Ohio's Best Show
EVERYTHING READY
Committee Promises You
All the Coffee You
Core To Drink

Aunt Minnie out in Paden City
is all set for this, the 14th an
nual renewal of the potters outing.
Things are certainly looking up for
the big "Buy American Picnic to be
staged at Idora Park, Youngstown,
Saturday, June II.
Aunt Minnie, lover of the terrific,
terrifying Wildcat, wires in that she
has her best calico with the little lace
trimming all starched, pressed and
ready for the time of her life. Being
q thrifty soul, she has taken the paint
ed eggs left over from Easter, and
has started preparing her potato sal
ad, perennial favorite Of picnic goers
from coast to coast. All she is wor-
ried about is the state Of the coffee.
She reports it was so good at last
years outing, she was plagued all win
ter trying to brew herself some of
equal quality. She says it better be
just as good and just as plentiful this
year or she is going to have a COM
plant. A just one, too, we'd say, be-
cause the committee has promised all
the free coffee you can drink and it
goes without So. ng, it will be good.
Mothers shoul1 be looking to their
cherubs cause the greatest baby show
in the state will be one of the first
events on the all-day program. Bob
Garner of Local 131 was heard to say
that it was going to be cinch this
year for the nurses to decide, but he
was reckoning without hearing from
all precincts.
The bathing beauty and tap dancing
contests are other favorites that you
will not want to miss even though

shape for the potters and their friends.
The free parking lots have been en-
larged, the eating pavilion has been
newly decorated and is as clean as
the proverbial pin, rest rooms are
plentiful, shade is everywhere and
you are promised beautiful day. The
weatherman would be afraid to predict
anything but a perfect day with the
reputation the picnic has enjoyed.
The Packard in the diamond is still
drawing crowds daily. She certainly

List Of Unemployed
Now Numbers Over
11.000.0 900 Workers
More Than Two Million Are
Deprived Of Jobs In
Past IL Months
AL SURVEY SHOWS
Trade Union Figures Give
A Slight Upturn For
Month Of April

Washington, D. C.-The continued
tragic growth of the unemployed army
in the United States is trenchantly
pictured by the American Federation
OF Labor's current unemployment re-
port, which reveals that over eleven
million working men and women, able
and willing to produce commodities
and perform services, were unemploy-
ed in March, the number in this help
less body of able bodied workers, job
less through no fault Of their own,
having increased 2,055,000 since
March, 1887.
The one hopeful note in the report
was the slight check in the increase
of the jobless indicated by figures for
the first part of April.
Although this picture of unemploy-
ment presented by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor is admittedly a
gloomy" one it is frightened a little
by the fact that the continuance of
many wage levels established last
year are helping to maintain business.
"Unless this buying power is cut
away by further unemployment or
wage reductions" the A. F. of L. said,
''it is bound in the end to restore
productive activity"
Text of Report
Following is the text of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor's report on
unemployment:
'Trade union f rures show a slight
upturn in employment il apl.,. The
per cent of union members unemp'oy-
ed declined from 17.2 per cent n
March to 1877 per cent in the early
part Of April iweigsted fguresl This
Improvement brings the figure almost
back to the level of February when
1876 per cent were unemployed. Last
year in April only 9.S per cent of the
membership were unemployed.
"In March this year, unemployment
was still increasing. Trade union fig
ures for early April show the first
check in the tide of new unemploy-
ment which has risen steadily since
last September.
"Our estimate of unemployment in
the United States indicates that the
increase in unemployment in March
meant loss of jobs for 100000 per-
sons. Unemployment rose from H.
$4,000 in February to 11,232,000 in
March.
March Increase Analysed
"This March increase is unusual ex-
cept in depression years for the
spring busy season usually creates
several hundred thousand jobs.
"In March last year more than AGO.

