CINCINNATI
CORRECTS
FAULTS
Ohio City Is Latest Mu-
nicipality to Adopt City
Manager Form of Gov
ernment-,Local Poll
tics Routed.
By FELIX F. BRUNER

EDITOR Inc Indianapolis Times
Cincinnati is the latest big
city to abandon the political
form of city government and to
adopt the business-like city
manager plan.
Last June there was in exist
ance in Cincinnati an organiza-
ton known as the "Birdless
Ballot League. = The purpose of
the league was to bring about
comparison elections-in other
wards, to remove the birds, the
Democratic rooster and the Re-
publican eagle, from the city
ballots. It did not anticipate a
change in the form of govern
ment.
Then a Cincinnati newspaper, The
Post, took up the fight not only for
a ''birdless ballot" but also for a
eity-manager form of government,
the same form that is used by other
big business corporations.
The movement was taken up by
a committee OF five of the leading
citizens of the city, who were joined
shortly by the Birdless Ballot
League. The movement spread
rapidly.
Petitions were printed aid sigma
lures obtained by hundreds of per-
sons. Civic clubs and womens clubs
took it up. The result was that
within an incredibly short time 22,-
900 signatures OF voters who de-
sired a city manager. form OF gov
ernmeait were obtained. Under the
law only $4,000 names were neces-
sary.
Referendum
These names were filed with the
city council, which ordered refer
endum at the general election last
November. But the council, being
political, attempted to confuse tn is
sue by presenting at the same time
two other proposals to amend the city
charter. But despite their efforts
their two proposals were voted down
and the city manager proposal was
successful.
Thus, five months after the move
ment was started Cincinnati had de-
cided to put its city government on
a business basis. officials have not
yet been elected under the new plan.
Cincinnati is a particularly good
example of what can be done to take
a city away from the domination of
political bossess. for Cincinnati was
boss-controlled If any city ever was.
Same Here
Under the Indiana law Indianap-
oils can do the same thing that Gin
cinnati and 232 other cities have
done. All that is necessary to ac-
complish this is activity on the part
of citizens who wish to see busi-
ness and not politics controlling
factor in the affairs of Indianapolis.
The new Cincinnati charter is
more like that which can be adopted
by Indianapolis than are the char
ters of some other cities, in that 1T
provides for a small city council.
Cincinnati would have a council com.
posed Of nine members, as compared
with a council of twenty-five in
Cleveland. Under the Indiana law
indianapolis, when it adopts the
city manager plan, will have coun-
ell OF seven members.

VACATION Time NEEDED
TO RECOND|T|ON BODY

SEATTLE, Wash, May 21.-Is the
Of swimmin' hole going to see you
this summer? Or will it be the
mountain tops, you will vacation on 7
The seashore Of the country, ca
noe trip, or one by automobile
whatever your vacation is to be this
year-it should be planned just as
carefully as any business deal that
has been put over during the last
year, according to the State Depart
ment of Health.
Vacation time, the reconditioning
period for both mind and body. after
years grind, should be period
especially devised to be both a men
tai and physical stimulant. The man
who has worked in an Office should
plan a vacation which will give him
plenty of exercise in the open air.
The man, on the other hand, who
does a great deal of outdoor work
during the year, with physical labor,
should plan a vacation where he may
be as lazy as he pleases.
In general, q vacation should af-
ford life as much unlike the ordi-
nary routine Of existence, as possible.
The same is true of the vacation
diet, which should be lighter for the
man who usually is doing physical
work, and heavier, when exercise
whets the appetite of the indoors
man.
A successful vacationist never re-
turns to business all tired out, with
a feeling Of needing time to 'rest
up" The indoors man should use
discretion in the amount of exercise
in which he INDUCES.

