A scrap of a yelowed old news
paper of sixty-fve years ago was
bragsht into the Office the other
been cut into a pattern for a wo-
mans dress Of those good old
days"
And it was significant that the
first item in it to catch the eye was
an editorial headed Happy Women"
A testimonial to the Woman who
cut it's pages into pattern for her
modest garment! A testimonial to
all those women whose lives were
devoted to their homes and their
children!
Yet this testimonial would be
ieered at by the sophisticated fe-
males of today whose satirical lives
are.a succession of restless uneas-
mess and tangled nerves, They would
sarcastically dub those "Happy Wo-
men" as "Pollyannas!" But there is
something naively divine in this
thought of the "old-fashioned wo-
man." Here it is:
"a happy woman! Is not she the
very sparkle andd sunshine of life7
A woman who is happy because she
can't help it--whose smiles even the
coolest sprinkling of misfortune can
not dampen. Men make a terrible
mistake when they marry for beauty,
or for talent or for style; the
sweetest wives are those who possess
the magic secret of being eontented
under any and every circumstance.
"Rich or poor, high or low, it
makes no difference; do they live in
a log cabin? the fire that leaps up
on it's humble hearth becomes bright
er than the gilded chandeliers in an
Aladdin palacel"
But mol The average woman of
today can only conceive of such a
woman as being "old-fashioned. The
only Sparkle and sunshine" she
knows is the kind that's sold in
drug store; her main ambition is to
pose as vamp and have men dance
attendance on her-if they're other
women's husbands, so much the bet
ter! Men, to her, are court fools"

"a Conventions Held

In our research for historical data
we have found this to be the oath con-
vention of our brotherhood, including
one special convention in 1918. From
1887 to 1894 the order met annually
no record, however, has been found of
meeting in 1890-and by action of
the 1894 convention, held at the Hav-
lin Hotel in ST. Louis, the conventions
were held bi-annually until 1914, at
which time the convention held in
Winnipeg decided upon triennial con
ventions. In 1918 a special conven-
ton was held in Detroit and an ANAL
gamation convention was held in Gin
cinnati, at which time the Brother
hood of Maintenance of Way En-
ployes, with headquarters at Green's
boro, n c., was amalgamated.

MINERS TO MAKE
Fight on U. S. Courts Dras-
tic Injunction Order

BY international Labor News Service.
indianapolis, Ind. = United Mine
Workers officials will fight the sweep
ing injunction order by Judge McClin-
tic, Of federal court, district of West
Virginia, granted on petition of coal
operators south of the Kanawha
river
The order is extremely drastic and
affects some 800 or more mines. The
injunction was made permanent by
the court.
The court held there was conspir-
acy to restrict and interfere with the
production of coal in the mines in
volved, and that conspiracy existed
between the United Mine Workers and
the operators of the central competi-
tive field to restrain interstate trade.
1t is understood that the United
Mine Workers will appeal from the
order of Judge McClintic. The union
organization has appealed other SIM
liar West Virginia cases and beat
the operators in every instance.

Labor Begins Campaign to Repeal Laws
Restricting Natural Growth Of Industry
COMMUNISM
In Mexico Only Brought
Trouble

Self styled "liberalminded" persons
object to organized labor's attitude
toward Soviet Russia and its boring
from within policy.
The following statement by Rober-
to Haberman, fraternal delegate from
the Mexican Federation of Labor to
the Atlantic City convention of the
A. F. of L., may interest these iber-
ais t?o:
The so-caled labor movement of
Russia has not done anything for Mex
leo but give trouble Not once have
they done a single thing that did not
mean trouble for Mexico Only three
months ago Tcheitchern, the minister
of foreign affairs, in making his an
nual report to some congress of So
viets, said this about Mexico: "It is
a very fortunate thing that we have
diplomatic relations with Mexico. This
will give us the opportunity to use
Mexico as basis of operations on the
North American continent"
"The American Federation of La
bor,' said Mr.. Haberman, sis the only
labor movement that has ever done
anything for Mexico; all others have
been against it. 1t was the labor
government of one of the largest
nations of Europe which broke diplo-
matte relations with Mexico and
threatened war"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1925-11-06

