HAMILTON'S UNEMPLOYMENT
JOKE

in Hamilton in connection with
question. We refer to the new post
office now under constructions

struction, though in passing the site
it is hard to realize there is con-
struction work under way
When it was announced that Hamil-
ton sure was going to get a new
postal building, visions of work float
ed through the minds of hundreds of
Hamilton unemployed. But what do
we see? A mere handful of men at
work. In fact, one must look closely
to see anyone working. If Hamilton's
new post office is an example of the
benefits the unemployed are to derive
from the federal governments work
relief program, and for which mil
lions and billions of dollars are being
voted by congress, then God help the
unemployed-for they will need it!

SUCCESSOR TO THE HORSE

1t hasn't been SO long, only dozen
years, since the American symbol OF
sin was horse Not just any horse,
to be sure; a particular horse, a big
dappled gray, with great round hips
and bulging shoulders; a horse that
wore handsome harness with shining
brass buckles; a horse whose hoofs
hit the pavement with clop-clop un-
equalled by that of any other horse:
fine well-groomed Percheron horse.
You know the one we mean-the
brewery horse.
1t is gone. The American scene has
been purified by his absence. Homer
Rodeheaver can sing with perfect as
surance, ''The brewers big horses
won't run over me-" No, they won't
run over Homer or anybody else. But
something has taken the place of the
brewers big horses.

hour, failed to make the sharp turn,

WHY JOIN TRADE UNIONS?

Trade unionism is the American
workers only way to economic i'm
provement.
Employers do not voluntarily grant
higher wages or better conditions.
Employers do not grant shorter
hours voluntarily, except as punish
ment in the form of what amounts
to lay-off.
Permanent gain comes through
trade unions.
The trade union movement aims
primarily at immediate Improvement.
But it has larger vision. It's
vision is as far-reaching as the life
of our social order.
Labor contemplates playing a part
In the success of the social order
FOREVER.
The man who joins a union Joins
something more than a mere society.
something grander than a fighting
machine. He takes the only place he
can possibly occupy if he is to have
voice in the shaping of his own
economic and social destiny.

This is a prospect of tremendous
Importance, above all partisan con.
sideration.
There will be tremendous obstacles
in the way.
Some will find their immediate ad-
vantage in the long week and they
will not find it easy to see into the
future.
Industries will balk and sputter
and ponder their ledgers.
The power of persuasion will bring
many to the support of the short
week.
The fear of public condemnation
will force others to the same view.
One great weakness will be shown
at the outset-the weakness of try-
ing to inaugurate a universal pro-
gram without universal organization
What retribution employers have
brought upon themselves by their
blind, stupid and greedy opposition to
the unionization of labor!
They are themselves but poorly

And here is need for complete or
ganization on every hand.
But the battle must continue. The
best must be made of the instruments
at hand

1t is said that perhaps we stand at
the threshold of new economic era.

once reduce the work week to 80

THE REDS AS BANK WRECKERS

HE REDS AS BANk WRECk ERS
However surprising it may be to
the United States Department of
Justice or to some of the apologists
for communism, it is no surprise to
many others that communists have
been found out in a whispering cam
paign to cause bank failures.
If anything about it is surprising
it is that it hasn't come sooner.
Long ago it was clear that the reds
had program of attacking the credit
institutions of the United States, and
there was reason to assume that the
plan also contemplated an attack on
the currency itself through food of
counterfeit money.
There are those who still fail to
understand that communism knows
no responsibility to any code of ethics
known to non-communists. The first
obligation of communist is to wage
war on capitalism and there are no
limits to the method, except that
they must succeed. The only crime is
to fail.
Whispering campaigns against
banks are difficult to trace and hard
to stop. President Frank Lee, of the
Mt. Vernon Savings Bank in Wash
ington, took about the only possible
course when he went into print to
denounce and challenge whisperers.
With sound bank behind him he
felt that the wise thing to do was
to drag the whole campaign of SIAN
der into the open. Results proved
him right.
1t will be surprising if the COM
munists do not attempt other desper-
ate and scurrilous methods of attack
on the present order. They have no
desire to correct it and save it. They
are its avowed foes to the death. And
yet, while they commit their depre-
dations they expect it's protection.

nism is sound sense and real UNDER

BILLION DOLLARS
Buying Power Would Be
Speeded Up Under
N. Y. Plan

New York City (ILNS)-With the
endorsement of President William
Green. of the American Federation Of
Labor, joint committee representing
the New York State Federation Of
Women's Clubs, the New York State
Federation of Labor, Associated In.
dustries and the Associates for Gov
ernment Service has presented to
Gov. Roosevelt resolutions calling
upon the state to place the years
purchasing orders in July, August
and September as a means of speed
ing employment.
Similar requests will be made in
all states.
| The object is to concentrate the
buying and employing power of one
billion dollars so that it's effect may
be felt by the rapid placing of orders
that ordinarily are scattered through
the year.
Place All Orders at Once
"The proposal is" says the resolu-
tion, ''that the various governmental
purchasing agents place orders during
July, August and September to cover
a large part of their essential supplies
requirements for at least six months
to year. The procedure should be
entirely practicable as the proposed
commitments, based on previous re-
quirements, will merely be advanced,
the proposed expenditures are already
included in budgets and appropria-
tions, and the delivery of goods to be
contracted for can easily be arranged
to coincide with the consuming re-
quirements of state, county and city
institutions and agencies.
Zone billion dollars of tax monies
become available to state, county and
city governments throughout the
United States on July l, to meet the
annual or biennial supplies require
ments of the inmates of public insti-
| tutions and for departmental require
| ments exclusive of salaries, contract
work, new equipment and construction
and exclusive of federal requirements.
A. F of L'Supports Plan
"The American Federation of La
| Dor and the National Association of
Manufacturers have joined with the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
in approving the proposal made by
| the Associates for Government Serv-
ice, Incorporated, that governmental
| purchasing agencies in every state
be urged to expedite their placing of
orders. Thus, without extravaganza,
and in all probability with resultant
economy, a constructive step of this
kind may lead the way to general i'm
provement in business morale"

the resolution are:

mems Clubs-Mrs. Edward Cameron,

cept that his tax bill has been con
siderably increased. The city was il
the red to him $776 before; now i
owes him less because it has jumped
up the amount on its own side of the
ledger
The occurrence is of interest only
in showing what mess a city car
let it's tangled affairs get into. This
employe has been 25 years with the
city. He ought to pay his tax asses
ment. Certainly he expects his wages
from the city to give him the means
to pay it. But the city which has
starved it's teachers and wasted its
funds and is now hat in hand at the
federal treasury, does not accept its
side of the responsibility.
A Chicago newspaper, attempting
to put bold front on the stupendous
demand of Illinois for federal aid
calls about half the states in the
union "mendicants," expert go-get-
ters," "chiselers" and "sharpers."
It's particular peeve is the fact that
some states have paid more income
than others. 1t wanted all the money
from Chicago's income kept in Hill
nois, where more would be sunk as
so many millions have been. But not
word about the grating of what
was retained.
Let that pass. A newspaper that
spreads good will and cooperation by
fiinging about the word "chiseler"
gets it's answer in its own acts. But
we should like to know what the
humble municipal employe thinks of
the home town boys-the employe
who was sold out because the city
did not pay him his wages.-Ex.

half the alertness against the propa-
ganda of communism that there is in

The jury received the case at

Miss Schmerler had a perfect
