The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1925-09-04

Unusual progress has been made by
the organized workers since Labor
Day, 1924.
In previous years we have reported
material gains. This year is no er-
ception to the rule. In addition,
however, we can report a wider ac-
ceptance of principles that the organ
lied workers urge.
Among these is our claim that
higher wages make possible a strong
purchasing power and that this min
imizes unemployment and lengthens
the cycles of business prosperity. A
greater number of our citizens are
awake to the evils of low wages and
depressed living standards of wage
earners that eventually affect the en-
tire nation.
Since Labor Day, 1924, increasing
attention is being paid to waste in
industry and in our natural resources,
and to losses through accidents and
occupational sickness and preventable
disease. Vast sums are annually lost
to society by employers who ignore
these wastes while they insist that
they should be permitted to reduce
the consuming power of the nation

exploitation of children unnecessary.
If Americas future citizens are to be
strong limbed and clear Drained, the
children of today must be placed in
the playground and school room, not
in the workshop.
The principle of collective bargain
ing is now correctly estimated. Citi-
zens outside our movement are under
standing that this involves more than
setting wages and regulating shop
conditions; that it assures freedom
of faction to workers and that it is
the first step in democracy in indus
try that must be established if rela-
tions between employer and employed
are to approximate continuous peace.
On the political field an increasing
number of citizens are accepting la
bor's opposition to political PARTISAN
ship. For years the organized work
ers pleaded against the evils of this
policy now so generally acknowledged.
Only recently an able and thoughtful
United States senator referred to the
practice of Standing by the party"
as 'foolishness."
At no time in the nations history
has party discipline rested so lightly
on our citizens. This is the forerun-
ner for legislation of benefit to all the
people, rather than to cabals and

and to increase the possibility of acci-
dents and disease by lower working
and living standards.
Another significant change is la
boris attitude toward the financial
record of employers who would estab-
lish unfair conditions. Workers are
not only showing where waste can be
eliminated, but they are publishing
the profits of employers who have
heretofore kept this information
secret The workers are Offering stat
istical proof that industry can pay
wage that BELTS American labor.
The past year has been marked by
an especially vicious attack on So
cial and legislative proposal-the
federal child labor amendment.
Probably no question since the war
between the states has beeen subject
to so much Misunderstanding and
misrepresentation as this proposal.
Labor has charted it's course in this
contest. The workers have suffered
too many temporary defeats before
final victory to be discouraged in this
case

placing machinery should make the

The outlook for social progress was
never brighter, and it is safe to as
sumo that the coming year will record
marked material and intellectual adj
vances by the wage workers and the
people as a whole.

is needed to establish peace and confidence, and
the only way to put it across is to live in it.
The interests of capital and labor are mutual but
the hair of the fellow who directs activities will
whiten quicker than that of the man who executes
orders.
We can't all be backsmths, and neither can all be

More Road
improvements
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Contract has been awarded to w.
R. Thompson, of Whitehouse, for
rebuilding the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Road for S33,209.19. Work is to be
commenced Immediately, and on its
completion there will be an i'm
proved highway connecting this city
with Frenchtown.
This stretch of road has never
been improved and has blocked traf-
fic in bad weather. From this city
the only other road to Frenchtown
is via Pennington, which adds about
nine miles to the journey. Many
motorists have travelled the Pennsyl-
vania River Road between these
points, but there has been bad
detour on that side of the river
near Uhlertown which made it a
difficult route. This detour was
caused by fight between the
State Highway Commission and the
Lehigh Canal Co.
The work on the River Road be-
low Lambertville is progressing and
in a few weeks will be open to
travel. Traffic is now detoured over
the hill, and it is hard travelling.
The pavement on this stretch is to
be of Kentucky Asphalt, which is
laid cold, and thus time is saved on
opening it to traffic.

Nesg POaper Line
To Glen Gardne,
When viii They Run One To
Lambertville?

The New Jersey Power & Light
Company announces the installation
Of a new 110,000-volt electric trans
mission line from Holland to Glen
Gardner. 1t was put into service
Sunday before last. This is the new
est link in the $50 miles of Penn
sylvania and New Jersey lines con-
Meeting Easton, Reading, Dover
and their plant on the Susquehanna
near Harrisburg.
The new line is II miles long,
and cost 100000, in addition to
$4,000 for increasing the Glen
Gardner sub-station to 5000 watts
capacity. From this station service
is supplied to Lebanon, Pennington,
Stockton, Lambertville and other
intermediate towns.
It would be more interesting news
to these towns to be informed that
a dependable transmission line had
been run from Glen Gardner/instead
of to it. Every wind or rain storm
causes interruptions of service along
this line.

Nv ACCORD WITH
THE PRESIDENT

Therefore, the Washington Confer
ence was called in which we saw
the. Anglo-Japanese Alliance was
abolished and the Nine Power Treaty
was adopted and totally ratified no.
long ago. What does all this mean
1t means one and only one thing
namely, as long as the relations be-
tween China and the other power
are not adjusted on the basis o.
goodwill and international justice,
there remains the root for anothet
war under whose destruction the
civilized world will go back to tn :
Dark Ages!
What has been the relationship
between China and the other pow
ers? The relationship has been one
of injustice. England forced on China
war in 1912 and dictated the
Making Treaty. England and Franco
precipitated the War of 1857 and
did some very low-handed highway
robbery through the forced accep-
lance of the Treaty of Tientsin
Then came the Sino-Japanese War
in 1895 and another chapter of in
justice was added to the history OF
Chinese humiliation. Worst of all
the European countries, styling
themselves as civilized countries,
wanted the balance of power in Asia
and they made China the victim by
helping themselves with Chinese sea
ports and hatbors. Then the Boxer
incident of 1900. The protocol of
1901 only showed the sense of in
justice of the self-styled civilized
countries. Thus one chapter after
aother was added to the sad history
of the Chinese nation!
How do the people feel about
these things? They have been hum
iliated and they are going to plead,
and if need be, fight for justice. To-
day, nationalism in China is going
strong. Students at home, in Europe
and in America, are organizing
themselves and dedicating their un-
firing efforts to the uplift of China.
Societies, both secret and open, are
numerous; yet, they are all one in

PRESERVE CHINA'S SOvER-
EIGHTY" SAYS COOLIDGE

Swampscott. Mass, President
coolidge's attitude in regard to
China be carried out by the nations
who signed the treaties and reso-
lutions.
The President is anxious that
the sovereignty of China be pre-
served, that it may maintain a
stable government, that the "open
door, in China be maintained, and
that the different nations refrain
from seeking special privileges in
China, privileges that would rather
tend to abridge the rights of other
nations. Back of the Presidents posi-
ton is the thought that quoting
down of conditions in China will re-
suit not only in bringing about
peace ain that part of the world
but will also aid in the rehabilita-
ton of the world from an economic
standpoint. Better conditions in
China mean better markets for every
nation in the world
