REMEMBER THEIR FRIENDS

With production resumed in the
anthracite region, the miners are pay
ing their debts to business men who
so Loyalty stood by them in the five
and one-half months strike.
This action is in line with a resolu-
ton adopted by the tri-district con-
vention which approved the strike
settlement. The resolution declared
credit on large scale was extended
to mine workers and their families
by landlords and business men.
''We urge upon our membership the
making of faithful and consistent
effort to liquidate our just and honor
able obligations, in order that those
who so willingly extended credit will
be protected, and that their faith and
confidence in the anthracite mine
workers will not have been misplaced

ANTI VIOLATES LAW

San Francisco. William Henry
George, anti-unionist leader and pro-
fessional humanitarian, must answer
court charges by the state industrial
accident commission that he is con-
tinuously violating the California
workmen's compensation law. Under
this statute it is compulsory for all
employers to carry industrial acci-
dent insurance. George has been so
busy fighting labor unions and preach
ing his brand of claw and order" that
he has no time to protect employees.

it need not depend on immigration for

before a group of New York business

THE NEW RAIL LABOR BILL

There is special significance in the
agreement between railway manage
ments and railway unions to ask for
the abolition of the railway labor
board Labor was from the first op-
posed to this attempt to fix wages by
law. The experiment proved unwise
and the parties concerned ask that
the law be put in the discard. The
new bill provides for agencies to sup
plement direct negotiations between
unions and arrangements.
The proposition rests primarily
upon voluntary agencies which shall
endeavor to make and maintain agree
ments. Wages, rules and working
conditions are to be determined by
collective agreement. Disputes shall
first be considered by those directly
interested, and if unsettled referred to
adjustment boards with adequate
jurisdiction. Further opportunity
may be had to refer to board of
mediation consisting of five members
appointed by the president and ap-
proved by the senate. If an adjust
ment is still lacking, and both parties
consent, the matter may be referred
to a board of arbitration. An arbi-
tration award is to be flied with the
appropriate federal district court and
become a judgment of that court.
| The board of arbitration shall notify
| the president when in its judgment
a dispute threatens to interrupt inter-
state commerce. In an eventuality
the president is authorized to appoint
board to investigate For thirty
/ days after the initiation of such an
inquiry no change shall be made in
the dispute except by agreement
Neither shall arrangements seek re-
course through injunctions.

,unions and arrangements respectively

United States asking his favorable

The Press is hoping THAI when it
comes to building new city hall, if
that time ever comes, that city coun-
Gil or whoever it may be that has final
say, will not adopt policy of penny
wise, pound foolish when it comes to
the selection of site 1t has long
been a dream of the public-spirited
citizens that Hamilton have fine new
city hall, and on a site that all citi-
zens might point to with pride.
As the old saying goes, WE will
build but once, that is, the Press dares
say that there isn't a person living
today, including the newest babies
who will see another city hall built
in Hamilton; that is, after the pres
ent proposed city hall is built
So then why stint ourselves on a
site? What is a 100000, or even a
$150,000, to the present taxpayers of
Hamilton and the generations to
come?
The cost of the building will be just
the same, no matter where put 1t
should be only a question of where
will it look best to our citizens and
make a good impression ON visitors to
our city, here or there, and no mat
ter what the cost, select the best site,
says the Press, and let us not be like
the fellow who erects handsome,
high-priced home in some out of the
way or undesirable location because
he got the lot cheap, and then forever
kicks himself for having done so.
The Press realizes that because
taxes in Hamilton recently took a

FAR-oFF WHINE FROM REDS


Communist activity aimed at the
American labor movement is not con-
fined to the United States.
From South America comes an echo
of anti-American communist propa-
ganda in the form of an editorial pub
lished in the communist organ in the
Argentine and reprinted in the prin-
cipal communist organ in Spain.
This editorial is an attack on the
project of Argentine labor affiliation
with the Pan American Federation of
Labor, and contains the usual COM
munist charge that the Pan-American
Federation of Labor is the servant of
Wall street.
The communist strength in the
Argentine is about as great as the
strength of the l.. w. WIS in the
United States, and the editorial is of
no great Importance except to show
that the communist effort is similar
everywhere, and that it is the inter-
national communist purpose to use
every avenue through which blow
can be struck at the labor movement
of the United States and the construc-
tive labor movement of n-America
The Argentine communist editoria
! threatens to bring into being a fedora
| ton of the communist minorities
throughout Latin America in hostil
ity to the Pan-American Federation
of Labor, though whether this can b,
done is doubtful. Whether it woult
have any great effect on labor any
where, except to add to an alread.
considerable chaos in Latin American
labor ranks, is still more doubtful.

labor organization is each day mad
clearer, and the course of real labo

TEAM WORK
Everything seems to be running
along smoothly these days in the old
city hall. Mayor Koehler and city
council are pulling together. How
different from the two years previous
to January 1st 1t is quite relief
these days to pick up the daily papers
and not have to read each day that
because of the lack of funds the
forces in the police and fire depart
ments will have to be cut down, or
that there will be no further collec-
tion of garbage on the part of the
city department. With the two
branches, legislative and administra-
tive, pulling together Hamilton is 60
