OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Monday morning the first period
was devoted to class meetings. The
great talk of the morning was the
field meet on April 10 between
the four High School classes, the
Junior High, and the Faculty. All
the classes and faculty made their
boasts and the school is almostS
place of warfare now. This coming
event will be something worthwhile.
1t probably will be one of the best
ever staged, excitement for everyone.
No one barred. The public is cordially
invited--free!!!
The junior and senior flag fight
committees consisting of Don Will
hanson, Alvin Privette, and William
Baeth, representing the Seniors, and
Allen Boothman, Elmer Davidson and
Erwin Kammeyer, representing the
Juniors, went into meeting Monday
morning and again Monday evening
to decide on what they want in place
of the flag fight this year. No one
has been able to approach these men
since or come into the room where
they are holding their meetings.
Some say that they have fought over
many suggestions too. So far no one
has admitted being defeated. 1t looks
bad for the school and town when
this flag fight or whatever it is comes
off.
The new track field just across
from the Libby Hospital is in very
good shape. Twelve men worked all
| Monday afternoon throwing off rocks
and filling u the hollow spots. The
boys are turning out regularly from
$3.50 to 5 o'clock each evening.
-.
The school lawn is drying up nicely,
so please, Public, refrain from cross
ing it.
Many of the students who were alb
sent the past week with spring flu
are back again but others have taken
their places.

TOLL AND HEALTH

Industries that harm or ruin the
health of their employees have no place
in civilized nation. Such industries
have no just cause for complaint if
they are prohibited. Making of lumi-
nous dials for watches and clocks,
which has caused number Of horri-
BILE cases of radium poisoning, is not
an essential industry and could we'll
be spared, at least until way is
found to make it entirely safe for the
workers engaged in it.
Bernardino Ramazzini, an Italian
physician born in 1858, who published
treatise on occupational diseases
in the year 100, said: "'Tis a sor-
did Profit that's accompanied with the
Destruction of Health" This is just
as true now as then, and might we'll
De taken to heart by some industries
of today.

with higher wages. Of course this
gain in freedom for the workers is
terribly reactionary. 1t enslaves them
to something, somehow, most surely,
and whoever has any doubt about that
can ask Mr.. Stain or even Mr.. Foster.
In red Russia the way to freedom
is via the seven-day week. Make the
darned fools work so hard and so
long that they won't have brain
power enough left in working order
to know whether they are free or not,
and that will be that.
Anyhow, workers in America who
have been toying with communist
propaganda are advised to have a
look at this latest expression OF
communist freedom in Russia.

THE BATTLE LINES ARE
BLAZING

Every now and then some cute in
tellectual arises to say there IS no
militancy in the American labor
movement. Europeans in particular
like to say that.
And every now and then the
answer blazes forth in such militancy
as no other trade union movement
has ever produced in constructive
effort.
Vision at this hour the New
Orleans strike, the Chicago pressmen
cleaning up the town, the Equity
campaign in Hollywood, half dozen
textile strikes, half dozen hosiery
mill strikes, all of them filled with
militancy to the point of stark, un-
selfish courage.
American trade unionists go the
absolute limit in the effort to nego
tiate. Peace and progress are th'
guiding words.
But when peaceful effort finally
fails, no workers anywhere on earth
are reader to strike and to strike
hard. Every evidence is, moreover
that the spirit of American trade
union mlitancy is right now at the
top of its stride. Never were Amer.
lean workers more ready to- stand idle
in protest against injustice, when al
other means have failed. Militancy
It's veritably the spirit of '76!

A BRIGHT YOUNG MAN

David J. Saposs is a bright young
man of New York. For a long time
he has shown a fondness for playing
around the edges of certain kinds of
labor organizations. He is one of sew
eral who like to be called "an author
ity." This young man has just given
out statement in which he says the
American Federation of Labor has a
lot Of padded membership rolls and
hasn't made the gains it claims for
the year. Now, of course, who should
know about such matters, if not
bright young men in New York? Let
US pause each evening while we turn
our eyes toward David j. Saposs.

themselves at every opportunity.
True, sometimes the people don't
know just what is really good for
them, but not often is such the case,
yet they pay the bills and, right or
wrong, it should be left to the major
ity, whenever opportunity arises and
it is possible to do so, to say just
what they want.
However, that is all now past and
gone and it is now too late to take
steps of any kind for bringing the
matter before the voters the coming
election and this, the Press believes,
is due more to misunderstanding than
to contrariness. 1t is pleasing to note
that council members are disposed to
reopen the subject and to take such
action that is more than likely to give
HdIhlltOu al dlIpoit SUCH da oliSIi-
ally proposed, and that will put Ham
ilton on the airmap of the country
and let Hamilton in on the ground
floor of aviation.
The Press believes that council will
have no trouble whatever negotiating
option, lease or contract agreement
for the ground desired The Press
believes about all that will be neces-
sary is for the city to assure Henry
Ford that it wants the ground and
will pay for it at the proper time and
the deal is closed Never too late to
do good-let's go!

WE SUMMARIZE OUR ISSUES

Labor Day addresses and articles
served to clarity and summarize la
boris great issues. Future historians
can read these statements of the days
issues and reconstruct our civiliza-
ton, as scientists reconstruct extinct
mammals when given jaw-bone and
a couple of ribs.
We find labor men demanding an
end to the "deadline at 40" demand
ing methods of unemployment pre-
vention, demanding use of machinery
so it will not throw men on the scrap
heap, demanding an end of judiciary
tyranny via the Injunction, demand
ing the 5-day week, demanding vaca
tions with pay.
Everything centers around the idea
of spreading the benefits of machines
and the sciences so that the masses
can enjoy them and so that there will
not be too much concentration of
wealth at one end and too much con-
centration of poverty at the other.

