The Hamilton Home Owned Stores
Association will soon broaden its
membership policies to take in any
independent merchant in Hamilton,
Fred Stitsinger, president of the asso
ciation, announced Tuesday at a din
ner meeting of the organization at
the Y. M. C. A.
The association was formed a year
and a half ago with only retail gro
cers and wholesale distributors as
its members. The new membership
policy, however, will take in any inde
pendent merchant.
The meeting last night, attended by
nearly 200 members and their fam
ilies, was addressed by Frank J. Mul
holland, of Toledo, past president of
the International Rotary and counsel
for the International Association of
Machinists. Mr. Mulholland spoke
chiefly of the changes wrought in the
past few years by science and inven
tion.
"Science and invention," he said,

LOUIS F. NAU
At the last regular meeting of Car
penters' Union No. 637, the annua!
election of officers took place. Louis
F. Nau was again elected prisideru.
There doesn't seem much chance for
Lou getting away from this job be
cause, as the members say, he fits in
too well to let him go. While the rec
ords weren't looked into regarding
this, some of the older members say,
so far as they can remember, Lou
must have been holding the position lf»
years or more.
To stand so high in the estimation
and regard of your fellow workers as
to be chosen by them as leader is in
deed a matter for much pride.
Most of the other officers of thfc
union elected have held their posi

Vice president, Joseph Lewis re

DON'T HEDGE
On September 2nd of this year, th
Labor Day Outing will again be cel
ebrated. It is a little early to predict
just what entertainment and amuse
ments will be there, but it is certain
that there will be other necessary fea
tures.
In order to make a Labor Day Pic
nic a success it is necessary for the
entire labor movement to get back of
it. Heretofore a mere handful of
trades unionists did all the work and
from the reports they did it well.
Home Owned Store Association
We are appealing to the entire
membership of the different labor or
ganizations to solicit their members
with a view of having them help at
the fair grounds on that day. The
more help that volunteers the less
work it will be for all concerned.

age—an age demanding that men
think. And as we think we learn to
sense values.
"No man can be great in his na
tional relationships until he is great
in his community."
Mr. Mulholland cited the shifting
structures of economics and manners
of modern life, pointing out the ever
changing tempo of the times with
which he advised every one to "keep
up with."
Not only were there grocers and
meat dealers at this meeting, bank
ers, printers, dentists, clothiers, haber
dashers, funeral directors and several
other lines of merchants and business
men attended.
Another meeting of the Home
Owned Stores Association is to be
called either for next week or week
after next, it was announced, when
other home owned store owners and
business men will be taken in.
EAGLES
Preparing For Big Fourth
of July Outing At
Fairgrounds
The committee named by Butler
Aerie 407, "Fraternal Order of Eagles,
to arrange for the annual Fourth of
July celebration and outing, is surely
a busy crowd these days. To prepare
for an event of the magnitude of
these annual affairs such as the
Eagles stage is some job, as anyone
of experience can well tell.
The Eagles always aim, each year,
to outdo all previous attempts, and
that they succeed is only a matter of
history. They have succeeded until
now the Eagles' Fourth of July
events are looked upon and acknow
ledged to be the greatest of any any
where in the state.
And this year will be no exception.
All the old-time features will again
be staged with many new ones. The
big afternoon attraction will be the
motorcycle races. But there will be
many other things to amuse and en
tertain those not caring for the speed
events. There will be something do
ing and going on throughout the en
tire day, and all wftuling up with one
of those grand and glorious fireworks
displays for which the Eagles' annual
affairs have gained a reputation sec
ond to none.

John is well known in union circles
and one of the best qualified trade
unionists to fill the position, and all
are agreed No. 108 made no mistake
in the selection of its representative
and wish for him every success.
CRIMINAL TYPE IDEA
DISPUTED BY LAWES
Boston.—"There is no such thing as
the 'criminal type' which psychriarists
talk about," said Lewis E. Lawes,
warden of Sing Sing Prison at the
closing session of the Boys' CluD
Federation.
"I can't possibly recognize a crim
inal type in humanity," said the
speaker, who for years has been asso
ciated with criminals. "It is the point
of temptation that makes the criminal
—the time, place and circumstance.
There is no specific reason for crime,
it is a combination of reasons."
PRINTERS RAISE WAGES
Calgary, Alberta, Canada.—News
paper printers in this city and in Ed
monton raised wages and secured a
three-year contract. Rates the first
two years will be $47.25 for day work
and $50.25 for night work. For the
third year day work will be $48 and
night work $51.

IRON WORKERS'
STRIKE BRINGS
WAGE INCREASE
Chicago.—Structural iron workers
won their strike for higher wages.
Wages are advanced from $12 to $13
a day.
Union opponents expressed surprise
at this "high" wage, but no mention
is made of the number of iron work
ers who are killed and disabled, and
the short work period during the year.
It is estimated that no large build
ing is erected in this city without th"
loss of at least one iron worker's life.
Last year 66 were killed and 38 per
manently disabled. These workers are
employed on an average of 146 days
a year.
