FRIDAY, MAY "a, 1929

The local union bakers, backed up
by the international Bakery and Cor
fectionery Workers Union, continue
their fight against the large bread
combines who are non-union. The
Ward, Holland and National bread
trusts perform all kinds Of trickery
to get their goods into groceries,
Hamilton has plenty of bakeries who
make little better bread right here
at home than these large non-union
concerns. The grocery stores can
assist the local bakers materially il
they refuse to handle the outside
products.

''The Moving Finger Writes"
About Labor Euents

"Some of these matters of offense,
like freedom of the seas, have ceased
to be important, or at any rate have
become much less important than
hitherto owing to changes in fighting
conditions, economic strength and in
ternational agreements. All that is
now required is to make our formally
declared position conform to the real
facts and possibilities. Understand
ing between Great Britain and the
United States is essential to the rest
fulness of the world"
The former labor premier denounces
the nations who signed the pact re-
nouncing war for continuing to cling
to the weapons and diplomacy of war
for security.

CULINARY WORKERS
CAN'T TELL TRUTH

Portland, Ore.-Culinary workers
are enjoined from stating that res
taurant in this city is unfair to organ
lied labor.
The concern forces employees to
work seven days week, but Judge
Kanzler holds, in effect, that if that
fact were generally known, the long
hour restaurant would lose patron
age.
AS equity courts have ruled that
patronage is property and as equity
courts are intended to protect prop
erty, this reasoning easily justifies
gagging the workers.

No better investment can be made
by the building trades in any city
than a real live Building Trades
Council. Wherever a Building Trades
Council exists and the affiliated
building trades work together for the
best interests of all, the trades are
always prosperous. Not much bene-
fit can be derived from building
trades where they are not strongly
organized.

SCRANTON LABOR LEADER
DIES IN RNESS.-Lawrence F.


Hart, president of the Scranton, Pa,
Central Labor Union since January,
1922, and for more than quarter of
century potential force in the
labor movement, literally "died in the
harness" recently. Mr.. Hart, stricken
with apoplexy after making a power
full plea in behalf of the Labor Col
lege movement at dinner in Hotel
Redington, Wilkes-Barre, died within
few minutes as three physicians
worked desperately to stay the hand
of death.
Larry" Hart, as ne was affection
ately known among the thousands of
organized workers, men and women,
of the Lackawanna valley and in la
Dor circles throughout the state, was
native of Ormskirk, Lancashire,
England, but since boy of 8 had liv-
ed in Scranton. He came to America
in 1883 with his brother.-Trades

The Cherry
" Where with our
Tree Lit,ae Ha,eAst ,.s
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly. sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

News pours over the wires, show
ing us each day little bit of what
the world is doing and what it is like.
There is 32.1 per cent gain in
earnings for 226 corporations shown
for the first quarter of 1929 over the
same quarter of 1928.
Earnings pile up; presumably wages
do not advance so rapidly. But it is
predicted that by the years end
million workers will be on the five
day week
Wages will have to go up; hours
will have to come down, if we are able
to take care of the surplus produced
by constantly improved machinery.
Otherwise production will pile up.

will be jam-and a bad jam, too.
Another new machine comes in.
Daily papers-labor papers, too
ought to have department for the
"New Machine of the Week." Almost
each week brings one The latest is a
robot that takes in quarters and re-
turns nickels, detecting bad quarters
and so informing the depositor of
said bad quarters.
The International Paper and Power
Company is shown buying daily
papers in South Carolina and Geor-
gia, acting through two companies
which it finances. Anybody is free to
/, write an essay on the chance there
would be of fair strike reports in
these papers, especially if the strike
was against any concern in which
the power company had an interest.
A great many daily papers have
written hot editorials about this
power company combina-
ton, but many of those that have
| printed such editorials have their own
sacred cows, about which they say
nothing.
Charles A. Dana once wrote that a
free press is the bulwark of free gov
ernment. Other great men have said
the same thing. 1t remains true. To
the International Paper and Power
Company newspapers mean business;
nothing more. The truth is that is
about what they mean to large per-
centage of publishers-just business,
for profit.
