TWILIGHT'S HOUR.
BY ST. ELMO.

1t seems that the hour of twilight
fills the soul with most beautiful Wis
ions. Sometime, somewhere, you
must testify to the self-same truth.
When you cast from your shoulders.
as it were, the trials and petty annoy
ances of the day and give yourself up
to much needed relaxation, there
ensues upon your mental horizon the
sweetest peace and calm that verify
stamps its approval upon your fea-
lures with an Unborn light that re-
fleets great joy of duty well perform
ed. And you are at peace-peace
with God and yourself. 1t is then
that the world seems brighter than
before and that the Supreme Ruler
reveals to you through His people a
glimpse of His divine attributes.
With the last faint rays of light

Packers Bow to
Strong Union
Power of Labor Organization Is
Measured by the Size of
Membership

Chicago, Ill.--Anti-union employ
ers shift their position very quickly
when they are confronted by 1OO
per cent organization Of workers.
This is shown by recent advertise
ment in which the Armour corpora
ton, meat packers, asked for brick
layers, "union only"
The Armour concern treats its
unorganized butcher workman differ
ent. 1t maintains company union"
a spy system, and advises other en-
ployers to uySChristmas turkeys
sold by Armour-for it's workers.
Armour & Co. wants the union
bricklayers, but it does not want the
union packing house worker" says
Dennis Lane, editor of the Butcher
Workman. "In actuality it does not
want either, but might compel the
employment of the union bricklayer.
"The medieval 'might-is-right' idea
controls this concern. 1t bows to it.
AS long as the 'might-is-right' idea
is the prevailing consideration of Ar
mour & Co., and justice is not consid-
cred, workers in the meat industry,
as matter of self-protection, can
not do otherwise than support the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and

Farmers and ShOpmen
Employ Same Tactics

New York-James D. Graham,
writing in The New Leader New
York; tells story of strike a lot
of us knew nothing about. The un-
ion in question wanted closed shop,
it fought strikebreakers, was itself
enjoined by the courts, and finally
concluded a compromise agreement
with the bosses which, however, in
cluded the checkoff or deduction of
union dues from pay checks.
A typical labor case, you'll say.
Just so, but the interesting thing
is that these workers are farmers,
members of the Beet Growers Mar
keting association, and they were
dealing with the Great Western Sug-
ar Refining Co. to whose refineries
they have to send their beets. One
feature of the settlement was the alb
olition of the fire and strike clause
in the contract under which, in case
of fire Or strike, the company might
refuse to buy the beets originally ar
ranged for in the contract. 1t was
alleged that when the company want
ed to take fewer beets it would pro-
woke a strike among the refinery EN-
ployes by reducing wages or some
other means and then blame the strik
ers for the loss to the farmers. The
farmers appear to have discovered the
trick. 1t looks as if the worker on
farm wasn't necessarily so different
from the worker in the factory that
they have nothing in common. Any-
how, according to Mr.. Graham, thew
strike pretty much alike.

State Federation of
Labor Convened
at Steubenville
One of Best Convention Ever in
Session Is the Talk at the
Ohio Branch Meet

The forty-second annual con-
vention of the Ohio State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor convened Aug
ust 10, 1925 at the K. of P. Hall
at Steubenville, Ohio. The meet
ing was called to order at 1875
A. M. by Mr.. A. G.. Johnston,
chairman of the local committee.
The morning session consisted Of
talks by various officials of the Fed
Grafton, touching mainly here and
there on the growth of Organized
Labor since its first state convention
forty-tWO years ago.
Before the adjournment of the
morning session a program was out
lined for the week which was follow
ed: Tuesday, Aug. II, open night, ev-
erybody at liberty to do as you please;
Wednesday, Aug. II, open meeting to
be held at Wells Auditorium, 1880 p.
M; Thursday, Aug. 13, boat excur-
sion at 6:30 p. m.
The afternoon meeting was called
to order by President John P. Frey.
Ae report was called from the COM
mittee on rules and order.
Mr.. Frey then gave an Introductory
talk on President Green and at the
conclusion, when Mr.. Green proceed
ed to platform, great ovation was
given him in the form of deafening
applause. Perhaps the highlight in
President Green's address was his
tribute to the late Samuel Gompers,
wherein he stated that no man has es-
tablished for himself a position of re-
markable leadership equal to that of
the former president of the A. F. of
l.. The entirety of his speech was de-
voted to the fundamentals of the
American Labor Movement as repre-
sented by the Federation and the
problems confronting it. His address
was marvelously instructive one and
militant in ch9Alcter.
On Tuesday IN assail was made on
the courts of the state by the Fed
GRAFTON and many cases cited to eX
pose the corruptness prevalent in
Ohio Legislature.
No little accentuation was placed
by Thomas j. Donnelly, state secre-
tary-treasurer, on the fact that great
precaution should be used by organ
lied labor in the investigation of any
passage by the legislature of any
measure tending to lengthen the term
of judges in the supreme court. He

