THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS
all that is necessary to bring about
such result is good weather.
Exhibits
The exhibits will be of vast and gi
gantic proportion and are sure to
prove interesting, instructive and ed
ucating to all—young and old—teach
ing the progress and products of the
county. A big feature again this year,
and one that is growing larger each
year, will be the boys' and girls' work
in contests in baking, sewing, canning,
stock raising and judging. This fea
ture is doing much for the growing
and enlarging and stimulating interest
and enthusiasm in the big show. In
dications point to all departments be
ing filled to overflowing in fine arts,
fruits, swine, sheep, cattle, horses,
poultry, etc.
Dog Show
Another big feature, and one that
is attracting widespread attention and
interest, is the big dog show that will
be held in conjunction with the fair
under the auspices of the American
Legion Kennel Club. This feature is
surely going to be one of the big hits
of the fair. There will be all kinds of
dogs little ones, big ones, short ones,
long ones, earless and tailless dogs,
hairless dogs, long and short haired
dogs, dogs of every breed, all will be
there. Silver cups valued at more than
$500 and other valuable prizes will be
awarded the winners.
The auto show this year will be the
finest and biggest ever held'in con
junction with the fair. Almost every
make of car will be represented, to
gether with accessories of every de
scription. The auto show in itself will
be worth going miles to see.
Big Free Acts
As a special treat for its thousands
of guests, the fair board has secured
Hoaglan's Hippodrome for staging
monster free acts. Hoaglan's Hippo
drome is a gigantic ag&i'egation of
tremendous features including Rus
sian leaping hounds, mile derby, auto
polo, the guideless wonder horse, high
school horses, push ball on six horses,
half-mile running race and others.
On Wednesday takes place the
horse-pulling contest. This feature is
one that always creates mush atten
tion.
Five bands have been secured to
furnish music throughout the week.
They are: the Mason band of Mason,'
Lee Inman's band of Hamilton, Smit
tie's famous band of Cincinnati, the
Ladies band of Hamilton and the Boys'
band of Lebanon. It can be seen from
this there will be band music galore.
Three big harness races each day for
a total purse of
$45.r)0.OO
will be run.

ASK RAIL BOARD
TO ENFORCK LAW
Chicago.—If the United States
Board of Mediation can not protect
the rights of employes under the Fed
eral Railway Act of 1926, please in
form us that we may be free to de
fend these rights ourselves.
The above is the substance of a tart
telegram forwarded to the board by
representatives* of 14 unions of em
ployes of the Chicago & Alton Rail
road.
Since the shopmen's strike of 1922
this railroad, which is in the hands of
a federal receiver, has forced employes
to join a company "union." Dues for
the fake "union" are deducted from
wages. More than three-fourths of the
employes retain membership in trade
unions affiliated to A. F. of L., but
Receiver Bierd refuses to recognize
these organizations as representing
the employes.
"Can Mr. Bierd and the carrier be
compelled to observe the law as plain
ly written?" the unionists ask the
Mediation Boai'd.
The economic commission of the
League of Nations on September 14
decided to make an investigation con
cerning the abuse of strong drink.

ISSUED BY A. F. OP
Washington—The A. F. of L. ex
ecutive council has issued the call for
the annual convention to be held in
New Orleans, beginning November 19
next.
"New problems arising oat of in
dustrial development present them
selves for consideration, analysis and
solution," says the council in Ufglng
unions to be represented.
"Naturally, these problems affect
the well-being and happiness of all
working people. Let us present la
bor's formula as a remedy for indus
trial ills and social injustice. We can
do this in an impressive and effective
way if all organizations affiliated with
the A. F. of L. are fully represented.
"You will be benefited by being
there and the labor movement will be
helped by your presence, your counsel
and your service."
Calls have also been issued for an
nual conventions in the same city by
the Building Trades, the Metal Trades
and the Union Label Trades Depart
ments of the A. F. of L.
Q.—Were any trade unions organ
ized during the Civil War?
A.—Yes. The Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers was organized in
1863. Wood Carcersin New York City
organized in the same year. The Cigar
Makers' International Union was or
ganized a few months after the war
ended, on October 17, 1865.
