THOSE BIG-HEARTED MoLDERs

The following article, under the
head "Inspiring," appeared in the
Here and There column of the Ham
ilton Journal on Wednesday of this
week, and speaks for itself:
"One of the most inspiring contri-
buttons received by the Christmas
in Every Home" committee was that
of S25 from the local chapter of the
International Molders organization.
Members of this organization have
probably suffered more from the
present industrial situation than any
other class of labor in the city of
Hamilton, and the local has beer
hard put to help care for its needy
members.
Despite this fact, however, they
cheerfully donated $25 to the fund
saying they were in sympathy with
the Christmas in Every Home
movement and were certain that as
many of the needy as could be reach
ed with the funds available, would
be looked after on Christmas day BY
the committee in charge"

DRIFTING

America drifting toward the rocks
finds in most high positions of gov
ernment and industry and finance
those who propose only the remedy
that those who have not shall give
to those who have not.
The only remedy that comes from
the white house or from the counting
rooms of the czars of industry and
finance is that relief funds shall be
raised to be distributed to those who
are in need.
1t is true that the hungry must
be fed and that they will be fed. It
is true that shelter must be afforded
those who are without shelter. 1t is
true that fuel must be given those
who are in need of fuel, and clothing
to those who need clothing.
That, however, is not ending the
depression, nor is it making any at
tempt to end the depression.
And the relief doled out in amounts
that is putting the needy of this coun-
try on a level of living that is equal
ed only in Oriental lands.
They seek to swim to shore from
the sinking boat with an anvil in
their arms.
Instead of increasing wages they
are reducing wages. Instead of short
ening hours to increase the number OF
employed they are lengthening hours
and adding to the millions already
unemployed.
From the workers comes the only
constructive programs to relieve the
situation, and these programs are
pushed aside by the high and mighty
with little or no consideration
Conditions and increasing misery
are driving home to the workers that
only through themselves will things
ever be righted, and those who pro-
duce the things the people need, have
those things they have produced so
abundantly instead of standing in
bread lines.

LABOR PAYS THE BILL

In favor of the payment of divi-
dends, against an honest attempt at
maintenance of wages, one hears the
argument that stockholders are en-
titled to return on their investment.
Many are poor and dependent on the
dividend for a livelihood.
All of which may be true.
But-and here's a phase of the
question of which little is heard
how much of the stock is watered?
To what extent is the wage Garner
being asked to pay for the mistakes
of Wall street prosperity?
In 1923 and 1929, you may recall,
stocks were the basis of much finan-
cling. Everybody was buying and cap
italization often was doubled, for no
other reason than that the stocks
could be sold. Stock dividends were
numerous.
AS result, many large industries
today are very seriously over-capital-
ized Dividends could, perhaps, be
paid on the original amount of shares
outstanding without serious Difficult
ty. But they must be paid double
in many cases. And labor is asked
to foot the bill.
And another thought
What would happen if congress
should enact law declaring it unlaw-
full and against public policy for any
corporation to pay more than pc,
cent dividend, either in cash or stock
unless and until it has laid away ar
equal reserve against unemployment

IN EVERY HAMILTON HOME
CHRISTMAS

Santa Claus, no doubt, is a pretty
busy individual these days, but not a
whit more so than his lieutenants
in the Christmas in Every Hamilton
Home headquarters out at 9Th and
High streets, who are working body
and mind to put across the thought
behind the movement. At the rate
contributions are coming in for this
most worthy cause it is, indeed, 60
ing to cause much thinking on the
part of those in charge if the goal
is to be reached.
At the present writing not much
more than one-fourth the sum requir-
ed to bring Christmas cheer in the
homes of all Hamilton's needy has
been subscribed 1t is earnestly
hoped that all who can contribute will
do SO at once so that the workers in
the movement will have some idea as
to just how far they can go in max
ing up the baskets.
This is the eleventh annual cam
paign of the Christmas in Every
Hamilton Home movement in Hamil-
ton, and much credit for it is due
John E. Northway, secretary of the
Hamilton Chamber of Commerce, who
first broached the plan. The move
ment has always heretofore had easy
sailing, and was great success be-
cause Hamiltonians readily respond
ed to the call for it's aid with gen.
erous contributions of money, food
stuffs, toys and clothing.
This year, however, because of
much unemployment and the depres-
sion generally, with its consequent
greater need, and because many have
relatives and friends who need aid
and whom they feel they must first
help, things are moving rather slowly
for the movement.
But surely there are many in Ham
ilton who can give, and should give,
that none go without the cheer on
Christmas Day that all should have
and enjoy. If you are one of these,
give-give till it hurts, and then en-
joy your Christmas Day, the glad day.
Just 81 much more for your thought
fulness of those less fortunate than
you The time Is getting short
won't you send in your contribution
at once?

THE CASE OF A POPULAR
ROOTI ECCER

In Texas city two officers of the
law are being tried for the murder
of bootlegger who was popular with
the townspeople.
Of course the officers of the law
are presumed innocent until jury
has found otherwise.
However, at the time of the shoot
ing, this newspaper is informed, the
populace was so incensed that the two
accused officers narrowly escaped
summary mob treatment.
The bootlegger, it seems, was ex-
ceedingly popular. 1t may be assumed
that he was not only affable, but that
he purveyed fair goods at fair price.
The people were with him.
1t is all q sad and sorry sidelight
on this thing called prohibition which
prohibits not, nor yet does it hold
forth hope.
Congress does well to plan record
vote on this issue.

best shaky question of tactics. On
such grounds secession from demo-
cratic organization is not excusable.
The American Federation of Labor
in this case has acted with dignity
and restraint. Of course a great por-
ton of the federal employees organi-
zation will want to remain with the
A. F. of L. The door is open. 1t is
clear that any local union can at once
secure a direct charter of affiliation.
The nearly 10000 who voted to stay
in have an open road before them.
1t is not to be expected that the
American Federation of Labor will
lose any time in putting a bona fide
international union in this great and
important field.
Secession was inexcusable. II
works a grave injustice to those who
have been summarily dissociated from
the great parent body. 1t serves nj
purpose except the purposes of those
who rejoice in every division within
labor's ranks. The federal employees
will return to an organization within
their field, properly related to the
great organized labor movement.

SUPERIOR TO PROFIT

American labor" says Matthew
Woll, editor of the American Photo

of men to earn a profit, but it de-
clares that as compared to human

ever. Profit is distinctly a secondary
aim and it must always be so.

must share in the making of these
decisions.

SECESSION NOT ExCUSABLE

The National Federation of Federal

Few organizations have been better
served by the A. F. of L. than this
organization which has left the ranks.
1t is conceivable that secession
from a democratic organization might
be explained, if not excused, if a
vital principle were involved, if a
definite change of direction were at
stake.

morning in an auto accident al

Point for medical attention. He
is in the General hospital and
Thursday night was reported as
getting along nicely. Another man,
a Mr.. Cowan, suffered bruises and
decorations.
The accident occurred about
eight o'clock Thursday morning.
According to report the ar, in
which were Clifton, Cowan and
two other men, in attempting to
cros the highway bridge, struck
the railing instead of the bridge
and went down the embankment
and under the railroad bridge near
by. The car is said to have been
SO badly demolished that nothing
can be salvaged except the
wheels.
Clifton received a severe throat
cash which laid open to view the
vein and carotid artery,
but did not sever them. AS it was
Clifton last a lot of blood before
ne could receive medical attention.
IN view of the way the car was
wrecked. it is considered remark
able that the men were not more
