The season draws to close in an
other and the boys are on edge for
the final squirt in team standings and
individual efforts.
The Struthers clinched the second
half laurels this week by taking over
the Rigelsky Tailors for three games
with Mike Olcnik leading the way.
Jack Ekoniak took it upon himself
to pinch hit in the last game and did
a neat job Of it.
There should be no secrets from
any one, especially Jack Glozier who
was trying to win some special prize
in his second game.
With Jack Fitz and Mike Palkovic
leading, the Herman Service annexed
three games at the expense of the
Lisko Electric who are still waiting
for the power rates to 60 up.
Jack Fitz again cased himself into
high individual honors with bril-
liant 257.

PREVAILING WAGE
To Be Policy on Government
Work, Says Hoover

Washington, D. c., Dec. 81, 1880.
Mr.. Stanley Ogg, Secretary, Trades
and Labor Council, 723 So. Seventh
Street, Hamilton, Ohio.
Dear Sir and Brother:
President Hoover, through the
newspapers, announced December 23
that the policy of the federal govern
ment in connection with the payment
of wages on government contracts
government work shall pay the pre-
vailing wages in their respective
communities.
In commenting upon the subject
President Hoover said that at con-
ferences held year ago with busi-
ness and industrial leaders an under
standing was reached whereby the
leading employers would maintain the
existing wage scales.
Every effort should be made to have
contractors carry out TINS ordef OF
the president. To that end it is nee
essary that officials of all state fed
erations of labor and all city central
bodies shall investigate the wages
paid on any government work in
their respective localities.
Any information that will be help
full in maintaining adequate wages
and the eight-hour day will be appre-
ciated.
With best wishes and kindest re-
CARDS, / am,

BUY AMERICAN
MADE GOODS, IS
LABOR SLOGAN
Campaign for Promotion of
Domestic Output Launch
ed by Tariff Group Head
ed by Matthew W0ll.

New York City ULNS)-In an
effort to help eliminate the present
industrial depression and consequent
unemployment of American workers
the Americas Wage learners Pro-
tective Conference, the tariff group of
the American Federation of Labor, of
which Matthew Woll is president,
voted on Wednesday to inaugurate a
national campaign to bring about the
purchase of American-made goods.
The slogan adopted was Help
American Labor-Buy American Made
Goods" The program adopted calls
upon all organized wage earners,
their friends and sympathizers to
purchase American-made goods.
A similar demand will be made
upon the national government, the
Governors of the various states and
the mayors of cities and the heads of
our national, state and city depart
ments that they specify in the con-

January, 1881

JaHuaIy, 1901.
To Organized Labor, Greetings:
Another year, of opportunity is be-
fore US. A year in which some will
advance; others will lose ground and
others will stay just where they are
at present.
Many will be content without MAX
ing any progress whatever. That is
stagnation and the end of ambition.
Many will be disheartened because of
failure last year. That is foolish.
Never mind last year. This is the
year that matters.
What | am leading up to is the
great question with which we art con-
cerned-TRADE UNIONISM. How
can we make our organizations
stronger and more effective this year,
is our problem.
Success or failure is merely mat
ter of habits. Cultivate success hab-
its and success will come to you. Be
a slave of unsuccessful habits and
failure is inevitable.
Stronger and more effective organ
izations will be the result of our sue
cess habits, as shall point out.
There are those who never culti-
waited the habit of being real trade
unionists. Many become members of
trade unions when forced by neces-
sity to do so. Just as soon as that
necessity is removed, they are again
numbered with the hopeless and aim
less-the unorganized.
Instead of joining an organization
and becoming an active and vital part
of it, they drift with those of like
hearted, shiftless caliber into
the dismal swamp of the unorganized.
The durability of the American
Federation of Labor proves that the

