ficcs Named By Party.
John M. Cahalane is to head the
socialist ticket this fall. This was
determined at the convention of the
Hamilton Socialist party held last
Sunday. It was an all day session.
The convention was held for the pur
pose of nominating candidates for the
city officers to be elected at the elec
tion to be held in November. Caha
lane was nominated for mayor. A
full ticket for all offices was named.
The ticket nominated was as fol

Clifford W. King president of coun

What was easily the biggest meet
ing, outside a mass meeting ever held
l5^ the Carpenters and Joiners Local
Union No. 6?7, was the one held by
that organization on last Thursday
night. The hall was literally packed
and the "standing room only" sign
was hung out early.
Carpenters' Union
A great amount of routine business
was transacted and a big class initi
ated. Twelve members of the craft
from outside locals came in on clear
ance cards.# Several new applications
were read.
Swain Corson, business agent of the
organization during the past year,
was unanimously elected to serve an
other year. Brother Corson has been
a faithful and efficient official and is
more than deserving of the honor of
re-election.
Brother Corson reported that the
outlook for building conditions and for
the members of the craft is brighter
today than ever in the history of the
organization. He said Hamilton is

Several prominent members of the
party have been mentioned as pos
sible nominees for the office of mayor
and many thought that former Mayor
Fred Hinkel would be named to again
head the ticket of the party but the
local saw otherwise. There is no mis
taking the fact that in John Cahalane
the party has named one of its strong
est men to head its ticket. "Johnny"
as he is best known, is very popular
with all those who know him and is
vefry prominent in the molders and
machinists organizations, both of
which he has been affiliated with,
and is likely to make it interesting
for the nominees for the office of
mayor of the democratic and repub
lican parties.
to witness the greatest building boom
in its history during the coming spring
and summer. The demand for carpen
ters right now, in the very heart of
winter, is greater than the supply.
This despite the fact that there are
more than 150 outside carpenters in
the city who have come into the or
ganization on clearance cards during
the past four months. A situation
such as this never existed in Hamil
ton before. One can get a faint idea
of the amount of building and improv
ing that is going to be done here dur
ing this year when it is figured that
there now is 150 outside carpenters
in the city, all employed, and it is ex
pected that this number will be in
creased to more than three hundred
by April 1st, together with nearly 200
local men will make the total number
of carpenters in the city during the
summer more than five hundred. Then
one must not forget that in addition
to carpenters there will be the brick
layers, iron workers, plumbers, plas­
ies
terers, painters, electrical workers,
cement workers, laborers, etc., so that
in all there will be 1200 to 1500 men
engaged in the building line alone in
Hamilton. And business agent Cor
son gives assurance that all these will
be kept busy and many more if they
can be secured.
The East Vine Street improvement
is progressing nicely. The frame
work on the first one of the new homes
in this addition was started on a week
ago last Monday. An attempt is be
ing made to have 75 foundations in
here by spring. It is said that the
company back of the Vine street im
provement contemplate the erection
of 350 homes in that locality alone.
In addition to the above the Ham
ilton Home Building Company will
build many new homes, the big Ford
plant will be started on about March
1st, the Long & Allstatter Co., are
now making a big addition to their
plant on North Fourth Street and
will make extensive improvements on
the old McNeal & Urban plant on the
West Side in which they will manu
facture agricultural implements and
several other of our factories are
going to build big additions to their
plants. It is also said that their will
be a big ice and storage plant erect
ed in Hamilton during the coming
summer.
In addition to the above many work
ingmen are going to build their own
homes. All in all the situation was
never brighter for the building trades
of Hamilton than they are at the
present.
N
Times Are
Changing
Organized Labor Gaining Fast
In Open Shop City of
Los Angeles.
Los Angeles,—This city has boast
ed of the fact that it i3 an open shop
city where the newspaper editorials
are inspired by the advertisements
and the advertisers are controlled by
the merchants' and manufacturers'
association, whose only legitimate ex
cuse for
%existance
is to circumvent
the organization of labor unions, in
crease hours and reduce pay of the
wage earner. Recently the worker
has been aroused to the danger by
which he is surrounded and is moving
along on safe and sane lines at a rate
of speed hardly to be believed by the
doubting Thomases in and out of the
rank's of organized labor. The fact
has been brought home to the more
astute business men of the city that
a $6 a day worker is more profitable to
the interests of the city than a $3 a
day man and also that the Saturday
half holiday has increased the buying
opportunities of the wealth producers
by gi\ring them more time to make
their purchases.

BLOOD MONEY
Totaling $100,000,000 Paid
To N. Y, Milk Trust
In Two Years.
Thousands Of Children Died
In This Time Because Of
High Price of Nourishment.
New York.—Following the refusal
of the federal food board to give fur
ther consideration to milk prices in
New York, Mayor Hylan issued a
statement in which he praised the dis
trict attorney for his efforts in the
milk investigation now in progress,
and asserted that the price of milk
could be materially reduced.
"When we find men combining to ex
tort blood money at the expense of
little children," the mayor said, "then
it is time for public officials to per
sistently pursue these culprits to the
end that the violators of the law pay
the penalty, the price of milk be re
duced and the lives of little children
saved."
In a letter which Mayor Hyland
wrote to the district attorney on De
cember 16, he asserted that the "pro
ducers and distributors' milk trust has
arbitrarily taxed the people of New
York city in the neighborhood of
$100,000,000 within two years," and
that "thousands of children, through
the lack of nourishmen, have died be
cause their parents could not provide
sufficient milk for them on account
of the exhorbitant prices." Mayor
Hyland assured the district attorney
that any legislation he might desire
£o "put and end to this extortion
would have the approval of Governor
elect Smith.

Union's Wage
Accepted By Quaker City's
Non-Union Rapid Transit Co.
Philadelphia,—The non-union rapid
transit company has entered into a
bargaining scheme with its employes
which provides that wages shall be
equal to the average of those paid
motormen, conductors and other em
ployes in Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo
and Cleveland.
The humorous feature of the agree
ment is that these four cities are 100
per cent organized by the Amalgamat
ed Association of Street and Electric
Railway Employes. The company re
fuses to recognize the bona fide union
but accepts standards that trade
unionists establish.
Arbitration proceedings, along the
line of John D. Rockefeller's "union,
are provided and a system of insur-

ance and sick benefits are worked out.
Each employe is insured for $1,000 &
is paid $1.50 a day for 100 days in a
year for illness after the first eight
days. The employe pays $12 a year
for these benefits and the company
pays $120,000 a year, which averages
about $12 each for the 10,000 employes
A pension of $40 a month is guaran
teed to all employes who have reached
the age of 65 and who have been in
the company's employ 25 years.
There is not much danger, however
5f men losing this pension because of
strikes for the organized street car

will take all the chances in setting
wage rates and the rapid transit
promises to abide by the victories or