Labor Proves FraternaI Spirit
CENTRAL BODIES OF JAUREZ AND PAsO. MEXICO AND
UNITED STATES EXCHANGE DELEGATES

Ell PASO, Texas, May 21.-The
joint meeting of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor and Mexican Confed-
Grafton Of Labor in FL Paso and
Juarez has brought about the ex-
change of fraternal delegates be
tween the Central Labor Union of
81 Paso and the Federal Trades Of
Juarez. The Juarez Federal Trades
is the central body Of the Juarez I'M
ionists.
"There is much good work and
many good results that can be ae-
complished through the interchange
of delegates by these two central bod
les" says VIM. ]. Moran, one of the
delegates appointed by the FL Paso
C. L. U. "Not alone for members IN
the organized labor fold, but also
toward getting employment, under
proper conditions, for the many un-
skilled and unorganized workers. Es-
pecially so when one considers work
in the Rio Grande Valley, which is
largely seasonable due to the cotton
and fruit crops"
There is also the question as to
what is to be done about the employ
ment agencies who extract fees from

trade unionism and to point out the
benefits Of purchasing union labeled
goods. Each international union will
cooperate in this work to it's fullest
ability.
The publicity is to be given thru
moving pictures and lectures. Lead
ing men in the organized labor move
ment will be selected to carry on the
work.
Hearty Support Promised
OF the 200 labor officials present
every one gave whole-hearted sup
port to the campaign. The plan was
conceived by the Union Label Trades
Department Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. It was approved by
the Executive Council at its meeting
in Miami in February and the meeting
here gave it the Endorsement of the
entire labor movement.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the national and internal
tional unions by Secretary Treasurer
John w. Hays of the International
Typographical Union, who is also
president of the Union Label Trades
Department, and John J. Manning,
secretary of the department. They
presented facts and figures to show
the wonderful results that would
come from such a campaign.
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor spoke
earnestly in its favor and he was fol-
lowed by Vice Presidents James Dun
can, Daniel Tobin, and Matthew WolI.
Among the other speakers were
President Michael F. Greene of the
United Hatters of America, Presi-
dent George w. Perkins of the Cigar
makers international Union and
President William Hutchinson of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners of America.

former employers.
Present Systems inadequate

former employers.
Present Systems Inadequate
az. Neither the almshouse nor the
present system of our outdoor spoor
relief adequately meet the needs of
these worthy aged. They are costly
both financially and spiritually. An
effective State assistance system APP
peals to us as the only adequate al
tentative under present conditions.
"s. Old age pension systems abroad
are meeting with the hearty approval
of their people and are spreading
everywhere. Recent letters from
abroad to the commission unanimous
ly agree with Philip Snowden, former
chancellor of the exchequer in Great
Britain, that the old age pension acts
are the most popular pieces of social
legislation ever passed in their re-
spective countries.
Cost Would be Moderate
"Based upon as accurate and scien-
tifie figures as are ascertainable, we
find that even If every aged person in
the State, qualified under the law,
would be given assistance the cost
would not amount to more than, APP
proximately, $5,OOO,O 900 year, or
about 81 cents for each citizen in the
State. This is a big sum of money
until it is recalled that for this sum
we would be able to take care Of
three. times the number of persons
now taken care of .inS our almshouEef
which expenditures, If everything be
included, amount to at least $8,000,-
600 a eyar. We firmly believe that
there is not citizen in this common
wealth who would not rather be will
ing to pay his 81 cents, which is but
Sc cents per 81 900 taxable property
and only "a cents per $1,000 wealth
of the State-even if these were ad-
ditional, which happily is not the
case-than be responsible for the
tragedies and heartbreaks now caus-
ed by the prospect of the poorhouse
after lifetime of toll and service.
Administrative Cost Low
Gwen under liberal estimates, we
are convinced, from studies Of the
facts, that under the present law a
fund of 100000 a year would not
require for administrative expenses
for both State and countless sum
to exceed 100000 per year, which is
but per cent of the total, as against
almost 80 per cent under the county
almshouse system. The cost for in
vestigation per applicant in the 20
counties from which figures were OBJ
tanned shows that the average cost
per applicant amounts to $1.04, OF
less than Al cents per 500 allowed"

