POLYGAMY, EXPLOITATION OF WOMEN
 AND SALE OF CHILD BRIDE BANNED

Poltoratsk. (tormerly Askhabad) Turkestan, Oct. 8 C9 - As a sequel to the murder of the young com munist worker Anna DechRan, for which five of her relatives were executed yesterday. the Turkestan government today issued a decree prohibiting polygamy, the exploita- ton of women and the sale of in- fant girls in marriage.
 These were the practices against which Anna fought and which aroused her relatives to warn her and finally to descend In a body and stab her to death in the pres ence of her husband and infant child. Fifty-two wounds were in- ficted on her body.
 Under today's decree the mar riageable age for girls is fixed at 16 and for boys, IS. The profes- sional marriage brokers, who thrived on the sale of women, are

 It was also disclosed that par ents who sold their immature daughters into marriage encouraged divorce so the girls could be sold a second time. Some girls were re- sold as many as five times,
 The trial further brought out that, under the peculiar concep- tions of honor prevailing among Turcomans, 1t was considered a disgrace and an insult to the hus- band If a divorce was secured on the wife's initiative.
 Such insults" were avenged by the husband killing the wife or her newly acquired spouse. and these affairs frequently led to blood feuds among whole families and even entire villages.

UNDER THE NEW TIME

Practically all Hamilton is now
running under Eastern standard, or
daylight-saving, time. Shops, stores,
schools, churches, theatres, etc., all
are running under the new time.
About the only exception being the
city buildings, where the clocks still
run under the old time and the city
employees and officials are working
under the old time. However, to off
set the difference in time and to con-
form with the new time, city en-
ployes are entering upon their duties
one hour earlier, old time, which
makes their working hours the same
as those going on the new time sched-
ule. So the only difference is that
the clocks in city hall appear one hour

slower than elsewhere, and this diff

slower than elsewhere, and this diff
ference is not noticeable to outsiders.
The difference, however, is confus-
ing to city employees whose watches
and clocks are set at the old time.
The only way the change can be made
is by action of city council. Council
at its meeting two weeks ago, when
the matter was brought before it,
refused to change to Eastern time for
the city because of apparent divided
opinion of the people on the subject.
Council wasn't to be blamed for it's
action at the time. Sentiment among
the people was divided, and there is
still some opposition, but this oppo-
| sition is fast dwindling away and the
people are accepting the change as a
matter of course, change there isn't
much chance of reversing.
Council at it's last meeting took no
action in the matter. The Press be-
lieves since all the rest of Hamilton
is running along and getting accus.
toned to the change, council woulc
be justified and should have no hesi
fancy in ordering change to Eastern
time for the entire city. The Press
believes there will be very little
criticism of such action at this time
The Press makes no argument fol
or against daylight-saving time, bu
it believes it best that the busines
and affairs of the city and the peo
pie be conducted under one and tn
same time, whichever it may be, an
since it is apparent that the new tim
is here to stay why not accept tn
situation as it is, with the best grac
possible, and meet it?

TRADES COUNCIL FOR BONDS

At the meeting of Trades Council
Tuesday evening, the delegates went
on record as favoring the three bond
proposals to come before the voters
at the November election The
bonds are for new city building,
junior high school building and sew
ers in the eastern part of the city.
That's as it should be, for goodness
only knows The city is badly in need
of new building in which to house
our officials and transact the city's
business. The present city hall is a
positive disgrace and one that no citi-
zen points out to visiting stranger
with pride. The only time he points
it out is when he is inclined to be
humorous. Then he points to it with
ridicule. And can you blame him?
And the city, too is badly in need
of the proposed junior high school
building. With the building of ar
additional junior high building the sit
uation in the grade schools, where
crowded conditions are becoming g
problem to the school authorities, can
be relieved. AS it is now there is
scarcely breathing space in some OF
our grade schools. Hamilton is grow
ing, and the school population is in
creasing way beyond present school
room capacity. Something must be
done, and done quickly if we are to
maintain the high standard of the
city's school work of the past.
And as for the sewer bonds there
is no question but what the people
in the territory to be benefited are
entitled to storm sewers in their dis
trict. The bonds are to provide
storm sewers in all that territory ly-
ing east of the canal and north OF
Crawford's run. This territory is now
thickly populated and fast increasing

