MR.. HOOVER AT THE BAT

Mr.. Hoover's administration is
about to start. He will have plenty
of woes on his plate at the outset.
We shall see whether that "mysteri-
Gus power" of which President Green
spoke, that keeps the army of gov
ernment employees from getting a
fair shake, will remain to dog their
underpaid footsteps. We shall see
whether we get tariff act that pro.
tects workers or merely one that fat
tens dividend checks. We shall see
a lot of things. We look ahead hope
fully, but ready at every minute for
scrap in the interest of human
well-being.

ECONOMICS BREED
WAR

New York.-"The greatest danger

director of the economic and finance
section of the League of Nations, at
a luncheon in this city.

quite exceptionally intense competi-

grave reason to fear that one govern

governments will think to be unfair

the executive board of the Co-Opera-
tive Trades and Labor Council will
meet for the purpose of formulating
some other plan to secure the neces-
sary revenue. Of course no matter
what plan is proposed it is likely to
meet with opposition by some, but
some plan will be recommended and
then it will be up to the central body
to see it through. Today the central
body is in a healthy condition. There
is no mortgage on the labor temple
and every cent of interest has been
paid A few building bonds is all
that the central body owes at the
present time, and as the money comes
in. these bonds will be taken up
Many of the trades unionists have
donated their bonds back to the coun
ell. but there are some that will have
to be paid, and if the labor organiza
tions affiliated with the council vii
cooperate all Indebtedness will b.
cleaned up in short time. 1t is hop
ed that every affiliated local will ge
in line and assist the central bod.
officers in keeping the labor templ
as good place to meet in.

HAMILTON OWNED STORES

Chain-owned grocery and meat
stores are becoming as numerous
here in Hamilton as weeds in an
uncared-for field Locating at every
point of vantage they are pushing
hard the home merchant in their in
satiable greed to hog all the profits
in food supplies These stores are
in chain systems owned by people
who have not the least interest in
Hamilton other than what they can
get out of it. The chain store own
ers should worry whether or not the
city has good streets, good govern
ment, or whether the city progresses
or not, etc.-these are the least of
their worries. Just so long as the
profits from their stores continue 30
pour in, so far as they are concerned
there is nothing to worry about.
However, with the home-owned
store merchant it is different. He is
always ready to get on the job, serv-
ing on committees for the city's ad-
vancement and welfare.
The chain stores usually offer spe.
cial bargains on few items al
prices way down low-even below
cost-as bats to attract trade. How.
ever, comparison with home-ownec
store prices will show that in the
long run the food bill is practically
the same. Then there is the advan.
tage in the home-owned store, in case
of unemployment, sickness or other
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1929-03-01

Of accommodation in the
way of credit. Try to get credit at
a chain-owned store and see how
much you are good for. Nothing do
ing along that line.
And for this and many other rea-
sons, the Press urges that Hamilton
people buy from the home-owned
stores, list of which can be found
elsewhere in these columns, and thus
patronize those who are interested
in your welfare and that of the old
town other than for what they get
out of it alone.

MARINE ACT
Ignored By Ship Owners;
Seamen Will Protest

Observation-Disclosures to the con-
vention of the International Seamen's
Union in this city declared it was
the most harmonious and educational
in their history.
}. B. Wilson, treasurer of the Ma
tional Union of Seamen of Great
Britain, attended tn convention. He
is son of Havelock Wilson, presi-
dent of that organization.
"The seamen's motto, Tomorrow is
another day. was reaffirmed by our
convention" said Andrew Furuseth,
president of the international. who
was reelected.
A feature of the convention was
sessions of the committee of the
whole, rather than refer matters to
committees. This was the rule on
every question, except auditing the
finances, which was handled by a
committee of three.
Violation of the merchant marine
act was discussed at length and Presi-
dent Furuseth was authorized to take
this matter up with the post office
department, which subsidies mer-
chant and passenger ships for carry
ing mail.
These vessels make no attempt to
employ American citizens as seamen.
BY employing aliens, who claim to be
citizens, laws are violated with inn
punity, and seamen dare not insist
on their rights.

