ENTERTAIN OUR GUESTS

Let US not forget, in the hurry OF
the busy season, that the annual
meeting of the Illinois State Fedora
ton of Labor will be held here IN
September, and that over 1000 dele
gates will be in attendance.
The eyes of the laboring people OF
Illinois is upon the Twin Cities. Inc
impression they receive of us is the
impression we will give to them.
Whether or not the delegates will
report back to their locals that they
had a rotten time or the best time OF
their lives depends upon the way we
treat them while they are our guests.
Champaign Urbana is known all
over the state as the strongest union
center in the midwest. Its method OF
combating open shop propaganda a
few years ago with PUBLICITY has
made these two towns the talk, union
ally, of the entire state, so much SO
that local officials have been asked to
outline the entire plan to the forth
coming convention.
So let's uphold our reputation as
unionists. Let's provide plenty OF
clean sport and entertainment during
that great week. 1t may cost lot oil
Jack, but the benefits We will derive
will be well worth all we put into IT.

that there is something lacking in our
community makeup. There is some
thing missing that should be an inte-
grail part of every community-a har-
monizer, you might call it--an organ
ization that would bring a better un-
derstanding between those whose IN
terests are different, who live within
our borders. And this harmonlzer
should start in the store, between EN-
ployer and employe, and extend to the
community, between employer and
employee. 1t should take the form,
the writer believes, of weekly get
togthers in the stores and monthly
get -togethers of the community inter
ests. Meetings where the merchant
could show the buyers where the
Trade at Home" idea would be OF
benefit to the buyer, and where the
buyer could show the employer the
same thing.
When this is done, Twin City busi-
ness will grow and prosper and TWIN
City labor will grow and prosper.

Cigar Makers Wages
Are Low In Cuba
By International Labor News Service.

J. Tobin, president of the Brother
hood of Transfers, recently paid
visit TO Cuba for the purpose of look
ing into trade union conditions IN
that city,
Among the industries inspected In
Havana were several cigar factories,
the railroad mems organizations and
the headquarters of the Cigar Makers
Union. II went through the Corona
cigar factory" President Tobin said,
"where there are about $50 men and
$50 women employed. The cigar
workers work piece work and average
from $2S TO 1872 week. They are
fully organized. The women are or
ganized into a separate union and
prepare the tobacco for the cigar
makers. In the United States we call
| them shippers or sorters. Their
wages and hours are depressing.
| found there old women, some of them
| 10 years old, and young girls, some
not over IA, working for a wage vary

and Sl.25 a day. In talking with one
old woman she said she had worked
| in the industry for many years and
averaged about 81 a day, working IL
/ hours a day. | found the buildings
where they worked quite sanitary for
tropical country. From the wages
paid to the organized workers you
can imagine about what the morgan
lied laborers receive in wages"
President Tobin said Cuban labor
officials gave the American visitors a
dinner and that the Americans ex-
planned that the leaders of labor in
America and the labor movement in
general wished to be helpful to the
Cuban workers in every way possible.
The hope was expressed by Cuban
labor leaders and others that that
country would pattern its labor or
CARNATIONS after those in America.

In his recent book on the Labor
Policy of the United States Steel Cor
poration," DR.. Charles A. Gulick, Jr.,
instructor of economies in Columbia
University. New York City, reaches
the conclusion that the corporation
uses its welfare work to
combat trade unions.
After declaring that the corpora
ton refuses the Legitimate claim
of workmen to bargain collectively
wages, hours, and condi-
tions of work." DIR. Gulick takes up
the concerns housing plan, pension
system, and employe stock ownership
scheme as typical welfare work used
against labor organization.
"Since housing programs fufnlsh
ideal weapons for crushing organlza-
ton campaigns" declares DR.. Gulick,
'fn localities where a considerable
portion of the corporations employees
live in company houses those EN-
ployes can not be as independent as
if they were living in their own
homes.
Even more obviously available for
fighting unions and for limiting indie
pendence and initiative is the stock
subscription plan.
"The buyer gains most, not by re-
tanning his shares permanently, Dut
by holding them no more than the hve
years during which he receives extra
dividends and accumulates an interest
in the fund created by the failure of
some subscribers to qualify for the
extra dividends.
an order to qualify the subscriber
must have been continuously in the
employ of the corporation or one Of
its subsidiaries in the year preceding
the payment of the extra dividend
and must have shown proper in

