UNIONISM
By C. S. BOWERS

Unionism as l see it is for all of
us to go down the line together for
better and cleaner business. Now,
when / say, "go down the line to-
gether," / mean "All for one and one
for ALL" The age-old adage, an
union there is strength" is as true
today as ages ago when first uttered,
but can we have strength in an or
ganization composed mostly of weak
lings? Can such an organization de-
mand respect?
An organization to accomplish a
given goal must be of one mind and
one purpose. It's members must all
be grounded in the same common
thought, for an organization with its
members striving for selfish ends is
doomed to failure at the start.
SO it behooves US at the beginning
of this year to take stock of our
selves and see of what metal or alloy
we are composed.
Are we trying to help our fellow
workman? Are we giving him words
of advice and timely counsel when
he is up against it, or do we delight in
seeing a brother make a failure in
our desire to further the interests of
our organization by trying to i'm
prove it from the inside?
What are we doing for the new
members coming into our organiza-
ton? Are our conduct and actions
at meetings worthy of their respect? !?
Do we give them the glad hand in
earnestness and sincerity? Do we in
struct them about their labors so they
will have a better standing with their
employer, or do we deftly slip STUN
bling blocks IN their pathway, trying
to further our own personal selfish
ends at someone else's expense?
1t is easy to wreck brothers repu-
tation and myriad are the ways it
can be done, but what have we gained
when once accomplished? We cannot
hope to rise above our organization,
and as it sinks so do we, and newt
ably it sinks or rises from our own
actions.

TECH ENGINEERS
FORM UNION

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Presi-
dent G. L. Rosemund, of the Interna-
tional Federation of Technical Engi-
neers, Architects and Craftsmen, re-
ports the formation Of a local union
of technical men at Denver, Colo.
Denver engineers, architects and
craftsmen have been badly in need of
organization. Many cases are re
ported of engineers and architects re-
ceiving only $125 a month or less.
The wages, after four years of col
lege training, are said to be gener-
ally less than wages of the average
union craftsmen.
Reports indicating increased inter
est in organization among technical
workers are being received here and
President Rosemund expects the for
nation of other local unions in the
next few months.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1930-03-28

1t has been said and truly that
there was too much arguing upon the
floor of the local union, but if we
were sincere and earnest in our de-
sire to improve our opportunity and
all played square with ourselves we
would have little to argue about on
meeting nights.
Our shops are mostly what we as
individuals make them. If we are
weak and wobbly in the knees and all
jelly in the back our shop will be the
same. You cannot fool your employer
long. If you coddle up to him, play
up to him for petty favors, he will
have you breaking down your own
conditions and those your local work
ed so hard to build.
No more painful truth was spoken
spoken than the statement / heard
from the lips of one Of our employ
ers some time ago, and it bears out
what | have just said. They were
speaking of workingmen on unfair
jobs and this employer said, II can
always find one or two weak fellows
in my bunch who will do this class
of work"
Now, why are they weak? They are
weak because they are trying to fur
ther their personal selfish interests
ahead of their organization, and are
also trying to get a stand-in with
their employer, hoping to get some
favor from him, when in truth it is
the employer who is getting the
favor all the time.
If we could do away with selfish
personal desire, keep arguments of
petty personal nature off the floor,
and ascertain the facts of a case be-
fore we accuse a brother of wrong
doing, we would advance the interests
of our fondest hopes.

BANKERS FACE
FACTS; DISCARD
PIOUS HOPES

New York.-Wall street is not in
terested in hopes of an early business
revival. These financiers have every
facility for compiling industrial
facts, and they do not risk their
money on air castles and enthusiasm.
That this fact-fnding policy is the
rule is indicated by Laurence Stern,
financial editor New York World:
"The business situation is recog-
nized as less hopeful than it had been
considered a month ago, and the
growing probability that major re-
vival will be delayed until next au-
tumn unquestionably is tending to
check speculative enthusiasm"

ed by chain companies Incorporating

that only the large department stores
would be heavily taxed.

The relationship of the American

chapter, presided and introduced the
speakers.
DR.. Klein told the delegates, in pay
ing tribute to the Red Cross. that the
relationship of organized relief to bust
ness Is twofold. First, there is the
obvious necessity of close collabora-
ton between the two in the actual
undertaking and in overcoming any
given prices" he said. Secondly, the
results of each of these humanitarian
achievements are of profund conse-
quences to business, which, I need
hardly say, depends upon material well

Interested as War Governor.
Senator Capper told the delegates that
he became interested In the Red Cross
while war Governor of Kansas.
The death rate of mothers is so per
cent greater in the 4S States than 1t
should be, Senator Capper said. He
added that the problem presented by
this condition is one of the gravest con-
fronting the rural population.
Recent statistics reveal that in 1900
of the $500 counties in the United
States, there is no form of public health
nursing" he said. This means that
standards of health in these sparsely
settled rural districts are to be raised,
spidemics prevented, the lives of mothers
and infants saved, 1t must come through
extension of public health nursing such
as that sponsored by the American Red
Cross"
Mr.. Bickel complimented the organ

readiness to offer aid in every emery

papers generally evi1ce an interest in
the organizations work and that In
many ways the newspapers. through in

morning took part in seven group dis
