The result of every such system is
that the public gets only that which
those in office want published The
hand-out system was largely re-
sponsible for the secrecy that sur
rounded the making of the Teapot

cessfully maintained for some time
thereafter. 1t has been worked to

No politician has yet promised an

promises any candidate could make.
information services" are good
when they facilitate the getting of
legitimate information. But custom
arily they degenerate into systems for
divulging favorable information and
concealing all other information. Mr..
Johnson reports, for the benefit of all
American newspaper men, that this
system is in a state of high perfec-
tion in Geneva, and it is as important
for wage earners to know this as fol
newspaper men. 1t is equally i'm.
portant that they should know the
same system operates like clock in

Corporations have, since the war,
which brought the system into perfec-
ton, been using the same method. The
idea is that if you turn out enough
news to supply the demand for news
nobody will wonder about the news
that is not turned out Therefor, the
job of every press agent, publicity
man, public relations counsel" or
information service director" )" is to
turn out enough favorable news to
blanket the news that is not favorable.
Publicity men are suppressing the
most vital and interesting news and
the system works at least rs per cent
efficiently.
There will be no permanent destruc-
ton of the information service" sys-
TEN for long time, even though there
may be temporary efforts to crash the
gates of real news here and there.
1t will take new kind of journalism
with return to old ideals before the
suppression machines will finally go
to the junk heap.
Meanwhile, the evil rates with "the
shame of the cities" that stirred US in
the mucky nineties.

The council is a group who have
usurped direction of domestic affairs,

terroristic tactics and have outlawed
strikes, established compulsoyr arbi-

Ogg Reports Proceedings
Forty-fifth Convention Of
O.S.F. of L. to Trades Council

At the last meeting of Trades
Council, Delegate Stanley Ogg sub
mitted his report of the proceedings
of the forty-ffth annual convention
of the Ohio State Federation of La
Dor held at Columbus, September IT.
21, as follows:
Officers and Members, Greetings:
| hereby submit this, my report as
a delegate to the forty-fifth annual
convention of the Ohio State Fedora
tion of Labor, held September 1921,
1923, at the Neil House convention
hall, Columbus, Ohio.
The convention opened with 1873
unions, 20 central bodies and total
number of delegates present repre-
sented as 236; a total number of votes
on roll call as 422, necessary to choice
212; fortunately there was no contest
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1928-10-05

during the entire proceedings, and the
roll call vote was not necessary.
The city of Hamilton was repre-
sented by Brothers George BRANDED,
metal polishers; Jack Scheaf, stage
employees, and Stanley Ogg, repre-
sentnig the Cooperative Trades and
Labor Council and Molders' Union
No. 68.
One of the speakers at the opening
day was the Hon. Gov. A. V. Donahey,
who is member of the Typograph-
ical Union, who delivered quite an
interesting address containing some
very interesting statistics concerning
the state of Ohio. The best and most
instructive address delivered during
the convention was made by Rabbi
Jacob Tarshish, of the Temple Israel,
his subject "The Relationship of the
Church and the Synagogue to the
Laboring Classes" was in my opin-
ion masterpiece, and probably no
speaker in the country is more fear
less and able to present this subject.
Many other speakers addressed the
convention, and some very instructive
speeches were indulged in during the
week
Arnold Bill, acting president of the
federation, presided at the sessions
and conducted the sessions in good
style. One notable feature of the
week was the large delegation from
Cincinnati who came to the conven--
ton in special car; there were
sixty-four delegates from that city.
At the first days session the sew
eral different committees were ap-
pointed to handle the work of the
convention. OF these Bro. Geo. Bran
del, of the metal polishers of Hamil
ton, was a member of the committee
on education. Stanley Ogg, your dele
of organization. There were As reso-
lutions introduced in the convention
dealing with many subjects, some of
the most important being: No. l,
dealing with the deplorable conditions
confronting the miners of Ohio and
calling upon the labor movement to
again come to their rescue this win
ter (adopted); Nos. and and 3, deal
ing with the hours of employment of
post office clerks (adopted); No. A,
dealing with police and firemen pen
sions (adopted); No. 5, concerning the
unfair northumberland and Fom-
ite Co, Of Elmira, NJ y, makers of
fire fighting equipment (adopted) /;
No 6, relative to pension for the Gus
todians of public school buildings
(adpoted); No. Z, relative to impress
ing upon the membership of the many
unions the necessity of buying only
union-made goods (adopted); No. 8,
relative to the Cooper HaWes bill,
concerning the control of prison-made
goods (adopted); No 10, requesting
the federation to have bill passed
to outlaw spraying machines (adopt-
ed; No. II, asking for the appoint
ment of trades unionist on the sew
eral civil service commissions of the
state (adopted) No. II, asking for
the state to increase the pay of the
employees of the different departments
Of the industrial division so as to
make them more efficient (adopted)

tablish the fve-day week where pos
sible to relieve the present unemploy-
ment situation (adopted); No. IA

The Cherry
- Where with our
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

That the information service of
the League of Nations at Geneva is
drifting into Suppression service" ]"
is the opinion of Albin E. Johnson,
writing for Editor and Publisher, the
journal of newspaperdom.
This tendency is the general ten
dency wherever information services"
are introduced into government of
fees.
1t is important to know that the sys-
tenn which governs the getting or Civ
ing of news at League of Nations
headquarters also governs the same
ground in the headquarters of the In
ternational Labor office.
The same system is and has long
been in use in Washington, D. c.,
where it has come to be known as the
"hand-out SYSTEM" meaning that
newspaper men are expected to take
what is presented to them on nice,
neat mimeographed sheets and to look
no further. In fact, looking further
is severely penalized in ways well
known to those who have news to dis
pense.
The few sincere efforts that have
been made to break down the vicious
hand-out system have come to moth
ing because office holders have, gen
orally, more endurance than newspa-
per men whose jobs, after all, depend
on writing fairly sustained volume
of news and not in breaking down
systems.
