Major B. G. Dunn, dis
trict engineer of the war de-
partment, took no cognizance
Of a letter from George
j. Rosenthal, presented at
the hearing on the proposed
overseas bridges, held in the
courthouse in Miami yester-
day.
Mr.. Rosenthal contends that he
has a franchise granted by the
board of county commissioners.
The Overseas Bridge Corporation
presented a decision by the state
road department which recently
refused to cancel the franchise Of
the corporation.
Mr.. Rosenthal asked the engi-
neer that no approval be given to
the project of the Overseas Bridge
Corporation, basing his plea on his
alleged franchise.
Major Dunn said that the hear
ing was for no other purpose than
to listen to objections based on
the possibilities that the construc-
ton of the highway and bridges
would interfere with, or be a men,
ace TO, navigation.
Monroe county was represented
at the hearing by William ". Al
bury, attorney for the board Of
county commissioners, and also
member of the state legislature.

PLUMBERS REPORT
STRIKE PROGRESS

Plumbers Local Union No. 1O8
delegates reported to Trades Council
Tuesday evening fine progress in
their strike against the plumbing
contractors. They reported number
of their men still out, but that they
have signed satisfactory agreements
with the following master plumbers:
S. R. McGill, Donald Metzler, VIM. C.
Shafer, The Walker Co., A. Shuler
& Son, Martin F. Arnold and C. F.
Pawlowsky These firms are all en-
titled to the patronage of organized
labor and friends.
Plumbers local asks that union
members don't permit any plumber
to do work for them unless able to
first show paid-up membership
card of the union.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1932-07-29

being endangered through any undue
liberality either on the part of the
courts or the industrial commission.
Neither courts, juries nor the indus
trial commission are any more lib
eral today in workmen's compensa-
ton cases than they were in former
years. Most of this so-called abuse of
the fund is fabricated by statesmen
and used by them in their efforts to
impress upon employers the need of
retaining workmen's compensation
service companies to handle their
risks.
The proof of the solvency of the
Ohio state insurance fund is clearly
demonstrated by the statement and
figures of the actuary of the indus
trial commission of Ohio.
In conclusion, it should always be
borne in mind that the Ohio plan of
workmen's compensation is nom
profit-making, the state pays for the
cost of its administration, and pre-
MUM rates charged employers are
computed on the basis of securing
enough money to pay workmen's
compensation for the disability and
deaths resulting from industrial acci-
dents.

THORNTON QUITS;
FRIEND OF LABOR

Ottawa (ILNS)-Sir Henry Thorn
ton, friend of labor, has resigned as
president of the Canadian National
Railways. Report of his impending
retirement was published in ILNS
dispatches two weeks ago.
Sir Henry Thornton was known for
his development of labor management
cooperative relations, the Canadian
National and the Baltimore & Ohio
having furnished the two outstanding
examples of pioneer work in this di-
rection.
The veteran president said he felt
it imperative that he have practic-
ally unanimous support to make sue
cess possible on a government
road and this, he said, he felt he did
not have.
