During the industrial strife in this
City last summer and fall the Repub
lican-News was very bitter against
the strikers. Upholding the manufac
turer and condemning the strikers at
every turn. Making it appear that
the manufacturers wore wings and
the strikers wore horns. Many citi
zens at the time, wondered at the
bitter attitude of the Republican
News against the strikers. But
those who knew, didn't wonder. The
Press, it will be recalled, stated at
the time that the owners of the plants
where the strikes were on, also owned
the Republican-News. How near we
came to being right in our assertion
is borne out in the staterhent of
ownership and circulation as publish
ed by the Republican-News two weeks
ago.

VOL. XVII NO. 52. HAMILTON, OHIO, FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1918. 75 cents PER YEAR

was some justification for that feel
ing. But I am pleased to relate that
labor is fast coming into possession
of its own, and during recent months
has made strides towards the goal of
its ambition with more rapidity than
ever dreamt of before.
War, like politics, makes strange
bed fellows. Today, we find Dem
ocrats, Republicans and Socialists
acting in unison on questions of great
moment, and this is as it should he
if the privileges that we as a nation
have enjoyed are to be preserved and
perpetuated for those who are to fol
low us.
The Creator who made the material
elements of different values, who cre
ated flowers of various sweetness,
and birds of diverse plumage, made
men of different moulds and destined
for different work in this busy world.
The architect may plan, the man
ager may direct, the sun may shine,
and the land may be fertile, but the
hand and brain of the laborer must
respond before results desired shall
be attained. Therefore, it is highly
essential that the working people of
this country should be consulted when
dealing with all of the great problems
that confront our government and our
industries which are valueless with
out labor. It is indeed fortunate that
we have the benefit of the experience
that has come to England, France and
other countries, and we must profit
by it.
When the United States finally en
tered the conflict it made the fifteenth
nation to become involved and the
struggle is of such importance that
it is imperative that we have co-oper
ation. The inventive genius of the
age has spanned the distance between
widely seperated nations by the use of
the submarine, airships, wireless tel
egraphy and other inventions, and one
cannot tell just when we may hear
that submarines are throwing shells
against our seaport towns.
The men at the forge and in the
many industrial shops following their
ordinary labors are just as important
to the success of the United States
in this conflict as are the men on the
firing line, because food, clothing and
supplies of different character must
be furnished the men who are making
the supreme sacrifice for the securing
as well as the perpetuating of liberty
for the benefit of all mankind.
The position of labor in this conflict
is in accord with the action of those
in charge of our government so long
as they deal justly with labor, and
present indications are that we will
have justice extended to us and those
whom we represent.
But changes are coming with such
rapidity that we can hardly keep a
breast of them. Many of them are
necessary and we must become adapt
ed to them and, at the same time
try to minimize errors in making the
changes.
Not so many years ago a man by
the name of G. S. Hamilton, located
in Sacho, Maine, was boycotted for
the reason that he placed a girl to
clerk in his store, the people of those
times resenting it. What would they

say if they returned today and found
women in the various occupations in
which they are now employed and
dressed in male attire?
Less than six years ago, a court in
the city of Cincinnati decided that
the fingers from the hand of a woman
were worth but 50 cents apiece be
cause their loss was due to contribu
tory negligence. But thank God, that
condition has changed, and in its place
has come the Workmen's Campensa
tion Law, Mothers' Pension and many
other changes for the benefit of the
working people.
To my mind there are three things
very essential for the success of our
government in this war, and for the
perpetuation of liberty and harmon^
at home.
First. There must be co-operation
secondly, co-operation must be secur
ed without lowering the standards of
labor, and without annulling the laws
that have been placed on the statue
books of States and nation for the
benefit of the working people thirdly
we must see that undue profits are
not made from the sacrifices of hu
manity by the profiteers of our time
In other words, our aim should be to
retain as nearly as possible the gen
eral conditions that prevailed in this
country prior to the war. That is
excessive profits should be prohibited
and the conditions of all the people
should be on the same baises :is they
were before the war.
While the workers seek justice, so
must they be willing to accord jus
tice to the manufacturers in order that
there will be a fair return for the
capital invested and energy expended
for any other course is wrong and
wrong cannot long endure.
Practically every commission of
any importance created by our gov
ernment has attached to it a repi'e
sentative of labor, and through the
efforts of those men much has been
accomplished.
Are you aware that the mines
the vicinity of Globe, Arizona, are
practically under the control of our
government, and present indications
are that a satisfactory solution for
the unrest prevailing there for years
has been discovered.
Strange ideas, hopes and aspira
tions will arise in the breast of men
Some times we get our minds set on
a certain problem and we cannot re
cognize or appreciate the position of
others but frequently this is due to
the fact that we have undertaken to
deny others the right to give vent to
their feelings. This is wrong, and by
following a course of that character
we can never secure co-operation in
the fullest sense of the word.
Many disputes will arise that must
be settled, and I agree with Presi
dent Wilson when he said:
"That a settlement is always bard
to avoid when the parties can be
brought face to face," providing each
side is willing to be just. Continuing
he said:
"I can differ from a man much
more radically when he is not in the
room than I can when he is in the
room, because then the awkward
thing is he can come back at me and
answer what I say. It is always dan
gerous for a man to have the floor
entirely to himself therefore, we
must insist in every instance that the
parties come into each others' pres
ence and there discuss the issue be
tween them and not separately in
places which have no communication
with the other."

has forwarded this telegram to Gov
ernor Stephens of California:
"With all of the facts of the mis
trial in the case of Tom Mooney be

before me, and inasmuch as the en
tire situation is in your hands to dis

San Francisco.—Mrs. Reno Mooney
has been released on $15,000 bail after
20 months' imprisonment. She was
released on her own recognizance on
other indictments growing out of the
preparedness day bomb cases, last
year. After Mrs. Mooney was ac
quitted, she was held in jail by Judge
Dunne until the state supreme court,
in the case of Israel Weinberg, an
other defendant, gave a basis for her
admission to bail. She is the third
of the five bomb defendants out on
bail. Edward Nolan was never brought
to trial, and is out on bail. Israel
Weinberg was acquitted on the
This is logic, and if fairness encir
cles the hearts of men and they come
together and take into consideration,
first, the interest of our government
and our people, and then the perpet
uation of liberty, I feel that the dis
putes that arise between us can be
well disposed of without any serious
interruption to the industries of our
country, and a co-operation will be a
fact and not a theory.
Any other course would mean that
we are slacking on our brothers at
the front. WThen this war is over let
it be said that we made the effort to
do unto others as we would have
others do unto us if our positions
were reversed, and in this spirit I
appeal to every man, woman and
child within the hearing of my voice
to hold their balance and contribute
their mite to make the world a bet

shall again reign.

Governor Stephens for a pardoon as
a result of the state supreme court's
