THE LAME DUCK" HOLDS ON

Killing of the Norris lame duck"
amendment by the house doesn't end
the matter. Some day something will
be done to abolish the lame duck ses-
sions of congress. Everybody, with
the possible exception of the contem-
poraneous manned fowl, wants it
done, but no one seems to get it done.
For the fourth time, the senate, by
vote of 55 to 6, endorsed the Norris
resolution to submit constitutional
amendment to the people proposing
to abolish the session of congress that
begins in December and set inaugura-
tion day forward to January Is in
stead of March 4. This proposed
move would automatically kill the
lame duck session. Congressman
elected in November would take their
seats in January instead of year
after election.
Though the house rejected the Nor
ris proposal, many of the members
made telling points in favor of it.
Among them was Representative
Frank L. Bowman, Of West Virginia,
who pointed out that "the U. S. is
the only country in the civilized world
that permits by constitutional provi-
sions an interim of thirteen months
between the election of the members
Of the lower house and the assembling
of congress, and the only country that
makes it possible 'or members of the
legislative branch Of the government
to legislate for months after their
reputation and rejection by the
people"

the poorhouse systems, so the federal
bureau of statistics determined after
a careful survey, each inmate costs
the state an average of $344. Thus
Montana is paying but trife more
than half what it would pay to main
tain its aged in poorhouses.
That the law is well thought of is
evidenced by the fact that the COM
missioners of Silver Bow county,
Montana, recently took action to
adopt the pension system and do away
with the poorhouses. 1t might be ex-
planned that under the Montana law
each county is permitted to act for
itself in the matter of adopting the
system. The Silver Bow county COM
missioners said they were taking the
step in the interest of economy.
Under the new system the county
will save the taxpayers $4,000 year
not to mention the humane features
of the law

DUTY" FIRST IMPORTANCE

This weeks cables tell US Premier
Baldwin gave this advice to British
voters:
Don't talk about your rights; talk
about your duty. If every body in the
country did his duty there would be
no question of his rights"
The premier's advice can apply to
citizens on this side of the Atlantic
who ignore industrial injustice until
they are inconvenience and who then
insist that their rights" are interfer-
ed with.
In the present miners strike, nearly
a year old, no one talks about the
rights" of the public. The non-union
fields are supplying coal.
When a previous soft coal suspen-
sion loomed, and Federal Judge An
derson issued his famous anti-strike
injunction, the rights" of the public
were loudly proclaimed.
The non-union area then was not as
extensive as now.
When men talk about their rights
they should not overlook their duty
to resist injustice inflicted on their
fellow men,
Let defenders of their rights" read
of conditions in the Pittsburgh Goa
strike area, where, United States
Senator Gooding says, "the (senate)
committee found men, women and
children living in novels which are
more unsanitary than modern
swine-pen"

MELLON PHILOSOPHY

Asked by the senate digging COM
mittee if he was incensed by the
viii Hays proposal that he accept
$4,000 worth of Sinclair bonds and
give the equivalent in cash, Mr.. Mel
Ion said, 81 don't become incensed.
take things in this world as they are
and act according to my conscience !"
That is an easy-going philosophy.
But let us ask where the world would
be if there were not men who resent
iniquity and injustice and who refuse
to take things as they are-who re-
fuse to permit the evil and the sin
lister persons make the conditions un-
der which we must live?
Where would the trade union
movement be if it thought as Mr.
Mellon says he thinks? 1t is we'll
that all are not nodded along the
lines of ''laissez faire" and that all
do not refuse to be become incensed!

HIGH WAGES
Follow Shorter Work Day,
Says Woman Leader

Memphis, Tenn.-High wages gen.
orally accompany short working hours
while low wages accompany long
hours and frequently undesirable
working conditions.
This statement was made by Miss
Caroline Manning, of the United
States women's bureau, in discussing
survey of Tennessee wage working
women in speech in this city.
The bureaus survey included
wages, hours and working conditions
of 10000 women.
"Payrolls examined Dy u.s." said
Miss Manning, "show that for the
early part of 1925 the median of the
weekly earnings of the women-that
is, half the women earning more and
half earning less-was found to be
$11.10 for white women, and $685. for
negroes"
The survey showed that some firms
voluntarily reduced working hours
from 10 to 8 a day, almost half OF
the women worked 10 hours or longer
One-half of them had week day Of
55 hours or more. Oen-half the womer
were 25 years or older, and so pei
cent were or had been married, with
consequent responsibilities.

