G. EDWIN BUTLER
IS DEAD
Organized Labor Deeply
Mourns Passing of Pop
ular Union Member
It was with a great shock and much
sorrow in eartiudn HRDL RD RRR
sorrow in trade union circles the news
was received on last Sunday after
noon of the finding, in the canal, of
'le body of G. Edwin Butler. While
it was known by his closest friends
tliit he was ijl and in declining
in alth for some time past, none, for
a moment, thought his untimely
death was so near. Just last Friday
ening he attended a meeting of the
Fourth Ward .Improvement Associa
tion, where he seemed greatly inter
ested in the explaru^jyjui given of the
counting of the ballots for council
men under the new charter system,
and where he chatted with numerous
friends and seemed in good spirits.
No man in Hamilton was better
known in trade union circles than
Ed Butler. Nor was there a more
popular member in the movement.
Though of a reserved disposition, he
was alwkys' cheerful and ever ready
to lend a hand to a friend or to one
in distress. He was a machinist by
trade, and one of the oldest mem
bers in the union of that craft. He
was for many years secretary of Ma
chinists' Union No. 241, and held
that position at the time of his death.
He always took a keen interest in the
cause of trade unionism and he will
be sadly missed by all members of
the movement.
He was laid away Tuesday after
noon, and the large assembly attend
ant at the funeral services and the
great profusion of floral offerings
sent by friends attest the popularity
and esteem in which Ed Butler was
held.

STEEL CARS FAVORED
BY ORGANIZED LABOR
Los Angeles.—Steel cars exclusive
ly in the postal service was called
for by the A. F. of L. convention.
"This legislation," the committee
reported, "is urgently required to pro
tect the lives of railway mail clerks,
many of whom work in antiquated and
unsafe wooden cars and are subject
ed, therefore, to unwarranted haz
ards."
MOTOR CAR TOTAL
In Nation Jumps Seven Per
Cent
By International Labor News Service
Washington, D. C.—A total of
20,991,333 motor vehicles we*e regis
tered in the United States in the first
six months of 1927, according to data
collected by the Bureau of Public
Roads of the United States depart
ment of agriculture from the various
state registration agencies. This rep
resents an increase of 1,374,578, or 7
per cent over the registration during
the same period of last year.
Effect of School Bonds on Taxes
Here Are Facts
The states showing the largest per
centage increases are Tennessee,
South Carolina,- North Carolina, Illi
nois, West Virginia, New Jersey and
Massachusetts. Statistics for 1926
showed all of these states to be above
the average of 5.4 persons per motor
vehicle for the entire United States.
Revenue from registrations, li
censes, etc., amounted to $272,119,534,
of which $12,452,059 has been allo
cated for collection and administration
purposes, $188,525,679 for state high
ways, $47,937,641 for local roads, $21,
795,330 ^or road bonds, and $1,408,825
for miscellaneous purposes. In recent
years the motor vehicle a*»d gasoline
tax revenues have constituted quite a
substantial portion of highway expen
ditures.

THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS
If the proposed school bonds are
authorized and ALL of them issued}
Hamilton's school tax rate will still
be COMPARATIVELY LOW. The
auditor's estimate is that it will only
require a levy of 93-100 of a mill to
care for the entire issue.
But all of these bonds will not be
issued at once. They will be issued
only as contracts for schools are let.
The ward schools will first be cared
for and the crowded condition of the
schools in the First ward, in East
Hamilton and in Lindenwald will be
relieved. It will be necessary to re
lieve the crowded condition* in the
Madison school also.
The program the board of educa
tion has outlined will provide for nor
mal expansion for the NEXT TEN
or TWELVE ^TEARS. Inasmuch as
practically no building has been done
for the past twelve years, it is evi
dent that the proposed program
takes care of the school expansion
for the past twelve years and pro
vides also for the normal expansion
for the next twelve years. In other
words this present program really
covers 24 years past and future.
One other matter that voters
shoald distinctly understand is that
in the carrying out of this program
the elementary schools (generally
known as the ward schools) will be
taken care of first and as soon as
possible.

eration of Labor and city central bod
ies of that state.
The seven-months' strike of miners
in western Pennsylvania, Ohio and
other bituminous coal fields will be
considered, as will the policy of Penn
sylvania authorities in issuing com
missions to coal and iron police who
are paid by the coal companies.
Miners and their families are evict
ted and the corporations' gunmen are
unchecked in their terrorization cam
paign against workers and their de
pendents who have made every sacri
fice.
Because of the attitude of the po
litical powers who control the situa
tion in Pennsylvania, the A. F. of L.
executive council recommended the
conference that plans may be formu
lated by which Pennsylvania workers
can use their political power against
these opponents.
The conference will convene at the
Roosevelt Hotel in Pittsburgh, Mon
day afternoon, November 14, at 2:30
p. m.
LOSES ANOTHER BODY
LOSES ANOTHER BDDY
York, Pa.—The American Engineer
ing Council's administrative board
voted that the council withdraw from
the National Board for Jurisdictional
Awards in the Building Industry.
Rudolph P. Miller, chairman of the
board, and the council's representative
on the board, favored this action.
At the Los Angeles convention of
the building trades department, A.
of L., the unionists voted to withdraw
from the board. They declared that
employers ignored jurisdictional
awards and that they were the only
ones who "made any sincere attempt
to comply with the provisions of tlse
agreement."
NO LAW IN RUSSIA
FREEDOM DENIED
New York.—"Laws in Communist
Russia are a joke," said Silas B. Ax
tell, marine lawyer, of this city, who
was an unofficial member of the dele
gation that recently visited Russia.
"Strictly speaking," said Mr. Ax
tell, ."Russia has no laws, only de
crees handed down from above. There
is no guarantee of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness, no freedom
of speech, press or assembly, no se
cret ballot. The press is run by the
government and there is no opposi
tion press.
"My impression of Russia is that it
may drag along 50 or 100 years as an
isolated state, but it will not get any
where. Civilization there will not im
prove under a communist government.
Russia is the m«st unhappy and dis
mal place I ever visited."
Members of the delegation are not
agreed on. the soviet regime? accord
ing to Mr. Axtell. The majority favor
recognition by the United States.
This was predicated before the com
mission sailed to Russia.
The commission included three
trade unionists. The venture has been
repudiated by the A. F. of L., but
it is referred to in some sections of
the public press as "the American la
bor delegation."

cago that building operations are on
the decline, and as a result jobs for
carpenters are scarce here at present,
according to Charles H. Sand, secre
tary of the council. Carpenters there
fore are warned against coming to
Chicago to seek work at this time.
Some of the local newspapers re
cently have printed statements which
are very misleading. They say that
the volume of building of this year is
expected to exceed that of 1926.
The best barometer by which to
determine the volume of construction
is the number of men employed at
building work. In 1926 the carpen
ters were kept at work steadily, while
this year great numbers of them have
been idle, and, with the cold season
approaching, many more will be idle.
