OVERLOOKS ONE BIG THING

Whatever may be its backwardness
in basic employment policies, say this
for the automobile industry: it puts
magnificent energy and skill back of
the job of keeping product moving
and wheels turning That means jobs,
in any event. 1t means work, as far
rs such a policy can mean work.
No industry is making more heroic
efforts to keep going at top speed.
Every sales device, argument and
scheme that can be brought into play
is being developed.
The cars themselves are being
given every treatment of skill and
artistry to make them appeal to pos
sible buyers. New models shine and
are all aglitter with newness of de-
sign, mechanism and everything that
can be got into an automobile.
Behind the appealing new models
a mountain of sales energy is set to
work Ford alone pours out cool
million dollars for advertising. Say
what you will about the economic
waste of advertising, it moves cars
away and starts more cars down the
assembly line. 1t keeps wheels turn
ing.
The automobile industry, however,
forgets a great big thing. 1t forgets
that the market for everyone is skin
ned by every employer that pays less
than the highest possible rate of
wages. There is where the automo-
bile industry does its flop, shows its
lack of generalship, its lack of COM
prehension.
When the automobile industry
learns that basic fact and puts it into
practice, we can and will unite in pay
ing to that industry the full tribute
that belongs to an uncompromising
pioneer.

owner has freight and passenger in
come as clear profit.
These shipowners, together with
their shipbuilding allies, are, with
rare exception, hostile to trade
unionism, and are leading the fight
against organized labor's efforts to
secure wage increases in government
navy yards.
They have the same disregard for
common decency when their vessels
are afioat. Skilled seamen are not
employed and sufficient life-saving
appliances are uncommon.
If the vessel is lost the shipowner
collects insurance on his boat and
crago, the charge being placed on
operating expenses. Limited liabil-
ity laws make it possible to pay moth
ing, or an insignificant sum to heirs
of passengers who are drowned.
This system of low wages, govern
ment assurance of every expense and
guarantee against damage for loss of
life is called, by the shipowners,
building up an American merchant

SUPPORT YOUR OWN
ELECTRIC PLANT

The report of the authorities issued
last week showed the net earnings of
the citys three utilities-water, gas
and electricity-for the year 1929, to
be $409, ,41355. This was certainly
good news for all the people of Ham
ilton. And it certainly shows good
business sense for Hamilton to be in
the business for herself in these three
utilities.
Of the total net earnings, the re-
port shows, the electric plant itself
earned $277 ,043. This is certainly fine
and at that rate the big plant will
pay for itself in three or four years.
However, while the plant did fine
business last year, it could have done
even better than it did had all the
people been loyal to the old town and
patronized its plant. 1t is almost be-
yond comprehension that hundreds of
our citizens buy electric current from
an outside concern when they have a
plant of their own that they must
help to maintain.
The Press doesn't blame the out
side concern, in the least, for coming
in and grabbing off every customer
that it can--that's business-but the
Press does blame the Hamilton peo-
pie who fall for it. 1t is really ridic-
ulous, the height of folly, that they
should do so. Did you ever hear of a
shoe merchant going next door and
patronizing a competitor for pair of
shoes, or groceryman going across
the street and buying groceries from
a competitor? Not so you could
notice it.
And so it is with electricity. Why
buy from some one else when you run
plant of your own? Every dollar
spent with the home plant helps in
crease the plants earning power and
will eventually mean an even lower rate
than we now enjoy. And don't forget
that the one reason, and the only one,

AS IN DAYS OF OLD

Noble and king, in ages past
sought to bar public roads through
their great estates and hunting pre-
serves, and where they we're strong
enough often closed such roads. Man,
a battle was fought between com

highways and thoroughfares which
ran through or near great estates
The nobility usually won, until demo
cracy grew and the power of noble

 Edward Jenkins, sergeant of the guard, said:
 T had no instructions ill case ot fire. except to guard the gates
 Deputy Warden James w. Wood ard, said he was outside the prison when he saw the smoke and flames coming from the inside. He rushed to the prison and found that all cells in the vicinity of the fire had been unlocked except the s6nes in the top ranges. He said it probably was 20 minutes before he could get 10 the top of the cell ranges to let the pris oners out
 When I got there prisoners and guards were pounding the locks with axes and hammers to break them
 He said there were supposed to be two guards on duty at the cells. Prisoners carried most of the dead out, he said.

 Captain Hall said there original ly had been F keys to the fatal cells, but that ono of them had been lost since last Thanksgiving. The keys were in duplicate and each would unlock the cells in opposite tiers.

 In. the outside world there was many a family nhose anxiety could not be quieted last night. Out of the prison population of more than 4.000. each prisoner who escaped the fate of those in companies G and H. was as anxious to spread the word that he was safe~as his relatives were hopeful of receiving it.
 Radio Called Upon
 Prison officials finally called upon radio stations to broadcast the news that all prisoners who were safe would send word to their families today. fed, While the disaster was revealing itself at it's worst pandemonium reigned without, as we'll as within the prison walls. Black smoke, rolling in clouds from the roof of the damaged cell blocks was the first signal to the outside world of the impending ca tastrophe. Spectators gathered rap idly and within few minutes forced a serious handicap upon the officials trying to maintain order.
 The crowds surged up to the lawn fronting the prison and policemen battled futilely against them. Auto mobile traffic damned the surround ing streets.
 A company of troops finally was called into action to clear West Spring street on which the peniten- tiary faces and other abutting thoroughfares. The troops charged up the street with fixed bayonets. Guards stationed on the outside dropped their rifles and picked up sub machine guns to drive back the throngs. This maneuvering brought prompt success.
 | Prison 40 Years Old
 Ohio penitcntiary is 40 years old. New buildings have been added from time to time but the general proper ty is much the same as it was in the beginning.
 It was built to accommodate 1,600 prisoners. The population yesterday was 4,S00. Oyer-croWded conditions for years have proved the greatest source of trouble at the penitenti- ary. The building in which the fire victims met death was comparative ly 1few.
 The roof was covered with an oil substance that made fuel for the flames. The fire started in the roof and ate steady path until the en- tire covering was consumed. The building was constructed of con- crete, brick, steel and wood.
 Early this morning the scene of death had shifted to the fairgrounds where small army of undertakers worked through the night preparing the bodies for burial. One hundred guardsmen were on duty there, pa trolling the grounds to keep away the morbidly curious.

SUNS ECLIPSE
 CAUSESCHANCE IN LITERATURE
Darkness Also Prevails for Brief Time-Scien-
 tific Aspects

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April %. The rare phenomenon of a total eclipse of the sun was witnessed over a narrow path across the Northwestern United States. It may have brought to astronomers new information regarding the chief source of heat and light energy. The path was narrow and a rela- lively short, slight darkness and .coolness resulted in the 5000 foot wide path.
 In San Francisco, lights were re- quired indoors.
 As to the scientific aspects of the eclipse full reports are to come from Camptonville and other points where astronomers and pho tographers were gathered. They areare all optimistic about the re- ports however.
 The totality of the eclipse was about one and three-tenths sec- onds and elapsed time of the eclipse two hours and fifty minutes.