Goodyear explained the wage re-

Fools the Miners
Organized Workers Are Won
dering When They Will
Wake Up

Denver, Col.-The company union"
of the Rockefeller Colorado fuel and
iron company is used by the manage
ment to again reduce wages. Off
GERS of the union" are circulating a
petition that the company reduce
wages Is per cent "to meet compe-
tition" in its mine production.
Last March wages were lowered 20
per cent with the approval of the
state industrial commission. The
workers were then told that competi-
ton made this policy necessary. Lat
er the company said it was imposs-
ible to meet competition because of
discriminatory freight rates. The in
terstate commerce commission adjust
ed rates to the company's satisfac-
ton.
But he company is still dissatisfied.
1t has discovered that the "competi-
tion" cry brings results, and it is
again using this plea, while it's hand
picked union" directs the fight for a
wage rate that will equal the low 1917
scale.
The company's scandalous policy
Of continually deceiving it's employees
has silenced every champion of COM
pany "unionism" in this state.
The organized workers are asking
the duped employees when will they
wake up.

Election Results
of the Primaries

Victories by great majorities were
evident at the primary election here
Tuesday. On the Democrat ticket for
mayor, Andrew J. Crilly, former may
or of Newark, was nominated as the
new executive by vote of 1881. The
three contestants on the same ticket

entries for mayor: H. H. Scott won
against C. w. Kent by majority of
800 votes. SCOTS vote was l441
while Kent's reached 632.
The dash for president of council

and J. A. Pinkerton. Crawford won
the race, his vote being 1923 as
against Pinkerton's 800.
For auditor, E. E. Hess was nomin-
ated; for city solicitor F. S. Scott
and for treasurer, Jerome Norpell
These races were all uncontested and
on the Republican ticket.
On the Democratic ticket, George
Wolfe won the nomination against
Earl Claggett for treasurer. The
formers vote was 898, the latter's
473. J. D. McNamar won without
struggle for city solicitor, together
with P. W. Faust for president of
council and c. F. Martin for auditor.
The office of councilmen-at large
had no opposition on either ticket.

Bring Them This Way

There is no doubt but that a
large portion of the tourist traf-
fic on the Natioanl Pike could
be induced to pass through New.
ark if the advantages and beauty
Of such a route were brought t.
the attention of travellers.
At present there is one insig-
nificant sign at the junction of
the Pike and Linnville road, and
that is generally overlooked. If
a number of notices were placed
along the National Road before
this road is reached, calling at
tention to the fact that an un-
usually fine paved road leads di-
rectly to Columbus and enters
that city on Broad street, it's
principal residential thorough
fare, passing through Newark
and the classic village of Gran
vile, the home of Denison Uni
versity, one of the leading Bap-
tist colleges of the country, it
would no doubt divert much Of
the travel that way, and Incl
dentally bring a number of mon
ey spenders to this city.
Such a plan, which would cost
SO little, is surely worth a trial,
as many tourists, tired of the
monotony of the National Road,
would gladly embrace the oppor-
tunity of the change thus pre-
sented.

Keep Your Money Home
g:
WITH
APOLOGIES

A happening in another town
was recently related to the
"IIired Man which applies eQu-
ally as we'll to Newark.
A prospective customer en-
tered leading store in search Of
a needed article, which was pric-
ed to him at twenty-five dollars.
This brought forth a kick, the
customer stating he could dupli-
cate the purchase at mail or
der house for five dollars less.
"All right" says the dealer. "IN
make you the same price under
similar conditions. You give
me your check for twenty dol
lars, and a dollar or two extra
for express charges; then write
me a letter ordering the article,
stamp and mail it to me. Then
in three weeks you will get your
stuff"
After considering the PROPOSE
ton for a few minutes the first
price quoted was accepted, and
the goods bought and carried
away. Since then the man has
been a steady customer, and
nothing more has been said
about buying from mail order
houses.
1t is always policy and wisdom
TO patronize local merchants.
They are the people who pay
taxes in the home town and as
sist in boosting and putting
through the things which bene-
fit the general community. The
out of town dealers get your
money and it never returns to
or benefits those who spend it.
Keep your dough at home.