STILL IN THE DARK AGES

Many American cities are still in
the dark ages, judging by the hours
of work Of their employees. Three
hundred and ffty-one cities in "a
states are working their street labor
ers 10 hours a day, 60 hours a week
The record of some cities is even
worse. Patterson, La, works its
men II hours a day for days in the
week. Pulaski, Tenn, with a popula-
ton of 2,7S0, works its men 101a
hours day, or SO hours a week.
These figures are given on the
authority of the United States Bureau
of Labor Statistics, which recently in
vestigated wages and working hours
of common street labor in all cities of
the United States having a popula-
ton of $500 or more
AS Ethelbert Stewart, United
States commissioner of labor stats
ties, points out, it is pretty generally
agreed that the public, when it acts
as an employer, should be a good en-
ployer. Cities that compel their en-
ployes to work 10 hours a day, so
hours a week, or more, are not good
employers. Their treatment of their
employees shows there is still a big
educational job to be done in favor of
the short work day and short work
week.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1929-09-13

A labor editor whose writings are
customarily among the most interest
ing to be found anywhere wants to
know, editorially, whether the labor
movement hadn't ought to stand for
something more than collective bar
gaining, good wages and decent hours.
This editor declares that we need
big men-men big in imagination, de-
termination and leadership.
The editor is right on all counts,
but wrong in thinking that we do not
now have the things he thinks we
need.
The labor movement does stand for
more than the material and primary
issues which he specifies. But every
other good and big thing depends up
on success in those primary things
collective bargaining, decent wages
and decent hours of work. Where
those are not assured and guaranteed,
we get none of the bigger things.
X
Our leadership is always what we
make it, and that is one thing about
which we cannot today complain. By
and large, labor leadership compares
favorably in every essential of hu-
man conduct, capability and capacity
with leadership in other fields. 1t
goes, too, as far as the masses will
follow. Never forget that important
item.
The fact that manufacturers, bank
ers,, politicians and merchants today
accept as truth and preach as neces-
sary many things that labor preached
all by itself ten years ago is some
tribute to the moral force of labor
and labor's leadership.
Trade unionism is stronger in num-
bers than it has been, respected more
than it has been, consulted more than
it has been, frmer in the affection of
the masses than it has been. These
things prove the stability, energy and
dynamic character of unionsm.
1t is we'll to have editors who will
say, eve need something better, we
need more energy, we need more Vi
tality," for we never can have toe
much. But let US not forget those
things which we have.
OF course labor wants more thar
just the ABC's of progress. More
than so much money for so mucl
worh. And the labor movement to-

ANOTHER SOVIET
EXPERIMENT"

With typical soviet circumlocution,
it is announced from Moscow that the
seven-day week is to be put into
effect The stated object is to "stimu-
late the tempo of industrialism, deal
"a blow at religion" and reduce un-
employment.
The last of these three objects is
at once an admission of serious un-
employment, and to those who know
industry a confession that the reds
don't know how to solve the problem.
The "blow at religion" is obvious
smoke screen stuff, and will fool no.
body, probably not even the reds
themselves, though they are the
prize victims of their own medicine.
AS for stimulating "the tempo Of
industrialism," that is just so much
boloney for the cables.
Back of all these excuses there
must be a real reason, and that real
reason is undoubtedly a frantic deci
sion to resort to desperate measures
to make the red medicine work some
how.
In capitalist United States the ten
dency is toward the five-day week

ABOUT THAT AIRPORT

At the meeting of city council next
week it is more than likely there will
take place discussion of a proposal
to consider sites for a municipal air
port for Hamilton. The idea would
be to obtain lease, option or contract
agreement on the preferred site with
the right of choice not to be exercised
by the city for two or three years.
Last week representatives of the
board of directors of the Chamber of
Commerce and the aviation commit
tee of that organization appeared be-
fore council and asked council that it
submit to the voters at the November
election a bond issue of 100000 for
a municipal airport. Several members
of council Immediately voiced opposi-
ton, stating that Hamilton was fac
ing two peak bond paying years and
could not go in for airport expense
at this time.
That's alright and those members
are to be commended for their eau
tiousness in guarding the city's in
terests and welfare. But the Press
believes council members have wrong
slant, or did have, on the PROPOSE
ton. In the first place, those men
appearing before council had given
the project much deep thought, care
full consideration and lots of time and
effort in studying it from every angle
before concluding a municipal owned
airport would be a good thing for
Hamilton and to the city's advantage
in the future. Their request should
have met with more cooperative
spirit and not been turned down right
off the reel.
In the next place the Press thinks
council was wrong in turning the
committees request down in that it
isn't for the council to say what the
people should have or shouldn't have.
That right should be left to the peo-
pie themselves and council should give
the people the chance to so express

No Labor Day was so extensively
observed as 1929.
The event was unmarked by the
spectacular, but was unequalled for
thoughtful, nationwide interest in
questions that labor has urged
Full advantage was taken of the
radio and the message of labor was
carried into homes in every section.
These speeches were not negative.
The keynote of every address was an
affirmation of labor's position on the
five-day week, the effect of low wages
and automatic machinery, the labor
injunction and the evils of child labor
Churches and the public press gave
increasing consideration to these
issues, that were presented in man

finding age.
This Labor Day justified the trade

More information is published each

lack of knowledge astounds us on

On the eve of Labor Day club
woman who makes pretense of
