Mussolini, Babies and Mothers

The Duce has put in order for 100000 more
italian babies to be delivered in years time. To
help italian mothers to undertake the duties of
collaborating his biologists have declared that to
have baby year is the best and most certain way
for to assure the perpetuation of her youth
and vitality
group Of eminent American physicians has
assumed to differ from the official Fascist biologists
They have formulated the following concise statement
of their views the situation:
I'VE are satisfied unanimously that it is better to
preserve mothers health by reasonable spacing of
few children than $, ruin it by too frequent
pregnancies that the mother of growing family is
presumably more valuable than one more child and
should not be sacrificed for such
Finally believe that If we had to undergo sick

fort, pain, danger and sometimes death for the birth

CONVICTS
To Replace Prison Night
Guards

Parchman, Miss. (ILNS)-Prison-
ers at the state penitentiary who have
won recognition as TRUSTEES will take
over the night watching duties Janu-
airy |, according to Superintendent
Jim Williamson. Use of prison
guards instead of the present employ
ed free and bonded citizens, is part
of an ECONOMY program" the super
intendent will -inaugurate at the be-
ginning of next year.
"Of course" said Williamson,
these guards will be hand-picked.
The penitentiary is running over with
prisoners, and it is going to take
every cent of our appropriation to
feed and clothe these men properly.
We cannot cut down on these necessi-
ties, so we must cut down on some
employees"
The guard system in the daytime
is made up of prisoners. In addition
to changing the guard system, the su-
perintendent said that some assistant
sergeants at several camps would be
dispensed with after January l.

BOOST FOR THE "Y"

With big kickoff dinner to be
held this evening, 130 men, compris-
ing two teams, divided in six divi-
sions, the annual financial canvass
for the local Y. NJ C. A. is on. The
purpose of acquiring the funds in the
canvass is that the "Y" program,
which means so much to the boys and
young men and the community life
o Hamilton, may be carried on next
year as it has in the past.
There are many features on the
"Y" program which are non-self-
supporting, including boys and young
mems training, meetings of all kinds
by outside groups; shop basketball
leagues; foremen's smokers and So
cial activities in which the community
takes part. 1t takes money to keep
these things going, and we must
have them if we are to keep up with
the times as other cities are doing
and therefor the financial canvass.
No better investment can be made
than in something pertaining to the
lives and welfare of our boys and
young men who are to be our future
active citizens. We need the "Y" and
its activities and must keep it. 1t is
deserving of every support, and all
who can should respond generously
to its appeal for financial aid. 1t is
to be hoped that the canvass will
prove great success. If you are not
a member, join-join now. If you are
a member, and can do it, why not add
a few dollars to the cause and help
to keep up the good work this grand
institution is doing for the good of
the whole community!

LOUISIANA LABOR
HITS WAGE CUTS

Shreveport, La. (ILNS)-The gen

State Federation of Labor recently
held it's semi-annual meeting here.
Attending were Charles w. Swallow,
Shreveport, president; Frank Man

E. E. Flowers, Alexandria; Cliff
Twilley and j. H. Terrell, secretary

A resolution opposing any reduc-
tion in the present wage scale until
such time as living expenses are sub
stantially reduced was adopted. An
other endorned the resolution adopted
by the Minute Mems convention me-
moralizing congress to amend the
Sherman antitrust law to prevent re-
straint of trade. A resolution con-
demning the reported practice Of
state and parish bodies in employing
non-residents and trading with for
eign-owned mercantile establishments
was also adopted.

TYPOS FIGHTING
PLAN FOR PRISON
PRINTING PLANT
Allied Printing Trades Protest
Proposal of Texas Prison
Board to Have State Printing
Done by Convicts.

