For many years it has been custom
ary for representatives of labor to
accept invitations to deliver addresses
in churches in the different cities in
which the conventions of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor have been
held.
These invitations were extended by
the Ministerial Associations through
the official representatives of the Fed
eral Council of the Churches of Christ
in America. Through this method
problems of labor and the aims and
purposes of the American Federation
of Labor were explained and express
ed to the members of the churches
and to those who attended church
services. As a result a better under
standing regarding the relationship
of the church and labor to human,
economic and social problem^ was
brought about.
In accordance with this custom
James Myers, secretary of the Fed
eral Council of the Churches of Christ
in America, extended an invitation
to the president of the American Fed
eration of Labor and to other repre
sentatives of organized labor attend
ing the Detroit convention of the
American Federation of Labor to de
liver addresses at the different
churches in the city of Detroit on
Sunday, October 10th. These invita
tions were tentatively accepted.
In view of these facts, it was there
for surprising to learn thi'ough the
press that through the influence of
the Detroit Chamber of Commerce
and the Building Trades Association
the invitation to labor representatives
to speak in a number of the churches
TRADES COUNCIL
The Co-Operative Trades and Labor
Council met Tuesday night in regular
session. President Ed. Sims presided
over the meeting and forty-two dele

represent the Woman's Union Label
League for 12 months, were read, re
ceived and delegates installed.
A communication from Thos. J.
Donnelly, secretary of the Ohio State
Federation was read. The communi
cation was an urgent appeal for the
United Mine Workers in the mining
districts of Ohio. The appeal is again
for men's, women's and children's
clothing, as well as staple food ar
ticles. He suggests that the goods
when collected be divided and part
sent to each of the following names
and addresses: Frank Bender, Zanes
ville, Ohio Conrad Wein, Nelson
ville, Ohio Richard Campbell, Pom
eroy, Ohio. The miners of Ohio have
in some cases been idle for more than

has refused to vote money to enable
the secretary of state to mail each

of Ohio, printed arguments for and
against the proposed constitutional
amendments to be voted on at the

further states that many of these

LABOR AND DETROIT CHURCHES
By William gre^N
President American Federation of Labor
had been cancelled.
It is difficult to believe that the
churches in the city of Detroit would
yield to such sinister influences. The
relationship between the American
Federation of Labor and the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ in
America has been of a most friendly
character. There has been perfect co
operation between these two organiza
tions in the observance of Labor
Sunday.
It is common knowledge outside the
city of Detroit, that certain employers
in this city have formed and main
tained an organization having for its
purpose the prevention of organiza
tion among the working people em
ployed in the manufacturing plants
located here. TJhis organization is de
cidedly hostile to trade unions as rep
resented by the American Federation
of Labor. It is this same organization
which seeks to control and dominate
the working people of this city and
to prevent them from becoming
organized, that is now using its in
fluence to control the churches and
the ministers of the city of Detroit.
Neither the working people of this
city nor the churches of this city can
be free when they are subjected to
the control of such selfish influences.
This incident ought to serve to at
tract the attention of the masses of
the people of this city to the serious
ness of the situation and to the length
to which these anti-union organiza
tions will go in their attempts to con
trol, for their own selfish interests,
the religious and economic forces of
a great city.
ranks of labor that the Ohio State
Federation of Labor is on record as
being against the amendment and to
vote "No."
The O. S. F. of L. has sent the secre
tary a package of pamphlets giving
the names of candidates for state
office with their records. The pamph
lets can be secured at the labor tem
ple.
Frank K. Vaughn, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, submitted a
communication to Stanley Ogg, secre
tary of the Trades and Labor Coun
cil. In the comunication he states
that in the coming city election, there
are four questions before the people,
all of a non-political character, but
all of vital interest to the future
growth and development to the city of
Hamilton. The four questions refer
red to are the new charter, the new
junior high school, the east end
storm sewer and the new city
building. In behalf of the four ques
tions to be voted on, Frank K. Vaughn
and Mr. Walter Millai'd were allowed
the floor and explained to the dele
gates many features of the new char
ter. Mr. Millard, who is secretary of
the National Proportional Represen
tative League, gave the delegates a
demonstration of how the elections
under the new charter would be held
and the ballots counted. The demon
stration was very interesting and en
joyed by all the delegates. On motion
a rising vote of thanks was given the
gentlemen, Mr. Vaughn and Mr. Mil
lard,
for
their visit.