CATCH PHRASES
Lull Public; Poverty Is Still
Social Evil

Omaha, Neb.-Old age, poverty and
unemployment menace this country,
said DR.. John A. Lapp, professor of
sociology, Marquette University, in
an address to a group of advertising
men in this city. The speaker is for
mer president of the National Council
of Social Work.
Poverty is not abolished and there
is no present indication that it will
be- said Dr. Lapp. The very cause of
poverty-lack of means of livelihood
is increasing Old age is a greater
menace than ever before, he said.
The speaker expressed disapproval
of President Coolidge's economy pro-
gram, and criticised Henry Ford's
statement that there is Job for
every man in this country.
Dr. Lapp submitted the same cold
analysis to various catch phrases and
fallacies that pass as social facts
He attacked the claim that poverty
is decreasing, that cities have "crime
waves" that most criminals come
from the ranks of foreign-born per-
sons and children of foreign-bern per-
sons, and that taxes can be lowered
without slashing expenditures for
service and improvements that the
public demand.
DR.. Lapp declared that statistics
are a sort of hocus- pocus and are not
reliable.
"Crime waves" he asserted, are
imaginative creations of certain
type of newspapers. Statistics show,
he said that the greater percentage
of United States criminals are not
foreign born or the children of for
eign- born parents.

SHORT WORK WEEK
OF New York Wire Men Is
Again EnjOined

New York.-Supreme Court Justice
Glennon ordered the Electrical Work
ers' Union and the Electrical Con-
tractors Association to show cause
why they should not be enjoined from
carrying out their five -day-week
agreement. Complainants are the
Building Trades Employers Associa-
ton.
Supreme Court Justice Levy re-
Gently enjoined the parties, but the
order was dissolved by Justice Blur.
The latest attack is along the same
lines, as building trades employers
are fearful that other unions may
place the entire industry on the five
day basis.
The complainants insist that the
electrical contractors violated an
agreement with other building trades
employers that one agreement cover
ing working conditions shall be made,
The electrical men reply that when
they joined the association they re-
served the right to settle disputes
within their trade, and that wages and
hours is trade matter.
Justice BLUR upheld this position in
dissolving the Levy injunction, but
the latest cour torder again upholds
the claim that employers can always
find an accommodating injunction

calling for increased penalties for
breaking of the prohibition laws.
These seems, in fact, to be tendency
to return to that state of mind ex-
isting hundred or more years ago
when a long list of offenses was pun
ished with death or savage prison
sentences.
Does this state of mind mean
progress toward higher and better
civilization? Is it Christianity :?
These are questions that advocates
of frightfulness" in fighting crime
will not be at all anxious to answer.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1929-03-01
ARE WE GETTING BETTER?

With crime steadily becoming a
graver and graver problem, the best
that statesmen of federal and state
governments seem able to offer as a
remedy is more prisons and harsher
punishments.
So we have Baumes laws in New
York and similar laws in other states.
under which fourth offenders, includ-
ing violators of the prohibition laws,
are sent to prison for life. So, too,
we have the Jones bill in congress

LABOR TEMPLE FINANCES

A few years ago the local Central
Labor Council was running on the
ragged edge as far as finances were
concerned. 1t was necessary at that
time for the officers to secure funds
to maintain the labor temple, and to
pay the indebtedness ~on the building
in the way of taxes, insurance, inter-
est on borrowed money and other
obligations too numerous to mention.
At that time the plan of 10 cents
per month per member was proposed
and by vote of the council the meth
cd was adopted. Like all other propo-
sitions the plan had plenty of opposi-
ton, and up to the present time some
of the affiliated organizations oppose
it and some absolutely refuse to pay
it, while others go right along and
remit monthly. 1t is this ten cents
that some of the members of organ
lied labor put in the pot that assist
ed in saving the labor temple. In
order to maintain the labor temple
and to keep it as a meeting place
for the different locals, it is necessary
that money must be derived from
some source. Whether it is an as
sessment, rents or per capita, enough
funds must be in the treasury to pay
the expense. On next Tuesday night

COMPENSATION ACT
ACCEPTED BY LABOR

Raleigh, N. C.-Organized labor ac-
cepted a compromise compensation
act, following their long campaign to
place North Carolina among those
states that have this legislation.
The compromise calls for a maxi
mum of $18 week, minimum of 81
and $500 as the total award for
death or permanent injury. An in
jured worker may have 10 weeks
medical, surgical and hospital care.
The commission will be empowered to
extend this period.
