When the American Federation
of Labor endorsed the American
Alliance for Labor and Democracy
it did two things:
It spiked the pacifist.
It spiked the traitor to labor who
would undermine the movement by
creating dual organizations.

These two precious specimens in
habited the same nest.
They worked toward the same
goal, and used the same means,
engaged in disruptirg the labor
movement. It has been as much a
part of their job as has been the
work of undermining the Ameri­
can government.
The American Federation of La
bor branded both heads of this
Bolsheviki beast.
No American workingman has
now any excuse for being misled
by the soft words and cunning
phrases of the agent provocateur
who comes clothed in the doubtful
garb of a fake labor organization.
The pacifists and the dualists are
branded. There can not be any
mistake about what they mean or
what they are after this.
''Peace now" demands the paci
fist in America.
Peace now'' would mean victory
for the Kaiser in Berlin.
What, then, is the pacifist in
America
As we said last week the fire es­
cape is up. We believe we extend
ed thanks to the persons that made
it possible and made conditions
safe for the tenants. We are now
informed that since the installation
of this most needy asset to the
Verona the rents of the tenants
have been increased accordingly.
Of course these tenants don't mind
a little matter of that sort, so long
as they have the satisfaction of
peering out of the windows these
gad blasted bloomin' cold days and
watch the fire escape.
The textile workers employed in
one hundred and ten mills in Fall
River, Mass., have through their
organization secured a 12£ per cent
increase in wages. It pays to be

With the report of the commis
sion, appointed by President Wil
son to investigate the deportation
of more than a thousand striking
copper workers from Bisbee, Ariz.,
last July, a new light has been
shed on this affair and the methods
employed by big business.
The strikers involved were not
I W. W., but members of bona
fide labor unions affiliated with the
A. F. of L., and the dastardly out
rage was perpetrated with the one
object of destroying the principle
of collective bargaining and render
ing the miners servile to the whims
of the copper barons.
The commission in its report se
verely criticizes those persons re
sponsible for the deportation, stat­
ing that it was wholly illegal and
without authority in law, either
state or federal. The commission
also found that the whole affair
was planned by a number of Bis
bee citizens, "iucluding officers of
the Phelps-Dodge and Calumet &
Arizona mining interests.
But there isn't anything so bad
but what some good will ceme out
of it. In this instance it is a warn
ing to the public not to be too
hasty in forming opinions regard
ing the differences between em
ployer and employes from what
tbey read in the daily press
The Dayton Labor Review in its
last week's issue says that Hamil

wagon had only been called once
to the "rat trap" the previous
week. By gollies, brother, we are

let's keep our families and our

size of Hamilton and larger, the

do it here By doing this we can
do our "bit" by the clerks and
they will appreciate it very much.
How about the "team?" Has
anyone heard of it lately And to
think they were doing such great
work, for a time, pulling together.
We don't hear of any merchant
boasting of the patronage they re
ceive from the non-union molders
who have been imported into this
city.
Before the big strike a few
months ago, the union molders em
ployed in the Niles foundry dis­
played their patriotism by chip
ping into the pot and purchased
several flags and placed them pro­
perly in front of the foundry.
Since the union molders evacuation
from that place the flags have
been sadly neglected. Soiled and
torn they hang from their poles a
pitiful sight. The molders now
employed in that same foundry care

ders who were forced to strike, old
glory on that fonndry has been
overlooked.
If any manufacturer or business
man can prove to us that we are
on the wrong route when we lake
up labor's fight for better working
onditions, we will certainly
cease operations.
Labor unions are all right but
they ask for more money for their
members, shorter hours, better san
itary conditions, etc., and that is
what we don't like. They're never
satisfied and they are always want
ing something. They should be
satisfied with what we think they
should have and nothing more
They have no right to ask us busi
ness men for better conditions.
The scab is never contented no
matter how much money he or she