means, among other things, as Mr.
Woll points out, a complete reversal
of the old hostility to trusts. Labor
supported the Sherman law when it
was written; now it wants it scrap
ped, along with the anti-conspiracy
laws which it holds to be heritage
of the Middle Ages.
The resolution calls upon congress
''for the modification of existing legis-
lation tending to prevent the co,
operation between the essential ele-
ments in organizations within indus
try" indorses ''the principles of
thorough organization of all elements
in production" and supports, as ba-
sis for directing policies for prevent
ing misuse of industrial organization,
the principle Of uniform and public ac-
counting at stated periods" in a man
ner to be determined by the depart
ment of commerce, labor, farmers and
business.
Language of Resolution Plain
The language used, it is pointed out,
is type of labor language sometimes
used for diplomatic purposes, but its
meaning is clear to those who have
followed developing labor policy in
this respect. "All elements" includes
labor, trade associations, engineers,
management, finance. The business
Of directing policies for preventing
misuse of industrial organization is
a question of industry imposing upon
itself such regulation, direction and
restraint as will keep the hands of
government off This, labor declares,
can be done only through cooperation
of all elements, organized and work
ing together through representatives.
Laws that prevent this are, with Mr..
Hoover's help, to be combatted and
removed, if possible.
Thus opens a fight on antitrust
laws, laws restricting trade associa-
tions and laws that make certain
! kinds of association in industry a con-
spiracy and felony. This action was
one of labor's ways of stating that it
believes the end of an industrial era
has been reached and another begun.

BREAD SCARS
AS Wheat Prices Fall and
Montreal Labor Seeks
Cause

By International Labor News Service.
Montreal Steps are being taken
to obtain a government inquiry into
charges that an illegal bread combine
exists in Montreal The matter was
discussed at length at the last meet
ing of the local Trades and Labor
Council, the executive committee be-
ing instructed to proceed with vigor.
Delegates declared that there was
no doubt Of the existence of bread
trust, the only question being whether
its operations were being carried on in
defiance of the Canadian anti-combine
act.
What has aroused Montreal labor is
that bread prices recently advanced
sharply while wheat prices were fall
ing. Though Montreal is now the
greatest grain-shipping port in the
world, retail bread prices here are
double the prices in England.
At present No. ] northern wheat is
quoted at under $1.30 per bushel, yet
bread prices are considerably higher
than they were during 1919, when the
quotation for wheat for the whole
year was 1921. A 40 per cent de-
crease in the price Of wheat, yet an
advance in bread prices. Wholesale
prices of breadstuffs are now 1874 per
cent above the 1913 average, though
wheat is only 49 per cent above the
1913 average.

Maintenance Of Way Union

To Workers, Records Show

By International Labor News Service.
Detroit, Mich-Under the direction
of Fred H. Fljozdal, grand president
of the United Brotherhood of Mainte-
nance of Way Employees and Railwya
Shop Laborers, a history of the
brotherhood is being prepared, in ac-
cordance with instructions given at the
organizations recent convention. The
convention provided for the office of
historian and it is planned to have a
detailed history written.
The great benefits that the brother
hood has brought to maintenance of
way workers will be brought out in
the history, This subject was touched
upon by President Fljozdal in giving
brief history of the organization in
his report to the convention.
when our brotherhood was first
started" President Fljozday said, 1--WE
had no 8-hour day. According to rec
ords, section f,rces worked from 4:3O

nights, Sundays and holidays The
road master was the grievance COM
mittee, and seniority or promotion
determined by the size of our financial
donations left under the ends of a
switch tie In fact, when we read of
the low wages received and conditions
under which maintenance of way men
had to work before we organized, we
are persuaded to uncover our heads
and lift our faces to high heaven in
thanksgiving for the lives of the men
who had vision and courage to lay
the first foundation upon which our
great brotherhood is built 1t is up
to US who now live and those who
come after US to carry their work to
a fuller completion, and in this strug-
gle be encouraged by the knowledge
of the great sacrifices and service of
these early trail blazers"
In outlining the history of the
brotherhood, President Fljozdal said:
"It is now practically "a years since
the II section foremen met in St.

APPRENTICE SYSTEM
Under Wisconsin Law
Proves Big Success

BY international Labor News Service
Madison, Wis. Wisconsin's ap-
premiership system established by
law in 1915 as result of the joint
efforts of journeymen and employers
has proved very successful, according
to the biennial report of the indus
trial commission of Wisconsin.
Under this law all minors who re-
ceive instruction in trade as a part
of their compensation for employ
ment must be apprenticed under an
indenture specifying the amount and
kind of training to be given, and APP
proved by the industrial commission.
The commission supervises the train
ing of the apprentice and enforces the
terms of the agreement.
Virtually every one of the larger
manufacturing Plants now employs a
supervisor of apprenticeship and in

premiership mas neeH dppolHtcu ny eHc

Of the state are giving support to the
scheme.
Up to June 80, 1924, nearly 1000
apprentices had completed training
periods averaging four years each and
had received certificates of gradua-
tion from the industrial commission.
On that date 1850 agreements were in
force, involving about 70 occupations.
