BEWARE THE RED HERRING

Perhaps the best friend Wall street
has today are those who point to the
national capital and say, "Let the pol
iticians do something"
To throw upon political life the
blame for industrial and financial
piracy and shortcoming is to draw a
red herring across the trail
This depression is an industrial de-
preston. The economic world has
gone out of gear. PUT THE BLAME
WHERE 1T BELONGS.
Why should not industrial over
lords, with their excess profits and
fabulous reserves securely tucked
away, be happy if politicians can be
blamed? And why should they not
be happy if all eyes can be turned
toward politics for a cure?
Keep the blame pinned where it be-
longs and BRING FORTH THE CURE
WHERE THE BLAME LIES.
The proposal offered to the nation
by Matthew Woll does that.
When the economic world accepts
its own responsibility and sets out to
readjust itself for permanent pros
perity, then we shall be on the high
road. And even those whose sole in
terest is in profit will be better off,
for, if we may venture to state a
sound but fearsome truth, this eco-
nomic order will be assured a perma-
nence which it may not have unless
it can find it's way to an existence
based upon justice.

scale. 1t insures a recognition of
rights. 1t is a profit producer. It's
colors glow with humanity. It's in
signals stand for health, skill and
dignity. 1t is the foe of the "open
shop" and it points to growing CO.
operation among the workers for the
millennium of universal rights. 1t wins
patronage on merit, indexes charac-
ter and promotes American individ-
uality. It stands for some of the no
blest feelings of mankind and woman
kind, the testimony of genuineness
the proof of excellence, the ameliora-
tion of the wage worker.

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Here is something to think about.
The sworn circulation of some rs
weekly trade union newspapers in the
| United States is about three-quarters
of million.
That is, from one point of view, a
lot of circulation There are, let US
say, twice that number of weekly la
Dor newspapers, and if the circulation
runs evenly throughout, then the total
circulation is about million and a
| half
Which means that only about half
the members of organized labor read
a local weekly labor newspaper, or
any other weekly newspaper dealing
with labor affairs.
And that is not SO promising. Every
member of organized labor ought to
read the weekly newspaper published
in his own city and he ought to read
two or three others. In addition to
which he ought to read the monthly
magazine published by his interna-
| tional union.
| The obsession for baseball scores,
made by purely commercial organ
izations for box office purposes, will
never relieve the unemployment prob
lem, which at this moment has six
million workers literally by the
! throats.
| There never was time in world
history when SO much information
was available about the workings of
our great economic machine nor was
there ever time when so much of it
was being printed in labor papers.
But the statistical fact is that the
movement is NOT reading this infor-
nation, as whole. 1t is statistical
fact that great part of the move
ment is not reading anything of value
to men and women as trade unionists
This is one of the genuinely serious
things of the day. What can be done
about it? Plenty.
1t can and should be part of the
routine business of every local meet
ing to have definite period of time
devoted to the question of labor news
papers. The question should be ask
ed of every member:
Are YOU reading labor news
paper?
And then this question should be
asked:
Is your subscription paid up to
date?
There should follow discussion of
the most important news of the week..
At least 15 minues should be devoted
to this in every meeting and a half
hour would be better.

Romantic Relics

There were many romantic relics In
the exhibition of Scottish antiques re-
Gently held In London Many women
visitors found the baby clothes of
Charles l among the most interesting
of the exhibits They included little
cap, which might quite well be worn
by modern baby-three centuries
haven't changed the particular fashion
so very much! The child who wore
the baby clothes was to go down in
history as the Royal martyr and his
fate is recalled by another relic-a
crystal locket which contains clot of
blood taken from his scaffold. Other
interesting exhibits included the first
Bible printed in Scotland and Sir Wal

THE STREET CAR JAM

1t looks very much right now like
the Cincinnati & Lake Erie Railroad
Company, owner of our city car lines,
has run up against a snag in City
Manager Russell P. Price and city
council, from which it is going TO find
tough Shedding in untangling itself
There is no question but what the
traction line and the street car sys-
tenn has been good thing for the
city. Transportation systems are
good things for any city. They are
needed where a city is to go forward.
Hamilton has been unusually FORUM
ate along this line in that there aren't
many cities anymore where they en-
JOY a fve-cent fare. Another thing,
there is very little complaint heard
of the service on the local line But,
when the company comes along and
insists on running freight trains over
the city's main streets at any and all
hours, it is over-reaching itself. The
people won't stand for it.
City Manager Price and council
members have been doing everything
possible to come to an agreement with
the railway company as to terms Of
a new franchise under which the COM
pany could continue operation of its
cars in and through Hamilton, but the
company seems to take a stubborn
stand and refuses to "kick-in."
The city officials have been more
than patient and considerate. City
officials have grown tired of the at
titude of the company and, as a re-
suit, council, upon recommendation of
the city manager, has authorized Mr..
Price to get data and probable cost
of installing a city-owned trackless
or gas bus system of transportation.
The advice of the Press to the rail
way company is that it get busy and
act-act quickly-if it wants to save
its hide Hamilton people are rather
sweet on municipal ownership, and
already sentiment seems to be gath
ering for city ownership of trans
portation system, and the way things
are going hereabouts right now
should Manager Price, after securing
the figures on cost, recommend that
the city go in on its own, he will find
the people back of him to the limit.
So get busy, Mr.. Railway Com
pany. Ask the gas and electric com
panies. They knowi

Real Estate Promoter
Defrauds Home Buyers

Washington.-A jury has found
Joseph B. Shapiro, real estate pro-
motor, guilty of using the mails to
defraud purchasers. The testimony
showed that Shapiro had sold houses
without informing the purchasers that
the houses were encumbered with
hidden" mortgages. Purchasers
bought the houses with the under
standing that there were either no
mortgages or only first and second
mortgages against them, to be con-
fronted later with demands to pay
ground trusts" in addition.

There ought to be subscription
agent in every union to whom MEM
bers could turn for easy payment of
subscriptions to whatever papers they
read or want.
The number of newspapers read by
union members could be and should
be doubled.
There never was a time when Ia
Dor newspapers were printing so much
valuable material.
There never was time when labor
newspapers were as valuable as they
are now.
There never was time when labor
newspapers could perform such valu-
able service, nor when they were so
badly in need of support for their
splendid efforts.
Build your newspaper circulation
and then watch your newspaper cir
culation fight for you. Circulation to-
DAY means organized opinion and or
ganized opinion is the only kind that
gets anywhere.
Don't get the foolish idea that buy
ing a labor newspaper is just "help-
ing the editor"
Buying labor newspaper means
helping yourself to knowledge and
helping your movement to greater
strength.
Buy newspapers, and read them
They are tremendously valuable.

the result OF stock market ventures he
said today at the District Jail, where
he is awaiting sentence.
I can't see yet how the jury reached
their conclusion" he said, for until the
end I confidently expected acquittal."
He reafhrmed that he could not I'M
derstand how the charges of falsifyinp
entries in the records of the bank and
a report to the controller of the cur
rency could have been sustained, de-
clsring, as he contended during the
trial, that these lay at the door Of

He also was convicted of misapplying
the funds Of the bank and of abstract
ing collateral securities held fer Mrs.

market dealings in which he was
caught, he said. in an effort to help
her and protect the bank
The bank suffered 100000 loss.
Any appeal that may be taken awaits
developments next Friday, when the
banker comes up for sentence before
Justice Gordon, who tried his case, in
Criminal Division l of the District
Supreme Court.
Facing a maximum penalty of five
years imprisonment and a $1,000 fine
on each count, Haynes naturally is
hoping for the best.
Future procedure, however, awaits a
conference with his counsel, H. Win
