LEHMKUHL ONE
OF COMMITTEE
Prepare Resolutions on
Death of Mrs*
Gompers
J. Edward Lehmkuhl, Who returned
last week from Pittsburg, where he
attended the twenty-fifth annual con
vention of the American Federatio i
of Musicians, reports that the conven
tion was the greatest ever held by
the organization. Over five hundred
delegates attended from all parts of
the United States and Canada. Mr.
Lehmkuhl was signally honored by
appointment by National Presiddent
Weber on the committee to draft res
olutions on the death of Mrs. Gom
pers, wife of Samuel Gompers, presi
I dent of the American Federation of
I Labor. The committee reported the
following resolutions, which were
adopted by silent rising vote, the con
vention remaining standing for thirty
seconds:
Whereas, The Father Supreme in
His wisdom, has called to rest Mrs.
Samuel Gompers and,
Whereas,^Mr. Samuel Gompers, for
more than a generation has been
president of the American Federation
of Labor, devoting constant and in
creasing vigorous attention, labor and
effort to the uplift of humanity and
as such a very highly esteemed and
respected brother and,
Whereas, In the passing of Mrs.
Gompers, a loving wife, and a faithful
and true companion through many
years of success, failure, adversity,
encouragement, clouds and sunshine,
he has suffered an irreparable loss,
With the thought that there is no hu
man balm for wounds so deep, nor
i loss so great, yet in time like this it
should be a consolation to hin\ to
know that there are those whose sym
i pathy for him in his hour of bereave
ment is deep, sincere and true, and
who would most gladly share his sor
row
Therefore, Be it resolved:
That this Twenty-fifth Annual Con
vention of the American Federation
of Musicians, now assembled, extend
to Mr. Samuel Gompers, its deepest
and most sincere heartfelt sympathy
for the lamentable loSs of his dearly
beloved wife, having full confidence
that the Father Supreme will keep
Hter in safety to the end of that jour
ney where we shall all meet forever
move in a life of beauty and sun
shine, and of richest harmonies, which
never can have the tinge of sorrow,
but groweth brighter through all
eternity.
May the precious memories of her
appease the longing for a touch of
a vanished hand and the sound of a
voice that is still.
Bowing to His will, We offer sol
emn and silent prayer.
May her soul rest in peace.
Be it further resolved, That a copy
of this resolution, suitably transcrib
ed, be delivered to Mr. Samuel Gom
pers and that a copy thereof be spread
on the minutes of this convention.

BUTLER COUNTY PRESS.
WORLD CLAD IN
SHODDY
Chicago.—The world wears shoddy
wool, while storehouses are bursting
with virgin wool, according to
THE "PRIZE"
figures
compiled by the national sheep and
wool bureau of America. There are
more than 1,265,000,000 pounds of
virgin wool in the world's storehouses
and this year's clip will increase these
holdings.
In spite of the high price of wool
fabrics, American storehouses con
tained 700,000,000 pounds of virgin
wool last September, 10 months after
the signing of the armistice, or 100,
000,000 pounds more than the coun
rty's annual consumption.
The sheep and wool bureau is at
tempting to secure the passage of i
"truth-in-fabric" bill, now pending in
congress. The bill is designed to com
pel manufacturers to stamp "wool"
cloth with the percentage of shoddy
or cotton used in its manufacture
Shoddy is made from woolen rags.
"The reason huge stocks of virgin
wool are now lying in storehouses
unmanufactured," said Secretary
Greene, of the sheep and wool bureau,
"is that the use of unidentified shoddy
enables manufacturers to make more
money.
"Tha purchaser buys his 'all woo]
clothing without knowing that he i
gettting old rags respun, and pays vir
gin wool prices.
"Manufacturers should be compel!
ed to come out in the open and tel
what their goods are made of. Then
people who want virgin wool, an-1
are willing to pay for virgin wool,
can fret honest cloth, and goods
made
of shoddy will take its rightful place
and price and can no longer masquer
ade as virgin wool, if the 'truth-in-fab
ric' bill is passed by congress."

Washington.—The New York Trib
une has been conducting a republican
platform contest, and nearly 8,00
persons have presented their views on
a platform that should be adopted by
that party.
Last Sunday the Tribune printe 1
the platform, which is taken from sug
gestions of 10 contestants.
The combination is called "the priz.'
platform," and it surely is—as far a
labor is concerned, for it favors anti
strike laws, compulsory arbitration
and incorporation of trade unions
The suggestion was offered by W.
Fisher, instructor of English, Prince
ton University, and is as follows:
"Capital and Labor—We recogniz
as indisputable the right of labor to
organize and to bargain collectively,
but not to strike when such action vio
lates the law or menaces public wel
fare. To protect the nation as a
whole from injury by controversies
which concern directly only a small
minority, we pledge the enactment of
legislation to increase the accounta
bility of both unions and employers
and to compel arbitration of those dis
putes which affect the production and
distribution of the necessities of life."

Anxious to Work But Oper

Indianapolis. The United Mine
Workers' Journal protests against the
Black Diamond, a leading coal trade}
publication, calling on the miners to
"dig coal." This publication blames
the coal miners for present conditions
and the labor publicaton says:
"We have been wonderng just howj
the Black Diamond, would feel if it
were to take a notion to be honest
with its readers in matters dealing
with the coal miners. The Black Dia
mond is so rigorously hidebound in its
oppostion to everything that would be
fair to the miners that it apparently
is unable to see the truth.
"The Black Diamond knows that the
coal miners of this country are idle
because there is no work for them to
do. They are not idle because they
wish to loaf.
''They do not want to loaf. They
want to work. They are willing to
work. They are anxious to work, but
the mines are not in operation. When
the mines do not operate the miners
cannot work. The mines are idle.
That is not the fault of the miners.
If the operators will keep their mines
in operation the miners will dig all the
coal that anyone could possibly ask
for.
"All the operators need to do to
make sure of an ample coal production
is to operate their mines and give the
miners a chance to work."
BUILDINC'PROGRAM
TO SLOW DOWN
Due, It is Said, To Increased
Interest Rates on Money
It is rumored that the building pro
gram which had such flourishing start
in Hamilton may slow down. This, so
n is said, is due to increased interest
tes for money borrowed. It is said
11.at two of the local building associa
ns already demand seven per cent
Merest on the money they loan and
i at the rate may go to eight cents
li this is true, it will be a great blow

that it is likely that his firm will not
carry out the extensive building pro
gram it had contemplated for this
city.
This will be a big disappointment
to the many homeseekers in Hamilton,
and the news that the building asso
ciations contemplate increasing the
interest rates on money for home
building purposes will come as a great
surprise to the Hamilton citizens who
were induced to place their money in
the various associations for this pur
pose. They believed that all this
money would be available for home
building at the old rate of six per
