made known, the international Fed
GRAFTON of Trade Unions again appeals
to its national centers, pointing out
that the time has come for the work
ers of the world to implement their
decisions and to show that, as far as
lies within their power, they will
leave nothing undone in the support
of measures which, if strictly applied,
are bound to mean the end of the war.
Government Action Vital
Everything now depends on whether
the governments treat their decisions
with a "scrupulous respect" for if
they do not, the world is not likely to
give them third chance to cheat it,
and an inexorable reality will get
them by the throat. The governments
which have signified their adherence
to the sanctions must bear the re-
sponsibility if the crumbling ethics
of this world fall to pieces altogether
and the world itself be delivered into
the hands of horde of irresponsible
adventures.

Group Life Insurance

The F. w. Woolworth Company, OPP
orator of a chain Of five and ten cent
stores throughout the United States
and Canada, announces the extension
of its group life insurance phan to
include all employees with one year Of
service. Company statisticians said
the new plan would affect about 10000
employees. The cost is shared by the
company and the employees.
Group life insurance is one of the
many devices developed by anti-union
employers to reduce the independence
of their employees and chain them to
their jobs. Subversive employers be
lieve that resistance to low wages
and long hours viii be largely pre-
vented if the resistance is accompan-
led BY the loss Of some element Of
security for those who are dependent
upon the workers for living Group
life insurance is one of these schemes
to prevent group action for higher
living standards by working men and
women

CONTROL
OF Munitions Taken By
Government
By A. F. of L. News Service.

An important step toward the pre-
vention of war was taken on No
vember 30 when the law passed by the
recent session of congress placing the
manufacture and export of arms and
munitions directly under the control
of the federal government became eff
fective
From that date manufacturers of
these war supplies are compelled to
register with the state department if
they care to continue in business.
Moreover, if they desire to export
arms, ammunition or war implements
they are required to secure a permit
from the state department, with the
provision that export licenses may be
refused when an embargo proclama-
/ ton, like the one the president re-
Gently issued regarding the shipment
of munitions to Italy or Ethiopia, is
issued.
Munitions manufacturers are re-
quired to pay $500 for registration.
Penalties to obtain export licenses in
wolves as high as $4,000.
A structural weakness of the muni-
tions control plan is the fact that it
does not apply until an embargo has
been declared Nevertheless, it enables
the government to watch closely the
manufacture and shipment of arms.
1t is believed the war inclinations of
many nations will be curbed when they
know they cannot buy munitions in the
United States.

U. S. COURT
Hits Prison Goods Act

Nashville, Tenn. (ILNS)- Federal
Judge John ]. Gore has issued an in
terlocutory injunction ordering the
Louisville & Nashville, the Nashville,
Chattanooga & ST. Louis and the Ten
nessee Central railroads to accept
prison made shirts for interstate
transportation.
The writ was issued in case at
tacking the constitutionality of the
Ashurst-Summers act, authorizing
states having laws against the sale
of prison-made goods on the open
market to prohibit shipment into their
borders Of such goods.
The injunction was sought by the
Huflines Shirt Co, of Nashville.
Judge Gore allowed the injunction,
taking the challenge of the acts con-
stiutionality under advisement and
requiring the shirt company to post
a bond of $1,000 in each of the three
cases.
Charles |. Dawson, recently re-
signed federal Judge of Louisville,
KY, chief counsel for the Huffines
Co, charged the act is unconstitu-
tional.

Benefits Of Merit System To Be
Stressed in Civil Service Week

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-Na-
tional Civil Service Week will be OBJ
served during the week of January
II to Is, 1886, making the 53rd an
niversary of the enactment of the
national civil service act, on Janu-
ary Is, 1888
The first general recognition of
National Civil Service Week occurred
in January of this year, following a
suggestion by Harry Kranze, man
ager of the Twelfth civil service dis
trict, San Francisco, to President E.
Claude Babcock, of the American
Federation of Government Employees,
of which organization Mr.. Kranze is
member. The federation obtained
the cooperation of the civil service
commission, the National Civil Serv-
ice Reform League and other groups
interested in the civil service, and in
spite of the relatively short time af-
forded for preparation, the week was
observed on a national scale.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1935-12-13

The purpose of marking the ami
versary is to bring to the attention
of the American people, through the
schools, the press and other media,
the value of the civil service and the
merit system. Last year, in addresses
and statements, public officials and
friends generally of the merit system,
contrasted the old program of political
spoils with that of the present admin
istration of the government service
by employees qualified for their work
and holding their positions on merit.
Detailed plans for the coming OBJ
servance will be announced as soon
as they are complete. Already it is
evident that many organizations, both
national and local, will participate in
the event, and the exact scope of this
participation will be made known
shortly, it was said at the headquar-
ters of the American Federation of
Government Employees here.

