ELECTRIC PLANT MAKES
HUGE PROFIT

The report of the city electric de-
partment returned last Tuesday by
Superintendent Charles Miller, GER
tainly shows a healthy condition in
that department. According to the
report the department makes net
profit of $50, 3,591.37. That means that
much profit over and above every item
of expense, including 100000 paid
into the sinking fund for bonds and
interest. In addition there was made:
1077 new services and lilo new met
ers installed costing $9,308 and S8,400
respectively, and new lines installed
at cost of $11,235.
This means the electric plant made
a gross profit of more than 100000.
The report certainly speaks well for
the efficiency of Superintendent Miller
and his co-workers in the electric de-
partment. And with a huge profit
went a service to electric consumers
all during 1927 that was par excel
lence. At the rate the department is
going, it will pay for the new plant
in three or four years.
And further, with this big profit, to-
gether with excellent service, Hamil-
ton current users pay cents kilo-
watt, the same for which people in
Middletown pay 10 cents. In other
words, Hamilton people get their
electric current for almost so per cent
less than they do in Middletown. De-

WANT PRIVATE
PLANTS TO MANU-
FACTURE ARMS

Washington.-Secretary of War Da-
Wis asks congress to revive the pri-
vate manufacture of war munitions.
He says this industry, except ammu-
milton, has disappeared in the United
States since the World War.
"Eacr plant" he writes, SHOULD
receive in time of peace, as far as
possible, small order for the manu-
facture of articles which they will be
called upon to manufacture in time
of war. Only by obtaining experience
in such way can it develop and
keep alive the art of manufacture.
Modern war is war of machines; !;
modern war requires these machines
in number heretofore undreamed Of"

PARTY LINES :
Torn Apart In Present Con-
greSS

Washington.-The party lash has
lost it's terrors for members of the
present congress. While this condi-
tion has existed before it is the first
time reactionary elements have not
attempted to terrify non-partisans by
calling them enemies of the social
order" The reason for this change
is because members of congress refuse
to be stampeded, and in view of the
coming presidential election the re-
dictionaries have concluded to make
the best of bad situation.
The first open break in party lines
was when Messrs. La Toilette and
Blaine, of Wisconsin; Frazier and Nye
of North Dakota, all republicans, to-
gether with Senator Shipstead, Far
mer-labor of Minnesota, called on the
republican majority to agree that a
vote at this session would be had on
farm relief, on an anti-injunction bill
and on an investigation of the govern
ment's policy in Central and South
America. This was an unusual move
but the majority was forced to make
concessions to the Independents, who
few years ago, would be denounced
for their presumption.
Non-partisanship in the senate was
IL
Messrs. Ware and Smith.
independence was also shown in
the house where the republicans have
clear majority of 80 members. This
majority, however, was overthrow
when a combination rejected the rev
enue bill that is urged by the presi
dent and by Secretary Of the Treas
ury Mellon.

MORE WAGE PHILOSOPHY"

"Who reduces wages ?" asks the
Wall Street Journal, whose editor
proceeds to suavely answer his ques-
ton thus:
I'm nine cases out of ten it is the
wage Garner himself when he does
not save his job by doing more and
better work for the same money"
The W. S. J. has repeatedly declar-
ed that our prosperity" would end
and overproduction would result il
our nations basic industries operated
100 per cent.
Workers are now told that wages
drop because they fail to produce
more.
This reasoning" sounds good tt
employers who would justify wage re.
ductions.
The worker, fastened to a machine
is always blamed, as matter o,
course. When the machine produces
too much, the worker is either laie
off or his wages are reduced. He is
then told he did not do enough work

WHY NOT EXTEND IT?

John E. Edgerton, president of the
National Association of Manufactur-
ers, gives hearty approval to the la
Dor injunction.
He says he believes" the injunc-
ton has saved millions of dollars
worth of property, and that this writ
has probably" saved lives in prevent
ing strikes.
Mr.. Edgerton is quite guesser.
If the labor injunction is such a
wonderful process, why confne it to
wage earners?
Why not have equity courts super
sede government by law, annul all
statutes and empower select group
of injunction judges to rule the ma
ton?
This is where Mr. Edgerton's logic
leads him-unless he believes govern
ment by law should apply to the busi-
ness man and government by discre-
tion should apply to the wage worker
Will Mr.. Edgerton acknowledge he
believes in class rule?

TORIES WOULD
REDUCE UNEM-
PLOYMENT RELIEF

London, England tory gov
ernment is attempting to reduce un-
employment relief. Conservatives
who represent industrial centers are
refusing to support the measure be-
cause of increased unemployment and
destitution in their constituencies.
One tory showed that 751 per
10000 population receive relief.
The liberals are also alarmed.
They fear that the proposal will cause
voters to retire them to private life
and that they will be succeeded by
labor party members.

