Completed Arrangements For Butler Countys Eightetl
Annual Big Show Give Promise of Greatest in Fairs

About the busiest place in Butler
county during the past ten days has
been that of the offices of the Butler
County Agricultural Society in the
court house, and the busiest man
without doubt, was Secretary of the
Society Murray Urmston. Anc
speaking of the big show which opens
it's gates to the world on next Tues
day, Secretary Urmston says: "Al
set and ready to go, and she's going
to be a hummer-the biggest ever
And Judging from what can be learn
ed and from all indications, Secretary
Urmston knows whereof he speaks
when he says it is to be the biggest
ever.
The members of the fair board have
worked long and faithfully that the
show this year outdo all previous at
tempts, and their efforts are deserv-
ing of success, which no doubt will
come to pass Judging from manifest
interest displayed on the part of eX-
hibitors and the public in general
Never were there SO many entries
carded the week previous to the fan
as are registered this year. The
great number of applications for con
cessions are enough to set an ordi
f.. nary secretary wild. All department:
are sure to be jammed with exhibits
and the overflow will have the super
intendents at their wits ends caring
! for them.
Elaborate Program
When the gates open to the publ,
on next Tuesday it will be for thC
eightieth time that this event ha!
occurred That is long time indeed
Eighty years ago. the first Butler
county fair was held on the grounC
now occupied by the big gas tank OF
East High street, opposite Sixth
street. A modest display of farm
products, few fakirs and horse rae
ing composed that fair. But from
that modest beginning and up unit

is the first day.
WHY NOT APPLY LAW?

A Dayton (Ohio) Judge refused to
enjoin picketing by striking picture
operators "as long as the picketing
is conducted in a peaceful manner.
Some one might suggest to this
Judge that if strikers do not use
peaceful methods they violate statu-
tory law, for which the state pro-
vides trial and punishment.
An equity Judge has no jurisdict-
ton where criminal law is broken
He has no right to be a combined
lawmaker, Judge, jury and execution
er from which there is no appeal.
Injunction judges assume this posi-
tion by the claim that they do not
enforce law, but protect property.
This so-called property" is patron
age-an intangible thing farmerly
considered personal right inherent
in each individual
BY classifying this personal righ
as property" workers are thrown
into equity courts where free speech
and free press, guaranteed ever!
other class of citizens, are denied
That Dayton court should rule tha
picketing is legal, and if unlawful
methods are used by strikers the!
violate criminal law and theatre man
ayers should call on police authori
ties and not an equity Judge.
This system must prevail if gov
ernment by law is to continue.
This injunction Judge is governed
by conscience, another name for die
tatorship that is spreading through
out Europe-A F. of L. News Letter

MASS BASIS

Mass" is the keyword in the
realm of food production, if we are
to judge by the record of General
Foods Corporation. This concern is
the outcome of merger of group
of over 80 nationally known food
products, formerly distributed by Is
separate organizations. Production,
distribution and advertising now go
forward on a "mass basis" in the
daily business of this concern. And
this is one of the lines of business
which has shown an increase of rate
of profits, and in which the drop in
wholesale prices has not been accom-

about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly. ....

Labor is this year passing its half
century mark in the United States
and Canada.
In just a short time the jubilee
convention of the American Fedora
tion of Labor will be called to order
by President William Green.
The convention will meet in Bos-
ton, where the Central Labor Union
is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary
There are many labor organizations
on this continent that have seen more
than fifty years of continuous exist
ance.
The total history of the organized
labor movement in America covers a
great deal more than fifty years.
Most union men now living cannot
remember the beginnings of their
unions.
The birth of trade unions belongs
to an earlier generation.

But there is something impressive
abouS a fftieth anniversary. As the
world wags, half century is a mere
flicker. For most human beings it is
the better part of lifetime. For a
great many it is more than a life
time.
Our movement has lived and strug-
gled and grown through half hun
dred years, bringing glory to its
standard, health, freedom and higher
standards Of living to all workers.

HOW NOW, MIR. LIBERAL?

The success of German Fascists
and communists should interest sen
timental liberals who ignore principle
and who are swayed by emotiona
appeals.
The immediate objective of these
German groups-overthrow Of the
parliamentary system of government
is identical.
Liberals who aid the communist
do not understand the 'red" philos-
ophy that would sweep aside every
phase of present-day civilization.
The ultimate "red" objective is con-
cealed by these past masters of prop.
aganda.
If Fascists and communists win
their first objective in Germany.
France will be the only important
country in continental Europe that
stands for the parliamentary system
of government.
The situation calls for revision by
American liberals of their present
policy-or, rather, of a lack of
policy.
These liberals will eventually be
shocked to know that communism is
not an advanced reform movement.
They will also be shocked to discover
how easily they have been worked"

