FIRE FIGHTERS
Prove Unions Value; Gains
Secured Is Efficiency Aid

Washington.-Th International As
sociation of Fire Fighters, affiliated
to the A. f. of L., announces the
most complete survey of fire depart
ment statistics that has ever been
made in the United States and Canada.
The survey covers salaries, working
conditions, pensions, fire losses, num-
Der of persons protected by each fire
man, fire protection cost per capita,
loss per fire, value of property pro-
tected by each fireman and other feat
ures of interest to the fire prevention
field
In connection with salaries it is in
teresting to note that in 1913 average
salaries for frst-lass firemen was
ST 900 per year. The present average
salary is $1,924, or an increase of 92
per cent. Hours of labor have been
cut in half the introduction of the
two-platoon system in practically
every city in the United States and
Canada.
The international Association con-
centrated it's efforts on salaries and
the two-platoon system, but did not
neglect needed reforms in pensions,
civil service ad finre prevention neces-
sites.
Statistics on salaries emphasize the
advantage of organization. In one
group of the larger cities the average
for organized fremen is $2,108 a
year. and 800 less for unorganized.
The study points out that in many
unorganized cities the salaries were
increased by civic officials to prevent
organization. In most cases of this
kind the fire fighters are controlled
by politicians and a large percentage
of the increases must be contributed
to campaign funds.
During the associations long cam
paign for the two-platoon system in
place of the 24hour day, the fire fight
ers' claim that efficiency would be
increased was strenuously denied. The
study shows that 800 fire department
chiefs sustain the association and
only II reply that the two platoon
system has not increased efficiency.
The association is having many calls
for information pertaining to fire de-
partments, and now is the established
headquarters for information on this
subject

One of the largest attended meet
ings ever held by Molders' Union No.
68, was the one of last Monday night.
The big attendance was caused by the
members turning out to vote at the
regular election of officers.
Several of the old officers had oppo-
sition, which made the contest inter
esting enough to bring many of the
oldtimers to the meeting
The following officers were elected;
Stanley Ogg, president.
John Berger, vice president.
Clyde Bartel, recording secretary.
Chas, Stephen, financial secretary.
Fred Woodrey, corresponding sec
rotary.
Ed. Elcook, treasurer.
John Roberts, conductor
Joe Menkhaus, doorkeeper.
Chas Mignery, trustee.
Martin Michalski, delegate to
Trades Council.
Stanley Ogg, delegate to the Ohio
State Federation of Labor convention
and to the Miam Valley Conference
Board.
This is about the 'steenth time Ogg
has been selected by "Old 68" as its
head official Many of the other off
GERS have also served several terms
in their positions. The large turnout
Monday night shows the deep interest
of the members in the selection of
officers, and this feeling augurs well
for the welfare of the organization.

DOOMED
Are Company Unions" In
America, Says Mac
Donald

London, England-T end of COM
pany unions" in the United States
was predicted by Ramsey Macdonald,
leader of the labor party, in discuss
ing his recent visit to America.
"Workshop management in indus
try" said Mr.. Macdonald, "will pass
under the control of the trade unions
who themselves will determine the
conditions of labor-and, very largely,
the wages-and produce articles on a
scale which will secure for them a
world market The whole movement
is most interesting, but at this mo-
ment is in an embryonic stage
"a curious kind of alert public
spirit is manifesting itself among
American employers. The rich classes
in America are beginning to expe-
rience the profoundly unsatisfying re-
suits of mere wealth possession and
| should not be at all surprised if
in the next few years there were a
specifically characteristic labor move
ment of social and humanitarian
kind in American industry. It's spirit
will be sort of -to-man spirit"
Mr.. Macdonald spoke appreciatively
of the friendliness of American trade
unionists. "When | was ILL.," he said,
kilograms and resolutions came in
from labor organizations from Cali
fornia to New York, which was a
gratifying proof of the solidarity be-
tween British and American workers. "

in the above list are Schmitt, elected
secretary for the fourth time; Per-
pingon for the seventh time elected
business agent and treasurer for the
fifth time; Chas. Chaplin, secretary for
the sixth time, and John Jobe has been
elected SO often to the executive board
as to be beyond the reckoning of man.
Others in the list have been elected
two and three times.
In the election of this set of Off
GERS, time and again, lies the secret
of the most dependable labor unions
organization. The carpenters is one
of the most depndable labor unions
in Hamilton's whole organized labor
movement.