You

No man or woman can make mis-
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says a well known authority.
Eating too much rich food creates
acids, which excite the kidneys. They
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the
waste and poison from the blood.
They viii get sick. Rheumatism,
headaches, liver trouble, nervousness,
dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary
disorders often come from sluggish
kidneys.

the unsuspecting Mexicans. Fernin
C. Gonzalez, fraternal delegate to the
Fl Paso c., L. u. from Juarez, says:
First and foremost to be tackled
is the Turing Of the Mexicans to this
side by the employment agencies who
simply rob these poor people by ex-
acting high fees. After they can get
no more money from them they are
turned adrift which causes them as
well as other workers much hard
ship"
On May 1, which was observed as
Labor Day in Mexico, the .Juarez Fed
Grated Trades held big celebration.
In the morning there was a parade
and the evening was celebrated with
a meeting at which both Americans
and Mexicans spoke.
Both unions are enthusiastic over
the outcome of this friendly relation.
Delegates to the Juarez Federated
Trades from the FL Pasco c. L. u.
are: VIM. ]. Moran, John L. Haus-
valid, Charles Wagner, Fred J. Shil-
ling, w. H. Davis, V. Cascina, and

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 21.-
An organization campaign that will
extend the length and breadth of the
United States and Canada and will
be backed by the united strength Of
every bona fide trade union organiza-
tion in the two nations was launched
here at joint Meeting of the Execu-
tive Council Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, the presidents and Sec
retaries of the Federation's four de-
partments and 108 national and in
ternational unions.
The campaign is to be the most
extensive drive ever conducted by
the American Federation of Labor to
bring thu unorganized wage earners
into the labor movement. No effort
will be spared to present the aims
and principles of trade unionism to
unOrganized workers and it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the campaign
will add new members by the tens Of
thousands to the national and interna-
tional unions.

AGED PAUPERS NOT
TO BLAME FOR THEIR
DEPENDENT STATE


HARRISBURG, Pa, May 21.-
Based upon a study of nearly 5000
aged persons who have fled their ap-
plications under the Pennsylvania old
age assistance law, recently declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court Of thatsState, the Pennsylvania
Old Age Assistance Commission in it's
report to the Legislature just publish
ed summarizes its conclusions as fol-
lows:
al. Although over 80 per cent of
the applicants are native born, the
average total possessions of the ap-
plicants examined is less than $24 per
person while the average amount Of
savings is only $6.75 per applicant.
"2. Three out of every four appli-
cants are without any remunerative
occupation and dependant for support,
"S. While the children Of the appli-
cants, in however humble conditions,
were generally found to make every
effort to support their pahentsl these
children were in many instances in no
position to do so because of the in
adequacy of their own income and
the size Of their families. Not infre-
quently these parents were supported
at the expense of their own children's
welfare.
Many are ChildIess
"a. Many aged men and women who
have no children to help them are al
ready supported either by their re-
spective poor districts, private charity
organizations, or private Individuals
in other words, with moneys coming
from the taxpayers.
"5. That many of the aged, with but
slight assistance from the State, could
find adequate homes has been fully
brought out by our Investigations.
"6. A perusal of our findings will
prove conclusively that in the great
majority of instances the failure to
adequately protect themselves in old
age was not due to individual malad-
justment or blame but were a result
of conditions and circumstances over
which these unfortunate aged had no
control. This is fully supported by
the statements of facts, the testimo-
mails of the county boards and their

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2f.
The U. s. Department of Labor has
made survey Of the wages received
by men and women in industries
which are large employers of workers
Of both sexes.
AS a result of the survey it is
shown that the hourly rates Of men
workers exceed the rate paid women
workers, even where both are listed
- doing the same class of work.
It was found also that the advance
in the hourly rate for women en-
ployes since 1914 roughly equaIled
the advance in the wages Of men,
reckoning on a percentage basis.
The average wage Of women in the
cotton industry is 35 cents an hour
and that of men SO cents an hour.