ONE-MAN INFLUENCE GROWS


The "big man" theory of govern
ment has been strengthened since the
war, says the Index, house organ
published by the New York Trust
Company.
Shortly after the war the theory
was current that the spread of demo-
cratic government and the growing
complexity of civilization would make
it impossible for a single individual
to dominate national affairs. The era
of the big man" was believed to
have passed.
"Since the war;" says the Index,
there have arisen in several coun-
tries men who, practically single
handed, control the administration of
government. Pilsudski in Poland.
Primo de Rivera in Spain. Mussolini
in Italy, Carlos Ibanez in Chill and
Mustapha Kemal Pasha in Turkey
represent individuals who, because of
their enormous personal influence,
have been able to take charge Of their
country's affairs.
The Index confines itself to 'per-
sonal influence" explanation of how
these dictators secured control.

A GOOD START, MR.. PRICE

In his first public address here, be-
fore the Kiwanis Club, Tuesday eve
ming, Hamilton's new city manager,
Russell P. Price, speaking of the
city's utilities, said:
Considering the immense amounts
offered at times for the Hamilton util-
tiles, there is no doubt in my mind
but that they are worth just as much
to the city if properly Conducted
The Press desires to say to you,
Mr.. Price, that you will find about 80
per cent of Hamilton's people agree
ing with you in your contention. Your
utterance on the utilities problem,
strikes a popular chord.
From all indications, thus far, the
new city council was wise in its selec-
tion of its city manager. The Press
wishes for Mr.. Price every success in
the position and pledges itself to do
all in its humble capacity to assist
in every way that it can to this end.

To-day we are travelling in high
automobiles, on speedy trains,
by steamboat, and even in airplanes;
we communicate with distant points
by telegraph, telephone, and radio; but
only a comparatively small percent
age of our schools have made equal
progress. Despite the fact that the
past 25 years have seen great i'm
provement, education is not keeping
pace with the scientific developments
of our age. The result is enormous
waste and loss" Representative
Daniel R. Reed, of New York.
"It is a pity-great God! it is a
crying pity-that the great power OF

employed to the publication of public
office where corruption is known to

genius which has amassed millions

| FASCIST ITALY
Here's a glimpse of how the work
ers fare in Fascist Italy, as told in al
item appearing in the weekly tabloi
of international labor news, issue
by the United States department o
labor:
"Italy: Wage Adjustments. -
order to provide for the mutual bene
fit of employers and the 10000 Ia
borers working in the mills producin
railway material, it is said that a l
per cent wage reduction is to be mad
in the near future, together with a
increase in working hours. This &C
: justment, it is intimated, will prever
the dropping of workmen."
The foregoing is just another ra
, of light on Darkest Italy and is hardl
in agreement with the glowing pit
lures of the Fascist regime painte
by Fascist admirers in the Unite
States. The big laugh is in the e,
planation, handed out by the Fa
cist dictators, that the wage cut ar
increase in working hours is done fl
!, the MUTUAL benefit of the emplo,
ers and workers. The truth is,
course, that the biggest part of IL
mutual benefit" will go to the en-
ployers, who are getting virtually a
the benefit" there is in the Fasci
regime.

The, Recognition of Marking

The dejure recognition of the bloody re-
gime of Chang Kai-shek in China by the
United States government is direct slap
in the face of Japan and England. It is one
more step in the ever-increasing determine
ton of American Imperialism to take the
lead in world reaction.
At the moment when Japan was fighting
against the nationalist regime at Marking
few months ago the United States aroused
the fury of the Toxic government of Tana-
ka by concluding a tariff treaty with Nank-
ing At that time Secretary of State Kellogg
publicly stated that the conclusion of the
treaty constituted de facto recognition "at
least" After study of international
law and American precedents it is now an
nounced that the treaty constituted de facto
or actual recognition of Marking as the
government.
The recognition of Marking is also another
affront to England, inasmuch as the policy
of the Baldwin tory government in China has
been directed toward joint action of the i'm
perialist powers having interests in China.
Thus, while antagonisms are sharpening
in Europe as emphasized by the British
French naval treaty on the eve of the sign
ing of the Kellogg pact, the open assault by
the German representative Count Won Berns-
dorff, on the policies of England and France
at the annual assembly of the league of
nations and the constant provocations of all
imperialist powers against the Soviet Union,
the Unsuitable Wall Street gang intensifies its
drive in the Far East, bringing nearer the
war that is now in preparation by every pre-
datory nation on the face of the earth
Not moment is to be lost by the class
conscious workers in energetically working
with all speed to perfect machinery that will
be able to withstand the impact of the next
world war and prepare forces that will be
able, in the course of the conflict to change
the imperialist war into a civil war against
capitalism.

By II. c. WILLIAMS.

There is a marked radical change
taking place among the Negro mas
ses of North America, despite the
fact that there are so many obsta-
cles in their way. With the open be-
trsyal of the race by the republican
and democratic parties, we are OBJ
serving an theological revolt on the
part of the entire race. This revolt
is being symbolized and developed
under the hegemony of black lead
ership. The Negro masses have
been predominantly under the in
fluence of the republican party for
over sixty years. The republican
party has been able to symbolic
Abraham Lincoln as the martyr, the
man who freed the Negro race from
chattel-slavery. 1t is with this myth
the capitalist class of America has