UNION LABOR LIFE
Goes Over Top and Plans to
Begin Its Writing of Pol
icies on January 1st
Detroit, Mich., October 15.—With
almost $600,000 now definitely raised
in sales of stock and surplus, The
Union Labor Life Insurance Company
is so close to going over the top that
it will pass the mark easily before
this convention is closed, according
to announcement of President Mat
thew Woll today.
The board of directors has been
called to meet here, and all of the
members are in the city. In this
meeting a final date for closing the
books will be set. After that date
no stock will be sold.
Delegates to the A. F. of L. conven
tion are highly enthusiastic about the
company and its prospects. More
than ever they see in this new enter
prise an instrument of service to la
bor, and they are eager to see it
functioning. It is President Woll's
estimate that the company will begin
writing insurance about January 1st.
In their meeting here the directors
will have before them the question of
the selection of a staff, including med
ical and actuarial men. Men will be
started at the important work of de
termining forms of policies and rates.
Everything will be got under way to
prepare the company to write busi
ness.
It is predicted that more than a
million dollars' worth of insurance
vvaits and will be written within the
first few days of business. Repre
sentatives of labor banks also are here
ronferring with President Woll to
work out close co-operation between
the company and the banks.
The fact is that labor is definitely
in
the field of big and important
financial operations, with the launch
ing
of this company and the impor
tance of the enterprise becomes clear
er i- to labor men each day.

DEATHS IN COAL MINES
Washington. During the first
eight months of 1926 1,575 workers
were killed in coal mines of the
United States. One major disaster,
.t
Clymer, Pa., resulted in the death
of 44 men.
LOAN TO FALL ILLEGAL
Washington.—In a brief filed in the
United States supreme court, gov
ernment attorneys declare that the
loan of $100,000 by Edward L. Do
heny, oil magnate, to Albert B. Fall,
then secretary of the interior, was
intended as a bribe.
The loan was made when Doheny
was negotiating to secure the Elks
Hills oil reserves. The lease was set
aside by the IjOs Angeles district fed
eral court, and Doheny has appealed.
THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS
CHARLIE BAYNES
SAYS:
There are quite a few labor organi
zations who have not as yet ponied up
for their Labor Day tickets. If this
is true, they should make a complete
settlement by the next meeting of
the central body. Baynes is anxious
to be discharged from his secretary
job, and the only way to do it is to
settle for the tickets. At the next
meeting come through with the bal
ance of the tickets or smack down the
cash. Either way will be satisfactory.
BAZAAR COMMITTEE
MEETS
The bazaar committee of the Cen
tral Labor Council met again this
week, and from the reports of the
workers the bazaar will be bigger this
season than the last one.
Conditions are much better for
holding the turkey bazaar this year
and it appears as if a thousand tur
keys, chickens, geese and ducks will
have to be secured to take care of
the demand. The committee to secure"
the fowls have promised to secure the
best and healthiest to be found. The
labor bazaar has in the past built up
a reputation for a clean, healthy dis
play, and there is no reason why the
turkeys this year should not be the
best grade.
Of course besides the turkey end
of the bazaar other features will be
added to make the week one of pleas
e also. Announcements will be
made later as to the other features
If you are contemplating on a tur
key dinner Thanksgiving, the labor
temple will be the proper place to
get a big one. As always, the bazaar
will be held in the labor temple audi
torium.
LOU NAU STILL
IN HOSPITAL
Lou Nau is still confined to his bed
in Mercy Hospital and will be for
some time longer. It was just
twenty-two weeks to the day on
Thursday that he entered the hospital
because of a broken leg received when
he fell from a scaffold. The accident
occurred May 13. Twenty-two weeks
is a long time to be laid up and espe
cially when one has to lie in the same
position, but Lou seems to be cheer
iest one and the most patient in
the room of all his visitors.
He is perfectly well in every other
way but can't move, and because of
his otherwise splendid physical con
dition he craves company for pastime.
Through the kindness of John North
way, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, he has one of the finest
radio outfits to be had right at his
bedside, within reach, from which he
derives much comfort and finds much

hasn't a broadcasting outfit. He
Would like to broadcast that he favors
the bond issue proposals at the com
ing election and the city charter. Lou
is a member of the charter commis
sion and knows its details from A

cast the worth of Mercy Hospital to
the world, and urge everyone to be
liberal in its present drive for funds
and help in its enlargement.
He would also like to broadcast a

but neglect to do so. He says to these
fellows, through the Press, "If you

OPPOSE COSSACKS
Streator, 111.—The convention of the
Illinois State Federation of Labor re
affirmed its opposition to state cos
sacks. For years anti-union employ
ers have urged the legislature to cre
ate a police system that will not be
responsible to local authorities. The
employers profess a great concern for
farmers, who are occasional victims of
chicken thieves.