Council of the American Federation
of Labor, in session here, issued an
International Charter to the Prog
ressive Mine Workers of America
with jurisdiction extending to the en-
tire coal industry "on the American
Continent" including mines, coal
washers, processing plants and coke
ovens.
At it's Winter meeting in Miami,
Florida, last February, the Executive
Council revoked the charter of the
United Mine Workers of America, one
of the rebel unions which formed the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton in 1885, following the overwhelm-
ing defeat of John l.. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers, and his
associates, in the Atlantic City A. F.
of L. convention on an organizational
question.
In statement announcing the char
tering of the new international Union,
William Green, president of the AM
erican Federation of Labor, said:
"The International Union, Pro-
gressive Mine Workers of America,
was chartered this day by the Execu-
tive Council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
"The jurisdiction of the new Inter-
national Union will be All workmen
eligible for membership who are en-
ployed in and around coal mines, coal

resulted in a renewal of last years
contract at the Akron Porcelain and
several changes giving the workers
small increases at the Colonial.
The contracts were brought to the
local meeting and endorsed by the
membership. Satisfaction with the
contracts was expressed by the firms

gressive and full support of the

Results Seen In

With another excellent attendance
and many lively discussions, Local
Union No. 131 added another fine
meeting to the list last Thursday
night.
At last we can see results in our
prolonged drive to make this local a
100 per cent organization. There are
still few non-union workers at the
trade and it would seem their employ
ers would aid us in our aim, but the CO.
operation is lacking for some reason.
Perhaps, they too, will see the union
light some day.

 Citizen.

anxious to cause embarrassment or trouble to any person, and one whose aim seemed to be the liv- ing of life that little or no fault could be found against.
 We respected MT. White: we ad- mired his eagerness to arrive at 8 just decision when matters inci- dent to his office presented them selves, and he had to decide. We think his mind was always in the right direction; his interior feel ing was to do good, and to be faithful to the city which em- ployed him.
 Tn all of this, we have a feeling that MT. White was successful; we never heard to the contrary. People who met and had business with him almost daily spoke glow ingly of his attributes. They knew he meant well, and did well.
 John F. White was a good churchman; he loved the church to which he belonged, and fol- lowed its teachings closely from day to day. No better Roman Catholic lives. we think: he ad- hered to every principle, and never wavered.
 The department of education will miss man built on the lines and life of John F. White.
 Tn the hereafter he deserves the best.

lRy the Out Easterl


 John P. White, the school in- spector, who was buried this week, was among the last of the old school of building construction foremen of Waterbury. We think of the Chatfields, the Tracy Bros. O., the Thompsons, John W. Gaffney, James H, Gaffney, of Gaffney and Martin, John Mraz, still living. and Owen Carey, men who did much in their day to- ward the up-building of Water bury. Of course the big firm was the Trey Bros. company, but John w. Gaffney, and Gaffney and Martin were the contractors in many instances of the brick and mason work on many of the buildings constructed by this well known and highly thought of firm of builders.
 Bricklayer
 John White was a bricklayer, as our, memory reveals, which also calls to mind the Cummings, Ed die and Bill, the Byrnes, Henry and John. first cousins, Joe Mo- Ilroy, and his brother, the Ber- gems of the old Abrigador, Ed and his brother Billy, and others whose names we are unable to re- call just now.
 But they were a great crowd of men, these bricklayers of a past day. Rugged and honest fellows, bent on giving a full days work for the good wages they received. And what a happy lot of men they were, every one of them. Fine types of citizens, good to know and mix with, and men of the kind one often felt, because of their build and physique. would never die. But many of them are gone today, practically all, and most of whom were classed as Irishmen, although mostly born in this city. We think of them often; the va rious buildings about town make us think of them, that is the part they played in the erection of the buildings still standing.
 MT. White was not a Waterbury man, but he had been here for a good many years. We remember him when he was associated with the then young firm of Gaffney and Martin. Jim Gaffney was a large and portly man, with a voice that carried through all parts of the building under construction. MT. Martin was just the opposite. And Mir. White, foreman, was the same quiet spoken man then as years later found him as inspector of the public school buildings of Waterbury.
 Upright Citizen
 Our contact with John White was limited, but there were times when we had occasion to converse with him, and to study him in way as to form 8 viewpoint from personal contact. That's the req son we say he was an upright citizen, a kindly man, a gentle man, @ soft spoken man, one never
