TRADES COUNCILS IN

At the victory dinner held Tuesday
evening by the Hamilton Chamber Of
Commerce, symbolizing the successful
closing of its membership expansion
drive, the Hamilton Cooperative
Trades and Labor Council, through its
representative, Stanley Ogg, secre.
tary of the council, stepped up and
said, "Gentlement, we are with you
you are all right, we approve of you, "
or words to that effect. What he
really did say was, Here are two
memberships in the Chamber of Com
merce, subscribed by the Hamilton
Cooperative Trades and Labor Coun-
ell. They are endorsement of the re-
lationship between Trades Council
and the Chamber of Commerce. This
is the only city in the country where
this spirit of cooperation exists be-
tween these two organizations. 1t
is the thought of Trades Council that
the Chamber of Commerce is the
proper channel through which the
projects for the betterment of the
city should be handled" He further
stated that the Chamber of Com
merce is held in the highest esteem
and respect by Trades Council.
In responding, John E. Northway,
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, said that he thought the spirit
Of comradship between the two bodies
would always exist and probably more
so than in the past.
Alta boy! Trades Council speaks for
organized labor and the workers in
general. The Chamber of Commerce
speaks for the employers and many
workers as we'll. With these two
bodies teaming up, pulling together,
is there anything that can stop Hamil-
tons progress? Absolutely not. And
as Judge Harlan says: 100000 more
population for Hamilton in five
years" Going-up!
And with the harmonious relations
existing between all classes, isn't
Hamilton a lovely bed of roses for
red radicalism to try to light in?
You said 'er.

sition. AS a general proposition j,
can't be DONE Witness Carl Gary
employed by the West Virginia Coal
and Coke Company, who, during the
month Of October, drew two pays
and came out in debt to the company
each time AS climax to his hard
luck he was arrested for not paying
his board bill!
Gary's statements, issued to him By
the coal company, for the two pays
during October are interesting docu.
ments. They were given to Edgar
Armstrong, secretary of Local Union
2S07, Cedar Grove, w. Va, as "hor-
rible examples" to men who are seek
ing work and wages in the non-union
coal fields of that state.
The first two weeks work in Oc-
tober, according to the Gary state
ments, showed that he worked 72
hours (nine days. and earned $3.50
plus 44 cents for an extra car of coal.
His total earnings were $38.24. On
the debt side of the statement were
coupons good on the company
store-$35; powder, 1925; doctor, rs
cents; hospital, SO cents; smithing, SO
cents; mine checks, SO cents; actual
cash drawn, SO. Total, $47.5O.

THE BAND PLAYS ON

During the expansion campaign Of
the Chamber of Commerce, held last
week, Glenn Wortendyke and his
Orchestra sent in an application for
membership, together with letter
extolling the worth of the chamber
to the city and saying, "At the pres
ent time the Hamilton Chamber of
Commerce is as good as our band.
Let's make both bigger and better!"
And herein the band boys pay high
tribute and are liberal in their praise
as every one knows the band is above
par and that it alone has been worth
the price of admission at the Palace
theatre during it's engagement there
the past three seasons. But taking
the leaders in these two live organi-
cations, Wortendyke and John North
way, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, wouldn't they make a
great team if hooked together! The
only thing is that Glenn would have
to look after his laurels if Northway
got into his organization, for John
has never been known to trail, he is
leader; and if given the chance and
opportunity would, no doubt, be soon
leading the lowly and much despised
and abused saxophone down the high
way of success. Self preservation is
the first law of nature, Glenn; watch
your step, play safe, keep him out.

to bubble over with success to beat
the band. But--have you done yours
Surely you are not going to use the
lame excuse, 81 would have given but
no one asked me to-" Surely you
want to feel, this summer, when you
go to the park for pleasure and enjoy
ment, that you contributed to the
building up of Potter's Park, no mat
ter how small the amount. Then
send in your "bit" or look up one of
the drive workers and hand it to
him.
Don't forget, this is working
mans proposition more than any
others. 1t is the working people who
are going to benefit mostly by reason
of this fine park-to-be. The rich man
isn't going to spend much of his time
in the park. 1t is the workingman
and his wife and kiddies who are 60
ing to get the most fun out Of it. 1t
will be a fine place for all people to
go to for day, an afternoon, or an
evening, with no expense other than
the effort to get there.
So let's as working people get into
the game and make big success of
it. Help today-tomorrow play,
says the committee. In other words,
pay a little now towards fine place
to spend many an hour this summer
in pleasure with the family. Let's go.

