MAIER SCHWARZ,
A FORMER UNION
OFFICIAL, PASSES
Superintendent Of Crown Overall Co.
Widely Known In Labor Circles
Frequent Visitor In Hamilton.

Death closed the active life of Maier
Schwarz, Tuesday, July 25, when he
succumbed to a heart attack at the
Crown Overall Manufacturing Com
pany, where he had been superintend
ent for the last % years.
Mr.. Schwarz could be termed pio-
neer organizer Of the clothing indus
try in the United States for he was
one of the first organizers during the
early days of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and was quite instru-
mental in the organization field
throughout the country. He served
as president of the Garment Workers
Local Union, No. 224. Although re-
tired union organizer, he still was a
strong and ardent fighter for the
principles of organized labor because
he knew and helped make the story
that is the history of the organiza-
tion of union labor.
He was a member of the Cuvier
Press Club and the Hyde Park Ma
sonic Lodge.
Surviving Mr.. Schwarz are his
widow, Mrs. Clara Benesh Schwarz,
and son, Robert j. Schwarz. He
was sc years old and lived at 3618 Ed
wards Road His death was shock
to all the members of Garment Work
ers' No. 90 who cherished his friend
ship, not only as good employer but
also because he was a fine example
of true union man.
Mr.. Schwarz was we'll known in
Hamilton and was frequent visitor
at the Press office.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - The
Senate committee on education and
labor has approved the La Toilette
bill to outlaw certain Oppressive la
Dor practices"
The report placed the bill in fa-
vorable position for early considera-
tion at the next session of Congress.
Changes were made in the bill but
it remains substantially the same as
drawn in its original form by Senator
La Toilette. 1t still proposes to out
law '1abor spies," the use of profess

employment of armed private police

EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS

Washington.-Es Estimating that the
national income during the first four
months of 1889 totaled 1861, ,000,-
900, a gain of 2 per cent over the COR
responding period of last year, the
Commerce Department said that the
income received by employees during
the four months was A per cent above
the total for the like period in 1888.
It's the backbone, not the wish
bone, that puts "us" in "bonus."

OF DEATH AND GLORY

Millions of men under arms
Germany and Italy spurn Roose-
velt's peace plea. II Duce makes
further demands on France. Eng
land strives to mobolize re-
sources.
Once again Europe is engulfed
in madness. Sides are being
drawn, signatures attached to
hurridly written treaties, ga s
masks passed out, bomb proof
shelters constructed, plans per-
fected to evacuate women and
children to safe" places, SOL
diers in full war regalia station
ed along boundaries and front
iers. A world waits in fearful
anticipation for the spark, the
border incident or designation
that will rend the structure of
civilization asunder and send
men flying at each others
Threats like wild beasts.
Whether the next European
war will come in week, month
or year is matter of specula-
ton. In all probability the erud-
lite statesmen and dictators do
not know. 1t is almost certain
that no nation will take the
trouble to declare war. Along
with international law, declara-
ton of war is outmoded. The
method now used is for the ma
ton that seeks war to lay down
a barrage of vicious propaganda,
drum vile lies into the peoples
minds, hyponotize them into a
wild mass of enegy, then strike.
Methods and Times Change
America may be able to stay
out of the conflict, but a varied
assortment of war-mongers will
attempt to "psychologically
prime" every American. Lofty

In urging this attitude upon

asking and not giving.
Beginning with those who ear
~ adventured to establish this
country our race has continued
to this present day in making
every contribution and sacri-
flee in our power to make and
give in order that our country
might be first among N
tons. Our fathers came to