tracts which they let for supplies
that the goods be the product of
American labor.
Want Letter Slogan
President Hoover and Postmaster
General Brown will be asked to have
the post office department place in
the cancellation stamp, used on all
letters passing through the mails,
the slogan, Help American Labor
Buy American-Mad Goods"
In reporting upon this subject Pres
ident Woll called attention to the fact
that the British and Cuban govern
ments, among others, used the post
office cancellation stamp as medium
to promote the purchase of the prod
ucts of their respective countries and
further directed attention to the fact
that this method of promoting the
trade of foreign countries is being
used to influence American buyers.
The conference gave considerable
attention to present patent and trade
mark laws and the practices carried
on at present President Woll report
ed that America was the only indus
trial country which permitted the
products protected by patent and
trade mark registration to be produc-
ed in foreign countries. 1t was voted
to call upon congress for amendments
to the patent laws which would pro-
tect American labor and industries
from domination by means of our
trade mark and patent laws.
Can End Misery
"The American people have it with
in their means to eliminate the pres
ent deplorable conditions with so
many millions of honest and willing
American workers unable to secure
employment" President Woll said at
the close of the meeting IF, in adj
dition to the general labor program
for the elimination of unemployment
the American people will but insist
upon purchasing goods that are the
products of American labor, the
wheels of American industry will
soon be whirling again. Many of our
people have injured themselves and
American labor in general by pur-
chasing imported goods. Many short
sighted American business men, in
terested solely in securing the larg-
est possible profits, have been advo
eating the purchasing of the prod
ucts of foreign workers in preference
to American-made goods. This un-
American practice has resulted in a
curtailed purchasing power of the
great mass of American wage work
ers, the backbone at all times of
American prosperity
"Quite aside from the profits in
volved it is essential that the Ameri-
can market be supplied with the
products of American labor"

P 0. BUDGET FILLED
WITH FAVORS

Washington.-The senate refused
to pass the post office appropriation
bill when Senator Blaine showed that
the measure reeks with graft.
This department operates at de-
ficit and Postmaster General Brown
opposes shorter hours and higher
wages for employees because of ex-
pense. He demands that the depart
ment be placed "on business basis .
Senator Blaine exposed leasing
system by which the department pays
rentals on buildings that range as
high as go per cent year on the
investment.
"Now it is proposed to permit the
postmaster general to enter into
similar leases for garages without
competition of any kind" said Sen
ator Blaine
81 have no doubt that fraud has
been involved. | have no doubt that
certain political contributions have
entered into consideration of these
leases. | believe the government is
paying at least S10,000,000 year
more than fair rental, and that it
stands to lose $150,000,O00 within the
next ten years." said Mr.. Blaine.
Other senators referred to exorbi-
tant subsidies that the post office de-
partment is paying to airplane and
steampship companies for carrying
mail
1t is estimated that these grants
total S36,000,000 year, while the
postmaster general pleads poverty
when postal employees ask improved
work conditions.

URGE NEW BANK LAWS

Washington Sweeping changes il,
the federal banking laws are urged
by John w Poole, comptroller of the
currency, in his annual report. He
would prevent repetition of con-
ditions under which $500 banks clos
ed their doors the last 10 years, tying
up nearly $2,OO0,ooO,o0o in deposits.
During the first 10 months of 1880,
he said, TAP banks, with deposits of
$300,000,000, closed their doors. Dur
ing the same period in the previous
years there were 522 suspensions with
deposits of $200,OO0,000.

MANNING APPEALS FOR
CLOSER COOPERATION

majority of trade unionists have
never deserted their organizations
| They have cultivated the success
| habit of remaining true and loyal
at all times. If those who have cul-
tivated this success habit, will resolve
to help others who have not the in
telligence and courage to cultivate
this same success habit, our move
ment will be made stronger and much
more effective this year than ever
before.
While hard times come to all, times
are always hard for the unorganized.
The unorganized are always at the
mercy of those who employ them.
Fear of dismissal without notice
makes existence hideous to those
without the pNotection of a trade
union. Low wages and long workday
create discomfort which saps vitality
There is another success habit nee
essary to make our organizations
stronger and more effective. 1t is so
very simple that it seems strange
that so many fail to cultivate this
habit. | mean the spending of union
earned money for union labeled mer-
chandise and union services of all
kinds. Remember the slogan of the
union label trades department-not
one cent of union earned money for
the unfair employer.
If all trade unionists will cultivate
these two success habits and influence
others to do the same, this will be a
Happy and Prosperous Year for
organized labor.
