Strike At
Sand Company

At the regular meeting of
the Newark Federation of La
Dor Wednesday night full SYM
pathy was extended to the
strikers, and committee ap-
pointed to enlist pickets from
the ranks of affiliated unions
to assist in patrOling the plant.
Twenty-Five employees of the
L. K. Brown Molding Sand Com
pany, Dorsey Mill road, are pro-
testing wages and seeking bet
ter working conditions. They
have been on strike for nearly
two weeks.
The group, members of the
United Brick and Clay Workers
of America, an A. F. of l.. union,
ask for 20 cent wage increase,
maintaining that the current 80
cents-an-hour they are receiving
is untenable.
Edgar E. Baker, secretary of
the Newark Federation of Lab
or, in commenting on the Brown
company strike, said, Fifty
cents an hour is not an unreason-
able request"
Employees are now picketing
the idle plant, so per cent of
whose production had, hereto
fore, been going to the defense
industries, chief of which had
been the Wright Aeronautic Co.
at Paterson, N. j., Mr.. Baker
said.
The company has refused the
increase in wages, and no ne
gotiations have been in progress,

Head Of u. S. Chamber
Of Commerce Speaks

The following statement entitled
Liberty Depends Upon the Right to
Work" is issued by R. w. Hawkes.,
president of the United States Cham
Der of Commerce:
"The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States recognizes that the
safety and welfare of our citizens
depend upon full speed ahead in the
production of those things required
for national defense. 1t further re-
allies that to accomplish this end,
we must have unity and willing
ness by all to make sacrifices.
"Such unity of purpose and action
involves not only management and
labor, but all American citizens. We
hold that the right to work or to
refuse to work is one of our great
freedoms, to preserve which the ma
ton is arming itself. Governments
local, state and federal-have a
first duty and responsibility to pro-
tect the citizens in this right to work
while at work-on their way to
and from work-in their homes and
in all ordinary legal pursuits of
their private life.
"We believe in the right of an
individual to refuse to work and the
right of group to strike. But un-
der our present national emergency,
we deplore any such action based
upon an unreasonable demand or a
debatable cause.
"No right guaranteed to the indi-
vidual under our Constitution is
more sacred and fundamentally i'm
portant than the right of the indi-
vidual to work and earn a living.
This right exists whether he be-
longs to a union or does not belong
to union. 1t is a Fifth Freedom,
quite as important as any of the
freedoms, including the four free
doms of worship, speech, the press
and assembly.
eve firmly hold that if our estab-
lished form of government is to en-
dure, it must not permit or assist
any group of its citizens to force
others to surrender their guaranteed
rights and freedoms.
"We would be derelict in our pub
lie duty if we did not point out the
danger inherent in the recent policy
of public officials in bringing pres
sure upon directors and stockholders
to remove anyone in management as
the price of subduing labor violence
"We believe any government off
cial who uses the power of his office
to urge the owners of private bust
ness to remove anyone in the man
agement of their business because of
his or her inability to settle a differ
ence or grievance that may exist be-
tween employer and employee or

addition Harry won firsts in Short
horn COWS two and three and in the
heifer and heifer calf group. Harry,
an eighth grade student, was home
sick in bed with the flu and was
unable to see the awards given.
Directors of the fair, departmental
heads and the hard working secre-
tary Harry T. Barnes, all deserve a
great deal of credit for the success
that the fair proved to be this year.
It's real job and lot of hard
work together with many headaches
to put on a fair the size and quality
of Buttons annual event.
A large turnout was on hand to
see the log saving contest in which
Findlay saving team cut through
the 10 inch green sycamore log in
exactly "a and Us seconds.
The horse exhibit was a little
short in numbers it is true but their
was no lack of quality and horse
faneiers made their headquarters at
the Locher barn on Vance street as
usual. And by the way, there was
plenty OF class in that champion
Belgian stallion of Powell's.
As usual z. Y. Frantz and Son
exhibited their herd of Hereford
cattle and made a clean sweep of
that division.
Alfred Criblez and sons Robert
and Maurice took all premiums in
the Brown Swiss cattle division.
Competition in the swine show
was fast and keen with Ben Amstutz
cleaning the platter in the Poland
China division; o. c. Burkholder
dominating the Duroc class; and
Heldman Bros. taking the majority
of prizes in the Berkshires.
You've surely got to hand it to
the boys of the Junior Fair, many
Of whom exhibited in open class
competition. Practically all of the
animals shown by the boys were
eligible to registry and were gen.
orally of a very high quality.
Champion male of the poultry
show was won by Wesley Sommers
with the champion female and pen
going to C. H. Peters.

exhibited by c. H. Peters, veteran
