Peculiar "Dark Day"
Neuer Yet Explained

The dark day" is so called on ac
count of a remarkable darkness on
that day, May 10, $780, extending all
over the New England states. In some
places people could not see to read
common print in the open air for sew
eral hours together, says the Spring
field Republican. Birds sang their
evening song disappeared and became
silent, fowls went to roost, cattle
sought the barnyards and candles were
lighted in the houses.
AS to the explanation of this phe-
puzzled. 1t was plain, from the fall
ing of the barometer, that the air was
surcharged with heavy vapor. The
darkness then, it might be said, was
only the result of dense fog, but
the question of the cause of so re-
markable fog was still unanswered.
Large fires may have prevailed that
spring In the forests Of northern New
York and Pennsylvania region at
that time an absolute Wilderness-the
smoke from which was borne through
the upper regions of the atmosphere,
to fall when it came to a locality of
less buoyant air, down to the lower
strata. While it is stated that these
fires might have recently preceded this
day and served as its sufficient cause
there is only presumptive evidence
that they did occur.

LABOR COLLEGE
Started Wednesday Evening
in Fine Manner-Sixty
Enrolled in Three
Classes

With sixty students enrolled in
three classes the Hamilton Labor
College started off in most encour-
aging manner, Wednesday evening in
the junior high school building.
Twenty EIGHT men and one woman
enrolled in the class for public speak
ing and parliamentary law. Profess
sor Gates is instructor in this class.
Professor Gates expressed himself as
well satisfied with the class thus far
and the students seem to take well to
the studies.
On February IL, next class night,
there will be a debate in this class on
the merits of the postal employees
wage increase bill now before con-
gress, with five speakers on each side.
Sixteen men are enrolled in the
English grammar and composition
class. This class will take up the
general study of English grammar
and composition. Professor Ross is
instructor in this class. He is hard
worker and he has laid out plenty OF
work for his students to wrestle with
between sessions. The students, how
ever, took to their instructor and
seem to like the work, and no doubt
will handle all that is given them.
Fifteen men are enrolled in the
class for studying the history of labor
and economic problems. The first
five lessons will deal principally with
the study of the history of trade
unionism in the United States. The
students in this class are enthusiastic
| over their work, SO much so that they
worked longer than the time perioc
prescribed Doesn't sound like the
old time school days, when all the
class listened for was the ringing o
the quitting bell.
Stanley Ogg, the one man to whom
credit is due for the establishing O
a labor college in Hamilton than an.
other man, is tickled to death will
results thus far obtained. Stanle.
says nobody was spanked for beins
bad or not knowing his lessons Wed
nesday night, but that you can't tel
what may come in the future.
There is room for many more stu
dents. The studies will cover
course of 10 weeks, each Wednesda.
night Anyone desiring to bette
his education or brush up little bi
in knowledge that will prove of grea
benefit and value, should get in toucl
with Secretary Stanley Ogg.

Palace Magazine

q. w. Betz, Chief Projectionist.
Mr. Betz is the only member of the
Palace family who has been with the
theatre since it's inception. While
wished on us" originally, it would
take a lot of horsepower and many
inducements to make us part friend
ship today
Mr.. Betz is not only a projectionist
of distinction; he lis one of those
young men you often hear about but
seldom meet, who think of their work
as a profession and the means of
advancement rather than just a live
lihood, a living.
Men who know-film executives.
actors, trade-papers, ETC., all agree
that the Palace theatre not only has
the finest, most modern and up-to-
date projection room, with all the
very latest equipment, but also that
the projection on the screen of the
Palace theatre is the very best; not
only in Hamilton and Butler county
but throughout this entire section of
the country. Eye-strain at the Pal
ace is an unheard-of evil; Mr.. Betz's
conception of projection is that ''tri-
fles make perfection, but perfection is
no trifle"
Warren G. Bisdorf, who has also
been with us for a number of years
is Mr. Betz's assistant in the projec.
ton room And by the way, there's
a standing invitation for you to see
what a real modern projection room
looks like.
The above article appearing in the
"Who's Who at the Palace" page OF
the anniversary number of the Palace
Magazine is a rosy compliment, and {
observing one, to the sterling worth OF
one of Hamilton's most popular uniol
men, Mr. Betz is live wire mem

COMMITTEE NAMED
To Plan Great National
GOmpers' Memorial

BY international Labor News Service.
Washington, d. ca special COM
mittee to have charge of a national
labor memorial to Samuel Gompers
has just been appointed by President
William Green, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, carrying out the in
structions of the executive council.
The committee consists Of Frank
Morrison, Matthew Woll, Daniel j.
Tobin, Frank Duffy and James Will
son, all members of the A. F. of l..
executive council All have accepted
membership.
In letter to international union
officials, notifying them of the ap-
pointment of the committee, President
Green says:
"A number of sporadic, unauthoriz-
ed and self-styled memorial commit
tees already are at work collecting
money under the pretense that funds
so raised are to be used for me-
meorial
"The committee which / have ap-
pointed is the only authorized commit
tee and no others should be recog-
nized in any way. 1t will save our
movement much embarrassment if
you will assist in conveying to your
membership the fact that this COM
mittee has been appointed by author
ity of the executive council and that
it is the only committee authorized to
represent organized labor in this la
Dor of love and esteem. Our move
ment can not tolerate the activities
of unauthorized persons or so-called
committees in connection with this
work"
1t is the purpose to concentrate all
thought and effort on one great ma
tional memorial, rather than on a
multiplicity of smaller and purely To-
cal memorials. The committee holds
its first meeting during the sessions
of the A. F. of L. executive council at
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1925-02-06

1t was moved and seconded that the
council secure clothing, box them up
and send them to the $4,000 families
who are living in tents in West Vir-
ginia. If you have any cast-off
clothing about the house, bring them
to the labor temple.
Dulli, Redmond and Whittlesey
were appointed on a committee to
draw up resolutions condemning the
action of A. w. Brach for the letter
he sent to employers to use out of
town employment offices.