PULL DOWN THE PoORHOUsE

PULL UOWN lHE fOOhHOOSE SE
s'Pull Down the Poorhouse!' That
is the call heading an article on the
progress of the old-age security
movement by William G. Shepherd in
Golfers for June %. Under an illus
tration presenting old age pensions
as warm, beneficent sun shedding
rays of cheer on an aged couple, the
magazine says:
Were the richest country in the
world, and yet, almost alone among
the nations, we still herd our unfor-
tunate old people into poorhouses
That can't go on; age has rights of
its own-to independence and decent
comforts and to home I. The de-
termined crusade for old age pen
sions will eventually make our
old people comfortable and free.
"Old age pensions are coming ir
this country, state by state, just as
rapidly as the good roads came after
we really got started on them," Mr.
Shepherd wrote. "We've quit think
ing of old age pensions as socialism

lature Chat of New York state)
which not many years ago almost
literally kicked socialist Legislators
out of its midst, had passed the bill
which the democratic governor
signed.

to need an old age pension? Perhaps
almost anybody who is healthy anc
long lived. Who knows? Here's what
E. S. H. Winn, in charge of old age
pensions for British Columbia, where
the pension is $40 month, told the
writer:

life, who through misfortune, bad in
vestments, and other causes, and out
living their expectancy of life, have

the case of the widow of lieutenant
governor of one of the Canadian
provinces, the widow of the mayor O.

WHY NOT FOR WORKERS, TOO?

Business as usual" seems to be
the keyword in the dividend sector.
The Wall Street Journal has made
compilation of the dividend records
during the last two summer months,
with what must be regarded as a
very strong showing.
Initial dividends were declared in
twelve companies; two resumed divi-
dends; seven increased their divi-
dends; twenty-six decreased them,
and thirty omitted them.
But the great body of business,
represented by eight hundred and
eighteen companies, made no changes
in their dividends during that period
This naturally leads to the question:
If this can be done for dividends,
why can it not be done for wages 2"

The essence of serfdom was that
great numbers of men could not leave
the land of the master In most cases
even with freedom to go they could
not have gone far.
When it became possible to say.
you can take your damn job and
keep it," a certain kind of freedom
was born. When it became possible
to cross half a continent to look for
another that freedom was immensely
broadened. No survey of modern
freedom is complete without the pic
ture of modern mobihty-the ability
to go places.

In that period of American trade
union history all life has changed,
save in the most remote places.
Perhaps most important of all tne
changes has been the bringing of mo-
bility to wage earners. Fifty years
ago a journey of so miles was a real
event Today it is an incident and
men move from town to far-away
town in search of work, or in search
of change.

of all kinds of farm products, food
stuffs, live stock, poultry, farm ma
chinery, displays of all kinds, shows,
circuses, ETC., many special features
will be staged, including night show.
public weddings, saddle horse show
fireworks, parades, etc.
Night Show
An innovation this year, and one
that will no doubt prove popular, is
that the fair will be conducted at
night, with every feature running
wide open. In fact the start-off of
the eightieth annual will be the
night show beginning Tuesday night
and the main attraction on this night
is to be a public wedding of a Hamil-
ton couple on a stage erected for the
purpose in front of the grand stand
And it is to be real wedding-the
most elaborate affair of the kind ever
staged in Butler county. 1t is to be
one of those affairs such as are
dreamed of only when couples Of
royal blood prepare to enter on the
journey Ger the seas of matrimony.
1t is to be the real thing with at
tendants galore in brilliant costume,
music and flowers, etc. An enormous
crowd is expected on Tuesday night
to witness this interesting event as
the public in general seems to be get
ting worked up to fever heat at the
thought of it.
Other big features of the night
show will be the saddle horse show,
| fireworks and other entertainment
each night before the grand stand
beginning Wednesday night.
There will be three big harness
races each day and also a pony race.
The big purses offered by the board
are attracting the attention of real
speed owners, and fine racing can be

provisions will be the center of the con-
troversy when the tariff bill gets into
conference. The question is not Alto
gether partisan, as there are many
members of the House who are Stanch
supporters of the President and who
are not certain that they would like to
see Congress let go of its tariff making
powers. There is no longer any doubt
of the constitutionality of the flexible
provision and a delegation by Congress
of its duty-making authority, as the
courts have already passed upon it. The
first step was when Congress delegated
to the Interstate Commerce Commission
the right to fix rates of transportation
in interstate commerce. The effort to
get some kind Of a commission to ham
die the tariff problem is a recognition
of the difficulty of having 531 members
of a legislative body try to handle the
complicated questions that arise from
time to time in the application of tariff
principles.
Congress is coming to the idea of
administrative commissions subject to
control by the National Legislature.
And what happens to the tariff may
become an important precedent in the
handling of other problems that are
partly judicial and partly administra-
tive. d. L.