FIGURES ON LIGHT

The National Popular Government
League prints chart which shows
that IN 80 selected American cities
having total population of 25,O00,-
900, electric current is served to con-
sumers at an average of IA cents.
In Il Ontario cities having a popula-
ton of 1,179,000, the average rate is
1.6 cents. If the Ontario companies
paid taxes and other charges on the
American scale, the Ontario rate
would be about "a cents, leaving
American consumers paying an excess
of five cents over the Ontario rate.
These seem to be enlightening figures
on light.

PROVED IT'S WORTH

Taxpayers have been watching the
result of old age pension laws enact
ed in several states Of the Union.
Attention has been called to the work
ing of the law in Montana which has
had an old age pension statute on its
books for four years. The law more
than justifes its existence.
Experts have found that the law
is no longer an experiment, and stat
istics gathered on the subject show
conclusiyely that. old age pensions
cost far less than poorhouses and
similar eleemosynary institutions.
Opponents of the pension plan have
apparently fought losing battle, as
figures from Montana favor the pen
sion plan decisively in the matter of
cost.
During the calendar year 1926, the
state paid pensions to 584 persons at
an average cost of s179.56. Under

FIvE-DAY WEEK WILL COME

Workers should not be worried or
disturbed by heated attacks on the
proposed fve-day work week. The
eight-hour workday, abolition of the
twelve-hour shift in the steel indus
try and, in fact, every advance made
by labor has been denounced in pre-
cisely the same way as the five-day
week proposal is now being assailed in
certain quarters.
All far-reaching improvements in
the condition of labor have been de-
nounced as ruinous to industry and
the nation. The same charge is be-
ing hurled at the five-day week. The
five-day week, however, is already
here in certain industries and these
industries have not been ruined
The shorter work week will come
m other industries when they are
ready for it by reason of increased
production, and it will come in al
industry when all industry is ready
for it.
Evolution fights for the five-day
week and there is no stopping evo
luton, whether in nature, in indus
try, government, or in any of tn,
| activities of mankind.

THAT AGREEMENT

Fact-dodging coal owners and word
twisting attorneys are attempting to
Justify abrogation of the Jackson
vile agreement.
The agreement was signed Febru-
ary 19,1924, by miners and coal own
ers of Illinois, Ohio and Western
Pennsylvania, and was to continue
from April /, 1924, to March 81, 1927.
1t reaffirmed existing conditions and
called for no change in wages or
working conditions.
1t further provided that both par
ties should again assemble "the sec
ond Monday of February, 1927, at
Miami, Florida" or two weeks before
expiration of the agreement, to con-
slider a new contract.
The Jacksonville agreement has no
double meaning. 1t is as plain and
direct as the English language can
make it.
The coal owners, however, are ex-
cusing a violation of the pledged
word that is unequalled in this coun-
try. They would sweep aside the
foundation of industrial peace. They
would legalize contract breaking anc
would mock a solemn pact between
employer and employed.

FRIDAY, MARCH %, 1923
THE "Y" DRIVE is ON

With about $50 workers, all chock
full of enthusiasm and rarin' to go,
present at the kickoff" dinner held
at the 'Y" Thursday night, the an
nual Y. NJ. C. A. canvass was Off
cially declared to be on. The purpose
of the canvass is to secure funds so
that the non self-supporting activities
of the institution may continue to
function during the coming year.
These activities include such as
boys work, for non-members who par
ticipate in leagues and other activi-
ties of a similar nature in the use of
the building by the public. The goal
of this years canvass is $25,900 and
this sum must be raised if the non
self-supporting features of the 'Y'
are to continue.
There is no more worthy institution
in the city than the Y. NJ. C. A., and
it should have the support of every
citizen. 1t is fine asset to the city
1t is a community center for all pur-
poses. Hundreds of meetings are
held throughout the year in its as
sembly hall and rooms for which the
institution gets no compensation
other than the good will created to-
wards it thereby.
But where the "Y" really shines
is in the great work it does for the
boys of Hamilton. This good is be-
yond calculation. 1t provides foi
them recreation, amusement and en-
tertainment in clean environment and
gives them training that goes far
toward their success in future life
1t keeps them from roaming streets
and alleys where they might get into
mischief and harm We sure neeed
the "Y" and must help keep it going.
The Press urges that all union
men and women aid in every way
possible to make this years canvass
a huge success.

