LABOR EDITOR
PASSES AWAY

Nashville, Tenn. (ILNS)-Albert
E. Hill, founder and for al years edi-
tor and publisher of the Labor Advo-
cate, former speaker of the state SEN

of Education, and one of the out
standing labor leaders of the South,

finally eliminated in fatal heart at

Mr.. Hill, who was born in Nash

organization of the Tennessee Feder-

the federation several terms. He

LABOR ABHORS COMMUNISM

Friends of communism and the
plain fools who fall for anything and
everything are getting busy and a
new campaign for recognition of the
soviet regime in Russia is under way.
There is reason to believe that even
in the labor movement there are some
new dupes.
In its Cincinnati convention the
American Federation of Labor declar-
ed in language stronger than ever its
opposition to recognition of the So
viets and it's adherence of all things
communist.
American labor stands only to lose
by recognition of the soviets.
Recognition means not only a vio-
lation of American principle, but a
very practical advantage to the rev.
olutionists through the permission it
would give them to establish official
propaganda and plotting agencies, in
the form Of consulates, throughout
the country.
Communism is at war with democ-
racy, and no good reason has yet
been advanced fo rgiving this war
ring outfit and added advantage over
American democracy.
If the intellectuals and the tea
table economists cannot see this, il
may be because they are not in the
first line trenches. That's where la
Dor is.

WHY NOT7


Some advocates Of horse racing in
Ohio have suggested the legalizing of
betting at county fairs.
Many county fairs in the state lose
money every year, and it was said
that this would not only put dollars
into the fair boards treasury, but
would stimulate bigger and better
fairs.
Thousands of people motor to
other states during the racing season,
and thousands of dollars are bet on
their favorite horses.
WHY NOT KEEP THIS MONEY
IN OHIO?
Now comes a bitter protest from
practically the same people that have
persistently shouted for the 18th
amendment.
The dawn of another day is not far
away when Ohio, like other states,
will see legalized horse racing.-The
GAINESVILLE Tribune.
And to the above the Press would
also add its "Why not?" As the Trib-
une well says, "Why not keep this
money in Ohio?" Why send it away?
Many of the states county fairs are
running in the hole" year after year
and some of them are quitting
lack of funds. This could be over
come to an extent by the legalizing
of betting on the horse races and
permitting the "boys" their little
fling. There are few, however, who
would rather see no fair at all than
to have it conducted through race bet
ting and what they call gambling" !"
hoITipie, IcEIiuie-"Hy, IHS eHooene
of it, it will bring all the gangsters
and thieves in the country to our
fair" they cry. When the truth of it
is, the Press believes, betting on the
races at our county fair wouldn't at
tract the "big shots" the alarmists
speak of any more than would ping
pong or hand ball at Sunday school
picnic. So why not start something
at our county fairs, put some life into
them, make 'em bigger and better
than ever, by letting the boys put
their dimes down and "wAtch 'em

THEY WANT WHISKEY

Public dissatisfaction with prohi-
bition is too great to be removed by
the mere legalization of light wines
and beer, says Prof Samuel Williston,
of Harvard University law school, one
of Amerca's greatest authorities on
law, who is in Cincinnati for series
of lectures before the Cincinnati Law
Institute.
"It is obvious that the people want
gin and whiskey," he says.
Yes, and that demand furnishes a
damning indictment Of prohibition.
For prohibition weaned the public
away from the less potable, but more
bulky and more difficult to obtain
wines and beers, and led many to ac-
quire an appetite for the easily OBJ
tainable fiery liquors.
Before prohibition reversed the
process, beer was slowly, but surely,
displacing the hard liquors. In ear
lier days Americans were almost ex-
clusively a whisky-drinking people.
Wine never was a very popular drink.
Beer gained its first real hold on the
American appetite following the food
of immigration that came with the
failure of the German Revolution of
1848.
Beer aided the temperance move
ment in reducing drunkenness. Public
opinion began to frown on overindul-
gence and in time even the drinking
of beer was barred voluntarily by
many communities through adoption
of local option by majority vote. This
was very different from national pro-
hibition which tried to force total abb
stinence upon communities which did
not want it.
With the advent Of prohibition,
thousands who seldom or never had
tasted hard liquor, took to gin and
whiskey because they could not get
good beer. Other thousands drank
the hard stuff because it was socially
smart to do so. And a generation of
hard liquor drinkers has grown up.
No wonder there is demand for gin
and whiskey with the overthrow of
prohibition. And in that state Of the
public mind it will be a mistake to
attempt to bar liquor. The bootleg
gers would still be with US.
The only thing to do is to go back
and start all over again on the pain
full climb to real temperance. The
goal will be reached through educa-
cation and the example of sane lead
ers who recognize that human beings
can be led, but never driven, to curb
their appetites.-Cincinnati Post.

HERE COME MORE MACHINES

In response to a national campaign
for renewal of industrial equipment,
American industries have pledged
themselves to install new machinery
worth about $l00,000,O00.
That will be good news for machin-
lists and others engaged in the manu-
facture of manufacturers goods.
They will make that new and ultra
modern machinery and then that same
machinery will begin to serve man.
kind by turning out consumer goods
faster than ever and perhaps better
than ever.
All of this is to the good. UNLESS
we go on at low wages and at hours
that are too long, piling up once more
enormous piles Of goods that the
lacking money, cannot buy.

