LEGISLATIVE
LEAGUE MEETS

The non-partisan Legislative League
of the Cooperative Trades and Labor
Council of Hamilton met last Friday
night in Trades Council hall This
was the first meeting of the league
since appointed some time ago by the
central body. Many of the local or
ganizations responded, but not all of
them by any means.
Stanley Ogg reported that he had
received the QUESTIONABLE blanks
from the secretary of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor with the instruc-
tions to get them in the hands of the
candidates Immediately. This was
done, and at the meeting Friday night
the signed questionnaires were filled
out and returned by VIM. Goodwin for
representative, John W. Martin for
representative, John Heath for rep
resentative, and David DeArmond
candidate for state senator.
Ed. Sims was elected chairman;
Stanley Ogg, secretary, of the league
Meetings will be held every Friday
night in Trades Council hall, and
every delegate should attend those
meetings regularly.
1t is expected that more of the can
didates running for office will submit
their signed questionnaires by the
next meeting.

MILLION DOLLARS
Back Wage Will Be Paid
New York Workers

New York.-This city will pay
$1,000,000 back wages to more than
$500 claimants. This is the differ
ence in pay of mechanics between
what they received from the city and
what they should have received under
a state law calling for the payment of
prevailing rates.
The painters in the department of
plant and structures carried the case
to the United States supreme court,
where the law was upheld. Individual
amounts run from 5000 to $4,000
The supreme court decided that the
claimants were entitled to the diff
ference in pay only in cases where
they signed the payroll under pro-
test. Mechanics who accepted the
wages offered by the city without pro-
test have no basis for recovery.
The New York state law provides
that on public work municipalities
must pay the wage rate prevailing
locally. The supreme court recently
annulled the Arizona prevailing wage
law, but this applied to private con-
tractors doing public work. In the
New York case the municipality was
the employer.

TEACHERS REFLECT

Chicago.-Miss Mary c. Barker
and Mrs. Florence C. Hanson were
reelected president and secretary
treasurer of the American Federation
of Teachers at their convention in
this city.
A feature of the convention was
President Barker's plea for education
uncontrolled by privilege.
"Shall the schools of the people be-
come the vehicles in which special in
terest may parade before impression
able youth their particular adapta-
ton Of the drama in human affairs ?"
she asked.
"Shall youth, unsuspecting and de-
fenseless, committed by society to the
teacher for his quest of truth, be met
at the threshold of his career by a
person who carries in his soul, if not
in his pocket, commission to divert
that youth into conformity with some
particular group thought?"

LABOR DAY
Celebration Plans Under
Way

The Labor Day picnic committee
appointed some time ago to make all
necessary arrangements for the cele-
bration, is already hard at work on
the preliminaries necessary for the
outing.
Some of the advertising is COM
pleted and will be distributed in a
few days. Jack Scheaf, who is in
charge of the advertising, says he is
going to do his best to let every citi-
zen in Butler county know that there
is going to be Labor Day outing
Monday, September 3rd.
Chas. Baynes and Robert Service
will put the automobile on display at
every opportunity, and from what we
can learn the machine is beauty.
Booking of some free attractions
is under way, and the committee IA
charge of this feature promises some
thing good for this year.
Like always, the fireworks will be
up to specifications and the best that
money can buy.
The Labor Day picnic will likely be
great deal better this year thar
last, and all who attended last years
celebration know it was a gigantic
affair.

WORM CATERERS
Form Union and Win Higher
Pay

Toronto. Q. L. N. Indicating
the spread OF the spirit of unionism,
local workers in one of the most
ancient industries, worm gathering,
have formed union and staged the
most successful strike in recent labor
history
When So boys formed probably the
first worm gatherers' union in history
and turned on a local bait company
with demand for 20 per cent ad-
vance in rates per 100 worms, the
company turned up its nose. The
worm workers did not appeal to the
department of labor or the mayor;
they sat tight
The company's best efforts to Sc
cure supplies failed, and angry ang-
lers were soon buzzing around it's
ears, clamoring for fresh, fat worms.
After several days the company
wormed out of its difficulty by com
plete surrender.

