History
of Local Organized Labor
Rain and Storm in Evening Fails to Dampen Ard0r of

High Class Attractions Please All

Band on Labor Day. And the best
part of it was, there was plenty of it.
The members of the band didn't seem
to be afraid that they might everyday
themselves. They entered into the
| thing with a zest that was pleasing
They acted just as though they were
interested in the success of the affair
and that they were there to help
make it a success, just as all union
/ members should do. They sure sue
ceeded in adding much to the pleasure
of the day and made big hit with
all present.
For the dancing Willer's famous
| orchestra furnished the music. The
dancing took place in the old music
hall, and the building was packed
throughout the day by the lovers of
| the light fantastic. The building was
always surrounded by the hundreds
unable to get in. Interspersed with
the musical numbers the members of
the orchestra sang songs to which the
dancers tripped. The songs made a
great hit, and Willer's orchestra add
| ed another notch to it's fame column
Then there was the "Rube Quar-
tette," furnished by the Kurtze
Amusement Company. This band of
singers strolled everywhere over the
grounds throughout the day singing
popular, snappy songs which were
much enjoyed by those hearing them.
The Air Circus
The air circus was the big after
noon attraction, and it drew thousands
to the grounds. The air circus was
all that was promised for it. Ser
geant S. G.. Button, pioneer and dare
devil, as he is advertised, surely lives
up to his title. He did stunts in the
air Monday that were really thrilling
and hair-raising An accident occur

ted. In descending after doing his
stunts, Sergeant Buton's pilot, in
order to avoid crashing into lot of
people who foolishly crowded the
course over which the plane was COM
PEELED to run in landing, made a sud-
den twist causing the plane to turn
on its side, breaking one of the wings
and putting the plane out of COM
mission for the day. This meant no
flight in the evening, which was a
disappointment to hundreds. Ser
geant Button wasn't to be blamed,
however; it was the fault of those
crowding the running course.
The Country Store
AS promised in che Press last week
the country store was one of the best
and most complete ever seen on the
fair grounds. More than 5000 prizes
rested on the shelves when Storekeep-
er Ike Jarrett gave the signal that
all was ready for the start-off. Never
has there been seen finer lot of
goods displayed, nor of greater
variety than was to be seen in Ike's
store last Monday. And how the peo-

Early NaUigators Dared
PeriLs of Euery Sort

1t Is little more than 400 years ago
since man made his frst-known trip
around the globe The first voyage
took three years. and they were years
of great pritation and discomfort. The
early successful navigator was j S.
del Cano, a Spanlard. He returned to
port on September 6, 1922. The expe-
dition numbered five vessels. and Of
the $50 pioneers who set sail only 81
returned-ragged and broken. One of
the objects of the adventure was to
test the theory that the earth was
round, and the ships took q westward
course TO discover Il passage to the In
dies. Ferdinando Magellan, Portu-
guese, after whom the straits are
named, was a leading spirit in the ex-
pedition When the task was almost
accomplished he and 40 others were
killed by natives in the Philippine is

RE-SILVERINC DONE
BY KOHLER

A new concern in Hamilton doing
work that will prove of interest to
the housewives is the Kohler labora-
tory at 234 South C street. The work
of the new concern is to re-silver mir
rors, silverware, auto refiectors, puff
boxes; in fact, anything that needs
re-silvering. Heretofore it has been
necessary to send work of this kind
out of the city. Now one can have ii
done right here at home. Anyone
having this kind of work can get ii