Irish Railway Workers
Strike Against Wage Cut

Belfast, Northern Ireland. - The
employees on the railways of North
ern Ireland and on the whole Great
Northern Railways of Ireland, which
is partly in the Irish Free State and
partly in Northern Ireland, struck
against wage reduction decreed by
the Irish Railway Wages Board. In
addition to paralyzing railway service.
the strike caused the railway Off
cials to suspend operation of their
busses. More than 5000 workers were
involved in the controversy.

" where with ssr
roo Little natchet
We tell the truth
about many things. Sometimes pre-
feundly, sometimes nippantly.
sometimes recklessly. -.

Perhaps an example of what is in
the American mind, or growing part
of it came out of Iowa when those
eight hundred farmers banded to-
gether and stopped sheriff's sale of
a mortgaged farm for less than the
face of the mortgage.
With the ballot in their hands, the
American people gave Norman Thom-
as fewer votes than they gave Eu-
gene v. Debs in a year not nearly
so made to order for the socialist
dogma as was 1882.
There was very little voting done
for Thomas and probably there was
less of it done among those 800 Iowa
farmers than in some other groups.
Now the point to this, if there is
a point, is that the American people
are not looking for a new system;
they want to make this one work.
There has been plenty of talk of
new systems in these past months.
The charms of every known kind of
system have been on parade.
The American people know about
socialism, they know about commu-
nism, they know about fascism. They
even know quite bit about tech
nocracy, the latest fad among social
and economic adventurers.
1t seems fair inference, looking
at the recent past and the long past
in America, that the people will not
vote to adopt new system, but they
will go get their pitchforks and raise
hell to stop abuses under the present
system.
Beyond doubt big things are going
to happen. 1t is visibly apparent that
there is stirring among men; a new
kind of feeling; new determination;
a demand that cannot go unheaded
But it isn't for new system; not
by long shot.
Mr.. Mussolini may read another
chapter of Nietsche, or another page
of Machiavelli, but the New England
er will whittle another stick, think
meanwhile straight through to the
point and keep his hat on at the
proper angle for the defense of free
dom.
Mr.. Stain may ask his secret police
for their latest reports, but our mid.
west will take look for the crooks,
finally get them out of the road and
then go about their business.
America seems all set to deal ter
, rible blows to crooks and exploiters.
but it isn't going to go goofy in the
process.
The well known Roxy puts thou
sand actors on the stage of Mr.. Rookie
feller's enormous Radio City stage
and nobody goes wild about it. Folks
are thinking of other things -
THINKING, at last.
Folks are thinking, not just dream
ing. When people think, then abuse
had better scamper out the window,
or it will get kicked out
Politicians had better take notice.
Banks, paying 100 and 200 per cent
dividends, had better take notice. In
dustrialists, hanging onto enormous
surplusses while idle men tramp the
streets, had better take notice.
Great days are ahead for America,
for Americans, born to freedom, are
thinking their way to the preserva-
ton and the ENLARGEMENT of that
precious heritage. They are not going
nutty-they are GOING STRAIGHT.

Starting on this road to moderni-
zation, why not modernize all the
way, by adjusting the wages and
hours to fit the output, so that there
may be joy and sense of real Sc

Can anybody say why this should
not be done?

THE JOURNAL-NEWS

After sailing along on its own for
more than fifty years, doing splendid
work for the community it served al
during its more than half century OF
existence, the Hamilton Daily News
decided it wanted help and so merged
with the Hamilton Evening Journal
The two newspapers, in double har-
ness, came forth on Monday of this
week in their first issue under the
heading of the Hamilton Journal
Daily News, and henceforth will be
known as the Journal-News.
The question is asked and heard,
Cant Hamilton support two news
papers ?" The answer to that is to be
found in the action of the News quit
ting. If the News had been given
proper support it certainly would
have continued publication 1t does
seem little bit passing strange that
Hamilton, when not much more than
village in population supported two
newspapers, and all through the years
of half century continued doing so
until now, with more than fifty thou
sand population, one of these two
papers must quit for lack of that
support given in years past when
there were fewer to give it.
In fact, it will be remembered by
the older citizens, Hamilton, back in
the 1900's, for a number of years
supported three live dailies. The
other being the Hamilton Daily
Sun, which was edited by Sloane Cor
don, who later became nationally
known for his writings in popular
magazines.
Yet the action of the News is but
following the trend of the times.
From every part of the country comes
word of the merging of newspapers.
Publishers seem to be learning from
those whom they publicize, bankers,
brokers, industrialists, ETC., in the
matter of merging, combining, form
ing trusts and cutting down on big
overhead, and are taking a hand in
the game of, not making little ones
out Of big ones, as we use to say,
but Of making big one out of little
ones.
The News, recently, has been i'm
proving fast as a real newspaper, and
especially is this true under its last
management, which was of short du-
ration, and had break for the better
in general business came along, the
News, no doubt, would have continu-
ned with US many years to come. Its
passing is to be regretted. It's staff
from top sergeant to devil in the
composing room, was made up of a
bunch of good fellows, men and wom-
en-, and to these the Press extends
regret and sorrow for the loss of
their jobs at this time, a time when
jobs indeed are scarce and hard to
find, and it sincerely hopes they will
be able to Eight" and very soon,
at something equally as good as they
had, if not better.
And to the new combined newspa-
pers, the Journal-News, the Press ex-
tends every good wish for a better,
q larger, q more prosperous news
paper-one that will always stand for
The betterment of the interest and
good welfare of all Hamilton and But
