The Co-Operative Trades and Labor
Council met Tuesday night in regular
session. President Peter Shmitt pre
sided and about forty delegates were
present.
The credentials of Chas. Jackson, 12
months, and Don Davis, 18 months,
to l'epresent Stationary Engineers,
were read, received and delegates
ordered installed. Jackson received
the obligation, but Davis came a little
late and was not installed. He will
receive the obligation at the next reg
ular meeting.
A communication was received fron?
the United Mine Workers, of Charles
ton, W. Va., regarding the trials now
going on in Logan county.
The local Pattern Makers' Union
sent the council a check for $50.00
for temple stamps. The same was
received with thanks.
The 322nd Field Artillery Associa
tion in a communication thanked the
council for favors shown them during
their recent convention.
The J. Zinsmeister Sons Company,
of Louisville, Ky., manufacturers of
union made coffee, sent a communi
cation in which they make a propo
sition to the council to handle their
goods. The communication was re
ceived, and the trustees looked favor
ably on trying out the proposition.
The annual call for the A. F. of L.
convention was received.
A communication coming from the
Tri-State Mo(JRe Exposition asikng
the council to take part in Fraternal
OLD AGE PENSIONS
Petitions for an old age pen
sion law and constitutional
amendment to provide funds to
pay state old age pensions have
been sent all local unions to cir

voters. This work should be
prosecuted with vigor, the peti
tions signed and sworn to by the
circulators and returned to the
central labor body.
Let us put our city and county

AND E/VENING
night at the exhibition was received
and invitation accepted.
A discussion arose over a commun
ication from the Plumbers' Local
Union, in which they asked for the
unseating of a delegate who purchas
ed a house which was fitted up with
non-union plumbers. The letter was
received, but the council voted to not
unseat the delegate. The discussion
should be a warning to other trades
unionists to be careful when purchas
ing houses that they are built by
union men.
A communication from James C.
Beatty, a candidate from Zanesville,
Ohio, was read. He asked that if
the people wanted better telephone
rates to vote for him.
The trustees reported on receipts
and expenditures of the council and
the house committee for the past three
months. The report shows that some
improvement has been made around
the labor temple, and it is hoped that
the good work proceed. The audit
of the tnistees was received.
Stanley Ogg again reported on the
old age pension committee that Sec
retary Donnelly, of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, informs him that
Butler county is 400 names short on
the petitions and urges the Hamilton
trades unionists to get busy and send
them in this week. Ogg appealed to
the delegates to take some of the pe
titions and assist him on the job.
About 100 additional names have been
secured in the past two days and with
a little work the balance can be easily
secured.
The Labor Day picnic committee re
ported progress and that everything
was being taken care of by the dif
ferent sub-committees. The Secretary
read a list of names of members of
the committee who have missed two
or more meetings. The chairman ap
pointed new members in their places.
The Labor Day committee does not
want members who do not attend tc
their work.
The committee appointed to wait on
Henry Evans, who was reported as
having his new garage built by non
union carpenters, reported that they
called on Evans and that he informed
him that the carpenter had his appli
cation in the union. The earpenters
were so informed and the committee
was given a thank-you for their as
sistance.
Jack Schief registered a vigorous
protest against union men who are
hanging and tacking up cards and
signs. Jack claims jurisdiction on all
this work and produced a telegram
and a letter from his union in Colum
bus to that effect. He stated that he
never has any trouble about this work
with the outside public, but that union
men who are on committees from
other organizations insist on doing
this work. Hereafter Jack will see
that all cards, banners and other work
of this nature will be done bearing
the label of the Bill Posters' Union.
Righto! The council went on record
as favoring all this work being done
by union billers.
A committee consisting of Jackson,
Perpingon and McGill were appointed
to meet with Mark Welliver and Ted
Beeler. The carpenters claim that
they are building houses with non
union men.
It was reported that the Butler
County Cycle Club was distributing
printing without the union label. The
attention of the printers' delegates
was called.
This is one of the largest meetings
held by the council in a year. Every
uuion except a very few was repre
sented.

SPECIAL FRIEJD CHICKEN SUPPER 75c
AT THERIALTO
"One Week of Love," which comes
to the Rialto theatre for two days,
starting Sunday, July 29, will be a
rare treat for all, but most of a treat
to those who have been writing, beg
ging and cajoling the Selznick Pic
tures Corporation to play Conway
Tearle and Elaine Hammersmith to
gether in one picture. Ever since
these two popular players achieved
fame and fortune in the world of
cinema, Mr. Lewis J. Selznick has been
searching for a story in which he
might employ their combined talents.
At least ten thousand manuscripts
passed through his hands before he
finally picked Edward J. Montagne's
"One Week of Love" as the final
choice. Mr. Selznick's choice will
cause thousands of hearts to flutter
with excitement from Portland, Me.,
to the other Portland that fronts the
Pacific.
Here is a story that employs a
kick in every foot, rising steadily to
the champion climax of the last ten
years. It is a glorious battle between
"Sheik of the Sierras" and a So
ciety Queen, the Crude vs. the Ef
fete, and in the end both are winners.
You will love the "Sheik of the Sier
ras" more than any Sheik you ever
saw for he is a white man through
and through, who speaks with deeds
and not with rolling eyes.
The added attraction is Snub Pol
lard in "A Tough Winter" and Rialto
News.
Richard Dix, Star in The Christian,
Appears Opposite Helene Chad