COUNCILS ACTION ON
ELECTRIC PLANT

CLCS hxS Ian
In lengthy editorial the other
night, the Hamilton Evening Journal
severely criticised city council for its
action in deciding to proceed with the
building of new electric ligh,
plant, and at great length condemns
council for spending $650,000 of the
peoples money unnecessarily. The
Journal is wrong in this in that coun-
ell proposes to spend not more than
$525,000, the amount remaining from
the original $65O,OOO voted by the
people for the purpose about six
years age, the other $125,000 having
been spent to rebuild the distribution
system and other improvements.
The Journal goes farther. 1t advises
Mayor Koehler and the other admin
istrative officials to ignore and not
obey the order of council. The Press
believes, in this, the Journal is wrong
again. In proceeding with the build
ing of new electric plant, council,
Mayor Koehler and other officials are
but living up to their prediction
pledges, to give the people what they
want
Hamilton citizens have made plain
their wishes in this matter-that is
a great majority Of them have. First
they voted $65O,OOO for new plant
and last November a year ago they
voted down proposition to sell the
city's electric distributing system to
an outside concern. During that
campaign they made it plain that they
wanted the old plant rebuilt or new
one built. Trades council, various
improvement associations and lodges
have taken action urging council and
the city officials to proceed. How
ever, the former city council and Of
ficials couldn't see it that way That
was one of the big reasons for a
change in city administration voted
last fall.
If the question was put to refer
dunn, the people would vote approval
of councils action as emphatic as
they did to turn down contract for
natural gas on February End, when
more than 80 per cent of the voters
declared themselves against the pro-
posal, and which proposal the Jour-
nal whole -heartedly favored. And
regardless of what price electric cur
rent can be purchased for elsewhere,
would the Journal say that the wishes
of more than 80 per cent of our citi-
zens should be ignored and not carried
out-that Mayor Koehler and other
administrative officials should refuse
to obey councils order to give the
people what they want?
The citizens of Hamilton will nave
to foot the bill, and even though they
are mistaken or wrong, give them
what they want. Majority should
rule, and it is plain to any fair

CAN'T STOP THEM

1t is impossible to stop the organ
ization and expansion of trade unions.
American working men and women
are sthe most efficient and American
trade unions rank highest among the
most skilled and productive workers
throughout the world. They have
through years of tedious progress
fought for and established what is
commonly termed an American
standard Of living"
That standard can not be lowered
without dislocating our economic and
industrial machinery. Our leadership
among nations of the world must de-
pend not on low wages, but upon skill
ed, trained, fine-spirited, willing, high
paid workers. Our land is "high-
wage land" 1t will succeed as a
high-wage land. AS low-wage
country it would fail in competition
with the other nations of the world

MORAL TURPITUDE

Commissioner of Immigra tion
Henry H. Curran proved his ability
to think clearly and sanely in a state
ment in which he made a plea for
clarification of the provisions of the
immigration law under which it was
attempted to exclude the Countess of
Cathcart. The following from his
statement is worth reading:
amid all the dust that has been
kicked up by the Cathcart case, the
thing that stands out most clearly is
the need for correcting the curious
kinks that exist in the law itself. |
think congress should do this with
out delay. From an administrative
point of view we shall be in a tumble
until it is done
ITO put the remedy in a nutshell, |
would wipe out altogether the phrase
felony or other crime or misdemeanor
involving moral turpitude,' and insert
in its place list of the specific Of
fenses which may bar visitor or i'm
migrant from coming into our coun-
try Then we shall know where we
stand If we would exclude for mur-
der or theft or adultery, why not say
so? To leave it all to moral turpi-
tude' is about as clear as mud.
"Just exactly what is moral turpi-
tude?' Does anybody know? You
can make your own choice, from
murder all the way down to glass
of beer Opinions differ.
Nor does it help to speak of a 'fel-
ony or other crime or misdemeanor.
For what is crime in one part of
the world is virtue in another.
Head-hunting is murder in England
and America, but in the South Sea
Islands it is the national sport, like
baseball or cricket. Adultery is not
generally crime abroad. In our own
United States it is crime in some
states, but not in others. Just where
do we get in this sort of fog? What
we need is a list of definite offenses,
drawn up and enacted by congress" !"

THE BREAD TRUST

The Ward bread interests, who are
promoting the new two-billion-dollar
food merger, are an example of the
anti-union attitude of some large
American employers. Their growth
has meant the growth of non-union
labor in the baking trade, and their
new venture will be giant anti
union bread and food products trust.
The Ward interests typify the atti-
tude of similar concerns toward char
ity. The charter of the new COM
any permits it to establish hospitals
and old folks homes for its en-
ployes. A strange provision is in.