manifest itself most poignant,
when, after having en- eye sho
,out and an arm whitfield off
lyou stumble into q mess of barb
wire, the kind of barbed-wil's
that will rip a steers hide. The
more you try to free yourself
the deeper the barbs sink. You
Unjust lie there a CORY, torn mass.
How utterly glorious it must
be to get Whit of poison gas,
probably mustard gas or phos-
gene. A mite of phosgene polutes
the air for miles. But unless
you gulp in several lung fulls
you must live a glorious few
days. In intense, agonzing pain,
you slowly suffocate to death.
When you do die, you go in a
weller of frey torture. 1t must
surely be refreshing to sleep in
three feet of Shiny mud, rats
tearing at you and vermin bit
ing every inch of your flesh.
If you adhere to Christianity,
you must indeed feel exhilarat-
ed when thrusting twenty inches
of bayonet into thu glloin of
some unfortunate. The picture
of Christ dying so that men
might live must swim before
the eyes of those who crouch
behind a machine gun and NOV
men down like so many blades
of grass. Are murder, robbery,
rape and rapine Christian acts?
Each Man Dies Alone
Perhaps this is the glory of
war: each man dies an ,indivi-
dual death. Each dies alone a.
fraid, tortured by the fact that
life is slipping away. Each man
has visions of the fine things he
would like to accomplish. Some
ask the eternal question, Why?I
And receive no answer. Each
man sees the great black shadow
of death coming on and each
begs and prays for life, but each
one dies.
Glory by Air
Could aerial warfare be the
glory the propagandists preach
about? Certainly cruising a.
round in the pure, blue air, high
above the rotten mess on earth, |
life must seem good. But sudden
ly you jerk your head around,
your ears pick out the sound of |
alien motors, then you see them. |
The air seems filled with planes,
each splitting out twin jets of |
flame. A lump rises in your
throat. You glue your eyes on an
enemy plane. Your fingers twitch
yet you force them to squeeze |
the trigger. Your bullets hop
out and miss their mark. You
are nervous. Like a hawk an |
enemy plane roars down on you. |
He dives, his guns chanting a
song of death. The deadly |
stream racks the tail of your
ship a little. But he is an old |
hand at the game, and is grimly |
determined to blast you from |
the sky. He levels off and comes
at you again. Little pellets of |
red-hot steel rip through your
ship. Your motor coughs. The
dashboard becomes splinters.
The whitening blast shreads
your plane and it catches fire.
You sit there numb, afraid,
alone in a flaming coffin. You
head toward the earth with
binding speed. H OF oil bursts
from your motor and pours over
your body Your arms and legs
catch afire You, shrek, Oh God,
no, don't, don't...... You be-
come a blazing mass of flesh.
In all the din and confusion you
smell your own flesh burning.
Kind, merciful death comes at
last.
War beautiful, honorable, mag
nificent, glorious? War is death.
And death is real and death is
earnest. A.sssfsEEBl' siaay

MY interest In the field o.
education began with failur,
to obtain scholarship aid in col
lege and later in the perform
ance of my duty as a member
of>the minor judiciary in Ind.
In the corut where l presided
the litigants were largely work
ers in mills, white and colored
with many foreigners who were
unfamiliar with the English Ian
guage. The colored workers
were from Southern states, lar
gely illiteates-that is, over 10
years of age and unable to read
or write in English or any other
laguage. Their cases mostly in
volved the collection of from
them. Every two weesk we had
about 600 cases.
A remarkable thing was that
the claims, whatever the work
ers received as wages, and
however many persons compos-
ed his family, Invariably equal
ed about 65 per cent of his
wages. In 80 per cent of the
cases the defendants were un-
abb to defend themselves d
therefore were at the mercy of
the merchants. So the lack of
availabl scholarship funds for
college students and the indie
fensibe position of the illiterates
before the courts were, and are,
the reasons why I ventured just
a step in the field education.
/ studied the background of
these litigants. In cases of the
foreign born their difficulties are
due to unfamiliarity with the
language. TIL e colored people
had not been exposed to educa-
ton, either by public or private
enterprise. They cam from
states which had not afforded
t n e m proper school facilities.
Examination disclosed that in
certain states very little, if any,
preparation was made for color
ed children either in primary,
intermediate, or grammar grades
In many instances the schoo!
terms ran three months a year;
the school buildings were inaces-
sable, out of repair, poorly
equipped and teachers were
poorly prepared and inadequate
ly paid. Investigation disclosed
that there are 230 counties in
t h e United States with large
colored population without pre-
paration for colored children at
the high school level; that in II
states tn e average school ex-
penditure for a white child is
$44.31 per anDum, and only
$12.57 for a colored one.

: of these educational Inequalities
will challenge the interest of
those in authority to an effort
to correct them for the benefit
Of our entire citizenry. For, il
