THE MOONEY BILLINGS CASE

No American with sense of JUS
tice can read of the Mooney-Billings
case in California without feeling
of outrage. AS Lillian Symes points
out in fine analysis of the Mooney
Billings affair in Harper's Magazine,
the case is really an American Drey-
fus case, only justice has not been
triumphant in California as it was
in France.
The Dreyfus case" she writes,
"had its belated happy ending after
II years. After Is years nothing
short of a violent awakening of the
states long dormant sense of social
Indignation. can save US from the dis
grace of having these men die in pri-
SON and from having some future
generation shudder at California's
callous Indifference and stupidity"

OHIO RAPS YELLOW DOG"

With the signing of the bill by
Governor George White on last Sat
urday, Ohio takes its place with the
other progressive states which have
enacted measures against "yellow
dog" contracts. The passing of the
bill makes all such contracts in Ohio
invalid. 1t means that employers in
Ohio can no longer compel workers
to sign contracts wherein they agre
not to join a labor union while en-
ployed by the one with whom the
contract is signed. The bill, as pass
ed, declares such contracts to be
against public policy.
The yellow dog" bill is one that
Ohio organized labor strived for
many years to have enacted, and it's
passage is cause for much gratifca-
ton in union circles. The bill was
sponsored in the legislature by Sen
ator Joseph N. Ackerman, of Cleve-
land, and it is pleasing to note it had
the hearty support of Butler county's
representative, William M. Goodwin
and the senator from this district,

YOUR MOTHER

"Is there anything that brings you
nearer to God than the thought of
your mother-of her patience, faith
fulness, wisdom, and love? When all
the world is out against you, when
everything that you have laid your
hand to has failed, when you are the
object of the scoff or cold pity of the
men around you; when you retreat
from the store, from the city, that
you may get away from those things
which make life uncomfortable to you,
then there is one refuge for your
broken heart. Though you have de-
served obloquy, and gone down from
virtue to the filth of vice, there is
one altar where you can be heard,
one shrine where you will be accept
able, and one that will throw around
you the arms of compassion and love.
| mean your mother. The power of
her goodness, the sweetness of her
heart, her long suffering her undying
love, give you a chance, and are a
charter of new life to you.-
Beecher.

WOMEN'S WAGES
DROP

New York. - Working women's
wages are being Sharply lowered"
despite contrary statements, deports
the states bureau of women in indus
try.
With the exception of women work
ing as permanent, full-time sales
clerks, who "seem to have been able
to maintain their previous salaries in
most cases." the clerical, or white
collar worker must have had to adj
just her life during the last year to
lower standards of living in order to
make her reduced earnings cover the
necessities of life," the report states.
The general average of clerks
wages before the stock market crash
was between SIS and SIS a week. In
February of this year clerks were Of
fered $S to $18 week, and much
higher educational standards were re-
quired. Wages of typists dropped
from a range of SIS to $22 to one of
$12 to $21, with the $12 offer being
the more usual. Stenographers have
Jared even worse, their rates drop
ping from SIS for a beginner and $35
for an expert to So and 500, respec-
lively.
Wages for domestic workers ap-
parently have gone down more than
any other GLASS;" the report states.
Laundry workers rates have been
considerably reduced
Wages of women factory workers
have also been lowered but--the re-
ductions are harder to trace due to
the fact that payment on piece
work basis is increasingly replacing a
flat weekly wage for many unskilled
factory operations"

FIVE-DAY WORK WEEK

New York.-The five-day week is

"and in the interim adhere to this
resolution"

UNCLE SANS WORK
NO BED OF ROSES"

Washington. - Government EN-.
ployes, as whole, are not lolling in
luxury, nor do they draw princely
salaries, according to a study of the
10-year history of the federal retire
ment law made for the National Fed
GRAFTON of Federal Employees.
The great bulk of employees who
have been retired received salaries of
less than ST, 800 year.
Far from being a life time sinecure
for employees, the government service
has large and costly labor turnover
each year.
The study shows that contributions
by government employees to the re-
tirement fund have exceeded all ex-
pectations and soon will average $780,
100000 annually Employees con-
tributed 1928, 3,698,899 since the law
became operative in 1921. Of this
amount $S22,961, ,90716 represents in
terest on the deposits.
Against this total the government
contributed only $40,450,000, of which
$19,950,O000 was paid into the fund on
July l, 1923, and $2O,5oO,0Oo paid on
July l, 1929.
Retired employees receive 1892
984 annually. This is divided among
1873 persons. Analysis of pensions
paid shows that II persons receive
less than $100 retirement pay year,
127 less than 5000, 437 less than 5000,
842 less than $400, 1,643 less than
$500, 1,678 less than 5000, and 1,735
less than $500.

