HAMILTON GETS
NEXT CONVENTION
Ohio State Federation of
Labor Meets Here Next
Year
mhe
convention of the Ohio Stat-
Federation of Labor which was held
in Dayton all last week, concluded its
business on Saturday. More than 500
delegates attended the annual ses
sion. Of the session, The Labor Re
vie w, in part, says:
"In one very important particular
the convention of the Ohio State Fed
ora* ion of Labor, now in session in
this city, is different from any ever
held—the delegates are more intense.
'•'here seems to be more determina
tion on their part to meet and solve
the problems which will be presented
in a way that will make more easy the
contest which everyone believes cer
taiii political and industrial autocrats
are seeking to bring about.
This attitude is also reflected in the
tn'ks of the speakers and the man
ner in which their remarks are re
Ci-ved. Every delegate appears to be
studying—to be striving to grasp new
ideas and elaborate upon old ones.
There has been no dearth of con
structive talks. Of all the men who
hae appeared before the convention
none commanded more absolutely un
ci. 'ded attention than ex-President
John Voll, when he spoke on the non
partisan plan of the American Feder
ation of Labor. His address might be
said to have been dramatic, as at the
beginning he said that individual feel
ings would not be spared—and they
were not. He reviewed the legisla
tive work of the A. F. of L., and call
ing attention to the fact that every
humanitarian law written on the stat
ute books had been made possible only
thtough the co-operative political ef
fort of organized workers.
No oratory was employed by Mr
Vol: He made a clear, cold-cut state
ment of the facts as they exist, and
tru'xe who may have thought their in
(i'vi:!ual political acumen was greater
titan that of the A. F. of L. had much
to cnink of when he concluded.
II. H. Broach, of the Electrical
Wc rkers, and Andy McAndrews, of th
Tobacco Workers, were also speakers
who received the closest attention.
Out of this convention much is ex
11 cted by the workmen of Ohio, ani
it is not believed they will be disap
pointed."
After much keen competition, Ham
illrn was chosen in which to hold thi
annual convention in 1921. It will
hoi'.', during the first week in October
T' at the fame of Hamilton's lack o
ho*d facilities has traveled far wa^
nrule manifest at this convention
It was the only argument agains'
ITauilton. But the local delegate
assured the convention that there ar
move than 5000 union men in Hamil
ton who will gladly throw open their
'loors and provide lodging and meaK
for the visitors. And Hamilton woi
oui on this assurance.
The delegates who representee
Hamilton at the convention and wer»
successful in bringing the convention
to this city next year are:
Henry
Behcher, of Trades Council Walter
Price, of Iron Molders' Union No. 68
and A. E. Eggleston, of the Carpent
irs' Union.
TRICKY *M£AT TRUST
Again Pulls Wool Over Eye*
of Justice Department
New York.—The New York Worlr'
regrets that the habitual criminal
act
does not apply to corporations. Thi.
paper says the beef trust has agaii
tricked the department of justicr
after it agreed, last December, to sel!
its side lines and confine its activities
to the business of meat packing and
dairy products. In consideration oi
this promise to break up a monopoly,
the department of justice dropped
prosecution for violation of the anti
trust law.
Both parties agreed that the mea*.
packers would submit a plan of dis
solution. After long delay the pack
ers presented their plan, which pro
vides for a holding company, com
posed of persons long associated with
the meat packers. There is nothing
in the plan, says the World, to prevent
the packers from acquiring, if thay
do not already own, a controlling in
trest in the new company.
The government has rejected the
plan, and the World says:
"While this is not the first tiiiie
that the beef trust has tricked the
department of justice, the demonstra
tion of its almost sovereign power to
thwart the government of the United
States even in what might be called
diplomatic negotiations, was never
more startlingly revealed. Every at
tempt at law enforcement in that
quarter has been a failure. When
seemingly cornered, the lawbreaker
lightly suggests new lawbreaking as
a happy solution of a troublesome
controversy. Unfortunately, no ha
bitual criminal act runs against cor
porations."

HOW WORKERS "LOVE'
ALLEN
Pittsburg, Kan. "The greatest
question of importance is the defeat of
Henry J. Allen for governor and the
Allenized state legislature," says the
Workers' Chronicle, published in this
city.
"The only way to accomplish the
repeal of the infamous political court
of industrial relations is to kick every
Allen adherent out of office and elect
men on November
2
who will see that
the workers are treated fairly and not
coerced by a court of politicians and
corporation leeches.
"The only way to defeat Alienism
is to get into the field and tell the
voters outside of labor organizations
just what kind of a gold brick Allen is.
LOOK A THESE PRICES!
Just study over the above offerings.
"Speakers should be sent out to all
rural districts to tell the truth the
poison put out by the lying pree.
must be overcome."

TEXTILE WORKERS
Manchester, N. H.—A membership
gain of 55,000 in one year was an
nounced by President Golden at the!
annual convention of the United Tex-!

membership is 105,000. The delegates
arc determined to push their organi

Men who are dreamers sometimes,

thinirs, but not if they do their .dream

That is the question, workingman!
You are prosperous now wages are
high, employment is plentiful—the war
boom is still on. The floodgates of Euro
pean competition have not yet opened.
America is selling to the markets of the
world.
But What of Tomorrow?
Do you know that the Wilson adminis
tration with its Underwood tariff has
leveled the wall of protection upon which
the very life of our industries depends?
That under Democratic tariff policies our
industries stand defenseless against low
wage Europe? That as soon as the war
torn nations get upon their feet, their
commodities will pour into this country
like a deluge?
What then of American
factories
Do you know that Democratic policies
give American labor no protection from
the competition of the pauper-labor of
Europe and Asia?.. That the inevitable
