HOME TKLBPHONE BOB. BBI-L 129ft—X. endorsed by the Trades and Labor Council of Hamilton, Ohio. THE Twenty-first Annual Cele bration of Labor Day will be held in Hamilton on next Monday, Sep tember 1,1913. The thousands of members of organized labor throughout our city and the United States have many reasons why they can celebrate the day. In the ear ly days of unionism the toilers were confronted with an up hill fight for a small increase in wages, short er hours and better sanitary condi tions. It has oiiiy been a short while ago that the workers realized to gain certain advantages from the employers it was necessary to organize into one body for the good of all. Since this realization and the workers have become thor oughly organized many changes have been made in the great Amer ican industries which are the fruits of the labor unions untireing efforts In many of our factories decent sanitary conditions were unkoown and little did tbe factory owner care as long as the men were grind ing out the dollars and were not raising their voice against it. If one or two employes did protes* You can buy Men's $4 ihey were immediately discharged for being disturbers and agitators. But things have so changed since labor unions have been organized that the employer cannot discharge the workers so readily without bringing all into the controversy. Ha is obliged to deal with the men as a body and not individually as heretofore and in many cases is asked to live up to a contract drawn up by the union in a nice busiuess way, which has proven up to now to be entirely satisfactory. Reports come from all over the country that labor unions have se cured increases in wages for their members, shorter hours and bettei wo king conditions without a strike a lockot and without any trouble whatever. They have also become real business institutions and they now meet the employer as business men and all contracts and agree ments are drawn up in a business manner and as a rule the etnployei signs without any trouble whatever In manv states throughout the country especially our own state Ohio, many important laws have been enacted that benefits labor direct. The child labor law, Work man's Compensation Law, and tbt Woman's Nine Hour Law are the results of the legislative work done in the past few years by the laboi unions of our state. Labor unions, their members and their families have reasons to celebrate Labor Day vbis year because never in the history of organizrd labor has so much good been accomplished as in the year past LABOR DAY PICNIC COM MITTEES.

Vaughn, Grand Marshal for the Laber Day Parade, after looking over the sit uation We are going to havi more unions in the parade and we are going to have more union men in line. You will find that the new members who have joined the labor unions in the past year will line up to a man. Many of our unions have doubled in membership since the last Labor Day Parade and the increase in membership will cer tainly swell the crowd. The pa rade will move promptly at 9 o'clock pnd all of th assistant mar shals are requested to get t.ieir rneu iu line so that the parade can start on time. If the weather is "avoiable I believe we will have the best parade we have ever had.

The conductors and motor men began their session early last evening, and shortly afterward officials of the various interurban lines drove to the hall in automobiles and trained the headlights of their ma chines on every exit. During the entire n.gbt the officials remained K O U O W A Y S O E 1 0 E A 3 A Y i S Y O U i O N E Y A & 4 2 1 S O U S E O N S E E Best Hosiery in the Land at 15c and 25c Thursday only, at their posts declaring they woul^ not leave until the employes came 10m the building. The trainmen who had secretly formed their un ion, appeared to be satisfied with the conditions ano ch«»se to remain in the hall rather than to leave and be recognired by their superiors. Application ha,- been forwarded to the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Em ployes for charter, which will ar rive in a few days. In the mean time demands are being formulated and will be presented to the com pany. Rezin Orr, General Organ izer of the Association and one of his associates were attacked and badly beaten up by the tnugs. I0IJANCH C. Joseph Miller, president of the famous 101 Ranch of Oklahoma, publicly offered, in Mexico City, Mexico, $5,000, to any Spanish or Mexican bull fighter who would dare to try to duplicate the feat of Wm. Pickott, a 101 Ranch cowboy who, bare banded, fought a Span ish bull in the Mexico bull ring. And a great fear and silence was upon one and all the matadors. All the republic of Mexico could not produce a man so brave and strange as this American. The cowboy performed his life risking exploit before 40,000 Mex icans. It was the result of a heavy wager between M. Miller and Mex ican capitalists as to the relative courage of their respective country men. Pickett's antagonist was the fiercest and most dreaded bull of the country, whom the boldest na tive bull-fighter feared even to ap proach nor could any human being lay biuds on him and live, they solemnly affirmed. For seen minutes and a half Pickett battled, hand-to horn.c, with the brutd, while tbe hostile Mexicans, realizing that he was