DEPRESSION CURES

Many cures for the slump we are
in are offered these days, and among
others the following is taken from
the Newark Leader.
Cause after cause is given us for
business depressions. To get to the
real solution one needs but glance
at income tax reports.
No country can have any lasting
prosperity when a few hundred rich
persons have in their hands more of
the nations income than million
workers and farmers together.
For every one rich, thousands of
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1931-05-08

people have to be poor. 1t cannot be
otherwise.
A nation is much like building,
its foundation has to be sound, so it
can withstand the wear of time.
The toiler in factory and field is
the foundation of every country, with
out their labor no wealth is pro-
duced.
When they are prosperous the ma
ton is secure.
Cutting wages too deeply will not
give US prosperity or even normal con-
ditions. Past hard times" prove that.
The real cutting should begin at
the top and not the bottom of the
scale.
To have prosperity every producer
must get their just share in wealth
produced. Speculation in values must
be eliminated. Security to capital is
justifable, but profit and interest
must be reduced. Then the producers
dollar can have a greater purchasing
power.
1t all means jobs and consumption
of so-called production.

WHAT WE WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW

Governmental functions at times
seem fantastic, but at other times
quite useful. For instance, it is use.
full to be told how to reduce your
waistline and become more efficient
but you must not reduce it too much
for there is efficiency in a little
overplus of fat-a reserve, so tc
speak.
One thing we learn is that persons
too lean are apt to be nervous and
have too little resistance; not as
much as one slightly fat. A fat per-
son, a too fat person, we are told,
has too much of load to carry, and
efficiency is reduced by the difficulty
in getting around quickly.
This comes from the Bureau of
Home Economics. 1t gives further
advice on the diet, what foods to eat,
how much of it, or how little, in
order to reach top notch of we'll
being.
Now if this or some other bureau
will just be good enough to tell
100000 unemployed where they can
earn enough money to buy some food,
any quality and any amount, food for
themselves and their families, who
are developing too many nerves from
being too lean, things will take on
better aspect.

HIGHER WEALTH TAX
FAVORED BY COUZENS

Washington.-Higher taxes or
wealth is favored by Senator Couz-
ems, himself a millionaire. The next
congress, he said, cannot avoid con-
sideration of this issue.
Senator Couzens pointed out that
incomes of the lower earning classes
the last decade, declined while in
comes of more than $4,000 increased
100 per cent.
In 1925, he said, there were $500
persons with incomes of 100000 or
more. In 1929 this number jumped
to 14,701.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1931-05-08


anization, with its reduction of em-
ployment, ought to mean higher
wages and increased consumption.
We should exert every effort to pre-
vent the passing exigencies of the
period from depriving the worker of
share in the profits of mechanical
ton. Machines produce but they do
not buy their own products"
No, this is not from a speech by
a trade unionist. 1t is from the Mag
azine of Wall Street, which is not by
any means an advocate of organized
labor.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1931-05-08

but it can and will preserve wage
standards, which in turn will become
one of the most prominent factors in
leading US out of the depression which
even now is subsiding.
Had there been union cards in the
possession of more workers in the
past, it is even possible that there
would have been no "panic." Which
is something else to ponder on.
The point is that unionism is of
supreme value, and in return for the
benefits which it bestows is entitled
to the very best that is in every
union man.
The present may be the time that
calls for more giving than receiving.
If SO, we can give of cooperation
and aggressiyeness to the limit. We
can all pull together, forgetting differ
ences of opinion, if any, and refusing
to listen to poisoned words of those
who would stir dissention and unrest,
Situations like the present are the
delight of labor's enemies, always
hopeful but seldom successful.
They will chalk up another failure
and unionism will sweep on to more
gains than have been
achieved in the past if united front
is maintained, and the weapons in
our possession to meet just such
are used.-Ex.
