SOME THINGS TO DO

What is the present business de-
cline going to do to me and my job !?
Trade unionists all over the nation
must be asking this question and many
are perhaps wondering if they can do
anything about the situation.
Well, there may be little the individ-
ual worker can do about righting the
economic system during a depression
but there ARE some things he CAN
do to protect his own interests and the
interests of his fellow workers.
Just now, organized workers can
insist on peace in the labor move
ment. to the end that it once more
becomes unified force, far better
equipped to cope with dangers Of
"hard times than if divided into
warring camps.
Another thing trade unionists can
do is give every possible help to the
Strengthening of their own organiza
tion. They can also support legisla-
tive programs and policies aiming at
fairer sharing Of the nations wealth
and increase in national purchasing
power.
They can buy union label goods and
services, thus assuring fellow union
workers of good wages and good work.
ing conditions. Wage earners cannot
be blamed for going slow on buying
when the economic skies seem dark
But they have to make certain pur
chases and all who have jobs will Dc
some Christmas buying. If they de
mand the union label on everything
they get, they will be helping to keel
up purchasing power and hour AM
working standards.
These things trade unionists Can
do to fight depression and they an
all worthwhile.

THE MERCHANTS BAR

One of the outstanding lunch and
eating places in the uptown bowl, is
chat new Merchants, Bar located
at 207 Court street, just few doors
beyond Second street.
The place is entirely new in every
detail and all who have visited the
Merchants Bar so far, agree that it
is neat and up-to-date now in every
respect.
"Bill'' Stillwaugh, the proprietor,
has left nothing undone to give the
center of Hamilton real place to
quench the thirst and to satisfy par
ticular people who like something
good in the way of eats.
Three of the community's leading
bartenders are in evidence and at your
service at all times. They are such
fellows as George Renners, Jr., VIM
Cahil and Ed. Manning. All three
are capable of serving any kind Of
drink desired.
Those who have given the kitchen
some investigation, say it is fully
equipped to sarve the public and
without the slightest delay. The
same is under the supervision of Mrs.
Elizabeth Metzler, who was formerly
employed in some of Hamilton's fore
most eating places. Beginning with a
turkey dinner lunch Wednesday, a
dinner lunch will be served each day
and at popular prices.
It is worthwhile mentioning that
everything connected with fixtures and
the workmanship of the new Mer-
chants Bar has been made possible
by union labor throughout Give the
place the once over and you will also
agree with the many who have already
visited the new establishment, that il
is a complete uptown meeting, greet.

MARYLAND SUITS
BOTH ASK 1895

Two suits, each asking judgment
of $2,995 against the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, were filed
Monday in common pleas court as a
result Of a crossing accident in Mid
dletown.
One of the suits was brought by
Mrs Nancy Markland, Middletown,
who was injured in the accident, and
the other by her husband, Arthur
Markland.
Mrs MARYLAND alleges she was per-
manently injured April IA, 1887, when
her automobile was struck at the
Grand avenue crossing by freight
engine

1t is through labor unions that col
lective bargaining wages, shorter
hours and better conditions have been
established even in the remotest vii
lage of our nation. These high labor
standards are enjoyed by the unor-
ganized workers as well as those who
have joined labor unions. In fact, if It
had not been for this organized effort
of the American labor movement tc
obtain higher wages and better stand
ards of living, many of the unorgan-
lied workers would still be working
from sunrise to sundown at less thar
dollar a day.-I. NJ. Ornburn.

100000 Christmas seals were mailed

This fact was made known last
week when field examiners for the
commission reported finding number
of small employers in doubt as to
their liability for contributions to the
unemployment compensation fund.
The Ohio law states that An en-
ployer subject to this act within any
calendar year is subject to the act for
the whole of the calendar year"
Employers Of three or more per-
sons are liable under the Ohio act,
but many employers of one OF two
persons are making voluntary contrl-
buttons to the fund for the protec-
ton of their employees, according to
w. T. Roberts, labor member OF the
commission.

SHORTS

Union seamen are making an offer
to congress to serve as policemen, IN
compelling shipping companies to
keep the law, as we'll as to treat their
sailors as human beings. That is a
rather new role for the unions; al
though we remember that the textile
workers functioned in somewhat that
way during the NRA.

David Coyle says that the low birth
rate of educated families in America,
and the relatively higher birth rate
among those of less opportunity and
culture, is lowering the intelligence
quotient of the American people by
about one point in a generation,
With that, and our top soils washed
off into the ocean, America will be
easy meat for the Orientals in a few
generations.
On the other hand, it is now re
ported that we don't need land fol
farming. The only requisites are
some watts or trenches, to hold water
containing fertilizers, with steel mesf
to hold the plants up. Farming viii

when that comes true.

WHAT NEXT?

The worlds biggest diesel-electrie
passenger locomotive, recently deliv-
cred to the Union Pacific railroad for
use between Chicago and Los Angeles,
will go into regular service the latter
part Of December. The locomotive is
made up of three cars, each of which
has two 90o-horsepower engines, and

Woollcott, the town crier of the radio,
who has donated radio tolk on the
Christmas seal sale, recordings of
which will be heard throughout the
land between Thanksgiving and

SWv Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundIy, sometimes Hippantly,
sometimes recklessly. ...

Congress meeting again. Special
session this time
Members didn't like it any too well,
having to come back to Washington
before January, but they are trying
to look cheerful. Hard work for some
of them.
Lots of things before the session
wage and hour legislation, crop con-
troll, tax revision, reorganization of
executive branches of the government |
and establishment of regional Twas.
The president mentioned all in his |
message.
Other things on schedule, though
not mentioned in presidents message.
Among the other things are anti
lynching legislation and discussion of
neutrality and keep-out- of war plans,
promising lots Of talk and maybe
plenty of fireworks.
At the last session, the house passed
an anti-lynching bill. Now it comes
before the senate
The bill makes lynching a federal
crime. Organized labor has endorsed
similar legislation.
The bill is called controversial, !"
meaning it is full of possibilities for
row. Trouble started when the SEN
ate met, with what amounted to fill
buster against the bill
The chances were good for passage.
Another controversial matter is
neutrality.
Determined groups in house and
senate will fight for enforcement of
the neutrality act.
The act is not being enforced in the
Chinese-Japanese war.
Ground for this is that war has
not been declared. Friends Of the neu-
trality act say this is childish pretext
and ask, If the fight between China and
Japan is not war, what is war, any
way?
Administration thinks it is follow
ing best and wisest course in not en-
forcing the act.
Lively clash between administration
defenders and groups who want the
act enforced are in prospect.
Anti-lynching legislation and neu-
trality discussion may be two things
that will consume much time and tie
up other legislation.
/ Wage and hour legislation,for ex-
ample.
Labor is interested in that.
Unfortunately, labor is not sure
what it wants in the way of a wage
and hour law.
! Unfortunately,als labor is divided
into two camps and may not be able
to agree on supporting any particular
bill.
All this does not make for quick
passage Of hour and wage legislation
Looming over the whole congress
sional picture is the current indus
trial slump, or recession as it is
called.
/ Whatever the name, it is bad bust
ness.
h 1t means more unemployment, more
suffering, more grief.
The presidents message showed he
is acutely aware Of the danger in
the recession"
Congress senses the danger, too.
All the more reason for congress
: to get down to business without delay
! And do its best to pass Legislation
, that will help to combat the slump
and in the words Of the president:
Maintain wage income and the pur.
chasing power of the nation against
recessive factors in the general indus.