be littling their own beloved matadors hurled missies and iusults at him. Bleeding and exhausted from •he wounds of bis four-footed antagon istic and from the fury of tbe mob, his safe deliverance from the arena is still the talk of Mexico and the southwest The cowboy will make his ap pearance at each performance of the 101 Ranch Wild Weft in this city Saturday, Sept. 13, at Walnut and East Ave. His demonstration of courage and strength is given with a wild Texas steer, to whose horns he leaps from the saddle of a running horse, then attempting to throw the beast on its side. The deed is a life-risking one. The 101 Rranch is endorsed by organized labor. It is the onl show coming here that is approved by Ubcr, aud labor should patron ize it. 15c Hose or Half Hose 10 CENTS White, Tan or Black no stamps with this special 10c Hosiery^ WW WALTER S. BROWN CITY [TREASURER Candidate For (SECOND TJUtCVI At the regular election to be held November 4, 1913 **$* CONSISTENCY .IS A JEWEL Why Union Men Should Always Prefw Goods Bearing Label. If tbere Is one fenture of the labor mos'etueut which hrs been so persist ently called to the attention of the rank and file and which has received less consideration than the union label we do not know tvhipb oue It ts, says ttie Garment Worker. Every international unloti whose members are employed U|KU eounnudl ties to which a union label is attached has spent thousands of dollars In an effort to educate the workers as to tbe valae of this insignia of humane and fair working conditions, yet we find that, while there is a slight increase in tbe sale of uniou made goods. It Is all out of proportion to the great increase of membership In trade unions. Why this situation should obtain we are unable to say. but'that this is a stubborn fact cannot be successfully denied by tbe most ardent advocate of the union label and what it stands for. How can any trj»de unionist main tain a consistent position who in his union meetings advocates fewer hours and Increased wages for himself and fellows and at the same time be an employer of nonunion labor? To our mind this sort of union man is a constant menace to tbe trade un ion movement, because be embodies the personification of selfishness, as he cares nothing for the welfare of the thousands of workers in other trades and Is content to have tbe money which his trade union secures for bim perpetuate convict, child and sweat shop labor by continually purchasing tbe goods whicb are produced under these conditions. It is possible that the system of ad vertising the union label by personal nppenls to the rank and file Is wrong, but we do not believe so. and until we can arouse a feeling In the tneu and women whom we have every right to appeal to for their patronage, that every time they purchase anything that does not bear the union label, when it can be procured, they are vir tually taking tbe same position they would did they accept employment in time of a srrlke. snd In what light would they then appear to their fel lows! True, tbe anion label is not tbe last word in the emancipation of the work ers. but it cannot be denied that It Is a potent weapon for good, and we urge upon the thoughtless men and women who have been careless In this direc tion to remember the promise they made when they Joined a labor union to discriminate in favor of union made goods. In other words, be consistent and practice what you preach. MANY STRIKES IN ENGLAND. The Year 1913 Will Probably Set a New High Record. There are signs tbnt 1013 will create a new strike record for England, but it will be slightly different la charac ter from that of last year. In 1912 there were more days lost on account of strikes than had been tbe case in any previous year, the to tal approaching very nearly the 40. 000.000 line. The record for 1013 Is likely to be in the number of individual strikes. So far 400 separate strikes and lockouts have been reported, or double the number of lest year, which was in it self a record The number of york people affected by these disputes was. however, not very much out of the ordinary, and the number of days lost has been ex ceeded four times in tho last ten years. It is a remarkable fact that tbe ex cess of time lost through trade dis putes coincides more or less with years of booming trade. First Minimum Wage Scale. The very first minimum wage scale for female clerks was established some ten years ago by the Fort Worth (Tex.) Retail Clerks' union. After a struggle lasting for several weeks $r» was estab lished as the'minimum. TRADE UNION NOTES. Canadian letter carriers will receive an Increase in wages. Workmen's compensation, minimum wage, initiative, referendum and re call laws were pussed by the last Min nesota legislature. The new financial system adopted a year ago by the Bricklayers' Interna tlonal union has greatly strengthened its financial condition. British members of the Federation of Transport Workers have adopted n resolution urging all members to re fuse to handle munitions of war. Under the new laws in New York state women employed In mercanti establishments in second class cith can only work flfry-four hours a wee). The co-operative industrial socletir of the United Kiugdom show nearl $350,000,000 of business during tt year of 1911.
