by pair of oldtimers who, If they

made up for it with the hottest sort of
competition. In this battle C. C. Darr
Of Ballston defeated S. H. Henson Of
Arlington. Darr is the daddy of the
defending champion and Henson the
pater of the renowned Clayton Boo"
Henson who was humbled in the
Northern Virginia final last year by
Chic Darr. With frequent applause
mixed with friendly banter, the two
veterans fought point for point through
the first game which Darr won by so

Darr surprised himself with a streak

little kickers and jumpers.
The old age pension committee for
securing signatures for the proposed
old age pensions initiated bill, had q
tent on the grounds with Charles
Lakes in charge with a crew of as
sistants. Several hundred signatures
were secured. Everywhere one met
ladies wearing the emblem of the
Woman's Union Label League, buster
than bees.
One thing noticeable this year and
commented upon, was the great num-
ber of families and parties who were
there with their lunches spread out
on the grass and benches. This GUS
tom seemed to be dying out but there
appeared a revival of it this year
which made the whole seem more like
old times. 1t all closed late with a
fireworks display that pleased all who
stayed for it.
All in all, 1925 big day, Labor
Day, was a great day in Hamilton.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1932-09-09

Money seemed scarce, and is scarce
and there wasn't great deal spent
and it is a question at this writing
whether Trades Council is to come
out to the good or bad, financially
on the days affair. But it is agreed
that in all other ways, fraternally
socially, ETC., it was big success
The workers, families and friends
were brought together, old friend
ships renewed and new ones formed,
and the spirit and real meaning of
the day emphasized and carried out
in an impressive manner. Those for
tunate enough to be on jobs, and with
no financial worries to bother them,
making whoopee, and the jobless were
encouraged to feel that "it can't last
much longer" and they will soon be
back on the job again. Trades Coun-
ell and the committee feel much graf
flied over the final results of their
efforts to give Hamilton and vicinity
appropriate celebration and observ-
ance of the day and, indeed, they have
right to feel so.
Nicely Arranged
Never was an affair more COM
pletely and nicely arranged than that
of Monday, and everywhere words of
commentator for the committee in
charge were heard THE ground
"set-up" was swell. There was pic
turesque midway with pretty booths
containing all the wares, games and
devices that a real midway contains.
For music there was Lee Inman and
his famous band discoursing concert
music throughout the day. Frank
Vessel and his well-known Venetians
kept the steppers on the big outdoor
dance platform right up to about 10
as well as the toes wiggling of every
one within hearing distance, and the
organ on the merrygo-round with its
popular airs helped keep everyone in
good humor.
Amusements Score
One of the attractions that took
big with the crowd was the horse
shoe pitching contest. Enthusiasts Of
the game were attracted from all over
the county and the experts were there.
The way some of the participants
dropped horseshoes around the
stakes seemed a bit uncanny, and
brought liberal applause. The two
races, afternoon and evening, between
ancient automobiles, brought much
laughter and caused lasting grins.
Korno and other games did much to
enliven the occasion and help keep
the crowd in good humor. The coun-
try store was conceded the finest and
most complete ever on the grounds,
and brought many words of praise
Charlie Baynes and an able corps
worked many days and nights on this
feature to bring it to high standard,
and that they did a swell job of it
goes without saving. A fine surprise

PURITY BAKERY
STILL UNFAIR

No change in the strike situation
at the Purity Bakery, is the report
of Bakers Local Union 81, whose
members are on strike at this plant,
except that there are less men work
ing, and dimunition of product COM
ing from the plant. 1t is said several
of the delivery truckmen report hard
going to dispose of their stocks and
it is expected the truck fleet will
shortly be reduced unless the COM
pany officials will "see the light" be
sensible and decide the best thing to
do is be fair with their employees.
The Purity Company in it's adver-
tisement several weeks ago appealed
to the public to accept it's statement
of the fine conditions it established
for its employees, of the high wages
it paid, etc., and of the unreasonable
ness of its striking employees. The
company failed, however, to state that
the union members offered to accept
1917 per cent reduction in wages,
and that they ask the company to
grant only the same working condi-
tions existing in all the union plants
in the city, which means practically
all plants in the city.
The union bakers ask why the
Purity Company will not accept work
ing conditions satisfactory to the own
ers of all other bakeries. Is it be-
cause Purity is over-hungry and
wants greater profits from the bread

Cotton Cloth Demand
Shows Heavy Increase
BY RALPH F. COUCH

Demand for cotton cloth has vir-
tually doubled in the last four months
for which accurate records are avail
able at headquarters of the Cotton
Textile Merchants Association.
Sales averaged 56,OOO,OO0 yards
weekly during July. The comparable
weekly average of sales was 26,000,-
600 yards in April. The August
average, not yet available, is expected
to show gain over July.
The increase in demand for cloth
probably will force greater activity
on the cotton textile mills during the
next few months, thereby increasing
employment. The stock of cotton
cloth on hand is lower than the otal
of untitled orders.

LABOR DAY CELEBRATION
A FINE SUCCESS
Laying Aside Depression Worries Huge Throng Attends
Labor's Annual Gathering at Fairgrounds
Committee Lauded For Complete Arrange
ments and Fine Program Rendered

When one takes into consideration
the lack of jobs and the consequent
lack of money among the wage work
ers, the 1882 fortieth annual celebra-
tion and observance of Labor Day at
the Butler county fairgrounds last
Monday was the most successful in the
history of the local organized labr
movement. Never did fairer skies
smile than on the morning Of Labor
Day, and so throughout the entire day
and evening, making the weather
ideal for labor's big annual event.
The trek to the fairgrounds began
early in the morning, afoot and on
street cars they came, horse drawn We

hicles and bicycles, busses and auto
mobiles, all brought their loads up
to late evening until there was assem-
bled one of the largest crwds ever
gathered on the grounds on Labor
Day. Though we are right in the
midst of great depression and many
wage earners are jobless, in fact
hardly know where the family's food
for the day is coming from, yet there
seemed to be determination on the
part Of all present that troubles and
worries were to be set aside for the
one day at least and good time en-
joyed.

Good Earth" Fails

I suppose that one of the major
disappointmentS Of the new
season has been the failure of the
New York Theater Guilds produc-
tion of THE Good Earth" to go
into the smash hit class. The
Pearl S. Buck-Owen Davis play
was indifferently received by the
New York critics and will be sent
on tour after finishing the regl-
lar subscription season Of six
weeks.
"The Good Earth" will make
money. But not much. T. is ex-
pected to do much better on the
road tEan the pace it is setting
on Broadway.
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer has gone
right ahead with its plans for
"The Good Earth" It hopes to
make this story one of the great
est pictures of all time, and with
that purpose already has a
camera crew and a production
unit in Peking. China. They are
shooting scenic backgrounds on
the native soil and also plan to
use hundreds of Celestial actors
for atmospheric scenes. Into these
genuine Chinese pictures Holly
wood actors will be set by the
marvelS of what is known in the
industry as the Dunning process.
M-G-M hopes to have a complete
cast of real Chinese principals
with probably only Wang Lung
and Olan impersonated by Holly
wood names.
