NEW BATTERY
To Be Known as The P. & R.
—Now Ready For
Business
Thomas Pressman and Randolph
Ridenauer have formed a partnership
under the name of the P. & R. Battery
Company, and will engage in the bat
tery and automobile electrical repair
work on a large scale. Mr. Pressman
is the well known proprietor of Press
man's store at 36 High street, and Mr.

has been handling the Philadelphia
battery on South Front street.
The large brick building at 18, 15

and extensive improvements are now
being made, which when completed
will give Hamilton an up-to-date bat
tery station where new batteries may
be obtained with a positive guarantee
of eighteen months' satisfactory ser
vice. Later on it is the intention of
this company to manufacture their
own batteries under the supervision of
Mr. Ridenauer, who is an expert in
the battery business, having been en
gaged in this work for many years.
A full line of tires and automobile ac
cessories will also be carried.
Albert Guckquesne, of the Fisher
Griffin Company, of Cincinnati, and
Jake Pressman, of this city, will be
connected with the new enterprise,
in the j^attery department, and will

"OPEN" SHOP IS TRICK
TERM
Clinton, Iowa.—In an address to the
Tri-city labor congress President Can
field, of the Iowa State Federation of
Labor, called upon unionists to aban
don the use of the term "open" shop,
so widely favored by cheap labor em
ployers.
He declared that the term "open"
shop was a misnomer, and its use
misleading. In theory and practice
it mean the non-union shop with the
workers at the mercy of unfair em
ployers, who could take advantage of
the necessities and conditions of em
ployes to impose any condition on
them.
MAY DROP PIECE WORK
Chicago.—Officers of the Cigar
Makers' International Union are call
ing attention to production changes
in this industry that makes it neces
sary for these workers to give
thought to the idea of changing the
rate of pay from piece work to a day
or week rate.
It is stated that with the introduc
tion of machines the cigar maker is
becoming a specialist, and under this
system he rarely learns the trade in
its entirety.

Lodge Will Try For Thirty
Five Hundred Roster
The local lodge of Moose, although
the largest lodge in the city, has in
augurated a campaign to increase its
present membership roll to 3500. The
lodge now has more than 3000 mem
bers. The initiation fee is to be $5 00.
The campaign is to run for 60 days,
closing September 10. It is desired
to get 500 applications during this
campaign. The aim is to get 500 ap
plications by August 10 and 300 more
by September 10.
The campaign is in charge of Stan
ley Ogg, president of Trades Council,
George Wiseman of the Economy shoe
store, and William "Daddy" Welsh,
secretary of the lodge. These cap
tains are old-time generals when it
comes to leading a campaign, and
they say the mark of 500 is too easy
—that they will come nearer the 1000
mark.

"Meet Me At Frechtling's Corner"
DEMAND DEMOCRACY
G.ilesburg, 111.—At the largest
mass meeting of workers ever held in
this city strong ground was taken
against the present movement of anti
trade unionists who insist on dealing
with employes as individuals. These
emp'oyers are resorting to the usual
high-scunding phrases about "lib
erty" and "Americanism" to conceal
their opposition to collective bargain
ing, the first step toward democracy
in industry.
This fight is being waged around
the local telephone company, which
has refused to deal collectively with
its telephone operators or its electrical
workers.

WASTE OF WOMAN
POWER
Great Menace to Rural Life
of Nation
Washington.—The waste of woman
power is one of the greatest menaces
to the rural life of the nation, accord
ing to deductions that specialists of
the department of agriculture draw
from a farm-home survey conducted
in the 33 northern and western states.
The records cover 10,015 farm homes.
The survey discloses a number of
reasons why many women do not find
farm life attractive. The working day
of the average farm woman, as shown
by the survey, is 11.3 hours the year
round. In summer it is 13.12 hours,
and out of each 100 women 87 have
no regular vacation during the year.
On the average, the farm woman can
find only 1.6 hours of leisure during
the summer and 2.4 hours in the win
ter. Half of the farm women are up
and at work at 5 o'clock in the morn
ing.
"At a time like this, when the
dearth of farm labor is a limiting fac
tor in production," says the report,
"it is very doubtful business policy for
farmers to use increased income to
"buy more land instead of using a part
of it in raising standards of living so
that women and young people will not
want to go to the cities in search of
attractive living conditions and
amusement."
