New York City has become in
fact the Injunction City, the City
of Police Terror, under the rule
of the parties of Big Business, the

In this critical situation, it is
necessary that every labor organi-

the tide of capitalist terror
against the labor movement of
New York City.
Help the cafeteria workers on
strike. Join their picket line in

workers financially and in every
possible way. Don't patronize scab

ers, Commission Finds

San Juan, Porto Rico.-Organized
workers are better qualified than un-
organized to present industrial dis
putes, according to the Porto Rican
mediation and conciliation commits
sion.
From it's own experience" the re-
port states, that commission knows
that organized laborers show more
hardness and intelligence in discus
sing their matters than disorganized
laborers, making it easier to reach an
understanding without the interven-
ton of the board.
eve must declare that striking la
borers have accepted the service OF
this commission every time they have
been offered to them. OF late, the
majority of the employers have also
accented them, and it is gratifying 20
state that the number of employers
accepting our intervention increases
every year in a remarkable proper
ton"
The commission stated that where
workers are unorganiZed "the solution
of the strike appears more difficult. .

RAILROAD FIGHTS
Law That Protects Rights
of Labor

New Orleans.-The Federal Cir
cult Court of Appeals will this month
consider an appeal of the Texas &
New Orleans railroad against de-
cision by Federal Judge J. c. Hutche-
son, il. (Texas, Houston, district)
that the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks may organize and that the
carrier can not force them to join
company union"
The workers have this right under
the Federal Railway Act The rail
managers are fighting to maintain
their company union" and challenge
the constitutionality of the law
They declare they will carry the case
to the United States Supreme Court.
Judge Hutcheson's decision is a
sweeping denial of the managers
attempt to smash the clerks union.
He threatened to Jail the managers if
they ignore his order.
The law gives workers the right to
organize as they see fit and compels
managers to recognize such organi-
cations. This is a challenge to the
company union" system, which is
operating on many anti-union roads.

BENEFIT EUCHER
For Lou Nau Will Be Held
At Labor Temple
Saturday

A huge benefit eucher party will be
held at the Labor Temple auditorium
Saturday afternoon and evening, the
proceeds of which will be given to
Lou Nou, one of Hamilton's best
known trade unionists and labor
leader. The eucher is sponsored by
Carpenters Union No. 637 of which
organization Mr.. Nau has been presi-
dent for many years and one of its
most active members.
Nearly three years ago, to be exact,
on May 13, 1926, Lou fell from a
scaffold on which he was working,
breaking his leg, and from which he
has been incapacitated from working
since. For many months he was con-
fined to mercy hospital, in fact for
more than year and half.
His brother carpenters felt that
something should be done to relieve
his financial strain and decided upon
the euchre Saturday as the means to
permit his friends to assist. No more
deserving trade unionist ever trod the
paths of Hamilton than Lou Nau. Ali
organized labor and their friends are
urged to attend and making the affair
a rousing success in financial way
The finest lot of prizes ever gather
ed for such event has been accumulated
by those in charge. The public IN
general is invited.

VICTOR KLEIBER
IS DEAD
Was Leader in Movement
and MOlders' Secretary
Many Years

1t was with much regret and sor-
row that members of Hamilton or
ganized labor, last week, learned
of the death of Victor Klei-
ber, we'll known union labor leader,
at his residence, 4530 Forest avenue,
South Norwood. He was for the past
20 years secretary of the Internation-
al Molders' Union of North America.
Funeral services were conducted
Saturday morning at st. Matthews
Church., South Norwood. Prominent
labor leaders from distant parts at
tended, and the large crowd present
attested the popularity and the es-
TEEN in which the deceased was held
by his fellow man and neighbors.
Mr.. Kleiber was born in Buffalo
November 20, 1857. At the age of 15
his family moved to Milwaukee,
where he began his apprenticeship as
molder with the butcher, Vose &
Adams Co. Later he moved to st.
Louis and was initiated into Local
Union No. 10 of the international
Molders' Union of North America.
He was elected business agent of
st. Louis and vicinity by the con-
ference board of the union March,
1901, a position he held until he was
chosen assistant secretary in Jan
uary, 1904.
At the death of Secretary Denny,
November 20, 1907, the executive
board elected Mr.. Kleiber to succeed
him. He was reelected at the Mil
waukee convention in 1921 and at
every succeeding convention there
after until the time of his death. The
most recent Endorsement of his
capability and personality came from
the convention at Montreal, Quebec,
October 20, 1923.
Mr.. Kleiber is survived by his
widow and two children. The son,
Victor Kleiber, Jr., resident of Little
Rock, Ark, is auditor of the Arkan-
sas state highway department. The
daughter is Mrs. Joseph Stadelman

With the return of Luther Epper-
son to the office of county sheriff,
back also to his former position of
jailor, E. r. Legg, who held down the
job under Sheriff Epperson from 1924
to 1926. The appointment of Legg
proves pleasing to the union men and
women of the city, as it is felt that
in this appointment one of the new
officials, at least, give recognition to
the organized labor movement.
Earnie Legg is one of the best
known trade unionists in the city, and
popular too. In fact he is a double
header in the movement, being a
member of both the BARRIERS and
musicians unions. He is the business
agent and secretary of the BARRIERS
Union and has been for years and
is live one. In his dealings with
those with whom he comes in con-
tact in his official duties as union
representative he is always considered
fair, reasonable and courteous and is
always well received
AS jailor before, he made good,
and Sheriff Epperson shows in re
appointing him he recognizes ability.
In fact it shows the sheriff knows
good thing when he sees it.

bear down SO heavily as with the en-

passing has cast deep gloom.
Lena, as we all addressed her, was
one of our co-workers but seven short
months, but during those few
months time, through her pleasing
ways and many kindly acts, she en-

Lena is gone and there is lonli-

creating sorrow among us all that
will endure, we know, many, many

To her devoted sister and brothers,
left to mourn the loss of truly kind
and loving sister, in this, their deep

Nonpareil and Press force extend
their deep and sincere sympathy.

5 DAYS FOR WORKERS;
6 DAYS FOR MACHINE

Detroit.-The Ford Motor Company

will operate on the six-day basis.
An additional 10000 employees will
be needed under the new plan.
The above is summary of an off
cial statement issued by the company.
The new system means six days for
the machine and five days for the
employees.
The company will assign six men
to five jobs to provide for two rest
days for each employe. The five-day
week has been in operation since 1925.
Welfare workers in this city join

Death of Popular Co-WOrk-

Over Press Force

Miss Lena Pietsch passed away
last Sunday morning at 2:25 o'clock
at her home, 800 Eaton avenue. She
was born and raised in Hamilton, and
lived here all her life, and through
various positions she held and gained
q wide circle of friends and ac-
ouaintances with whom, because OF
her genial disposition, she was very
popular and to whom the sad news
of her death caused much sorrow and
regret.
Miss Pietsch was i'll but a few
days, having laid down work at her
desk for the last time just the Mon
day afternoon preceding her death,
and but few friends knew of her
serious illness until learning of her
passing away The many floral ex-
pressions of sympathy and the great
number who visited the stricken home
on Monday evening and attended the
services Tuesday afternoon, express
the popularity and loving esteems in
which she was held by friends and
negihbors.
Miss Pietsch was the efficient
bookkeeper in the office of the Non

came as a great shock and caused

The protest was submitted to Sem

Mr.. Butterworth's objections are
along the usual lines-that the juris-

Mr.. Butterworth seems to believe
that laws should accord with the

the principles contained in the Ship
