WM. SIEKMAN
Now Business Agent of
Painters' Union
Several v.-eeks back the Painters,
Decorators and Paper Hangers' Union
decided it was time to put some life
and 'pep' into the affairs of the or
ganization, and started off by electing
William Siekman as its business agent
and representative. The organization
didn't know .at the time that was
•tirring up a hornet's nest, but that is
just what it did. With "Bill" on the
job, that meant something stirring.
Every one in Hamilton, -hat is, those
Interested in the paint line, contract
ors, paint merchants, members of the
union, those having work done—all
know before this that Siekman is the
business agent of the painters' organ
"Bill" believes in running things ac
ization and looking after its affairs,
cording to Hoyle. With Siekman as
business agent and Lester Long as
secretary, the painters, decorators
And paper hangers' organization ha3
two live wires always on the job.
Business Agent Siekman reports
conditions good at the present time
for members of the craft, with nearly
all working and plenty of work in
sight.

tales out of school" when he calls
on directors of corporations to "di
rect" the affairs of these institutions.
The theory that these directors are
supermen is shattered by the writer,
who makes this significant state
ment:
"Directors should direct.' They
should be compiled to retain a cer
^iin amount of stock to hold their
positions.
"Anyone who think? that the 'in
siders' in a great corporation whose
business has slumped, whose inven
tory has been swollen in an attempt
to maintain work in anticipation of
an immediate resumption of business,
necessitating big bank loans, are so
conscientious that they will not take
advantage of their first knowledge of
these affairs to reduce their holdings,
is giving weak human nature too much
credit.
"Stockholders in a corporation are
unquestionably entitled to something
more in the way of protection for
their investments than that furnished
by the annual meeting, always sparse
ly attended, and the annual reports
of the directors and officials who have
been advanced to their positions as
'insiders' largely by the proxy vote."
REFUSE TO CONFER
Raleigh, N. C.—Non-union contract

mayor of this city to confer with em

of the contractors refused to acknowl

THREE PRESIDENTS
ASK AID FOR CHINA
Harding,
Wilson
and
to
Taft Appeal
Americans to Help Stricken
Millions
of
Sister Republic.
The President and two ex-Presidents
of the United States have joined, for
the first time In the history of the
country, In an appeal for a philan
thropic enterprise. President Hard ng,
ex-President Wilson and ex-President
Taft are all in the forefront of the
movement to send aid from America to
the famine victims of China.
One of Pies dent Harding's first offi
cial acts after his inauguration, taken
when he had been In the White House
less than two weeks, was to renew the
appeal made by his predecessor in be
half of America's sister republic in the
East. President Hlml'ng said in part:
'At this, the earliest practicable mo
ment In my administration, I desire to
adfl my own to the many appeals
which have been issued heretofore in
behalf of the starving people of a large
sect1on of China.
"The picture of China's distress Is
so tragic that I am moved, therefore,
to renew the appeal heretofore madfe
and to express the hope that the Amer
ican people will continue to contribute
to this humanitarian cause as gener
ously as they possibly can."
In appo'ntlng the American commit*
tee for China Famine Fund, with hl8
own immediate predecessor In the
White House, ex-President Taft, as
one of the members, and Thomas W.
Lamont of New York, as chairman,
President Wilson said In, his procla
mation
"Not only In the name of humanity,
but in that of the friendliness which
we feel for a great people in distress,
I venture to ask that our clt'zens shall,
even though the task of giving is not
today a light one, respond as they can
to this distant but appealing cry for
help."
LIFE SAVING STAMPS

Sales of "Life Saving Stamps" by
the American Committee for China

famine victims have reached a total of
thousands of dollars at the end of the
first month, and already the money is

each stamp—$30U,iM) for the Chinese
when the complete returns have been
made. The stamps are intended to se
cure a multitude of small contribu
tions from persons who will not have
an opportunity to contribute in other
ways. The campaign for China is the
greatest single philanthropic effort
now before the American people.
Every state In the Union Is now co
operat ng in the life saving stamp
sales, and special committees are at
work In more than 2.000 cities through
out the country. The circulation of
the stamps is being effected by sales
organizations composed of officers of
the Woman's Foreign Miss'onary So
cieties, assisted by commercial organi
zations, schools, churches. Hoy and
Girl Scout Camps, Y. M. and Y. W.
Christian Associations, fraternal
lodges, hotel assoc ations, boards of
education and other volunteers inter
ested In the movement to extend a
helping hand to a sister republic in dis
tress.
House to house canvassing for the
sale of the stamps—which are intended
to be placed on the backs of letters and
packages—has proved the most effe
tlve method In the smaller commun
ties. In the big cities the stamps have
been sold to business houses, which
are using them on their outgoing mail
and packages. A nominal quota of ten
stamps for every adult has been set by
the committee, but In many centers
this already has been passed. If un

committee write China Famine Fund

"School boards in South Dakota,"

"have already voted substantial cuts in
pay, and the subject of salary reduction
is under discussion in Ohio, Nebraska,
Illinois and Washington. The sever
est handling yet on record has been
given the teachers of the Platte line
schools of South Dakota where the
organized school boards have slashed
pay 25 per cent of the 1920 schedules.
"The inevitable result of such short
sightedness will be that still more
teachers will leave the profession of
teaching or shift from the grammar
schools to the better paid high school
positions. Nebraska, where salary
reduction is under contemplation,