Admirers of Richard Dix, who no
doubt will remember him for his bril
liant work in "The Christian," will
share his enthusiasm for the role he
plays in "Quicksands," the Howard
Hawks picti^-e which comes to the
Rialto theatre for three days, starting
Tuesday, July 31. Besides the popu
lar leading man, the cast is further
enhanced by Helene Chadwiek, Alan
Hale, Noah Beery, J. Farrell McDon
ald, George Cooper, Walter Long,
Edwin Stevens, Frank Campeau, Jean
Hersholt, Dick Sutherland and others
equally distinguished for strong act
ing.
The added attraction—l) in Mason
in "Pop Tuttle^nd the Pole Cat Plot,"
and Movie Chats.
Friday and Saturday
Jean Acker Valentino, in "The
Woman in Chains," adapted from the
book, Madonna in Chains, written by
Edward Owings Towne. This pic
ture in seven reels co-starring E. K.
Lincoln, Martha Mansfield, William
H. Tooker and Joseph Striker was
produced by the Amalgamated Ex
changes of America and will be at
the Rialto theatre for two days, start
ing Friday, August 3.
The picture itself in a way is a
simile to the life story of Mrs. Ro
dolph Valentino. And the tale is of
a girl chained in love on the Isle of
Martinique while the artist lover has
married the demi'monde of an Apache
dancer.

All the past annual affairs of this
popular organization have been big
successes, and the success of this
year is already assured.
RETAIL CLERKS
GOING AFTER
OPEN STORES
Retail Clerks' Union, Local 119,
held an interesting meeting Monday
ight at the labor temple. Much
outine business was transacted. Ray
mond Cooper, employed at the Red
Trunk, and Leroy A. Gugle, employ
ed at Peter Centner's, were initiated
and added to the membership roll.
Several new applications were receiv
ed.
President Ray Wunderlich reported
that he is receiving many complaints
from the card store merchants re
garding stores that are open nights
and Sundays. It seems there are
juite a number of small stores in the
ity, and they are increasing fast,
who have no regard for rules or reg
ulations, and know no Christmas, La
bor Day, Yom Kippur, nor any other
day. They are open 365 days and
ights in the year with an extra day
and night every four years thrown in.
They do business on a heathen order.
When approached on the subject of
closing as the other merchants do,
they are inclined to get insulting and
as one of them told a representative
of the Clerks' Union, "I don't let no
man tell me when to close and
when to open." This fellow needs
attention, and from the action taken
Monday night he is going to get it.
The clerks' executive board will meet
with the executive board of the Retail
Merchants Association and decide on
some effort for reaching these little
fellows. One thing is determined
upon, and that is that the clerks are
going to see that these stores are
closed on Sundays. There is a state
law to this effect and it is going to
be brought into action in the local
situation.
LABOR DAY
The Labor Day picnic committee
met Tuesday night immediately after
the Trades Council meeting. Peter
Schmitt presided over the meeting,
and on roll call very near every local
is represented.
The different committees reported
that everything pertaining to the out
ing was under way, and from all ap
pearances Labor Day would be cele
brated larger than ever.
The country store committee
ported that they made application to
the Chamber of Commerce to solicit
articles for the store. The doll con
cession was allowed to Mr. Marsh at
his bid. The committee will retain
the candy, popcorn and peanut privi!
ges.
The picnic committee will

Enjoyed Big Outing Wed
nesday at Sohngen
Farm
Buyers at the big Sohngen-Ahman
tore and furniture annex on Tuesday
might have thought the clerks a little
nattentive or abstracted, but if they
knew just what was behind it they
wouldn't have wondered much at this
Knowing what they might expect
from having attended or heard of past
affairs, it was pretty hard to keep
their minds on anything except the
doings they were going to participate
in the next day at the big anuual pic
uic of the firm for its employes at
the Sohngen farm near the Hickory
Flats. The big affair was held Wed
nesday. The stores of the Sohngen
Ahman Company were closed all day
that all might take part. Even an
outside man was hired to take the
place of the day watchman that he
might take part. A special traction

was provided to take the picnick
rs to the farm. All day Tuesday
cooks were preparing the big feed,
chicken dinner, with real chicken, was
the headliner. No use telling all that
took place, suffice to say that
whether it was the sniff of new-mown
hay or what, we are not prepared to
say, but anyway, everyone frollicked

gen, and had the time of their lives.
They are all hoping to be here next
year at this time that they may again
participate. To say that these annual
affairs of the Sohngen-Ahman Co. are
appreciated by their employes is only
going half way in telling it.

COUNTRY STORE
NEWS
Ray "Si Perkins" Wunderlich, heai
of the country store department of|
the Labor Day picnic, reports won
derful progress. There isn't anyi
doubt whatever that this feature of
the big annual is going to be one of I
THE attractions. Ray is calling on
all the locals and giving them the I
privilege to donate for prizes, and I
they seem to appreciate this privil
ege (?), at least they are responding
genei*ously. The store is going to be
the real thing, a regular Podunk eoun-l
ty affair, with new-mown hay odor alll
around. And there is going to bel
some real gifts, buh-lieve us! A num-l

he is still short a diamond ring, gold!
watch, bicycle, typewriter, a nice set!
of Haviland china and things like that,I

something else just send it along.
Any old thing will be welcome But|
do send something.