ULTIMATE VICTORY
Seen For Principles of NRA

New Orleans (ILNS)-The princi-
Piles behind NRA and the Blue Eagle,
outlawed by the United States SUI
preme Court, were upheld by the Rev
Charles C. Champman, Sd, professor
of money and banking, at Loyola Uni
versity.
f'The principles behind the NRA
will ultimately come back and be put
into effect by the United States" Fa-
ther Champman declared.
He said that the trouble with the
NRA was not it's object, but the fact
that the federal government through
NRA had attempted to do too much
in a few months, to make great
change suddenly instead of gradu-
ally. The principles of NRA, he
added, had not been set out first by
President Roosevelt or his New Deal
brain trusters, but by industrialists
in 1919. The NRA failed because the
New Deal and its brain trusters at
tempted to put these principles into
effect too abruptly.
All of the 100000 unemployed
will never be taken back into the or
dinary industrial employment of the
country, according to Father Champ
man and consequently, the only solu-
tion of the problem presented by
them is the continuation of huge pub
lie works projects upon which they
would be employed and that would
store up wealth for the country. The
present administrations chief fault
has been that its PWA program did
not have the requisite score to sue
ceed as its proponents hoped, he said

have public regulation of hours and
wages and control of working condi-
tions. Florida, Iowa and West Vir-
ginia require employers to furnish
seats for women workers. Other
states range between these two ex-
tremes.
The bulletin states farther that:
Industrial workers have higher sick
and death rates than the rest of the
population.
More than one-eighth of all work
ers lose week or more from illness
during the year.
There were 1,25O,ooO industrial ac-
cidents in this country in 1888, and
they cost not less than half a billion
dollars.

Burlington Engine Workers
Vote Strongly for Walkout
By A. F. of L. News Service.


Chicago (ILNS)- More than 1,700
engineers and firemen of the Chicago,
Burlington 4 Quincy railroad voted to
strike if the railroad did not place two
men instead of one in the cabs of their
stream-lined trains and electric
switch engines, it was announced here
Result of the strike poll taken by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen were announced by j.
P. Farrell, president of the organ
iZation
More than the required two-thirds
majority of the voters approved the
strike, Farrell said.
The way was left open for further
negotiations with the company. The
vote indicated, however, that the Bur-
lington fremen and engineers stand
behind the position taken by their
officials.
A statement issued by Farrell said:
"A favorable vote very largely in
excess of the required two-thirds ma
jority to call strike has been au-
thorized. In communication just for
warded to the management of the COM
pany advice has been given regarding
the result of the vote taken, and also
an expression of our own willingness
to again confer with representatives
of the company for the purpose of
negotiating a satisfactory settlement
of the involved dispute"

Paper Fired Union Men

Newark, N. j. (ILNS)-An arbi-

employees dismissed by the Newark
Ledger in November, 1884, were dis
charged because of afhhation with

General Secretary of the international
Federation Of Trade Unions
By w. SCHEVENELs