Austin, Tex. (ILNS) S)--The board of
control will put up to the prison
board the decision as to whether it
will establish printing shop at the
penitentiary, equipped to do all state
printing. This follows protest from
the representatives of the allied print
ing trades to the attorney general
and to the board of control
Chairman Claude Teer, of the board
of control, said that he advised the
printers to formulate their protest
and argument in writing and present
it to the board of central, and it will
send it to the prison board for in
spection and determination as to
whether it purchase $4,000 worth of
printing shop equipment under bids
to be opened November Is.
Should the prison board adhere to
its plan, the board of control must
contract far the machinery, Teer ex-
planned.
The printers cite sections >of the
constitution as prohibiting the prison
system from doing the state printing,
and that will be the basis of its argu-
ment. Their position is not to object
to the plant doing the work for the
prison system, but to oppose any
other state printing being done by it.
The constitution says all state
printing must be done under contract
with responsible persons, firms or cor
porations, and the printers assert the
prison system can not qualify under
that provision-that the state can not
contract with itself.
1t is probable the prison board will
ask the attorney general for an
opinion and be guided by his decision.

ONLY CITIZENS
Of State Get Louisiana Pub
lie Works Jobs

New Orleans (1LNS)-A warning
that only bona fde citizens and quail
fed voters may be employed on pub
lie works in Louisiana is. contained
in statement issued by A. L. En-
gerran, commissioner of labor and in
dustrial statistics, to forestall an in
fiux Of labor from other states.
This influx is feared because of
publication of the news that Louisi-
ana is to start great program of
public works.
"My attention has been called to
unfortunate and misleading state
ments emanating in several Northern
points relative to the probability of
work being provided for the unem-
ployed of other states due to the ex-
tensive public works program con-
templated by the state of Louisisi-
ana," the statement reads in part.
1t then sets forth the law pro-
hibiting any but qualified voters of
Louisiana being employed either by
the state or contractors on public
construction.
"Inasmuch as there is a sufficient
supply of such bona fide citizens in
Louisiana to adequately fill all of the
positions that will be available in
Louisiana this year or next, | con-
slider it my duty to see that this law
is enforced to the letter." the state
ment continued.
II earnestly request that this mat
ter be given as much publicity as pos
sible, not only in justice to our own
citizens, many of whom are unfor-
tunately out of employment, but as a
protection for the honest workman
who might be attracted here through
misleading publicity"

THE RED CROSS CALLS

The fourteenth annual roll call of
the American Red Cross beginning
Tuesday, Armistice Day, is now in
progress and will continue until
Thanksgiving Day. Attesting the
deep interest of the American people
in the great work of this popular and
most worthy organization, though the
official opening date for the annual
drive for funds and memberships was
set for Tuesday, many subscriptions
for membership and contribution of
funds were made last week, SUBJ
scribers and contributors seeming to
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1930-11-14

be anxious to be among the first in.
Americas greatest Mother calls
for funds and support that she may
continue in her work of succoring
the needy and unfortunate in dis
tress in times of catastrophe and dis
aster, storm, fire, flood, earthquake,
pestilence, famine and other national
calamities and to devise and carry on
measures for their prevention.
1t takes a vast sum of money to
carry on this great work through
out the year, and Hamilton must not
fail to do her share and contribute
the quota assigned her. A big army
of faithful and loyal men and women
workers are now in the field striving
to reach the goal-and pass it, if pos
sible, and they should be aided in
their noble endeavor in every pos
sible manner.
The Press feels certain that the
union men and women of Hamilton
will do their share, as they always
do when called upon to do good for
others. True, there is much unem-
ployment this year, and many are in
the position where they just can't see
their way clear at this time to re-
spond to the call to aid others, and
for that reason the Press earnestly
urges and hopes that those in posi-
ton to do so will more readily and
more generously respond to the
appeal for funds for the Red Cross.

SAVINGS DEPOSITS
AT new PEAK
Greatest Total Reached In
History of Nation, Despite
Industrial Depression.
By RALPH F. COUCH

Washington, D.. c. lILNS)-The
year 1880 brought to the United
States the greatest total of savings
deposits in history as well as indus
trial depression.
According to an announcement by
the American Bankers Association,
the aggregate of savings deposits in
all banks and trust companies of the
United States rose to $2S, S,485 100000
on June 80. This is gain of $267,-
100000 over the aggregate of 1929,
which was $28,218,0O0,000
The number of individual depositors
also shows gain of 105,048 during
the year. In 1929, individual savings
accounts numbered 52,664,1 4,127 and this
year they increased to 52,769,175.
The average balance per depositor
is thus shown to be $539.90.
The data indicate that there is more
than one savings account in the books
of the banks for every family in the
country. 1t is estimated that there
are approximately 30,OOO,oOo families
in the United States.
The Bankers Association began
compiling records of savings deposits
in 1910. A gain is shown every year
over the preceding year except in
1929, when deposits fell off $195,000,-
900. This decline is believed to have
been caused by the desire of many
persons to put their savings into in
vestments which they hoped would
yield larger return than the inter
est received from banks.