Up in Middletown the stationary
engineers went on strike several
weeks ago, after the paper mills re-
fused to grant them a few minor
demands in their working conditions.
Up to this time it has been peace
full strike. We are told that the po-
lice in that city are now using some
of the same tactics that are used by
the mine operators in the coal re-
gions. They say that the police are
driving the strikers off the streets
and say that the engineers have no
right on the streets. And all of this
is happening in "The City With a
Soul"!

MORAL CRIMINALS"
President Green Calls Tran
sit Company in Wire to
Mayor Walker

William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, tele-
graphed from Chicago to Mayor
James J. Walker, of New York, a
scathing arraignment of the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company. He
accused the company of brutal and
inhuman conduct and beseeched the
mayor to use the power of his great
office to compel the officers of the
company, whom ne designated as
moral criminals, "to obey the laws of
decency, humanity and morality"
The telegram follows:
"The brutal and inhuman conduct
of the officers of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company has aroused
the righteous indignation of millions
of working people and their friends
throughout the country.
"The discharge of scores of work
ing men, many of whom had served
this corporation for years, merely
because they exercised their consti-
tutional right to join trade union,
strikes at the very basis of industrial
liberty and human freedom.
Glow can the cause of industrial
peace be promoted when corpora
be promoted when soulless corpora
| ton such as the Interborough Rapid
| Transit Company seems to be carry
ing on a campaign of relentless in
dustrial warfare Such action tends
| to develop class hatred, class war and
bolshevism.
"a corporation which pursues such
an indefensible policy of persecution
of loyal, trained, efficient employees
has no standing before the bar OF
public opinion. 1t has forfeited the
right to exist. The power of public
opinion enraged by it's treatment OF
honest, upright citizens and workers
should drive it out of management
and control of a great public utility
which depends upon the public fol
support.
''In the name of millions of work
ling men and women / appeal to youl
lhonor and to the great heart and con
Iscience of the people of New Yorl
for Justice and redress. Stop th'
ruthless industrial warfare and com
pei the unemployment of all those
workers who have been discharged.
81 beseech you to use the power o,
your great office to compel these
moral criminals, the officers of the

papy, to obey the laws of decency

STRAUSS COMPANY
Enlarging Bargain Base
ment For Clothing
and Shoes

The Strauss Clothing and Shoe
Company, following the successful
merchandising trend in the better
stores throughout the country, is re-
modelling their basement, and when
finished will be complete bargain
basement in every respect.
For the past several years the
basement has been devoted to bar
gains in shoes and also the receiving,
shipping and storage rooms, but for
the past few weeks carpenters, paint
ers, electricians, ETC., have been MAX
ing extensive alterations and the en-
tire basement has taken on a new
and attractive appearance. 1t will be
a modern basement merchandising
center where the most attractive val
ues will be featured in mems clothing
and furnishings and shoes for men,
women and children. An affiliation
with more than one hundred mems
and boys stores throughout the ma
ton enables the Strauss store to COM
mand buying power in the markets
that will mean the greatest of saw
ings-and these savings will be pass
ed on to the buying public.
A new stairway has been built in
leading from the first floor to the
bargain basement. This stairway will
be most conveniently located right
inside the main entrance to the store
on the first floor. Announcement of
the opening of Strauss bargain base
ment will be made in few days, and
during this opening extra values will
be offered.

COAL AND IRON
POLICE ARE AIDED
BY RAILROAD

Washington. - The Pennsylvania
railroad aided coal owners in organ
izing their coal and iron police, ac-
cording to testimony before the sem
ate interstate commerce committee
that is investigating the coal strike.
C. E. Lesher, vice president of the
Pittsburgh Coal Company, told the
committee that the private army was
organized by Capt. John 2. Searsch
while on leave of absence from the

Mr.. Lesher stated that the coal and
iron police are responsible only to
the company. The witness acknow-
lodged that there has been an in
crease in mine fatalities in the Pitts
burgh district since the coal owners
bbroke with the union.

all in their power to make the chest
drive success. We must not let
the kiddies' camp go backwards.

Again we want to call attention to
the local unions who have not full
representation of delegates in the
central body. Each union is entitled
to three delegates, and there is no
good reason why a full delegation
should not be sent. All of the big
things that are done for labor in Ham
ilton are discussed at the central
body meetings, and all of the discus
sions should be reported back to the
locals.