1SiiSi al oSIiCldIy VI GilS lIl6IHdLlOtldt
Federation Of Trade Unions
Paris.-November Il, 1918, inaug-
urated the period of the great reck-
oning and the test of all the fine prom
ises with which the governments had
kept their people in the hell of the
trenches for four years. War was to
be abolished in the only effective way
by making it impossible for any ag-
gressor to take the offensive.
The basis for this was quite rightly
recognized to be the sacredness Of
the given word, the principle which
can alone make the life Of the in
dividual as of the peoples worthy of
mankind and can assure that collab-
Grafton which is greater than the
mutual desire to annihilate and de-
stroy.
As the peace treaty states so re-
soundingly, there should be the mu-
tual acceptance of obligations" and
"open, just and honorable relations
between nations" "The understand
ings of international law" shall fur
ther be established as "the actual rule
of conduct among governments" and
all the signatories shall moreover OBJ
serve "a scrupulous respect for all
treaty obligations in the dealings of
organized peoples with one another.
The fact that we stand today
before the terrible possibility of
another world war is mainly due
to the breaking of treaties, the
secret diplomacy, and the viola
tion of international law, Of JUS
tice and honor which has filled
out the years since 1918.
In view of the danger of fresh
world carnage, the governments
have once again pulled themselves
together to accept certain ohliga-
tions." Now it has been determined
in Geneva down to the last detail
how a check is to be put on a
covenant breaking state. On Novem-
Der Is the provisions laid down
against the aggressor were put into
effect. Once again the agreements
which have been concluded have to
go through the ordeal by fire.
Workers Back League
The workers are not shirking their
part of the responsibility. They have
placed all their force behind the
league, because there exists at the
moment no more effective instrument.
The organized workers have done this,
although they are suffering from no
illusions as to the present compost
tion of the league, and although this
has brought down on them the charge
of "fomenting war" from those who
at every other time incite the peo-
pies to war and regard the sword as
law.
Now that various international con-
ferences have gone into all the details
of the action, and the method and
scope of the sanctions have been

For many years Homerville had
been controlled by an arrogant po-

was a bald-headed dictator whose
neck hung over his collar both in front
and rear and whose nose came down
like a scabbard and whose chin re-

a man who preached loyalty above

StiCkerWig, a big man with big

"This is Just the chance those guys
were looking for"
Yah, it looks like they're really

a political henchman, who was a
member of the School Board.
But they can't do nothing, they
can't. I got an idea, and besides
who they got to put up against me?

Mayor Stickerwig made face.
They might have some guy up
their sleeve" said the member of the
School Board. They might just be
holding back to pull fast one at
the last minute"
And what's your idea?" The
School Board member looked with
surprise. The mayor continued:
"All we got to do is arouse popular
sentiment, like the boss used to do,
and they amt got a chance. Now
what we need is something new. You
know this actress, Bunny Dimples,

BUNNY DIMPLES came to Homer
vile and, naturally, the town
was all excited. 1t was the first time
a great emotional star of the cinema
had ever trod the unpaved streets Of
the village. Bringing her to town was
a beautiful piece of strategy on the
part of Mayor Stickerwig. 1t was
worthy of the best traditions of his
political machine.
"It will be in the bucket after to-
night" boasted the mayor.
"They sure pulled fast one on
us this time" said GuStavus from the
other side Of the town.
And it looked as though both the
mayor and Gustavus were right.
Everybody in bonneville, including
Dwight Doolittle, turned out and came
to the theater to see Bunny Dimples
in the tantaliZing flesh and blood.
Dwight came into the theater in
his usual meek manner, and found a
seat somewhere In the middle. On
the stage sat Bunny. In her arm
she held a fluffy Pomeranian. The
dog yapped, and Bunny smiled. SO
did Mayor Stickerwig, who sat next
to her. So did the member of the
SchooI board who sat next to the
mayor. But Gustavus, surrounded by
his henchmen, snarled.
lust as Bunny was introduced and
got up to sing, fire broke out,
flashing and roaring Everybody saw
the mayor give Bunny such a push
he knocked the Pomeranian right out
OF her arms. While the great emo
tional actress squeaked for her dog,
she was pushed headlong with every
body else to the exits.
Dwight Doolittle got unsteadily to
his feet, having been knocked down
several times. Flames were all about
him. He stumbled forward saw the
Pomeranian jumping around his heels,
picked it up and stumbled out with it.
MY hero!" shrieked Bunny as
Dwight emerged from the flames.
She threw her arms around him,
gave him a kiss, and took her POM
eranian.
The people Of bonneville never
forgot that scene. For Gustavus saw
his opportunity in a flash and put
Dwight up for mayor, q hero who
would lead the people out of the flames
Of corruption.
And Dwight Doolittle was elected
mayor of Homerville.
