JOHN DARGUE
The announcement by the Dargue
Cut Rate Store of its formal opening
in the new location, 21 North Second
street, last Saturday, was responded
to by the Hamilton public in a manner
exceeding all expectations. All day
long throngs streamed through the
handsome store room. There was
music and souvenirs for all attending
and large bags of samples for the
purchasers.
It is just a little more than four
and a half years ago that John
Dargue and his son, Paul, opened a
store in a modest way at 242 High
street. The policy of the store in cut
rates on drug merchandise soon at
tracted great numbers of customers
until when leaving that location it
was one of the best stocked stores of
The eighty-seventh general assem
bly of Ohio convened on January 3rd.
The membership consists of 136 re
publicans and 33 democrats in the
house of representatives, with three
members of organized labor among
the republican members and four
among the democratic members. In
the senate there are 35 republicans
and two democrats. Senator Rebman
(republican) is the only member of
organized labor.
The legislative agent of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor is in at
tendance at the sessions of the legis
lature for the purpose of having labor
bills introduced and passed, keeping
a record of bills introduced to which
labor is opposed, and endeavoring to
defeat them.
All organizations and their legis
lative committees are urged to be pre
pared to be represented at hearings
when asked by the federation. Legis
lation of interest to labor can only
be secured or defeated by the organi
zations making known to their repre
sentatives and senators the desires
of labor.
Labor's major bill, outlawing "yel
low dog contracts," has been intro
duced and i-s known as House Bill No.
23 and Senate Bill No. 30. All organ
izations are asked to be prepared to
send representatives to Columbus
when a hearing on the bill is sched
uled, if the federation sends such a
request to them. In the meantime it
is important that all organizations
call on or write their representatives
and senators at once and endeavor to

The secret of the success of this
popular concern may easily be found
in the oftheard expression, "One al
ways feels so at home in the Dargue
store." And this no doubt is due to
the cheery and smiling manner one is
always met with when entering by all
concerned with the store, from Mr.
and Mrs. Dargue down to the stock
man, and to the splendid service given
all.
In its new location the Dargue store
has splendid floor space in which to
display goods, and it is a handsome
store indeed. Success is predicted
and wished for the Dargue store by
the hundreds of friends it has gained
in its short time in Hamilton.

UNION LABOR LIFE
Closes Books Monday To
Stock Selling
Washington, D. C.—This week The
Union Labor Life Insurance Company
marked the first anniversary of its
xistence, offices having been opened
n the American Federation of Labor
milding here one year ago.
During that year the company has
used more than its required amount
•f
capitalization, and is practically
•eady for active entry into the writ
n.? of insurance.
There now is in the treasury of the
mpany over $650,000.00, with more
oming each day. The total will be
ver $700,000.00 by the time the stock
books are closed on January 31st,
iTter which no more stock can be
bcught.
The company has leased adequate
space and will be ready to begin its
work shortly. Much work must be
me to get the new office ready.
During the week just closed the
Lithographers' International Union
made a payment of $20,000 in partial
payment of a total subscrpition
amounting to $40,000, the limit for
internationals. It is expected that
this subscription will be followed by
many subscriptions by local unions
of lithographers.
Stock subscriptions close on Jan
uary 31, leaving only a narrow mar
^in of time for those who wish to
participate in this largest of trade
union developments. It is expected
that the closing days will bring a
lush of subscriptions and also that
many subscriptions will be received
too late for entry.
It is ui-ged that all who want to
secure stock in The Union Labor Life
Insurance Company act immediately,
in order that their subscriptions may
not have to be returned.
The number of international unions
now participating in the company as
sures a universal labor interest in the
project and a support that could not
be had by any other company for any
consideration.

hazardous. Fifty-nine men died from
accidents in metal shops in this city
last year. More than 18,000 were in
jured, some maimed for life, others
requiring hospital attention for
months. The direct cost to manufac
turers throughout the state last year
is estimated at $73,000,000. This is
made lip of compensation and medical
benefits, wage losses and compensa
tion administration costs.
Safety education of employes and
the employment of full-time safety
engineers are means suggested for
reducing the accident toll.
LOU NAU SLOWLY
IMPROVING
The question is ofttimes asked
whether Lou Nau is still confined to
Mercy hospital. For the information
of all the Press says HE IS. It has
been a long-drawn out affair for Lou,
though he is still cheerful. It was
a sad disappointment to him that he
couldn't go home for Christmas and
stay there, but since that couldn't be
he has reconciled himself to the situ
ation and says he is just making the
best of it and doesn't care now how
long he must remain indoors—at least
until the bluebirds begin singing.
There is a sneaking suspicion that
Lou likes the swell treatment he is
getting at Mercy hospital and that
causes his optimism. Be that as it
may, he is slowly improving. It will
be remembered he suffered a broken
leg as the result of a fall way last
May. He hobbles around a bit now
on crutches, and it is sincerely hoped
that he soon will be able to get out
on the street and return to home and
family. In the meantime he would
be pleased to have all his friends call
and thus help relieve the monotony
of continuous indoor life.
COMPENSATION LAW DUE
Raleigh, N. C.—Organized workers
are hopeful that the state legislature
will pass a workmen's compensation
law, and place North Carolina in the
list of those commonwealths that have
the progressive legislation. Many
business men favor compensation.

LAW OFFICES
In New York Are "Factory^
ized"
New York.—"Factoryized" was the
term used to describe law offices in
this city by Andrew Ten Eyck, well
known lawyer and secretary of the
Williamstown Institute of Politics.
In an address to young' lawyers who
had joined a legal fraternity, he said:
"The factoryization of the profession
in large communities like New York is
pretty near accomplished. The old
fashioned lawyer and the old-fashion
ed law office are gone. The modern
law office is a great big factory where
the client is met by the man who ex
cels in handling people and in fixing
fees, and probably sees no one else.
"In my opinion, unless we, as law
yers, change our whole mental atti
tude we will forfeit whatever confi
dence the community has left in us."
UNORGANIZED MINERS
GET WAGE REDUCTION
Charleston, W. Va.—Non-union coal
miners in southern West Virginia
fields received a New Year's greeting
in the form of a 10 per cent wage
cut. The new rate establishes the
1917 scale, which is more than 33
per cent lower than in union fields.

other organizations last year to get

"Let us not deceive ourselves, but
face the facts, however disquieting
they may be," the report states.
"Comparison with both the 1924 and
the 1922 vote fails to reveal any cause
for congratulation over the results oi
our 1926 vote."
The federation declares that "a
campaign along more intensive and
more practical lines must be organ

BARBERS' LICENSE SOUGHT
Albany, N. Y.—Journeymen bar
bers and employers are making a
joint effort to secure the passage of
a barbers' license law. The measure
is intended to prevent persons who
may be suffering from commuicable
diseases working as barbers and to
raise the standard of workmanship.
Nineteen states have similar laws.
EXPRESS CO. PLEADS
POVERTY
New York.—"Enormous losses" the
past six years makes it impossible for

pany to raise wages 12 per cent,
Charles A. Lutz, vice president in
charge of accounts, testified before an
arbitration board.
Mr. Lutz said that salaries of 17,
000 "officials" were not reduced in
1921 when employers' wages were re
duced 6 per cent.

COSSACKS HINTED
St. Paul, Minn.—The solution of
crime is to establish a state cossack
system.
This summarizes recommendation!
of the state crime commission in its

attempts to conceal its purpose byth#
claim that "a state central authority"!
and a bureau of identification, which
tl ey favor, .does not mean a cossack
system.
A few years ago the state legis
lature considered a bill that was bas
ed on "a central authority" and a bu
