THE STATE SENATOR
One of the most important offices
to be voted for this fall is that of
state senator. Especially is it im
portant to the workingman to see that
the right kind of man is elected to
this office. The republicans have
nominated a man for senator in this
district that no real union man nor
ny other workingman should vote for.
He has never been friendly to organ
ized labor in fact, he is by utterance
s nd act very unfriendly. He has sev
eral times been a member of the local
typographical union and has been sus
pended, and at the present time has
a heavy fine standing over him in that
organization. This should be enough
information for all union men.

The state's police bill is to come up

legislature and senate. Literature has
come to this office from the commit
tee for Ohio state police condemning
the Ohio Police Chiefs' Association
for refusing to indorse the proposal at
its recent convention in Newark. So
it behooves every workingman to be
careful of his selection of a state
senator and representative this fall,

ROOSEVELT ON UNIONS
"If I were a factory employe,
workingman on the railroads, or
wage earner of any sort, I would un
doubtedly join the union of my
trade. If I disapproved of its policy,
1 would join in order to fight that pol
icy if the union leaders were dishon
est, I would join in order to put them
cut. I believe in the union, and I be
lieve that all men who are benefitted
by the union are morally bound to help
to the extent of their power in the
common interests advanced by the
union."—Theodore Roosevelt.

HARDING NOT A MEMBER
Recent articles in partisan news
papers have sought to convey the im
pression that Senator Harding was a
member of the Typographical Union
The continued publication of these ar
ticles led one of the local printers to
write to international headquarters
and ask to have these reports affirmed
or denied.
The reply was that Mr, Harding
was not and had not been a member
of the organization, but the sugges
tion was made that he might have
been elected an honorary member of
the Marion Union.
Inquiry was then made of the Mar
ion secretary, who replied that Mr.
Harding had never been made any
kind of a member of that local.
At the meeting of the Typograph
ical Union last Sunday, instructions
were given that the newspapers be
i otified that Mr. Harding is not
now nor has he ever been in any way
connected with the Typographical
Union.—The Labor Review, Dayton,
Ohio.

CINCINNATI MACHINISTS
The long strike of the Cincinnati
machinists is ended. Immediately this
i nnouncement was made the anti
unionists joyously proclaimed that the
union men had lost their fight. Not
so. While the union men didn't end
the fight as they hoped they would,
yet they made substantial gains. In
70 of the smaller shops they gained
the wages they sought and in other
shops they caused the abolishment of
the bonus system. Twenty weeks the
striikers held out. Is it to be sup
posed for a moment that the moral
lesson taught the employers during
this time will not rebound to the good
of the workers? Many of the best
mechanics have left Cincinnati never
to return. This alone is a loss to the
shops that will never be repaid, and
will give much food for thought to the
bosses in considering the good of the
employes if differences should arise in
the future. Then too, many of the
old employes will return at increased
wages in fact at the same amount
they struck for. All in all the Cin
cinnati machinists made great gains
in their fight, though some would
have it appear they did not.
The story of the Bevis tavern inci
dent featured in one of the evening
papers Tuesday night was another
display of yellow journalism for which
that paper is fast gaining a reputa
tion. The "big flash" was all un
called for as is borne out by the
statement of all those present at the
dinner. Why, then, should the names
of respectable, prominent citizens be I
dragged in the mire? Just to please
those who like the sensational? Why
didn't the writer of the story tell of
-to-
THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS
all those present, and why they were
there? Why did he mention just
three or four names and give the of
ficial title of those having one and
thereby leave the impression that
these four men were out celebrating
and for a good time? Why didn't he
tell the whole story? It is said, to
the credit of the head of the newspa
per which published the story, by
many of the employes, that had he
been in the city he never would have
countenanced its publication. But he
is to blame in this, that he invests
authority for such work in an irre
sponsible young man whose balance
wheel hasn't had the years of exper
ience one in that position should have.
But to the credit of the average citi
zen, it must be said that the story
was received with disgust and nause
ating effect. Like a bad case of vac
cination, it did not take.
Hissing of the marchers in the La
bor Day parade in Columbus by the
members of the Buckeye Republican
Club because the workers carried ban
ners commending Governor Cox's rec
ord didn't bring Senator Harding a
single vote from the ranks of the
marchers and—a few others.
Older residents will no doubt recall
that many years ago there was a
newspaper man in Hamilton who took
great pleasure in writing articles of
the sensational order and of sug
gestiveness that put a few of the
citizens in an unfavorable light. One
man in particular he went after until
finally he overreached himself and
met the man at High and Journal
square. The newspaper man left the
city almost between two days.
The scabfinder will have to go far
ther than Hamilton to get men to
take the places of the striking union
pressmen in Cincinnati.

New iork.—The high price of gaso
line is reflexed in record-breaking div
idends just announced by Standard
oil companies. In the third quarter
of this year cash dividends totaled
$29,504,575, compared with $27,273,
000 in the second quarter and $23,
354,000 in the corresponding quarter
of 1919. The last disbursement is the
largest ever made by Standard oil
companies in the third quarter and
with the exception of the $30,406,000
paid out in the second quarter of 1916,
it is the largest ever made at any time
since the United States supreme
court "dissolved" the Standard oil
trust.