be distributed, but will be used to
furnish employment for those out of
work, as it is we'll known that the
honest workman prefers work to
charity.
So if you have anything to give
and are going to give, give it now
as the time is urgent. And remem-
ber, in this instance you are not Civ
ing to beggars but to men, women
and children who are up against it
for causes other than their own.

about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes hippantly,
Sometimes recklessly. .......

Look out for one thing in this
business of unemployment relief.
Look out for moves TO take work
away from one group of workers in
order that it may be handed to an
other group at cut rates.
The nice old gentlemen from the
banks and the counting houses who
get themselves put on local unem-
ployment committees will lhave their
financial ears glued to- the ground
looking for chances to soak those
who have jobs with the club of those
who have none.
Nice, easy-talking, fiinty-hearted
old gentlemen like to try tricks like
that.
Of course wherever organized la
Dor is represented on local commit
tees that ancient trick will have
hard time getting by.
But the fellows whose fingers are
calloused from coupon-clipping will
try to put it over-no, worse than
that, they ARE trying.
| A furious storm was raised in
one such local committee when pious,
but poorly informed, persons sug
gested somehow finding work in the
city's dairies.
1t happened that the drivers in the
dairies in question work 365 days in
the year-no day off ever, no rest.
The labor man attacked this situation
with such fury that the entire COM
mittee became interested in devising
ways and means of bringing the
dairies to their senses, cutting down
the work-week and making legitimate
jobs for lot of men.
1t isn't long since these dairies re-
fused to deal with the union and es-
tablish decent conditions. Today the
workers may get the civic support de-
MED them back in those earlier days.
All over the country there are
shocking working conditions and still
more shocking wages.
1t is a fact that thousands upon
thousands of persons who have fam
lilies to support go to work each week,
putting in long hours and giving ex-
pert service, for less than SIS week.
The good old custom of firing work
ers so as to hire others at lower rates
may tempt many an employer today.
And they can do just what they say
they can do. There are plenty in line
these days.
But there is a social conscience and
it can be aroused.
1t ought to shock the moral sense of
the nation that so many should be
desperate for work. 1t ought also to
shock the moral sense of the nation
that so many should work for so
little.
But to use the idle to club stand
ards still further down ought to
bring the moral sense of the nation
to sickening understanding of just
how callous and actually indecent a
great part of the economic structure
can become.
Men turned out into wildernesses
and other places where their accus-
toned conveniences and surroundings
are missing usually soon lose much
of that veneer called civilization.
Employers, given sea of ciamor-
ing workers from which to pick, seem
soon to lose their sense of industrial
decency. They seem to go back to
the days of baron and serf.
1t is the job of organized labor to
hold the lines for decency.

GIVE US YOUR NAME

The Press is in receipt of a dodger
or handbill, such as is being circulated
almost weekly by one of the chain
stores, quoting prices on merchan-
disc. The sender of the dodger, writ
ing across the bottom with lead pen
ell, says: "Ask the union brothers
why they go to -. Don't see no
label on this bill" Very true, the
dodger does not carry the label, and
we don't patronize this firm because
it doesn't, for one reason; and as
another reason because there are so
many home owned stores of the same
kind. But you, Mr., Sender, can you
say the same thing, and do you do all
your trading with home owned stores
and patronize only those whose print
ing bears the union label-or are YOU
one of those fellows who only want to
use the Press as catspaw to draw
your chestnuts from the fire? If you
will send us your name, not neces-
sarily for publication, but just to
prove your sincerity of purpose, and
that you are honestly interested in
the union brothers " welfare, we will
gladly take the matter up further,
try to answer your question and give
it all the publicity possible. 1t is the
rule of the Press to ignore all anony-
nous communications. SO let us have
your name, Mr.. Sender, if you want
more action on our part in the mat
ter, and we assure you your name
will not be given out from this office.