SMALL COMPENSATION
NOT UPHELD BY JUDGE

Hastings refused to enjoin state
workmen's compensation authorities
from hearing the complaint of an in
jured worker who was ignorant of his
rights when he accepted an made
quate settlement.
The worker, who is N years old,
was given $1,000 by public utility
corporation. Two-thirds of the money
was paid to hospital. Later the
worker discovered that he had been
victimized and appealed to the COM
pensation commission for a proper
award. The corporation asked that
the hearing be enjoined, but Judge

TACKLING A TOUGH JOB

With American voters staying
away from the polls as they do, the
National Civic Federation is tackling
a tough job when it inaugurates q
campaign to induce citizens to vote
and to enroll in the party of their
choice.
For having the courage to undertake
an effort the National Civic Fedora
tion deserves more praise than it is
likely to get. But the situation is
appalling and needs attention. A
fifty per cent stay-at-home vote is no
exception.
And when the voters of a party are
confronted with a choice at the pri-
maries between two men of equally
characteristics they have
themselves to blame for not having
in their party activities.
And they are equally helpless to ad-
vance the interests of desirable con-
didate in the primary election unless
they are enrolled.

STOP AND CONSIDER

Did it ever occur to you that there
is nothing which Injuries the union so
much as the failure of members to
attend meetings?
Stop and consider what it means if
YOU are one of those union members
who never attend the meeting.
Suppose all other members did what
you are doing, what then? 1t would
mean that nobody would be at the
meetings, and before many moons
passed there would be no union.
| The reason that union exists at
all is due almost wholly to those who
attend the meetings.
If you are not attending you are
doing that which would kill your
I, union if all other members followed
your example.
The more members who stay away
the harder it makes it for the few who
do attend. They have to bear the
brunt of the struggle. No matter
how hard they try they are weakened
by your absence, just as an army
would be weakened if most Of the sol
diers in the ranks went into hiding
on the days when there were battles
to fight.
| You want results from the union
don't you?
Then by the eternal laws that un
derlie all human progress you must
help get those results.
Nothing hurts your union so much
as the Indifference Of the members
1t is this Sinking duty that doe!
more injury to a union than anything
else.
i A real union man never permits
anything but extraordinary causes t.
keep him away from his union meet
ings.

DEFEAT FALKENSTINE

There is one man on the ticket to
be voted at the coming election whom
the Press believes no truth-loving citi-
zen wants to knowingly cast his bal
lot for, and therefore calls attention
to this mans name-which is G. c.
Falkenstine, at present Butler coun-
tvs representative in the state legis-
lature and candidate for reelection.
Falkenstine is preacher with a
church at Middletown, and we might
say it is little credit to any church
that will retain a man of Falken-
stine's caliber as it's spiritual advisor.
| The leader of the church flock, and as
such is its pastor, is supposed to be
all that is truthful And in this
Falkenstine is all that is opposite.
| 1t will be remembered that Falken-
stine was elected representative on
the republican ticket two years ago
after making solemn promises and
pledges to support ratification of the
! federal child labor amendment. He
made these pledges and promises in a
signed QUESTIONABLE submitted to
him by the Ohio State Federation of
Labor. His party platform carried a
plank favoring ratification of the
amendment, and as a candidate on
his party's ticket he obligated him.
self to carry out it's platform declara-
tions. The local Ministers Alliance,
women's clubs and associations fav-
ored the movement and many sup
ported Falkenstine because of the
pledge and promises he made, anc
their belief in him as a minister OF
the gospel.
When the time came to vote, how
ever, Falkenstine turned tail, that is
he about faced, and to the consterna
ton of all voted against ratification
voted exactly opposite to the promise:
made, almost shattering the faith 0.
many in all mankind. And his onl.
explanation was that he changed hi
mind, that he prayed for divine guild
ance and that God be with him. H,
sure needed it. And he sure did pu
it over on the people when by loos
promises and pledges he scured elec
T ton to office As one indignant, hot
5 headed and disappointed churchma
