THE POSITION OF
THE JEW ON LABOR
By LOUIS MORRIS
In the Jewish Monitor

The labor movement started with
the early struggles of primitive man
in the Valley of the Nile. When the
Jews were in Egypt, Pharoah the
king, the slave driver, was very cruel.
He had an idea that he could, in his
tyrannical manner, work the ancient
Hebrews sweatshop fashion. But
Moses, the great emancipation and
law-giver, gave orders to his union
and they packed their tools and walk
ed out, towards the land of milk and
honey, so that left old Pharaoh to be-
moan the greatest walkout of wage
earners ever known.
AS we come from the ancient his
tory to the modern history of the
labor movement, we find that in the
last fifty years, labor legislation in
behalf of the wage Garner has been
remarkable. Imprisonment for debt
was abolished; laws exempting home
steads and personal property from
execution against widows and or
phans; liens have been given to me-
chanics and laborers; seven hours in
some cases and eight in others have
been declared by law to be a days
labor; in the administration Of insol-
vent estates the wages of labor al
WAYS have preferred claims; manu-
facturers and operators are now re-
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-09-03

quired to provide places and machin-
cry for the safety and comfort of
their employees.
Labor Day has been established as
one Of the great national holidays.
Commissions of labor, both state and
national, are now appointed. Boards
of arbitration, state and national, for
the settlement of all labor disputes
have been created.
The sentiment of both Jewish em-
ployers of labor and employees has
always been with the wage Garner.
Some of the greatest labor leaders
that the world has ever known were
Jews, namely, Carl Marx, Ferdinand
LaSalle, Samuel Gompers and Max
Morris. They fought many valiant
battle for the interest of the wage
Garner. Jewish employers and en-
ployes always believed in fair days
pay for fair days work. Right to-
day in New York city, there is a
Yiddish Typographical Union that re-
ceives the highest scale of pay and
works the least hours of any union
in the United States. Unionism,
therefore, is fundamentally based
upon the Mosaic code of statutes and
ordinances. All through the Old Tes-
lament we find where our prophets
of old preached for the betterment of
the wage Garner. The Jewish people
as whole can feel proud of their rec
ord towards the wage Garner and are
ever endeavoring to make the life of
the laboring man happier and more
remunerative.

THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS

Canadian National net earnings for
the first six months Of the year were
297 per cent greater than during the
corresponding period last year; Ca
madam Pacific net earnings were up
79 per cent. This result was due to
substantial increases in gross earn
ings, with only minor increases in
working expenses.
"A little Improvement in general
business makes large difference to
the railways. However, the railway
executives still resist wage increases,
on the plea that they may have to
face reduction in freight rates.

DISEASE NOT CURED
BY SUPERSTITION

These practices range from carry

Other superstitions recalled by Dr..

KNOCkOUTS MARK
 AMATEUR TOURNEY
Four Battlers Are Put to Sleep
 in BoutS.at State ArIn0ry

Four nnockouts marked the card of amateur fights staged last night at the state armory on Arch street and one of these bouts was the best ever seen in this city in the simon pure ranks. That was between Billy Patrick and Joe Champ of Hartford. Champ landed right uppercut right on the button in the second round and sent Patrick down for the count of nine, but dazed and groggy, Patrick got to his feet, circled the ring evading Champs anxious punches and weathered the storm. In the third round with beautiful left jab, Patrick worked himself into a draw for the three rounds.
 The fourth opened with the boys trying hard to land a haymaker. Neither knew what it meant to quit. Suddenly Patrick after jabbing away with the left. crossed a terrific right that landed flush on Champs jaw and Champ went down. He got up again, but he went down again and Referee Frank Portelle of Hartford stopped the bout awarding 1t to Patrick.
 Paul Terzo of Hartford, a smash ing imitation of Paul Berlenbach, former light heavyweight champion through his terrific body punching, made short work of George Cote of Springfield. The fight opened with Terzo sending in pile-driving rights and lefts to Cote's body. A smash ing right. over the heart sent Cote down. He got up again but went down under a cruel body flashing. He was not out but he appeared to be badly hurt A signal from his corner kept him on both knees and Terzo won.
 An examination in the dressing room by the doctors revealed the fact that he had suffered two broken ribs with the first punch.
 Only one decision set badly with lue CTU"u. at MCSdNdhou6h Ol Hartford was given the decision over Johnny Shive, also of Hartford, after four rounds of fast milling. It was the opinion of the writer that Shive with a long-range right lead and a punishing left, won the fourth round by a wide margin to win the bout, but the decision went to Cavanaugh and was greeted by the usual round of "boos."
 Ralph Esposito of New Haven. a clown of the first water, tried to claim a foul in the first round of his match with Dan Porcello of Spring. field but was counted out giving the decision by a knockout to the Bay State battler. Esposito had the audience in roars of laughter by his wild swings but he was hitting nothing and Porcello was hitting him.
 The results of the bouts were as follows:
 140 pounds-M. Pollowitzer of Hartford won in three rounds from w. Groham of Meriden.
 126 pounds-P. McCavanaugh of Hartford was awarded the decision after four rounds over J. Shive of Hartford.
 145 pounds-Paul Terzo of Hart ford kayoed George Cote of Spring field in the first round.
