STAND BY YOUR UNION

Trade unionism is doubly necessary
when crafty employers talk of no
wage reductions while they silently
attempt to undermine work standards.
The unions are also necessary be-
cause of their power to mold public
opinion in favor of injunction relief,
old age pensions and other social
legislation.
Unions are not attacked in times
of prosperity. Workers must be es-
pecially vigilant in times of depres-
sion.
Anti-union employers, to large
extent, have abandoned open opposi-
ton. Stealth and destruction of the
workers morale are being used
The union hall is the forum where
present conditions can be discussed
and new plans agreed to on how to
hold the lines.
"Stand by your union" should be
the slogan of every worker who ap-
preciates the value of organization.
To become discouraged is to play
into the hands of opponents of every
form and guise.

DAILY GRIND

There is good deal of solemn
nonsense being written about the
elimination of hard work from indus
try. The tug and strain, fret and
sweat of the daily job are supposed
to have disappeared among the un-
skilled and, as for the skilled, why,
they are supposed to have reached a
state of performing mere parlor
tricks. But for these sentimentalists,
let them follow the bricklayer who
lays his hundreds of bricks in eight
hours, when the thermometer hovers
near 95 degrees, or the molder when
he is working about molten iron that
fairly blisters his skin. Or let them
keep up with the carpenter mounted
out a dormer window. Or let them
chase the plumber, or lineman, ty-
ing in, or the inside wireman pent
up in narrow space between four
walls, while the summers sun sends
the mercury up to 95.
No, there is a lot of the old pain
left in the daily grind. There is lot
that calls for nerve, patience, dogged
stamina, and the heart of the true
athlete The millennium is not there,
if it were, then employers would not
be so willing to get rid of the man
As years old, to make room for youth,
with taut muscles, with daring heart
and patient back.
Machinery has eliminated some
drudgery That is well. But let's not
be fooled There is still enough of
backache, eye-strain, and heartbreak
in manual labor to confound the the
orist, and to make the servant more
than worthy of his hire

"ANNUAL WAGE" PLAN

President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, was
quoted last week in a copyrighted
dispatch from Washington as sug-
gesting a change from daily to an
annual wage in industry.
What a wonderful appeal such pro-
posal would have for countless thou
sands of unorganized factory work
ers!
No longer would they have to fear
the specter Of seasonal unemploy-
ment. Economic perils lying in over
production would disappear
1t was on behalf of factory work
ers that President Green undoubtedly
was speaking, inasmuch as there are
certain lines of industry to which such
a plan would be applicable.
Employers intent on maintaining
buying power for their products and
eliminating business slumps could
profit by giving careful consideration
to the suggestion.

THE CURIOUS WAYS OF CRIME

1t will shock a good many good
people to find that forgery is on the
increase, that embezzlenrent is de-
creasing, and that very few bootleg
gers are in Jail. For example, in all
New Jersey there is only one incar-
cerated.
Crime is closely related to the type
of society. The American Indian
knew nothing of forgery, illicit dis
tilling or automobile stealing.
Following the relation of crime to
it's civilization, we find the expected
stealing of food is increasing enor-
mously in those districts worst hit
by destruction of crops by drought.
An intelligent social effort along
right lines would cure a great deal
of our crime. But of course we shall
probably continue to go the longest
way around the problem.

STALE NEWS ABOUT
UNEMPLOYMENT

Approximately four months ago
the United States government count
ed the number of men and women
unemployed in the United States.
Everyone thought we should soon
have the facts about unemployment.
In some four months we have
learned that in April about two and
a half million persons had absolutely
no work and could get none. AS to
several other classes of unemployed
persons we have no figures.
Thus, we know very little, as a re-
suit of the census, about what unem-
ployment existed last April, and we
know nothing about what exists
today.
Perhaps the census figures will be
of some Importance when they are
available, but surely their value has
been reduced by delay, and it is
quite probable that number Of
Americans wonder whether the effort
was worth while
We shall probably find, in the end,
that the United States department of
labor could, if left free of political
influence, maintain a fairly accurate
running count which would have con-
stant value.
But, more important that that, it
is likewise probable that more and
more we shall come to the conclusion
that the more unemployment is made
a problem of industry and less a
problem of politics, the better off we
shall be-

There is a reason why workers
join trade unions, and unions will ex-
ist as long as that cause exists.
Humanitarians, social engineers
and welfare experts may join en-

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
Now cat Home in It's Handsome New Buildng-Thou-
sands Pay Visit on Opening Day and Extend
Congratulations to Institutions Officials
Organized Labor Extended Invitation to Visit New
Building Which Stands as Monument to the Skill
and Efficiency of Trade Union Workers

and abs, expressions of admiration,
were never heard as expressed by the
visitors. A new home for the First
National Bank had long been the
dream of its officials, and now come
to realization. And they have much
cause for pride.
Monument to Union Labor
While the officials of this pro-
gressive bank may feel proud of their
new home, organized labor, too, feels
that it has reason for pride in this
handsome new building. Organized
labor played no small part in its es-
tablishment. When it was first pro-
jected, members of local organized
labor called on President E. G. Ruder
and asked for consideration and that
union labor be specified in the build
ings' erection. President Ruder read
lily responded and promised and as
sured every cooperation on his part.
AS a result every bit of work on the
building, where possible to do so and
outside the common labor, was per-
formed by union labor. And Hamil-
ton labor, at that, where available.
So that the new First National Bank
building really stands as fine monu-
ment to the skill and efficiency of
union labor.
Mr.. E. G. Ruder, Mr.. E. M. Ruder,
Mr.. Don Fitton, Mr.. John Beeler and
all the other officials extend hearty
invitation and urge that all trade
unionists visit their new home in the
construction of which union labor
played such leading part.

WHEN WILL BUSINESS PICK UP?

This industrial breakdown will end
as others have; then business will
pick up and more millions made.
They as the fittest in the remorse-
less struggle for existence will sur

Only few can win the grand
prizes. The balance may perish.
Empty stomachs help quicker
thinking. Already they know that to
make more goods, those already in
stock will have to be sold. That
means the buyers, most of whom are
wage earners, will need more money
to spend. To get more money, wages
will have to be boosted.
So swapping out Of the business
slump depends very largely upon
labor.
Especially now when short-sighted
employers have closed down their
plants and reopened them only to hire
men at reduced rates. Instead of the
patient being given helpful medicine,
he is being offered bigger dose of
the harmful sutff which made him i'll.

Will J. French, director state de-

This state unit made study of

and reached the conclusion that if
managers of industry maintain their
present policy there will be demand
for the lowering of age limits to
which California old age pensions
apply.
The departments survey shows
that out of 2,808 reporting establish
ments, there were 306, or II per cent,
that had age limits.

it is found the II per cent employ 80

been found to influence maximum mir

"The tendency towards such age linn
its is more evident in establishments
which have pension plans or both
group insurance and pension plans.
This tendency is also evident in es-

The First National Bank is now in
it's new home in it's handsome new
building, corner Third and High
streets, having opened its doors for
business for the first time on Tuesday
morning of this week. However, a
formal opening of the new bank quar-
ters for public inspection was held
on last Saturday afternoon and eve
ming, during which time fully $4,000
people visited the bank. That the
number of visitors was way beyond
expectations on the part of the Off
cials themselves may be judged from
the fact that 1000 roses had been
provided to give out as souvenirs of
the occasion, and it soon became ap-
parent that these wouldn't begin to
provide for all those calling, and a
call was sent out for more but only
1000 could be found These were soon
given out, with thousands more visit
ors coming.

of the First National Bank Hamilton
has one of the handsomest and finest
