THE FAITHFUL FEW

Did you ever notice, when some
thing special has to be done, or when
the ordinary routine work of your
union has to be performed, that the
work is shifted upon someone else,
usually the willing few" commonly
known as the Clique" who work on
and on until energy is gone and pa
tience is exhausted? The others take
things calmly and unconcernedly,
shirk all responsibilities, refuse to do
committee work, attend the meetings
at intervals, take no part in the
affairs of the union, except to find
fault, and would not hold office if you
paid them for doing so. Listen to
them when they are nominated to fill
any position that becomes vacant, and
you hear them most respectfully de-
cline" 1t cannot be expected that
the few ardent, faithful workers will
keep up their efforts forever. 1t is
your duty to assist them, to encour-
age them, to take more active part
in the work of your union, to jump
into the breach and help the "olc
boys" who have stood the brunt o1
battle in the past-to gain greater
and nobler things. We all have ar
equal interest in the progress of oul
| oro,oi1ot;op ma cbo,,ld oil chars
equally in the work to be done ano
the burden to be borne. If you viii
not move in your own interest yo,
cannot expect others to make sacri
fees for you. Do your duty and do i
well, act manly part, come to th'
front. Take hold of the helm.

CARD MAN OR
UNION MAN? /?

A union man is a card man, but a
card man is not union man. Which
are you? Do you belong to your
union merely to hold your card and
reap it benefits; or do you make your
self active to promote unionism?
Do you attend your meetings, and
serve on committees You are re-
sponsible for the welfare of your local
union. If you are not present, it is
handicapped. Your criticisms should
be heard in the hall in open meet
ing, where they can studiously be ar
gued.
Do you belong to your union just
for what you can get out of it? Take
inventory Of yourself and see what
you are doing for the progress OF
your union and for the union label.
Don't be Stacker! Do your bit
and if the other fellow does some.
thing you think is crooked, be mar
enough to call it out on the fool
at your meeting.
If there is some one man in your
organization who is gifted with the
qualities that make for leadership
study him and listen to him. If he i.
true to the union principles, go will
him. If he is false philosopher
if his tactics are disrupting you
organization--be true to yourself ant
your local by taking measures to ex
pei him.
Be yourself, and don't let an,
smooth -tongued individual wean yo,
away from proven and establishe
principles.

THE FIvE-DAY WEEK IS VITAL

For a long time the five-day week
has been a real issue. But now it has
arrived as recognized issue. Ma
chinery is coming so rapidly, dis
placement is so general, unemploy-
ment so apparent, production so tre
mendous, profits so swollen, that rem
edy is a matter not to be put off.
James w Mullen, the able editor
of the San Francisco Labor Clarion,
puts the danger this way:
1--WE say to the captains of indus
try that the fve-day week must come
in the very near future. Without it
the American worker is in immediate
peril. Without the shorter work week
the toiler will be idle and unable to
purchase the products that are turn
ed out by his fellows that are en-
ployed, and without market Amer
lean commerce will be ruined, and
with commerce curtailed and starv-
ing, American industry cannot hope
to prosper and succeed A clear view
of the facts of the situation ought
to be sufficient to persuade the mas
tiers Of industry that it is also to their
best interest to concede the five-day
week, but if they cannot be persuad-
ed by logic, then, Of course, they will
| have to be moved by force, the force
of public opinion and the economic
power of the trade union movement.
The fve-day week is inevitable. Let
US have it peaceably and without any
discord whatever"
Whether American industry is to go
/ on a five-day week basis is no longer
an academic issue 1t has come down
among the real things of life To
argue against it is as fatuous and
! idle as was the late Judge Gary's
argument of a dozen years ago that

From Mexican organized labor
there has come a declaration of loy-

chiefs leading the rebellion, which
nothing justifes" in the opinion of

HAMILTON FORGING
AHEAD

That building construction in Ham
ilton, certain proof of business
prosperity, is considerably above the
average for cities in this vicinity, is
proved conclusively by comparison
of the quarterly report of R. G. Dun
q Co. for this district with the report
on Hamilton itself for the same pe-
riod.
The Dun report for the first three
months of the year, published in the
News, Saturday, stated there hao
been reduction of approximately
seven per cent in the total volume
Of building operations as compared
with the same months last year.
In direct contrast to this slump, the
report for Hamilton for the same
months shows a gain of Ia per cent
The comparison for March is even
more striking. Dun's report for this
month throughout the district shows
decrease of 33 per cent over March
1928, while the March report OF
Building Inspector Jacob Braun shows
a decided gain, being so per cent
higher than January and February
combined.
Building operations in Hamilton
since January are approaching the
half-million mark, and all indications
point to a new record for 1929.
While building statistics are rather
tiresome reading at best, they never.

trends, and Hamilton residents have
every reason to view with satisfaction

ATTEND UNION
MEETINGS

Too much stress can not be placed
upon the Importance of attending the
meetings of the different unions.
This was not written with any in
tention of debating as to how any
one must spend their leisure time;
still the interests of the trade union
ist lies first in the meetings of his
organization. AS a rule union meet
ing is of short duration, the sessions
likewise only occur once or twice a
month, and the time spent in the
union hall, voicing sentiments and
voting on important matters are of
too much Importance to be cast aside
for few hours spent elsewhere.
Be real union man or woman, for
that is the one who is always pres
ent at the meetings of his or her
organization who is alert to the ques-
tions of the day. In short, these are

The general assembly of Ohio has
gone home after creating two hun
dred and twenty three new laws. Not
one of the laws enacted has been
created to help the laboring masses
in this state. About the only law
that affects labor is the increase in
the gasoline tax, and if the majority
of laboring voters cast their ballots
the same way at the next election
they will probably get another gas
increase in the next assembly.

SENATOR BENDER's PROGRAM

SENATOR BENDER'S PROGRAM
Senator George Bender proposes a
campaign to obtain a more equal"
representation in the legislature. 1t
is a needed campaign. There is not
now Just representation in the Ohio
legislature, nor has there been since
the day of Mark Hanna, to whom
must be ascribed the onus of the
present situation.
Senator Bender is become the
champion of the great cities Of Ohio
in this respect. He is moving to
secure a referendum at the Novem-
ber election which may determine the
matter of fair representation in the
general assembly.
The task Senator Bender essays
truly may be regarded as gigantic
but it is possible of achievement and
ought to be done.
The senator is correct in his con.
tention that declining populations
have no right to hold the majority
of power in the Ohio law-makins
body, while growing communities art
penalized every time financial issue
exists between the rural and urbal
communities of the state.
As the apportionment law stands
each county, no matter what its pop
ulation, is entitled to at least on
representative A result is that i
several counties of Ohio one perso
has as much representation at Colum
bus as a half dozen in Cincinnati
Columbus or Cleveland.
A glaring unfair result of this in
equality is presented in the gasolin
tax increase. Here the cities pa
many times as much as is returne
to them. So with other phases of taa
alton As matters stand the elite
pose as the goats of an anomalou
. situation.
This is a matter which rural con
munities should do we'll to study ar
ponder. Unless the cities of the stat
can prosper, how can the rural div
sions of the commonwealth prosper
Business is business, and, in a sens
merciless. There are laws indepen
ent of sentiment and emotion or
: local prejudice.
Ohio, so far as its legislature
concerned, as Senator Bender allege
is under the dominion of rural pow
and influence. If Senator Bender
successful in his attempt to right
patent wrong, Ohio cities will ha'
the chance to free themselves fro
shackles which too long have boul
them. The mass of population is
these cities. Let it speak. Senat

population of the state. He shou
