A
WK WOUL,D ask you, The Niles
Tool Works Company, do YOU
think yen are doing anything for
the safety of democracy by import
iag into oar city, UICD, such as you
brought in last July 8th. Known
as strikebreakers and used for that
purpose, they are selected from the
•ery lowest classes. Men who do
not know the meaning of the words
decency and principle. They are
known as gunmen and thieves.
Men who wouldn stop short of
murder f«r a few measly dollars.
Men who have no tnore respect or
regard for the decency of our wom
en than that of a yellow cur. Men
who haven' the least regard for
the welfare of our city they are
like the Hyena, defined as a thing
feeding on carron, often robbing
graves, despised by all that is
decent.
Whether you know this or not,
or whether you know the caliber of
these men, Mr. Niles Company, we
are giving yon herewith tbe°e facts:
These same men whom you in
stalled in your recently acquired
hotel, at Fourth St., and Maple
Ave., all through that day, Sun­
day, July 8th, grinned at the men
on the streets and flashed large
rolls of bills at them, as if to say
we don't mind the dirty work so
long as we are paid for it, aad we
have been paid In advance. But as
soon as the shades of night began
falling their yellow streak cropped
out, "no strikebreaker has ever
been seen yet who can stand it to
be alone in the dark", and they
pleaded with Chief of Police Chas.
Strieker to conduct them to the de
pot and permission to leave the city
saying, that YOU, the Niles Tool
Works Company, misrepresented
the iituation to them in that YOU
told them there was a new shop
starting up fcere on government
work, that there was no strike and
would pay $8.00 to $10.00 per day.
This is the type of men you brought
to our city. Men with whom you
wouldn't associate, nor would you
think of allowiug any of tLe mem
bers of your family o associate
with.
When these men were taken to
the depot a gun, almost the size of
a ride, was taken from one of thei
Again we ask you, The Niles
Tool Works Company, what, huve
YOU done for the protection of de
mocracy in our TOWN, and do you
believe the bringing into our city
such characters as before described
to be conducive to the best interests,
welfare and democracy in our city?

Clem Pater, 421 South 2nd St,
for the socialist agitators in the
ranks of union labor. —Journal,
Friday, July 13.
The above, taken from the Jour
aal, reads like a joke or fro* the
pen of some hop fiend. What have
the socialists, democrats or republi
cans to do with it. We have said
before, this is a labor affair, and
politics barred. We have a sneak
ing idea that the writer of the Jour
nal article was taking liis atternoon
nap when the political bees began
sweetly humming and singing
about his troubled brow and started
him dreaming.
You are on the wrong trail bro
ther, change your tactics, keep oat.
A word to the wise, etc—.
"Is HAMILTON a Safe Town for
Democracy?" Niles. It should be
with all the armed guards around
the Niks and the Champion plants
Do THB people know that araaed
guards with rifles, shot guns aud
revolvers are patrolling the Niles
and the Champion?
IT is charged in some quarters
that these strikes could be settled
within an hour if it wasn't for cer
tain agitators. This is not true.
WE say that it would be settled in
LESS than an hour if the HEADS
of the CONCERNS, whose em
ployes are on strike, would only be
reasonable enough and display that
spirit of Christianity, with which
they are credited, to such extent
as to at least receive the committees
of the men on strike and hear their
grievances. But they persistently
refuse to do this even though im
portuned by some of our most prom
inent business into aed atizeus.
How then rau a scitlemetit be
reached?
Is this fair?
We are putting this up La the
public and making these facts
known so that the other side of the
story might be brought out. After
reading the local daily papers one
is inclined to believe that any man
who is a member of a union must
wear herns.
Night after night they make a
big hullabaloo about riots and
bloodshed and no protection when
there really hasn't been any dis
order of any kind in connection
with the strikes for nearly two
weeks.
Union men resent this and ask
only for a square deal.
LAHUK unions have increased the
wages of nearly every trade in the
city and they have also shortened
the hours of the laboring men and
women.
LET Governor Cox teil the man
ufacturers of Hamilton the same
thing he told the Cincinnati Street
Railway interests during the strike
of five years ago. "Settle with
yoi:r men and there will be no need
of sending of troops." That will
settle tbe strike here.
WE KNOW where somebody can
btiv a hotel very cheap.
OF COURSE it was disappointing
to spend nearly $50,000 on a hotel,
fill it with a lot of scum that they
expected the whole city to rise up
nd indignate against to such ex-

tent as to destroy the place, blame
it onto the strikers, thereby having
cause to ask Governor Cox to send
in the soldiers and then not have
it go through. Come again.
Wages they want, not charity.
'Bonus," beat it.
IN ANSWBR to the query of the
Niles Tool Works Company, "Is
Hamilton a safe town for denooc-
racy?" would say "YES." As safe
as any to-vn in the country. Our
TOWN always, may phe ever be
right, but right or wrong, OUR
TOWN!
THE Niles Tool Works company
is displaying a fine lot of loyalty
and interest in the welfare of the
city by spreading broadcast the im
pression that cur city is unsafe for
democracy, through large display
advertisements in our daily papers
bine boosters for th- town.
Do THE wise heads of the Niles
plant know that all government
plants are operated by organized
labor? Uncle Sam never objects to
labor unions iu bis large plants.
Barbers Make Big Gains.
Only Two Shops In Tht City
Remain Non-Union.
Barbers' Union Local 132, has
also contracted that contagious dis
ease which is getting such strong
hold on organized labor in this
community, known as wakeup
fever, in the past two weeks they
have unionized three shops, one of
which is one of the largest in the
city.
The shops organized and whose
employes are all now members of
the union are John Davis' 5 chair
shop at 350 High street, P. A.
Dearth, Sycamore street between
4th and 5th and the shop in the
Martins' Flats Building, on Maple
Ave., which has heretofore been
unfair but is now being conducted
by Earnest Owiugs, o chairs and
strictly union.
These shops are uow on tiie fair
list and entitled to the patronage of
[organized labor.
All barber shops in the city are
now on tlie fair list with the excep
tion of two and the members of the
local say they will no doubt be in
very shortly.
Black & Clawson Company
Closed Down In All
Department.
The Black & Clawson Co., plant
is closed down in its entirety. The
molders have practically all joined
the union. Many of the machinists
have become members of the union
and some of them have taken posi
tions elsewhere while others hav
left the city.
A committee of the molders call
ed at the offices of the company
Tuesday morning and were accord
ed a friendly reception by the offi
cials of the concern who said that
as the shop was not in operation,
and wouldn't be for a few days,
they asked that the discussion for
a settlement of the differences ex
isting between, the company and
the men on strike, be deferred a
few days, promising to send for a
committee as soon as things shaped
up in the shop.
It is believed that with a thor
ough discussion and understanding
of the differences existing at this
plant a settlement will be reached
in a very few days.
Unorganized Strike.
Kansas City, Mo. July 20.—The
discharge of a box maker in one of
the many unorganized plants in this
city aroused 2,000 of these worker}
to their deplorable condition anc
every box factory is tied up. Trad«
unionists came to the assistance oi
the strikers, who are now organized
With the consciousness of power
they are demanding union recogni
tion and a higher rate then they
formerly asked.

How About The
Employes?
Washington, July 20.—Officials
of the Southern Railway company
announce that out of nearly 18,000
000 passengers handled by this cor
poration during the last fiscal year,
not a single one was killed. The
management states that it "takes
the utmost satisfaction in this
achievement."
No mention is made of the poorly
paid section worker who contracted
rheumatism in all kinds of weather
the train service employes who lost
life and limb or the shop men who
suffer from occupational diseases.
