A lengthy letter froih the Reed
Klopp Co., furniture dealers of Mid
dletown and Hamilton, and a copy of
another letter sent to the Merchants
and Retail Clerks' Union, was receiv
ed by the council. Both of the letters
pertain to getting the furniture deal
ers and the clerks in Butler county to
combat the outside dealers. Both
communications were received and
turned over to the' Retail Clerks
Union.
A communication was read from the
union label trades department of the
American Federation of Labor, in
which John J. Manning, secretary
treasurer, states that the fair weather
members of organized labor are a
good riddance as they are the weak
links in our chain of organization.
He refers to the workinginan who will
join the union when business is brisk
and reap the benefits of the union, and
then drop his membership when busi
ness slumps. .The letter concludes by
urging the trades unionists to not
spend one cent of union-earned dollars
with unfair employers. The same
was received and ordered complied
with.

KN0W0HI0
Ohioans who start 014 this week to
"See Ohio First" at the behest of
the Know Ohio League, will have 30,
000 miles of improved road over
which to guide their motors, and may
have the knowledge, if they care to
know, that their state is second in the
United States in miles of surfaced
road.
Director G. F. Sclilesinger, of the
Ohio department of highways, in fur­
therance of the idea of making Ohio
known to itself, has published a free
may of state roads which may be ob­
tained from the department of high­
ways, as well as an "Ohio Highway
Guide," which contains facts for mo
torists and which is also free. Be
yond this he is making a plea, not
only for this week but for all the
touring season, for care in driving,
and for reporting to the state depart
ment of highways any useful infor
mation.
"In order that 'Know Ohio Week'
may benefit the department of high
.vays in its work of serving the pub
ic, as well as the hundreds of thou
sands who will tour that week," said
\tr. Schlesinger, "we would like to
iave motorists report any shortcom
ug of the highways, or any ideas for
further improvement. Our depart
uent is here to give the state bet
nr roads, and we are always eager
to get suggestions."
The state highway department was
eated in 1904, when it started with
an appropriation of $10,000. In 11)20
it took first place in the nation in
number of miles surfaced during a
ingle year with a total of 2,411.2
miles. In 1922 it appropriated money
for the maintenance of 4300 miles of
road, and in 1928 will appropriate
money to care for 10,000 miles, which
shows just how fast state road im
provement is travelling in Ohio.
The total mileage of roads in Ohio
is 85,000, which includes everything.
The state system of surfaced roads
now includes about 10,000 miles. The
rest are roads of softer surface kept
up by the counties, the federal gov
ernment, municipalities and private
interest. Each one of the roads in
cluded in the total will carry the mo
torist past one or more of Ohio's 550
beauty spots and points of interest in
which the Know Ohio League is try
ing to interest the public.
Taking two main state roads for
example: The Natonal road out of
Wheeling westward passes scenes of
Indian battles at Bridgeport Mus
kingum College, New Concord "Y"
bridge at Zanesville, one of two such
bridges in the world Flint ridge, Gra-.
tiot, one of the greatest supplies of
arrow flints which the Indians had
passes close to Buckeye lake passes
any number of state points of inter
est at Columbus passes Wittenberg
College, Springfield birthplace of Te
cumseh, and scene of the battle of
Piqua.
The Scioto trail, leaving Ports
mouth and coming northward, passes
Felix Renick Shorthorn monument,
south of Chillicothe Camp Sherman,
famous war contonment, north of
Chillicothe Mt. Logan, and state for
est of 400 acres, near Chillicothe
Logan elm many points of interest
centering around Columbus Ohio
Wesleyan University, Delaware
birthplace of Rutherford B. Hayes,
Delaware, and the home and tomb of
Warren G. Harding, Marion.
IMPORTANT RAIL CASES
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Washington.—Appeals in the cases
of the St. Louis & O'Fallon Railway
Company, arising out of the recap
ture of excess earnings, have been
filed in the United States Supreme
Court.
The cases involve a few miles of
trackage, but the decision will affect
every railroad. The recapture clause
of the railroad act provides that all
earnings in excess of 6 per cent net
shall be turned over to the govern
ment. The clause itself has been up
held by the Supreme Court, but the
present cases involve valuation that
will be a basis for profits.
