"This is Labor's War!" So de
clares the proclamation issued by the
Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor.
Yes, this is Labor's war.
That is why the people of the
United States are united in determ
ination to win this war.
This is the war of the people
against oppressors.
This is the great war of humanity
against the despoilers of humanity.
This is the great war against the
dead past.
This is the war of the new dispen
sation!
Out of this war comes democracy
triumphant.
Out of this war comes the people's
opportunity to go forward in free
dom.
Out of this war comes the open door
to the fullness of a free future.
Out of this war comes the great
dominant fact that the people of the
world will be free to work out in
safety the highest possibilities of
human society, unafraid and untram
eled.
So this is Labor's war. The fu
ture of the useful people of the world
is bound up in this titanic struggle.
In such a war there can be but
one result.
One special duty we owe ourselves
is, to see that the union label is on
everything we buy with our wages,
earned under a union wage scale.

Do you know Mr. Union Man, that
there is a store in this town whose
manager says that no girl belong
ing to the union can work for him?
If you don't, ask anyone you meet
and they can tell you about it. Then
if you patronize that store, or allow
any of your family to do so, you
ought to be ashamed to look a real
union man in the face.
The coming summer and fall will
witness the greatest fight ever staged
for and against prohibition, in the
state of Ohio. Both the wets and
drys are organizing their forces,
bringing up their heaviest guns.
The wets were always slow organiz
ing and usually slept and never awoke
until the enemy were right on top of
them. It will be different this year,
however, because they are already
awake to the danger confronting
them and they say that the drys are
in for the worst trimming they ever
received.
The union man who patronizes an
unfair store is no better than the
union man who takes a job in a scab
shop.
Some people around here are try
ing to make light of the perjury
charges filed several weeks ago. It
seems to us with from three to ten
years in the penitentiary staring one
in the face it is no light matter.
We learn that the Hamilton city
street car lines are to operate on the
skip-stop plan on and after today.
We know that they have been operat
ing on the "stop" plan a long time
and we are glad to learn that the
"skip" plan is to be added, anything
to better the service. The Press does
n't want any thanks nor does it care
to take the credit for bringing about
this improvement, we know that the
riding public will appreciate it and
that is satisfaction enough for us.
There are a few other things, where
improvements can be made, that the
Press will call attention to, from time
to time, with but the one idea in view,
the betterment of Hamilton.
According to the page advertise
ments and editorials of the R-N,
Hamilton is a pretty good old town
to live in after all. We knew it a
long time ago but the R-N just
WOULDN'T see it. We are surprised
that they got to it so soon.
When ready to make a purchase
brother, look up the advertisers in
the Press, your spokesman and cham
pion. If you never find the ad of the
store you contemplate patronizing,
you can rest assured it is not because
the proprietor or manager of that
store hasn't been solicited, but be
cause he is one of those men who
havn,t any use for a union man other
than the dollar he gets out of him
and hasn,t any use whatever for a
labor paper. He is one of those who
are ever ready to condem you but is
afraid to do so openly because of the
effect it may have on his cash drawer.
All the love this fellow has for you
is wrapped up in the dollars in your
pocket. Think this over brother, pat
ronize the man who patronizes you
and your cause, by advertising in
YOUR paper.
"If now and then men strike for
higher wages, let us not forget that
men of capital have held up the Gov
ernment for profiteering." Sec'y
of the Navy Daniels.
According to one of our evening pa
pers, one of the men who did guard
duty at the woolen mills is consider
ing being a candidate for county
clerk. Our advice is that he keep on
considering for a long time, in fact
until after the election and then for
get it. No doubt the Textile Workers
will be strong for him, very strong.
The way that that machinists un
ion is growing is wonderful. And

their conditions in this city is some
more wonderful. The machinists of
Hamilton haVe now reached that
long looked for goal- the eight-hour
day. It is here to stay. All, the di
rect result of organization.
Politics is a profession only, when
you are on the losing side if you are
with the winners it's business.
Ever
go
down to Lindenwald.
Just pick out some soft day and take
a trip down there. First however
provide yourself with a pair of rub
ber boots, the hip kind. It seems
that every street in the suburb was
torn up for sewers or some other
purpose and all the juice brought to
the top anf left there, until now, even
on a dry day the streets are im
passible. Autoists go miles around
to avoid the mud as it is almost
impossible to get through. If there
should be a good big fire in Linden
wald the fire companies would have
a hard time getting to it. When
the city street department gets to
going right this spring, Lindenwald
is the place it should start on first.

days on account of coal shortage.

Much wonderment was expressed
when it was learned that Director of
Public Safety Grevey, had handed our
old friend "BILL" Yarnell his pass
ports the other day. Many thought
that the city was making this sacri
fice to aid the war department be
cause of "Bill's" well known military
ability, for "Bill," as everyone knows,
is a General or a Major, or a Cor
poral or something like that, but they
were wrong in their conjectures, for
it is said that "Bill" has laid in a
big stock of coal, sleds and wheel
barrows and is figuring on going into
this sort of business. "Bill" always
played heavy with the employers and
the big guns as against the working
man, that was because of his military
standing, and don't be surprised if
you see him doing guard duty "some
where in Hamilton." Good luck,
"Bill."
Gus had to sign some bonds this
week. He's getting pretty well used
to to it now. No doubt he'll have
some to sign shortly, they're way
past duo for an outbreak.
Harry Wardell
Passed Sway,
Was A Member Of The
Bartenders' Union.
Harry Wardell died at 6 o'clock Sat
urday morning of heart disease at his
home, 11 South Front street. He had
been ill only a few days and the sud
denness of his death came as a great
shock to his many friends.
He had been a resident of this city
about fifteen years. He was a staunch
member of the Bartenders' union, al
ways taking active part in its affairs.
He was also a member of Hamilton
Moose, and the West Side Mutual Aid
Society.
Brother Wardell is survived by the
widow to whom the sincerest sym
pathy is extended in the loss of her
husband. Besides the widow of de
ceased there are many relatives and
friends left to mourn his loss.
The funeral was held on Monday
afternoon with Rev. G. S. Gerhold
officiating. The large attendance at
the funeral services and the many
who called at the house of mourning
on Sunday afternoon and evening to
view the remains attested to the pop
ularity of Brother Wardell.
