Se€ that the money you earn
under union conditions is spent for
articles produced by your fellow
unionists. The way to do this is
to demand the union label, card
and button. Stay away from places
that tell you they can not get un
ion-labeled products. They are
frauds attempting to deceive you
for their own gain. We secord the

The Farmers' Hotel on the cer
Iner of Front and Court streets have
placed a conspicious sign in their
place which reads. "This is a un

The sign is a little bit out of the

about the funnv sign, "me" will

that is the reason "me" does not

Thos. J. Donnelly, Secretary
Treasurer of the Ohio State Fed
eration of "Labor, Charles Wirmel
and Adolf Kummer all trades tin
ionists of Cincinnati were visitors
jn Hamilton last Tuesday. In the
evening they attended the meeting
of ihe central body where they
were called upon to address the
del-gates. Donnelly told the dele
gates the importance (f every
trades unionist in assisting the Fed
eration in preserving the Work
men's Compensation law. He
urged them to have the petitions
filled out as sojn as possible and to
return them to him. Wirmel also
talked on the work that is being
done by the Liability companies to
discredit the Workmen's Compen
sation law. He said that the un
ion men should each be a commit
tee of one in the work of fighting
the enemies of this law. Adolf
Kummer said that he was always
glad to be invited to atteni the
meeting of the central body of
Hamilton, because it was the place
where he received his schooling in
unionism. Kummer joined the
Brewers' Local Ur.lon in Hamilton
about eighteen years ago. Since
that time he has held many im
portant offices in the organization
They left for their home town Cin
cinnati after the meeting.
This is to inform the public that
the taxi cab lines in the city of
Hamilton are not operated by union
drivers. Ever since the strike of
the machinists last winter several
cab lines have been circulating re
ports that the American cab line
Boys' Union Made Shoes, Economy Shoe Store,
owned and operated by Carl Dilg is
scab line. Carl Dilg appeared
before the executive board of the
Machinists' Union last January
and at that meeting the machinists
cleaned matters up and nothing
more was said, nor anything held
against Dilg after that time. Other
cab lines are doing all they can to
make it appear that the American
is a scab line and to injure the bu
siness of this firm. The fact of
the matter is that somebody is a
little "green eyed" and can find no
other way to do the knocking.
None of the cab lines in the city
are recognized as union concerns,
because all the drivers are non un
ion drivers. The Machinist' Un
ion has no grievance against the
American cab line. If the cab
drivers who are doing the knock
ing want to make themselves stout
with organized labor and make
themselves right, they will make
application to the union and be
come members. Never use the un
ion argument against the other
fellow if you don't belong yourself.

Fair wages, shorter hours and
physical protection of the worker®
tends to widen the market for the
products of the farm, factory and
mine, it tend®, to stimulate the in
dustries in their various ramifica

and shorter hours is far more es

the commercial strife for foreign
markets in distant lands, protected
by a powerful and expensive mili

In the news of the meeting cf
the central body two weeks ago the
Mosler Safe Co., was reported by
the polishers as having signed up
with that organization a 54 hour
week and a closed shop. This was
in some way overlooked. Both
safe factories have signed.
Favors Eight Hour Law
Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 29.—
"The railroad chiefs of the country
were not opposed t® the eight-hour
day, contrary to the opinion that
has prevailed throughout the coun
try," said President F. D. Under
wood, of the Erie Railroad, at Mil
waukee, in an interview in a local
paper,
"There is a general feeling that
the eight-hour day is coming, and
no doubt it will come, and it ought
to come," he said. "The eight
hour law will c~st the Erie Rail
road $3,000,000 a year. I do not
believe additional legislation is
needed by Congress on this ques
tion.
"The interstate commerce com
mission can take care of the raise
in rates if any should be needed
Congress has set up the interstate
commerce commission to take car
of railroad matters. If the com
mission could take care of both
wages and ratts, there would be
no objection, because the commis
sion is unquestionably honest and
