MERCHANTS ENJOY
BIG DAY
Hamilton merchants and their fam
ilies and friends had one big day of
it Wednesday at Venice. The occa
sion being the annual outing and
dance of the Hamilton Retail Mer
chants. The ball game in the after
noon was all that was claimed it would
be. Don Fitton's High street bunch
defeated Carl Dickerscheid's Third
street hustlers, but Don and his gang
had to stretch themselves to do it
because the- game had a regular Gar
rison finish.
After the ball game came the big
eats at the Venice pavilion. And such
1- S

eats! Never did the merchants sit
down to a better spread. They say
so themselves. The spread wasn't
gotten up for decorations only—the
comittee insisting that something sub
stantial be included. The result was
at the finish that some had to let out
their belts, but glad to do it.
Then came dancing. This continued
until a very late hour. It is said that
all were enjoying themselves so thor
oughly that some didn't get back to
the city unt i long after Old Sol peep
ed over the top of infirmary hill. But
all voted the affair the greatest ever.
"SPEED" IS DADDY
Baby Girls Comes to Glad
den Home of Popular
Pressman
Henry "Speed" Zettler, member of
the Butler County Press pressroom,
is now a full-fledged bona fide daddy.
All wondered last Monday morning at
the broad smile on the countenance
of the popular "Speed," so firoad in
fact he could scarcely get it through
the office door, until the announce
ment of the arrival at Mercy hospital
last Saturday night of a bouncing
7M -pound girl baby to Mrs. Zettler.
"Speed" declares the little lady is
the handsomest, cutest little thing
that ever came into the world. And
who is there that will disagree with
the proud papa!
Cigars and candy for all the Press
force brings wishes for many more
little ones in the Zettler home.
Mamma and baby ai-e doing just
fine, thank you.
STOVE MOUNTERS
Show No Break in Ranks
Since Strike at Estate
May 5th
The strike of the stove mounters
at the Estate Stove Co. plant is now
nearly three months old. It was on
May 5th, after every effort had been
made on the part of the stove mount
ers to adjust their differences with
the Estate officials, the men laid down
their tools and notified the company
they would no longer work under pre
vailing conditions.
Though the strike has been running
for nearly three months, to date there
hasn't been a single break in the
ranks of the strikers. They are re
ceiving weekly strike benefits from
their international union and some of
them have taken jobs elsewhere. They
vow they will never return to their
old jobs at the Estate until the com
pany accedes to their demands, which
they claim are only just and fair.
In the meantime the grievances of
the mounters is gradually being made
known to all labor organizations
throughout the country, and their co
operation asked in making a fight on
the Estate products. The delegate to
the Stove Mounters' International
Union convention, held at Newark,
N. J., just returned, reports the mat
ter taken up by the convention and
every support of the international
pledged to the local union.
A strong movement was put for
ward at the convention to amalga
mate all stove crafts. This would
mean that all crafts would lay down
their tools in any factory where one
of the crafts had grievances.
All organized labor and friends are
urged to lend their moral support to
the mounters in their controversy
with the Estate company.