THE FAMILY
Is Best Place to Train Chill
dren, Says Bureau
Worker

Washington.-Ther is no ade-
quate substitute for the family as an
institution for the nurture and train
ing of children, according to Miss
Katherine F. Lenroot, assistant to the
chief of the United States Children's
Bureau.
Miss Lenroot urges the care and
protection of dependent children in
their own homes and traces recent de-
velopments in this phase of welfare
work.
The statement refutes claims of op-
ponents of the children's bureau
that governmental unit would control
children, rather than be helpful to
them and their parents.
"In spite of the disturbances to
which family life has been subjected
by rapidly changing conditions of the
modern world" said Miss Lenroot, 81
believe that its fundamental basis is
today exactly what it has been
through the ages. No adequate sub
stitution for the family as an institu-
tion for the nurture and training of
children has yet been found, and
venture to assert that none will be
found SO long as life as we know it
exists upon this planet.
Zone of the hopeful signs in family
life is the eager desire of parents for
knowledge that will help them to be
more understanding and more efficient
fathers and mothers. Another is the
increasing insistence upon the con-
servation of the home as the primary
objective of all movements for the
care and protection of children"

TEXTILE BARONS
Can't Force Wage Cut On
New Bedford Workers

New Bedford, Mass.-The 26 strike
closed mills in this city will be re-
opened, according to the New Bedford
Manufacturers Association.
The employers say they wish "to
meet the desires of those who have
urged reopening in the interest of the
number who want to return to work. :"
The workers declare that the at
tempt to break the strike will fail.
The mills manufacture high grade
of goods, and a comparatively small
group of trained trade unionists are
key men to the situation.
The strikers deny that there is a
demand for the mills being reopened,
and they point to the city-wide sup
port of their resistance against wage
cuts.
When the strike was called an or.
ganization dual to the legitimate
United Textile Workers Union func-
toned, but these workers have since
joined the regular trade union.

UNIONISTS WANT
A SAY-SO

Montreal, Quebec.-Organized labor
made sharp answer to the refusal of
the minister of public works and
labor to appoint trade unionist on
the workmen's compensation commits
sion.
The government official talks about
"class representation" but is willing
to appoint unionist on the advisory
board of the commission.
The executive committee of the
Trades and Labor Council reported to
that body:
"In so far as the reference to class
representation is concerned, we can
not but assume that the advisory
commission comes within that cate
CORY in its entirety. Furthermore, it
is difficult to reconcile the position
taken by the government which, while
recognizing the ability of the work
ers to act in an advisory capacity re-
fuses to recognize their ability to
administer"

SUMMER HEALTH
TALKS
SUNSTROKE
Sponsored by the Ohio Public
Health Association

f1ealCn Association
Knowing the right thing to do, and
doing it promptly is often necessary.
1t IS never more necessary than in
dealing with a case of sunstroke.
Sunstroke usually comes on sud-
denly. Its victim is practically al
ways someone doing muscular work
outdoors, under a hot sun, and in a
humid atmosphere. A man may be
feeling perfectly well. He may have
"a touch of headache but nothing an
noying enough to demand much at
tention. In two or three minutes he
may be unconscious. He will have
high fever, and may or may not
have convulsions.
There are two things to remem-
ber in making the diagnosis. The
patient is always deeply unconscious.
There is always high fever.
Treatment must be immediate but
never stimulative. No person can en-
dure fever as high as is the fever in
sunstroke very long, and live. If ice
is at hand, put an icebag on the pa
TENTS head and rub his BODY with
ice. If it is impossible to get ice
quickly, put the patient in cold
bath and watch to see that he does
not drown. When the temperature is
down to 101 the treatment should be
stopped. The patient may recover
consciousness in half an hour or so.
He is generally out of danger in two
or three days.
Heat exhaustion is an entirely diff
fent matter. 1t is due to heart failure
caused by too much heat and too lit
tie vitality. The patient is indoors
usually. He has no temperature and
he is usually not unconscious. The
treatment consists in getting him tc
cooler place, in keeping him quiet
and in giving mild stimulation
Apoplexy and epilepsy both produce
unconsciousness. In epilepsy there is
no fever, but there may be fever in
Iapoplexy.

H. S. PUPILS HAVE
PRE.GAME PARADE:
Snake Dance and Cheer in Rally
at Central Park

One OF the widest and most en-
thuslastlc high school pre- game
celebrations which have been con-
Quoted in this city In years took
place last night when approximate
ly 500 girls and 100 boys marched
in snake-llke fashion about the CEN
ter of the city in back of a. picked
up student band. The event was
held in anticipation of victory
over Hartford Public High school

The celebration lasted until far
into the night and it was near mid
night when the activity came to an
end. "Gentile's chariot" one of the
students se-ealled collegiate cars,
led the parade. 1t was painted in
