AND STILL FOR 1T

In its Hamilton 40 Years Ago This
Week." the Hamilton Evening Jour
nal, last Saturday, said:
"The election passed off rather
smoothly considering the intense in
terest which has been manifested in
some of the offices. The people vot-
ed to install the city gas plant by an
overwhelming majority. There were
l56 against it as for 1858 in favor
of the proposition.
AS can be seen, at that time, 40
years ago. the people favored by al
most an unanimous vote going into
the gas business for themselves. And,
it might be added, the people have
never changed their minds on the
proposition. The people of Hamilton
are still for controlling their own gas
business. The people know a good
thing when they see 1.-THE people
are not to be fooled.

AN AWESOME TERN

A new kind of unemployment has
been discovered.
To be real highbrowish, one must
now talk of chronological unemploy-
ment."
The awesome term is explained by
Lewis Corey, writing in the Annal-
ist, financial magazine: "An unem-
ployment developing gradually, like
creeping paralysis, in the midst of
unprecedented prosperity, the by
product of chronological efficiency"
In other words, labor-displacing
machinery and scientific processes
cause unemployment.
"Cyclical unemployment-the re-
suit Of periodical depressions- will
end, but even if production reaches
the high peaks of 1926, it will not end
chronological unemployment" says
Mr.. Corey.
Statistics are quoted to prove that
every increase in manufacturing out
put in recent years has been done
with less and less workers-more un-
"The cyclical recovery
Of 1885," he says, Increased tech
biological unemployment"
Mr.. Corey quotes the Journal of
Commerce:
"This country has upon it's hands
4 problem of chronic unemployment,
likely to grow worse than better.

THOSE NICARAGUANS

Nicaraguans under Sandino, impu-
IDENTIFY calling themselves patriots,
raided a marine supply train, captur-
ed machine guns, ammunition, uni
forms and food. After eating food
they arrayed themselves in the uni
forms, set up the machine guns and
engaged other marines in battle, kill
ing five of them.
Following this these barbarians
hid the clothing, buried the guns and
went to work in their fields like re-
spectacle farmers peacefully tilling
the soil.
This is not playing the game ac-
cording to accepted customs.
If there is not some reformation in
their conduct it may take long time
to civilize such people and bring them
to seeing things in the right light.
The United States has the civilizing
power, and doubtless will use it.
Several hundred Nicaraguans have
been civilized during the administra-
tion war that is being conducted
there. The unfortunate thing, how
ever, is that when a man is civilized
by an airplane bomb he isn't much
good as sugar plantation worker,
and they are needed-to make the
profits for the American bankers who
are the real makers of the war the
American boys are fighting-By G.

EIGHT HOURS HITS SNAG

European proponents of labor
progress via legislation find one of
their strong arguments weakened if
not nearly destroyed by the present
effort of the British government to
bring up for reconsideration or re-
vision in 1929 the eight-hour draft
convention adopted by the Washing
ton conference of the International
Labor Organization of the League of
Nations.
This convention was to become op-
erative when ratified by a majority
of the industrial nations. Thus far
only Belgium has ratified and put
into effect the eight-hour day. Italy
and France have ratified condition
ally-and the conditions have never
been met.
The British government now gives
notice of move to reconsider. There
are many who see in this move the
end of the International Labor Office,
or at least the end of its usefulness.
Others, however, believe the issue will
cause such rallying of the workers
that the British government will have
to back down.
In any effort to foresee the fate of
the international Labor Organiza-
tion and the outcome of this or any
other similar issue, it is important
to remember that labor has only a
one-third voice in the operation of
the organization. Government dele
gates have one-third voice and en-
ployers have a one-third voice. In
combination, employers and govern
ment delegates control.
1t may develop after all, as a great
many Americans have believed, that
the American method of purely trade
union action is the one method which
reliance can be placed.