TheCherry
," Where with our
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
fOundly, sometimes fippantl-
sometimes recklessly.

A drama called "Spread Eagle" has
been kicking up good bit of a dis
pute in the well-known city of New
York, some maintaining that it might
have been written by Elizabeth Cur
ley Flynn (if she could write a play
that good, while others maintain that
it holds faithful mirror up to the
ambitions of certain powerful gen
tlemen of more or less petroleum ac-
tivities
Spread Eagle is bang bang drama
with guns, drums, bad men, good men,
drawing rooms, desert and despera-
ton. Off stage the whole United
States army takes part, the largest
aggregation of unpaid actors ever as
sembled in the wings of any theatre,
if you must know it.
There is no particular reason for
giving any part of this column over
to a play that probably will never be
seen outside Of New York, except that
the prediction may be upset, and ex-
cept for the further reason that Spread
Eagle is about the only play of the
season which deals with a great po-
litical issue and gets away with it.
Will Hays, boss of the fiickers, who
is charged by some of his friends
with being a friend of the people,
heard about Spread Eagle, and per
haps went to see it. At any rate, he
issued pronouncement to the effect
that Spread Eagle must never be made
into movie. 1t is not, says this
czar, for the movies
Here, in tabloid, is what the
plays about: An American owner of
rich mines in Mexico; an outwardly
cynical, inwardly decent secretary;
the financier's daughter; the son of
an ex-president; crooked Mexican
general, and the aforesaid army
whose general shows up in person
not to mention some magnifcently
! played Mexican soldiers and poems
who talk real Spanish, as to the lingo
born, which they probably were.
The mine owner sees no way out
except Intervention. He pays the
crooked general and finances a revolu-
tiop ua copJc +l,o ~ ,,ros;Jop+j. 49,,
to the mining property, believing that
if the boy is killed there intervention
will be assured. He guesses right
But the boy is only wounded, as il
turns out, and comes crawling home
just as the troops are on the move
over the border.
It's the regular hot stuff and nc
mistake. The whole panoply of war
is brought out, the theatres with their
orators between acts, the movies OF
the troops, the radio announcer chok-
ing over his amazing news.
Persons whose excitement tops
their judgment have said the play is a
pacifist preachment. 1t is nothing OF
the kind. 1t simply carries to logi-
cal and well-acted conclusion what
has been in the mind of more than
one American and what has been the
thus-far unacted sequence of the un-
conscious deviltry of a great many
more. 1t carries the intervention idea
through and shows precisely how pre-
cisely the kind of propaganda we
have had to the point of nausea, could
and almost has meant war.
Will Hays says the movies must
lay off. Probably Harry Sinclair
agrees with him. No doubt Albert B
Fall agrees likewise. And the Asso-
citation for the Protection of Ameri

HISTORICGOWN
AT FASHION

Mrs. Richard Porter
Davidson Displays
Treasure at Fete

A gown from the court of old Rus
STA invited comparison with the love-
lest of modern frocks displayed this
morning at the fashion show which
marked the opening of the new sea-
son for the Betty Hanna Shop. A
regal white satin ball gown lavishly
embroidered in gold and pearls, the
bodice laced up the back in quaint
bygone fashion, it gave historic in
terest to the exhibition, for it had
been worn by the Czarina of Russia.
The costume was brought to the
United States by Nine. Won Selzam,
mother of Edwart Won Selzam, Of
the German embassy. to be disposed
Of in aid of the modiste who fash
Toned it for the Czarina. After wear
ing it once at a great court function,
the Russian empress had returned 1t
to the maker to keep as a remem-
brance. Straitened circumstances
and the changes of fortune have
forced the aged dressmaker to part
with it; and the Betty Hanna Shop
proposes to dispose of this historic
creation for the benefit Of the one
time dressmaker to the Czarina. 1t
will be remembered that The Czarina
was a daughter of the Grand Duke
of Hesse, who lived in Darmstadt,
the home of the Won Selzams, and
it is there the modiste makes her
home.
Mrs. Richard Porter Davidson,
who seems to have inherited much
of the acumen of her famous grand.
father, Mark Hanna, although it
has been directed 20 business rather
than political achievement, is the
owner of the Betty Hanna Shop; and
many of those attending the fashion
show today were her friends. She
contributed a picturesque touch to
the demonstration by wearing her
wedding gown. Professional name

creations to the strains of music
