WHAT KIND OF PUBLIC
SENTIMENT?

In discussing wage differences be-
tween anthracite operators and mine
workers, a Washington correspondent
says:
"The biggest weapon which the
president has at his command today
in any efforts he may make to bring
about an adjustment of the contro-
versy over anthracite is the force of
public sentiment"
To the above, workers will ask:
What kind of public sentiment?
Is it to be another wave of terror
ism that marked the nationwide steel
strike? That strike was caused by
the steel trusts refusal to meet a
committee of it's workers to discuss
working grievances.
At that time Judge Gary said he
favored the "open shop"-he wanted
to bargain with each individual work
er. He refused to recognize any form
of collective action by his employees
The steel trust did not dare go be-
fore the public with the truth. In
stead the public was terrorized by the
story that was shouted from every
side: "The government is in danger" +"
Is that the brand of public senti-
ment that is to bs used against the
miners?
The steel trusts tactics were re-
peated in the shop mems strike, and
this made it possible for Daugherty,
then the attorney general, to use
every power of government to aid the
railroad managers.

HIGH WAGES
Rule For Organized Women
in New York Industries

By international Labor News Service.
Albany, N. Y.-The printing and
the garment trades pay the best
wages to women workers, according
to report on the union wage scales
gathered by the state bureau of wom-
ell in industry from the eleven larg-
est cities in the state. Most of the
organized women are in New York
city. Only IL per cent were working
at piecework in the city, while up
state Ga per cent were on piecework
in contrast There were nearly 10000
union women in shops covered by the
survey.
Proof reading was the most lucra-
tive employment, women members of
the international Typographical
Union earning $63 week of 45 hours
at night in New York city and sec
for day work. Linotype machine op-
orators made the same wages. Ma
chine bindery operators made $53 a
week for Al hours in the union shops
in New York city, $44 in Rochester
and SAP in Albany.
Wage scales were high for machine
operators in the garment trades, $55
week being the wage for bonnet
embroiderers, $50 for the 44-houl
week for operator on hats and caps
$44 for operator on waists ano
dress, $40 for ladies' tailor's helper

ONE GOOD LAW

The fight made over the country by
organized labor against rent profit
GERS brought results in the Indiana
assembly, where an amendment was
introduced and finally prevailed pro-
viding that landlords be compelled to
give ninety day notice before rents
could be increased.
Since the housing scarcity workers
living in cheap houses, especially In
the larger cities, have been the worst
sufferers from the rent hogs who
would raise rents a half-doZen times
within year, and the tenants would
be compelled to pay because they had
no other place to go.
Under the Duncan bill all tenancies
of houses or apartments are desig-
mated "tenancies from month te
| month" unless otherwise specifically
designated, and landlords are prev.
| vented from raising rents unless {
ninety day notice is first given.
| Wouldn't that be dandy law fol
this state, and couldn't it be used tt

among the states in the direction of
traffic regulation that will decrease
the crash hazard on the public
streets.
Any single thing that causes a
higher casualty list than America suf-
fered in the world war calls for some
thing more than talk and for some
thing more systematic than the helter-
skelter miscellany of traffic laws and
ordinances that range from the hope
less to the ridiculous, with slight
measure of effectiveness sondwiched
in somewhere.
It ought to be possible and it is
possible to secure, by concerted state
action, uniform and effective traffic
codes throughout the country.
The states can do this if they will
and if they will not, then automobile
traffic must be classified as inter.
state commerce and dealt with accord
ingly The slaughter must stop.
It is, in way, the price of prog
ress, but it is a surplus ond needless

Is the Daugherty hullabaloo to be
repeated in the present instance?
A public sentiment is necessary in
the present controversy, but not the
kind that was manufactured by Gary
and Daugherty
Facts on the mine situation are at
the disposal of the government and all
Others who seek the truth. The
United States coal commission inves-
tigated this question for more than a
year at an expense Of 100000.
Those who were loudest in their claim
for these facts, now ignore them.
That commission reported on the
average low wage of miners, the ap-
palling fatalities and accidents in this
industry and the surplus of workers
who are lured into an industry that
is overdeveloped that has too many
workings to supply fixed demand.
Public sentiment, based on facts
should be welcomed by every one.
A public sentiment that is manu-
factured by privilege is not only un-
fair, but it is unhealthy. 1t indi
Gates that too much power is in the
hands of few, and it intensifies ar
issue that must eventually be squarely
and honestly faced.

STANDARD OIL BOSSES
GRANT EIGHT HOURS?

New York-The Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey announces the
adoption of the eigth-hour day in it's

eight-hour day effective is accompan-

CHANCE FOR GLORY

About the most disgraceful thing in
the city today is the short stretch of
Monument avenue, between High and
Market streets, the worst stretch Of
street in Hamilton-so far as motor
lists who are compelled to drive over
it are concerned. Right before the
city hall where our city officials are
compelled to view it day after day
without any apparent attempt being
made to remedy the situation. The
mayor, service director and members
of city council ought to be made to
drive over this short stretch of street
at least once each day. That ought
to be enough to jar something in the
thinktank of one of them enough to
start action of some kind that will
lead toward the streets improve
ment. The official who will start
something here will secure the ever
lasting gratitude of the motorists VINO

NEEDLESS MOTOR SLAUGHTER
Motor cars caused the death of So
persons and the injury of 1880 each
day in 1924. In the year $4,000 were
killed and 100000 injured. That is
equivalent to wiping out the popula-
ton of city like Waukegan, ILL.,, or
Greenville, Texas. The injured ex-
ceeded the population of the national
capital.
This is an appalling loss of life,
and one that calls for concerted action

Judge Kohlstaat, of Chicago, sew

thousands of injunctions against la

Another alibi Another reason why
the fanatical element of the United
States can claim non-enforcement of
prohibition! And that alibi would
make a monkey laugh, were not mon
keys too sensible to make such fool
alibis. The alibi has to do with the
utter imbecility of past enforcement
officials. Get that! Conniving of
sworn federal officials. Here is the
answer: When workman "lays down
on his job" it is sabotage, he is
amenable to the law. When an Off
cial lays down on his job, draws a
salary from the people, he is an up
litter. Funny, isn't it, what skunks
can malign the name of the United
States of America, simply because
they are well versed in how to get
easy money!

The KALEIDOSCOPE
By /. c. McCUMBER

When Tennessee passed law pro-
scribing the teaching of evolution, it
was well within its rights of doing so.
The fundamentalists claim there is no
evolution, the modernist claims there
is evolution. For instance, the white
grub that you spade up in your gar
den will be the butterfly of next year,
the pollywog of today will be the
swamp songster of tomorrow, and we
could go on and on. But what is the
use. Once a crab, always crab;
once a grub, always grub; once a
monkey, always a monkey. But per-
nit Luther Burbank to take hold and
we'll bet our last dollar that he could
take some of the monkeys now in
Tennessee and make tadpoles of them
without sweating his collar.
Evolution! Have we not evolved
from the horrible times when it was
recreation for the churchly people to
take you and me and burn us at the
stake? Have we not evolved from
the bigots who held it divine right
to put out your eyes and tear out your
tongue simply because you refused tt
believe that the earth was fiat? Have
| not the workers ever since the time
of Pharaoh striven to throw of
the shackles of self-constituted judges
who opined they were of the holies Of
the holiest; has not the efforts o.
the evolutionists brought about relief
from those who would stifie the very
act of drinking in Gods sunshine, a.
a fundamental of life? The apes ant

THE COUNTY AGENT QUESTION

This regret born of firm belief that every interest is better
