far as to put poisoned oats in a
bin labeled "Port Clinton Herold"
and coaxing "CIO" to eat there
from. But "CIO" whinnied lit
tie whinny and refused to par
take. You see, the bin had a poor
reputation for clealiness and'no
self-respecting horse would go
near it.
The day of the race came and
passed. "CIO" crossed the finish
line before Company Union"
had encompassed a third Of the
track. The publishers jaw sag
ged and his face assumed livid
hue. He searched vainly for evil
dence of skuIlduggery, but every
thing seemed to be in order.
The hackers Of "CIO" gently
ribbed him as boys will do and
instead of laughing it off in the
manner of a good loser, he
waxed frantic and hysterical. He
foamed at the mouth and ragged.
He stamped his foot and stuck
out his tongue at all and sun
dry. When last seen he was back
at the unclean feeding trough
labeled Herald" slyly filtering
in the poison oats. He was look
ing forward to a rematch next
year and in his cunning little
way was plotting to destroy the
stamina Of the victorious horse.
But "CIO" was still a self
respecting colt and refused to
partake from the trough that had
a reputation for uncleanliness.
And, little children, if you listen
carefully, you can hear the
wrathful mutterings Of the pub
Usher and in response something
suggestive of a horse laugh.

Labor In Ohio

When the Ohio Senate passed ). b. l26,
eliminating many of the protective prOvi-
siOns for women and children workers, it
pointed the way which labor legislation is
going until the present political setup has
been thrown out of office by an aroused
electorate.
Coming events cast their shadows and
the shadow cast by the outcome of ). Il.
126 is not pleasant to contemplate. What
the fate of the bill will be in the House of
Representatives cannot be determined to
the exact vote; but il seems that in view
of the makeup of the lower house, the bill
will pass there by a much larger majority
than it received in the Senate.
In the face of what has happened TO
S. b. 126, which was protested by labor
unions, the League of Women Voters and
many other liberal and progressive organ
izations, We wonder what the outcome of
House Bill 1913 will be.
Obviously, the legislative intelligence
Of Ohio seems more fitted for the poll tax
states than for an enlightened industrial
state, ample evidence TO all the workers in
Ohio that they must prepare to clean house
and clean il promptly when 1914 rolls
around.
If you are satisfied with the legislative
setup of Ohio, this is not meant for you;
but if you resent being suppressed by Hit
lerian laws, having your labor organiza-
fionS "reOulafpd, into What an,o,ntc IA
destruction, then you could not act sooner
TO register for the next election.
Labor in Ohio has fight TO make and
job to do. Let us grid ourselves for that
fight, and prepare the political destruction
of our known enemies.

Yet, within the same week. the gentlemen Of
the press were complaining because President
Roosevelt scheduled private conference to which
they were not invited They wall about freedom
of the press" which they evidently interpret as a
license to stick their into business, which
for the best interests of our Country, should not
be publcized If the conference is off the record,
why should they have to hear what's going on!
AN ABUSED FREEDOM
Freedom of the press is a much abused free
dom. Freedom to tell the truth would be more
proper request but to tell the entire truth would
mean that many columnists and editoralists would
be of very little value to the interests which they
serve.

Speaking of the War Labor Board, however,
the press does not need to distort the actual news
in order to convince the people that they are TAX
ing beating.
INEQUALITIES
1t is hard to believe that President Roosevelt
would eliminate the granting Of wage adjustments
on the basis of inequalities between plants doing
similar work within the locality. Yet, the news
papers have told us that 10000 wage increases
have been turned down by the War Labor Board
although these increases had been mutually agreed
upon by the companies and the unions in question.
What it means is this:
If you are earning sixty cents an hour for as
semby work, and other plants in the Toledo area
are paying from ninety-two cents to one dollar
and twelve cents for the same type of work, you
must still work for sixty cents. And to make mat
ters worse all requests which have not been passed
upon prior to the Presidents Declaration of last
week will automatically be turned down, unless
a substandard wage is being paid, or unless your

Dear Sir:

on the defensive so completely
that it hasn't time for anything

have ceased to seek anything for
ourselves and are trying to pro-
tect what we have already gained.
was impressed by the words
which our state president, Jack
Kroll, addressed to the CIO of
Ohio asking all of us to register
and vote. My only hope is that
some of the people who failed to
be alarmed last election will now
realize their danger and get out
and do something about it.
Another thing that gripes me
is the Presidents last "hold the
line" executive order. 1t looks
like they are holding the line, al
right, right around the workers
necks, and the first time we open
our mouths they will tighten up
on the other end.
The only salts faction we of
labor have is the hope that when
this war is over we can once
more reform our lines and start
out to remedy the things which
we know are wrong. In the
meantime, we still have the pow
er of the ballot and hope the
next time around our people will
use it.
