LABOR PAPERS MISSION

The information and publicity serv-
ice bureau of the American Fedora
tion of Labor calls attention to the
fact that the public press gave very
little of the more important news of
the recent federation and the part
given was that least interesting to the
great body of unionists throughout
the country. This suggests the inn
portance of the labor press, which
alone can carry the salient develop
ment of the great convention to union
ism's great constituency. The feder-
atoms bulletin itself said:
"The daily newspapers simply give
extracts. Therefore, if the great rank
and file are to learn of the actions of
the convention, it must come through
the official and weekly labor press"
More and more the value of labor
journals is being recognized and ap-
preciated. In it's report to the A. F.
of L. convention, the executive coun-
Gil, speaking on this subject, said:
with many questions vitally con-
cerning the workers and the public
unsettled, with open and underground
attacks on the labor movement and
our fundamental American institu-
tions persisting and developing, the
labor papers become sentinels con-
stantly on guard for the instruction
of the masses and their protection
from the predatory economics, polit-
ical and judicial interests who are al
ways at war against the cause of
humanity. Service to the labor move
ment and mankind is the purpose OF
the labor press. We commend their
efforts during the past year and urge
that wholehearted support be given
them for the militant work now call
ing for the mobilization of all our
powers"
That is very fine compliment to
the influence and usefulness of labor
journals, but here is something even
more appreciative and forceful, ex-
pressed by the great Gompers:
''The labor movement owes much to
the labor papers of the country, and
he who Injuries labor paper is a
traitor to the cause"

THE KALEIDOSCOPE
By |. B. McCUMBER

Everybody loves hypocrite-even
the devil-and the church. Some
years ago the churchly hypocrites
were busy burning people at the stake
because those same people did not be-
iieve in the people who were posing as
devout Christly people. Now the
governor of hypocrite state-Massa-
chusetts-states that the officials of
sixty towns in his bailiwick have
stolen some 100000 in the last few
years from the people. Thus it ap-
pears that to sit in official circles and
shout amen" warrants the hypocrites
to try and make the morals for those
who do not STEAL.

THE LAND GRAB

Grabbing of the land by chunks
along the Miami and Erie canal is on.
Several hundred feet north and south
of the Heaton street bridge has been
leased by the state highway depart
ment to Middletown individuals who
are figuring on using part of the land
for filling station purposes. They
plan to build over the canal and re-
move the bridge railing at that point,
saying that County Surveyor Conklin
assured them this permission could be
obtained. How Conklin gets that way
or since when he is authorized to
speak for the county commissioners
we don't know, but it is to be hoped
that Conklin does not permit anyone
to move the county fairgrounds or
Greenwood cemetery in order that a
filling station might be built.

LABOR'S POLICY

Writing in the magazine Success
William Green, president of the Amer.
lean Federation of Labor, states la.
boris policy as follows:
"The outstanding primary factors
in all industrial enterprises are Cap.
ital and Labor.
Complete success can only be OBJ
tanned by, them through understand.
ing and cooperation.
"Then the age-long conflict be.
tween these two forces could be ter
minated, and all other factors in in
dustry could be developed and utiliz-
ed to the highest point Of efficiency.
Modern trade unionism is address
ing itself to these problems of indus
trial cooperation and understanding.
"We do not believe that our common
problems are impossible of solution,
nor do we believe that the obstacles
to be met are insurmountable.
'We refuse to accept the theory
that the differences between capital
and labor, between employer and en-
ploye, are irreconcilable.
sThe bitter and violent conflicts
are always traceable to a disregard
or denial of the common rights of
either employers or employs, when
tyranny is a substitute for justice,
autocracy for democracy, and secrecy
and dictation for frankness and mu-
tuality in industrial relationships

CRUSHING MRS. LANSDOWNE

American wage earners, as well as
all other Americans, want the truth
about the Shenandoah disaster and all
| other army and navy affairs. With
| wide-open doors in the Mitchell inves-
tigation it may be assumed that the
truth will get its chance there.
But can as much be said for the
Shenandoah hearing where the widow
of Commander Lansdowne has just
been a witness?
Slowly the ponderous wheels of the
navy organization rolled over this
courageous woman.
She was pictured as being witness
before the board Of inquiry.
AS such she was not permitted to
have counsel
But Captain Foley, whom she ac-
cused of seeking to induce her to
twist the facts" was allowed to ap-
pear with counsel, because he was
defendant"
1t needs no lawyer to know that
where there is defendant there must
be plaintiff.
In truth, Mrs. Lansdowne was the
plaintiff. But a plaintiff would have
had to be allowed counsel.
And observers in Washington are
asking whether that is the reason
Mrs. Lansdowne was described by the
board as witness" and her counsel
elected from the room.
1t is fact that all who have come
as witnesses to uphold the navy adj
ministration have been welcomed No
blocks have been put in their way.
But Mrs. Lansdowne met differ
ent condition. She was pounded and
grilled and denied the right of coun-
sci. She lodged serious complaint
and she had the courage to go through
with it, But they called her as wit
ness and put her on the grill.
Nor is this all. What has become Of
the civilian witnesses who were the
eye witnesses of the Shenandoah dis
aster? Where have they gone? Why
have they not been called?
For instance: Ernest Sheehan, of |
Cambridge, Ohio, a newspaper man,
United Press correspondent, was on
the scene an hour sitter the crash. |

ELLIS M. POTTER

What can one say of a man who
gives to the city hundred acres of
valuable farming land, right at the
edge of the city limits, for park and
playground purposes, with no strings
attached to his gift other than that
the land must be used for all time to
come only for the recreation and
pleasure of the people? The Press is
not accustomed to handing out bou-
quets of fowery enconiums but,
speaking in the language Of those the
Press represents, we want to say that
the act of Mr.. Potter was a blamed
fine thing to do. Every man, woman
and child in Hamilton, when they
fully realize the bigness of Mr.. Pot
ter's gift will have warm spot in
their heart for this big, generous
giver, to whom the city has much to
be thankful for at this Thanksgiving
time.
Would it be inappropriate at this
time, we wonder, to suggest when it
comes to naming this sure-to-be fine
big park in the near future that it be
called "Potter Park" and in this man.
ner perpetuate the name Of a big,
generous giver in the minds forever

CARPENTERS UNION FIRST

AS it has been IN many other things
Carpenters Local Union No. 637 was
the first to step up and buy stock in
the new hotel which is now assured
for Hamilton. Carpenters Union
bought the first share for $500, and
since then has doubled its subscrip-
tion. This announcement was made
by Frank K Vaughn, chairman of the
hotel committee, at the monday
luncheon meeting of the workers
Monday.
1t seems the question of just who
was the first purchaser of stock had
caused much controversy and discus
sion, and when Chairman Vaughn
made the announcement that the Car
penters' Union was the first buyer it
was received with much enthusiasm
and great demonstration, marking
the popularity of the carpenters or
ganization with the business men of
Hamilton.
1t is gratifying to the organized
workers of Hamilton to know that a
part of their organization was the
first to step forward and help make
the big Improvement for Hamilton
possible, though it is not surprising
that it was the carpenters organiza-
cation to act as the agent.
The carpenters organization never
fails to respond when the call to aid
in any worthy or just call comes. Nor
does the organization wait to be soli-
cited. It does things voluntarily. Nor