pie did scramble to get near enough
to buy The store was cleaned out
early in the evening. Ike was ably
assisted by Bob Service, Bob Fallert
and many Of the Kroger locked-out
clerks headed by Mr.. John Schultz,
second vice president and organizer
for the Retail Clerks International
Protective Association, and who cer-
tainly did put in lot of hard licks
all day Sunday preparing the store,
and all day Monday helping dispose
of the stock. The country store did
much toward entertaining the crowd
Automobile Show
A new feature, and one that took
no little part in the big entertainment,
was the auto show While not on a
pretentious scale, owing to the short
time before Labor Day that the mat
ter was taken up with the local auto
dealers, yet it was of such size and
the displays such as to attract the
attention of thousands, many no doubt
who are prospective buyers. The COM
mittee also admits that, owing per-
haps to it's many duties, the auto
show hadn't been given the publicity
it should have had. The auto show
is a feature the committee should
keep in mind for next year. 1t can
be made big thing and a popular
one at future Labor Day celebrations.
In addition to those mentioned there
were many other forms of enter
tainment, too numerous to mention.
One that always proves popular, es-
pecially SO with the ladies, was Lotto,
or corn game. The tables here were
always surrounded by crowds waiting
for places to get in.
The Fireworks
Labor Day has long been noted for
its beautiful fireworks displays, but
this years display, without doubt,
outdid any previous attempt The
shells were the most beautiful ever
seen in this county. They were SIM
ply gorgeous, and when exploding in
the air brought forth many abs and
obs from the thousands of spectators.
The A. l.. Due Company, of Reading,
Ohio, furnished the display and did
all that they promised when they said
everyone would be satisfied with the
display they would furnish.
The Auto Winner
The auto given away this year went
to Charles Fallert, the popular ma
chinist living in Lindenwald 1t was
a great disappointment to thousands
that auto luck lightning didn't strike
them, but all that can be said is
"better luck next time"
1t was one big day for local organ
lied labor and friends.

MIDDLETOWN
HOLDS OUTING

The progressive members of the
Central Labor Council and the labor
unions of Middletown, gave their an
nual outing at LeSourdsville, Labor
Day. All kinds of amusements and
games were enjoyed by the large
crowd that had gathered there. Many
people of Hamilton went there fof
the bathing and other features of the
picnic. From reports of the Middle
town committee the same was finan-
cial success.

One of the most successful Labor
Day celebrations ever staged by Ham
ilton organized labor was that held at
the Butler county fair grounds on last
10000 men, women and children pass
ed through the gates of the spacious
grounds some time during the day, to
pay respect to the hosts of labor
With weather conditions favorable
for outings up until early evening,
when the storm broke and light rain
fell, there were many family gather
ings scattered throughout the big
fair grounds with their lunches spread
under the big shade trees, until
shortly after the noon hour the
grounds were well packed by the cele-
brants, eager to take part in the
games and contests and witness the
various attractions provided by the
committee.
And no one was disappointed who
was looking for pleasure. Never be-
fore was there such fine program
prepared for local Labor Day cele-
bration as that which the committee
in charge this year had provided. The
various attractions as provided by the
committee for the entertainment of
the thousands present were high class
and far above the average. The only
thing to mar the pleasure and sue
cess of the day was the storm and
rain which visited this vicinity shortly
before seven o'clock in the evening
The wind came suddenly with a roar
through the big trees on the grounds
and great cloud of dust that fright
ened many of the woman and children,
causing them to leave the grounds by
hundreds. The wind was followed by
a light rain, but which soon stopped,
and shortly thereafter the stars were
shining brightly and soon everything
was again in fine running order and
what, for a time, looked like the fin
ish of the evening entertainment
proved only the beginning.
While at the time of the storm
many left the grounds, shortly after
the skies cleared the crowds started
coming again, until at the peak time
it is estimated the largest crowd ever
on the fair grounds at night was
present. And from then on how every
body seemed to be enjoying them
selves. Young and old, all seemed
to be having the time of their lives.
1t took some Of the old timers back
to the celebrations of former years
when all that was looked for on Labor
Day was good time, and everybody
would find it.
Music and Songs
The Let's-Go Band, Hamilton's
newest band, made big hit with the
big crowd by it's rendition of musical
numbers that appealed to all classes
Lovers of classical, jazz and popular
airs had no complaint to make of the
music served out by the Lets-Go
