which they say will be second to none

to be programmed. The completed
card will be announced about Satur-
day, or Monday at the latest -

| Williams, of Cincinnati, the we'll
known Queen City boxer, and Tommy
Ryan, of Toledo, who has a reputa-

are to go ten rounds, and this battle
alone promises to give the fans their
moneys worth.
In addition to the main bout there
will be "a more rounds, or "a rounds
of boxing in all, affording an evening
of entertainment not to be excelled
Every dollar of profit goes into the
fund to further the Kiddies' Camp.
Much of the expense for conducting
the show has been donated. The box
ers have offered their services at
small cost in order to help the cause.

bor," writes John P. Frey, editor of
International Molders' Journal.
"Nor do they oppose legislation ia
vored by employing interests, which,
if enacted, would prove injurious to
labor. They do little, if anything, ,ex-
cept what the employer wants them
to do.
'The company union is what its
name implies, a union controlled by
the company-the employer. The

is devised by the employer. Control
lies in his hands.
'The employees membership in a

"The living standard is lowered,

Italy is in a chaotic state. The cost

UNION SHOP FAIR TO ALL

Those who argue that there is some
thing unreasonable about requiring
men who work in union shop either
to join the union or get off the JOB
are resorting to mighty poor logic
when they profess to believe that
every man should be left free to join
the union or not, and that the man
who refuses to join the union should
not only be protected in such refusal,
but complimented for his independ
ence in refusing to submit to union
regulations.
There would be just about as much
sense and logic in arguing that every
man should be left free either to pay
his taxes or not as might suit his own
individual whims or fancies. All
people who own property and are get
ting the protection of the government
to enjoy such property are expected
to contribute their share of taxes, re-
gardless of whether they like it or
not Anyone failing to pay his taxes
has his property taken from him, and
it is sold to raise the money with
which to pay his taxes, and the only
way such person can redeem his prop
erty is to pay up his back taxes and
such additional penalties as the
various states may see fit to impose
on him for his failure to pay his
taxes.
The right to work in a union shop
is much like the right to own prop
erty. The man who goes to work in
such shop gets the benefit of the
union conditions that prevail there,
and it is nothing more than right
and just that he should contribute his
share to the union that is thus bene-
fitting him. When he is expected to
pay his union dues or assessments he
is simply being asked to fulfill
moral obligation he owes to an organ
ization that is beneftting him.
The workingman who does not want
to pay union dues, nor belong to a
union which has bettered working con-
ditions for him in the shop where he
is earning his livelihood, is as unjust
to his fellow workers as the property
owner is to society when he refuses
to pay his taxes but still expects to
be permitted to continue the enjoy
ment of his property.

or the drinking of milk is harmful
after reaching the age of seven.
Nevertheless, he is quoted upon all
subjects under the sun and a mercen-
ary public press gives him wide pub
licity even though the editors secretly
laugh at him.
Before real progress can be made
this attitude of mind on the part of
the public must undergo a change.
1t will be we'll when the public comes
to realize the best gauge of mans
worth is the amount of service that
he has rendered to society. This is
justifable scale to adopt. Through
social endeavor man has enthralled
the elements and harnessed the stars.
Without those things which society
gives to the individual the existence
of man would be precarious and
miserable one at best 1t is therefore
reasonable to say that we owe our
first duty to that from which we re-
ceive so much. This being SO, the
highest ideal that any one can
achieve is to render the maximum
amount of social service.
