EAGLES READY
For Greatest Annual Outing
and Fourth of July
Celebration Ever

Ali roads lead to the Butler county
fairgrounds Saturday, and all roads
will be crowded to capacity-the
weather man being in good humor and
favorable. And it is expected that the
largest crowd ever assembled on the
local fairgrounds, outside Thursday
of fair week, will be present to par
ticipate in Butler Aerie No. 407, Fra
ternal Order Eagles annual outing
and Independence Day celebration.
independence Day has always been
recognized as hurrah day, whoopee
day generally, especially SO by those
who must have periodical occasions
when they can let loose or give vent
to long pent-up feelings of enthu-
siasm and JOY. 1t is day when
everyone more or less seeks enter
tainment and amusement of some sort
and it is just for this purpose that the
members of the local Eagles Lodge
go to much trouble and expense to
prepare what is much recognized as
the most elaborate Fourth of July
celebration program staged anywhere
in the state, and surrounding states.
The committee announces all ar
rangements complete, and that the
affair of Saturday is to outdo all pre-
vious attempts. One thing that will
no doubt prove disappointing to some
of the speed demons and that is that
there will be no motorcycle races this
year. But oh, boyl says the commit
tee, what lot of other things are
provided instead for amusement and
entertainment throughout the day.
There will be band concerts after
noon and evening as well as dancing.
The biggest midway with its shows,
games and devices, ever seen at the
Eagles annual affair is arranged for.
Korno, country store, games, contests
and many things too numerous to
mention will be provided to keep
things stirring every minute of the
day. Lunch and refreshments will be
obtainable at all times. A swell day.
light fireworks display will be put
on in the afternoon and then, of
course, the special pride of the Eagles
at all times, will be the night fire
works display. No use going into this
part of the program, for everyone
knows that the Eagles fireworks dis
play takes its hat off to none for
beauty and grandeur. Then to top it
all off, someone is going to get a
swell automobile free of charge.
So that all that is necessary to
have one big day on the glorious
Fourth is to pack the basket, get NOM
and the kiddies together and HE out
to the fairgrounds. The Eagles will
do the rest and glad to have you and
yours as guests for the day.

In fact they were almost thought

No longer did either the professor

"Now, pray don't put yourselves out

They didn't have to say this any
more. And when they had SOAP

To the Members Of Organized Labor:
Greetings:
The labor press has published much
| news of the most recent strikes in the
full fashioned hosiery industry. You
are aware of the tremendous fight
being carried on by this union to pre-
vent wage cutting and to maintain
the principle of collective dealings.
The situation in our industry is
especially critical at this time. Our
national agreement with the union
manufacturers expires at the end of
August. 1t is possible that this group
of employers may be shortsighted
enough to try to "chiseF" wages and
run "open" shop as a result of the
present depression.
For this reason we are making a
special effort to push our union made
hosiery campaign at this time SO as
to bring a realization of the power of
|
who sell branded article. A circu-
lar listing the various brand names of
union made and union labelled hosiery
(full fashioned) is enclosed herewith
Several central body secretaries
have asked us for the names of unfair
hosiery firms in addition to the names
of the union firms. We therefore also
enclose a list of the most notorious
and best advertised brands made by
anti-union concerns.
The following are notorious, anti
union firms who are fighting higher
wages, shorter hours and unionization
of their employees, some of which are
operating under strike conditions
now.
"Blue Moon" - Largeman, Gray
Company, Croydon, Penna.
"Kayser"- Julius Kayser & Com

ers are holding a series of organiza-
ton meetings in the Western Penn
sylvania mining communities where
the workers have been clamoring for
the union.
Big Union Membership Gain
Several thousand miners have re-
newed their membership in the union
and others not heretofore members
have joined The National Miners
Union, which surged into the field
when the bituminous coal companies
repudiated their contracts with the
union a few years ago, have turned on
the operators and have been staging
riots and other kinds of violence.
Now the bona fide union is being
urged to come in and stabilize the
coal industry.
Just what the outcome will be is
problematical, but one thing is GER
tain, the bituminous coal industry in
Pennsylvania is getting fed up on
their strikebreakers, made up largely
of communists.

THE BOY SCOUTS
 AS VOLUNTEERS
Doing Good Work Collect. ing Articles for Needy
 Families in Waterbury
GIVE THEM A CALI

Boy Scouts, through the Scout executive, Arthur D. Marston, have volunteered to assist in collecting clothing for needy families, in connection with the Lincoln House Association, and the Unemploy- ment Relief Committed.
 Due to the fact that all Scout troops are not holding their reg ular meetings during the month of August, 1t is difficult to get in touch with the boys.
 If Scouts in different parts of the city will offer their services to collect clothing in their own neighborhoods, taking the articles to the nearest Fire House, or to the old Fire station, on Kendrick avenue. 1t will help a lot.
 Scouts who volunteer for this service should notify the Scout off, flee (4-7900, so that Scout off cials may get in touch with them when calls come to the office.
 This IS commendable work and everybody who has anything to spare which can be made useful to others should see that 1t is turned over to those who have the work of relieving distress in hand. Call the Scout office, or leave what you have to give at one of the fire stations. .It might be well to re. mark. too. that if you are ac- quainted with a Boy Scout. any thing you entrust tohim will be de- livered promptly and with thanks. The Boy Scouts are trusty mes sengers and take pride in doing q good turn every day and oftener If possible. This is one of the principles of the organization.

 Republicans, under the state leadership of w. Kingsland Macy, chairman. got themselves into the political jam in about this man. ner:
 They pushed the Seabury graft hunt in New York.
 They put Governor Franklin D.

There was an open door to the scene of the industry. The men at work manifested no alarm over the arrival of the fed eral agents and members of the emergency squad.

 Photographers were instructed not to take her picture. She was seated comfortably in the witness chair, but she %as as determined as ever to ignore the committee, the senate and the fact that her refusal is allegedly a contempt of the senate.

 "T cannot say" replied the sen- ator. No member of the com mittee can say that
 Miss Burroughs read a statement to the committee which said she would give no evidence. Senator Wagner, democrat. N. Y. piled her with questions. She would not re- ply not even when Wagner asked If she was a Methodist or whether she had been employed by Cannon as secretary.

 Miss Burroughs was not to be tempted into answering any ques- tions and remained silent.
