HOTEL FOR HAMILTON

Hamilton needs hotel back in the
hills with golf link connection like an
automobile in perfect condition needs
a wagon tongue A hotel of that
kind in Hamilton within the next
twenty years, at least, will starve to
death-and within very short time,
at that. The argument put forth that
the modern travelling salesman is
adept to the game of golf and that
a golf course close to hotel would
attract large patronage from this par
ticular trade, as stated in an evening
paper last Saturday, is all bosh. There
wouldn't be enough of this class of
trade coming to Hamilton to support
small boarding house let alone
big hotel, such as it is hoped will be
built in Hamilton, if we once do get
new hotel. What Hamilton really
needs in the way of hotel, one that
will draw enough trade to make it
pay, is hotel built right in the heart
of the city, easy of access and one
where the average travelling man and
travellers in general can get good
meal, a good room with bath, plenty
of sample rooms where the salesman
can display his wares, and every other
convenience to be had in an up-to-date
first-class hotel. But there isn't much
danger of Hamilton getting golf
club hotel, as suggested. The men
who are going to put their money
into the project can see further ahead
than that So the Press predicts.

IDLE WORKERS IN
DALLAS

Dallas, Texas.-This city is crowd
ed with idle workers. A local news

have large waiting lists. The en-

persons and has a waiting list of
nearly 500 jobless men and women.

INTERESTING FIGURES

and Importance In 1926 there were
2,075, 900 persons who left American
farms to go to the cities, while
| 100000 city dwellers left their ur-
ban homes to seek life in the country.
Those figures may mean many things
and quite likely they do. Surely
| there is no one explanation.
Many come to the conclusion that
they will enjoy life more in new
environment. Many are driven to
seek change by circumstances in
which they find themselves. Some are
wanderers returning to the realm of
their first life experience.
If there is any one thing in these
figures of migration that is full of
meaning it is that the masses OF the
people in America are less bound to
any one place than are the people of
any other country.
There is absolute freedom of move
ment in America, and Americans are
more on the move than are the Ger
mans of French or Englishmen. We
still have the "let's go and find out"
spirit, and it is one of the best things
we have
Moss-back tradition will never get j
very tight hold on people that
feels perfectly free to pull up stakes |
an dtry whirl at new game when |
the old one grows tiresome or when
it develops losing streak. May we
preserve this great urge to move on
in search of more satisfaction and |
better things-for that is what it all |
amounts to in the end.

recent announcement by Municipal
Judge Samuel w. Bell that he no

as worthy of consideration whatever,
the accusations and declarations of
anonymous letter writer's, designed to
bring about liquor raids into private

A strike in the anthracite coal
fields would prove profitable to the
operators.
"The operators have everything to
gain by suspension said Chris J..
Golden, president of the Miners
Union of the Shamokin district.
"They have 100000 tons of coal
on hand We want no suspension be-
cause we want to keep our members
working. When they don't work, they
get no pay. The operators will make
large profits through a strike or panic
in the consumers mind"
At the recent tri-district conven-
tion of anthracite miners in Scranton,
Andrew Mattey, president of the Haz-
Teton district, expressed the same
views.
"The. operators claim they have
100000 tons of coal," said Presi-
dent Mattey. "a suspension means
SIC, 100000 more in their pocketbooks.
When the agreement expires and
another has not been made, the mines
will be closed, not by you, but by the
operators. Two weeks later the coal
will begin to move, but not for the
same price Public clamor will send
the price up ST ton. If the sus-
pension continues, it may be that in
stead of paying $18 a ton the public
will have to pay $23.
"The public and the press will
blame the miners and the operators
will get the dough-"
1t can be clearly seen from the
above why the coal operators stand
up so consistently for "the rights and
benefits of the dear public" in their
refusal to meet the just demands of
the miners for fair living conditions