1850 Lose Jobs;
Dividends Raised

New York, May 5.--The industrial
insecurity of railroad workers is APP
parent in figures relative to the de
crease in railroad employees in 1873
compared with 1920, made public by
the committee on public relations OF
the eastern railroads.
Basing its figures on the annual re-
port of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, the committee states that in
1920 the average number of employees
on Glass | steam railroads decreased
from 1922, 1892 in 1920 to 1,S55,26O in
1923, reduction of 1880 In the
working force.
At five to the family, these lay-otfs
mean that S37,S50 persons were
thrown into economic insecurity and
in many instances their lives wrecked
by the firing process. The discharges
were one of the inevitable by-products
of increased efficiency due to the sub
stitution of larger cars and locomo-
tives for those of smaller capacity.
There is another reason. The dizzy
to railroad stockholders was small in
1920, amounting to only $27l,73l 500,
while in 1923 it was raised 297,513,-
229, an increase of $25,7S2,560. A
considerable portion of the dividend
boost may be attributed to economies
resulting from discharging 1880
men and coercing those who remain
into doing extra work.
But what it little matter like
1877, $40 workers thrown into the army
of the unemployed with the conse,
quent suffering for themselves and
their families, when it is question OF
padding the already stuffed pockets
of the railroad magnates with $685.

Last Notice

This Is the last notice of the John
ston family reunion and the home
coming of the relatives and friends at
MiddlebroOk on Sept. 3rd, 1925.
To give the public an idea of the
magnitude of this affair will state
that close check-up of the descend
ants of my fathers family, living and
dead, with the inter-marriages l find
451. There are seven of the Johnston
brothers and sisters who settled in this
county i'm 1S49 and my father i'm 1850.
All reared their families in the county
and all of the older ones have gone to
their rewards. The brothers and sis
ters had like families as my father.
Recounting them as to my fathers
family there has been more than 5000
by birth and marriage came into the
family in this country, and further,
there was one more in my mothers
family, the Spencer's. than were in
fathers family and they were equal
ly prolific just One-half of these came
to this country and reared families
and lived and died here. RecOunting
from our check up of both families we
have total of more than 5000 souls
that sprang from my grand parents,
the JOhnstOns and Spencers, in a little
more than so years. No wonder this
country grows. A number of our
Spencer relatives from Tennessee are
coming to attend this home coming.
Our own family is badly scattered.
They will come from New Mexico,
Texas. Oklahoma and from all over
Arkansas and Missouri, so with the
thousands of relatives and friends in
this and adjoining counties | think a
very conservative estimate Of the crowd
we may expect would be at least 5000
people on this occasion.
SO the call is, come on everybody
and bring your lunch and we will make
it the greatest occasion of the KIDD
ever staged in this part of tho coun-
try.
Gan aboard for MlddlebrOok on Sept.
3rd.' G. G.. Johnston.

erty here and announces that he will
begin buying next week.
The crop is fully three weeks ahead
Of last year and according to latest
reports is going to be considerably
shorter. In some sections of the coun-
ty the crop will be extremely light.
The northeastern part seems to be
about the hardest hit, while west of
Elevenpoint river conditions are much
better. Black river bottoms, where a
month ago the prospect was good, re-
ports are that less than half crop
will be picked. DrOuth and hot winds
are responsible for the deterioration.

Supply Barn Burned

A tenant house on the farm Of Rex
Fowler, near Supply, filled with new
hay was burned last Friday night
Sheriff Perrin was notified of the fact
and informed that the fire was posi-
bly, of incendiary origin. Mr.. Perrin
sent to Newport and secured a couple
of bloOdhOunds which he took to the
place where the fire occurred. The
dogs took up the trail and backtracked
to "A brush arbor where revival meet
ing was in progress, but could follow
the trail no farther in any other direc-
ton than to the road which passed
within few yards of the house. There
had been much travel on the road after
the fire which, the officers think, pre-
vented the dogs from following the
trail farther.
