Let some of the wise giaks who think this is not the tine to strike inform us when the proper time is. THE machinists and the molders are justly entitled to their share of the enormous profits that are being made by factories handling war or ders. Factories who refuse to grant it are not fair with their help. Two hours is all that is ho'ding off the settlement of the Hooven Owens & Rentschler strike. They granted a fifty hour week and the men have asked for a forty eight hour week. This is a small matter and the company should, if it wants to do a good deed call in their men and give them the eight hour day. WE ARE told that the King com pany manufacturers of non union bread is going to give away stamps with their goods. This company has tried many schemes to get the trade but somehow the people pre fer Hamilton made bread. Beware of the bread that must be boosted with premiums. Miss Louisa Middlestadt one of the ladies who spoke in front of the Court House against prohibi tion last Tuesday night, has issued a challenge to debate the question of prohibition from an economic standpoint with William J. Bryan in Cincinnati Toursday. You can rest assured that Bill with his grape jtrce ideas will never accept the cha'lange to debate the queston with Miss Middlestadt. The lady perhaps knows that Bill is a quitter and Bill knows thfct it !s dangeroas for a politician to debate with a trade unionists.

Men with peculiar mo tives try to use the workingman in time cf trouble for other pur poses than unionism. It should be the aim and the object of every trade unionists to win the labor battle rst and the others will take care of themselves. What we need now is strict adherence to trade un ion principles and a determined stand for the eight hour day. STRIKE About four hundred and fifty machinists and all members of the local union in the plant of the Niles Tool Works Company went on strike Friday morning, promptly at 9 n'clock. Organizer McMahon mounted a fiat car and addressed the strikers. He urged them to conduct themselves as gentlemen. The machinists then formed in line and headed by the Harmony quar tette they marched to Trades Coun cil hall and heard the report of the committee. Unionists Are Not Guilty. New York, Oct. v i 29.—After a trial that lasted two weeks, five of ficers and members of the Interna tional Ladies' Garment Workers' union were declared not guilty of murder. Secretary-Treasurer Mor ris Sigrnan was one of the defen dants. The case of two other members did not go to the jury, as the prosecution asked that these workers be dismissed. The jury's verdict aiarks the complete collapse of an attack against the garment workers' union. Lsat spring the employers abro gated an agreement witn ttiis union and announced that no more con tracts would be signtd bv them. This was followed by the arrest of seven active worker? on the charge of murder, The union replied to these as saults in a vigorous manner. At one of the largest protest meetings held in this city President Gompers gave this answer to the employers' policy: "You can't destroy unions by breaking agreements. We favor contracts, but we do not depend upon them to live. In the fight for freedom we are goiug to stand shoulder to shoulder, not for war, but for peace. Any assault on our ranks or on the meanest among us, will find us ready to fight to main tain the lives of the toilers of our country." While preparing to defend their fellow workers, the unionists strengthened their lines to meet the employers' repudiation of a contract. This activity resulted in the employers agreeing to arbi trate the question, which resulted in wage increases and a declaration by the arbiters that some system must be devised whereby claims of workers that they are unjustly dis charged may be considered. Tiie board expressed the follow ing views on the employers' theory that "every man has the right to run his own business:" "No human being is wise enough to be able to trust his sole judg ment in decisions that affect the welfare of others be needs to be protected, and, if he is truly wise, will welcome protection aga nst the err jrs to which he is liable in com mon with his kind, as well as against the inspirations of passions and selfishness. For this reason a tribunal of some kind is necessary in case either of the parties to this coveuant believes itself to be un justly aggrieved." 4.»*.4.•»»• i|.14 1 1 r* v .^v JL Girls Dimand Increases, New Y«rk, Oct. 29.—Nearly 10,000 girls employed in over w ,c FOR YOUR NEXT SUIT 60 TO THE UP-TO-DATE TAILORS 235 Court Street Suits $4 EZ -00 Top Coats IO No Less btrictly Union Made Garments in our own B.
