OLD-TIME EUCHRE
Being Arranged For By Re
tail Clerks
Local Retail Clerks' Union No. 119
is rapidly tehaping up into line ar
rangements for a big euchre which
will be held in Walnut Aid hall, South
Second street, on Wednesday, January
31. This euchre is to be one of the
old-time affairs at which everybody
has a good time and goes back home
hoping the giver repeats in a short
time. The euchres given by the local
counter jumpers" last winter proved
so popular that there isn't any doubt
whatever as to the attendance to be
looked for at next Wednesday night's
affair. Prizes, only such as the
clerks' euchres are noted for, will be
again provided in great profusion.
Everybody is welcome to attend.
If You Consent

strength of our advertised assur
ances that our goods are good, we
would like to have it understood
that we stand ready to back up
these assurances by acts of good

Back on Job As Compensa
tion Claims Investigator
W. HARRY oP&ARS
W. Harry Spears will again act as
special investigator of claims for
workmen's compensation in this dis
trict. He received word of his ap
pointment by H. R. Witter, director
of the department of industrial rela
tions, on Thursday morning, with in
structions to report in Columbus at
once. Several weeks ago Mr. Spears
took the examination required for
this position, and of the twelve par
ticipants in the examination he fin
ished first with a grade of a little
more than 90. This certainly speaks
well for his fitness for the position.
Harry Spears' return to the posi
tion formerly held by him as claims
investigator is l-eceived with gladness
by the workers and is good news for
the injured and dependents on those
killed. When in this position before,
Mr. Spears was rated as one of the
best claims investigators in the de
partment, and every claimant received
fully what was due them. He was
let out for political reasons only, to
make room for a republican. As
stated, the workers in this district
are glad to see him back on the job,
and the Press extends congratulations
and best wishes for as good perform
ance of duty in the future as in the
past. More, we can't ask.
RETAILCLERK3
Hold Fine Meeting and Add
Six to Roster
Under the able leadership of their
live president, Ray Wunderlich, Re
tail Clerks' Union, Local No. 119, is
certainly going some these days. The
organization held one of the best
meetings it has ever held in its long
history on Monday night in the labor
temple. The membership roll was in
creased six, four by initiation and two
by reinstatement." President Wunder
lich is determined that every clerk in
the city, employed in union stores and
coming under the jurisdiction of the
Clerks' Union, must take out union
membership or that store in which
the clerk is employed will have its
union card removed and the store will
no longer be considered as fair to
organized labor.
President Wunderlich also reported
having signed up two more stores
which will display the card in the fu
ture and be conducted under union
conditions. They are Fred W. Wag
ner Piano Company, South Second
street, and the Arcade jewelry store,
South Third street. The president fur
ther reported that the Newark shoe
^tore has signed agreement with the
organization and is again entitled to
union men's trade.
Arrangements were completed for
the big euchre which the union will
nold on Wednesday night, January
41, at Walnut Aid hall.
The secretary reported that several
tores are employing clerks on what
they call part-time plan. That is, the
ilerk works in the store several
veeks and attends a sales instruction
chool in Cincinnati several weeks.
These clerks do not take out union
nembership. The secretary was in
tructed to obtain all information on
he matter and report next meeting
night.
Three new applications for mem
ership were read and referred.
LOUIS KREBS IN
FURNITURE MARKET
Louis Krebs, of the George Krebs
ons furniture store, is in Chicago's
ig furniture markets this week pur
hasing furniture for George Krebs
on's spring and summer trade. Mr.
Krebs, with his brother Adolph, made
complete inspection of the Grand
apids, Mich., markets last week and
purchased heavily which, together
with additions from the Chicago mar
ket secured by Mr. Krebs during this
week, will make the George Krebs
Sons furniture stock one of the larg
est and most complete in the city.
NEVER SO WEALTHY
New York.—The annual list of
trust companies in this country
shows that these financial instiutions
were never so wealthy or so powerful.
Their total resources on June 30 last
were nearly $12,000,000,000. This is
more than a quarter of a billion dol
ars in excess of the previous high
mark.
A sturdy Scotchman had been hav

THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS
Baerfacts
If the voters do not know
what they want, how can
they expect their Congress
men to stand for anything?
The Big Boys know what
they want. Through their
press, they control public
opinion to such an extent
that when a Congressman
takes a stand--he loses his
SEAT.
Who said the administra
tion did not carry out its
platform? It never promised
to do anything!
It is time to reform the
platforms.
If all the political jobs
were handed out during a
certain hour at a central of
fice, it would give the sight
seers in Washington a splen
did chance to see all the
prominent people.
It will soon be as danger
ous in Europe as it is riding
on broken-down scab trains
in America.
The strikebreakers put in
long hours—in the sleeping
cars.
A company is known by
the scabs it keeps.
UNIFYING WORKERS
Washington.—The A. F. of L. ex
ecutive council calls on the trade
union movement to aid in the amal
gamation of the International
Brotherhood of Steam Shove 1 and
Dredgemen with the International
Union of Steam and Operating En
gineers. The executive council's ef
forts have failed. The council re
minds the trade union movement that
"neither the Brotherhood of Steam
Shovel and Dredgemen, as such, nor
any of its local unions, is entitled to
representation in any state federation
of labor or central labor union."
The council states that during the
recent miners' strike the brotherhood
"manifested and maintained such an
unfriendly attitude toward the strik
ing miners as impelled the officers of
the United Mine Woi'kers to protest
to the executive council."
WHERE SOME PROFITS
GO
Washington.—Howard E. Cole, third
vice president of the Standard Oil
Company of New York, told a senate
committee his salary for 1922 was
$47,500, for 1921 was $42,000, and for
1919 was $35,000. Howard A. Wilker
son, a director of the company, said
his salary was $32,000 in 1922, $27,500
the year previous and $18,000 two
years ago.
A. E. Hinch, controller of the cor
poration, said that the profits of the
company approximated $253,817,550
since 1911, when the United States
supreme court "smashed" the Stand
ard oil trust.
WHITEWASH MINE
OWNERS
Sacramento, Cal.—A committee ap
pointed by the governor to investigate
the Argonaut mine horror, which re
sulted in the death of two score of
miners, has made its expected re
port—a minor official is slapped on
the wrist, but the committee wants
it understood that this is but a ges
ture, as it feels it "cannot unduly
censure anybody."
The horror will be quickly forgotetn
by everyone except organized labor,
which will fight for laws to prevent
the Argonaut affair being duplicated.
WAITING TO MURDER
Marion, 111.—At the trial of the five
men in connection with the Herrin
mob the defense read a letter from
Sherman Holmes, one of the mine
guards, who said: "We get $12 a day
and are under contract for 90 days.
We sit here on an eight-hour shift
watching for some one to stick his
head over the mountain or out of the
woods so as to give us a little prac
tice in shooting."
The guard further said they had 10
guns that each shoot 600 shots a min
ute. There are 100 guards, he said,
with rifles that shoot three miles.
MORE MATERNITY
DEATHS
Washington. Maternity deaths
were more numerous per unit of pop
ulation in the United States birth
registration area in 1920 than in any
foreign country for which figures were
available, according to the annual re
port of Miss Grace Abbott, chief of
the United States children's bureau.
Mortality among infants has decreas
ed, she said, but five other countries
reported lower rates.
R. R. APPEALS TO PULPIT
New Haven, Conn.—Striking shop
men charge the New York, New Ha
ven & Hartford railroad with endeav
oring to have clergymen denounce the
strike from their pulpits. The rail
road's strategy is not proving suc
cessful.

The Unvarnished Truth
N
The coal barons speak of
"mine workers" just as the
Kaiser spoke of "mine" sol
diers.
America First" is Mor
gan's slogan except when it
comes to his own mortgages
on Europe.
The "Borrow" conference
didn't pawn out.
.The Greener fields for war
are now the oil fields.
If the capitalists can get
oil fields on the one land and
make profits selling muni
tions on the other land, they
get the people coming and
going.
Profit has no patriotism—
GREED follows any flag.
Man serves fifteen days
for stealing two bushels of
coal. If he had stolen two
coal fields, he would have
served six years in the U. S.
Senate.
Big business is rejoicing
because 1,700,000 farmers
are forced off their farms
and into the cities. Competi
tion (for jobs) is the spice
ol lite for the "open-shop
pers."
GIVE UP JURISDICTION
Indianapolis. By a referendum
vote of 28,285 to 8,128 the Interna
