allowed as read.
Under the head of the reports of
delegates and organizations, the fol
lowing reported:
Bakers reported all working except

started by the organization against
the non-union bread coming into the
city. All of their members have been
placed on committees and they also
ask Trades Council to assist them in
their campaign.
Carpenters reported everything is
all right with them.
Molders' Union reported William
son and Holland furnaces unfair.
Metal polishers report organization
in good shape but work is slack.
Painters report work is slow.
Plumbers also report work slow.
Printers report conditions 0. K.,
and that a new delegate should have
been at the meeting.
Electric street railway employes
reported everything O. K.
Milk and ice cream wagon drivers
report National and White Cross
dairies unfair to their organization.
Delegates instructed not to get Na
tional Dairy Corporation confused
with National Dairy.
Electrical workers report Wente
still unfair, and negotiating new con^
tract with contractors.
Cigar makers reported trade slow.
Wm. Penn, Chesterfield, Robert Burns
and White Owl cigars, manufactured
by the trust, unfair.
President Bowers stated that he
had been approached by a member of
another organization to have the
council assist in completing a fence
around the garden of the children's
fresh air camp. On motion $8.00 were
donated.
Resolutions on the death of Jack
Scheaf, deceased, were read. The
chair called for a rising vote on the
adoption of the resolutions and the
same was unanimous.
Ed Sims was appointed on a com
mittee to secure the fairgrounds for
next Labor Day.
UNIONISM
By C. S. BOWERS
Unionism as I see it is for all of
us to go down the line together for
better and cleaner business. Now,
when I say, "go down, the line to
gether," I mean "All for one and one
for all." The age-old adage, "In
union there is strength," is as true
today as ages ago when first uttered,
but can we have strength in an or
ganization composed mostly of weak
lings Can such an organization de
mand respect?
An organization to accomplish a
given goal must be of one mind and
one purpose. Its members must all
be grounded in the same common
thought, for an organization with its
members striving for selfish ends is
doomed to failure at the start.
So it behooves us at the beginning
of this year to take stock of our
selves and see of what metal or alloy
we are composed.
Are we trying to help our fellow
workman? Are we giving him words
of advice and timely counsel when
he is up against it, or do we delight in
seeing a brother make a' failure in
our desire to further the interests of
our organization by trying to im
prove it from the inside?
What are we doing for the new
members coming into our organiza
tion? Are our conduct and actions
at meetings worthy of their respect?
Do we give them the glad hand in
earnestness and sincerity? Do we in
struct them about their labors so they
will have a better standing with their
employer, or do we deftly slip stum
bling blocks hi their pathway, trying
to further our own personal selfish
ends at someone else's expense?
It is easy to wreck a brother's repu
tation and myriad are the ways it
can be done, but what have we gained
when once accomplished? We cannot
hope to rise above our organization,
and as it sinks so do we, and inevit
ably it sinks or rises from our own
actions.

SAN FRANCISCO: Under articles
of incorporation already filed with
the Secretary of State of California,
permanent trustees took over on
March 26 the ownership of the prop
erty and buildings which are to
accommodate the Christian Science
Benevolent Association for Pacific
Coast. The Association, which will
open its doors to guests about the
middle of May, was established in
accordance with Section 8 of Article
I of the Manual of The Mother
Church, The First Church of Christ,
Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts.
The Benevolent Association for
Pacific Coast is the third large (hari
table institution established by The
Mother Church, totaling an invest
ment of over $4,000,0' 0 The Chris
tian Science Benevolent Association,
located in Chestnut Hill, Mass., was
chartered in 1916, and The Christian
Science Pleasant View Home, located
in Concord. N. H.. in 1925. While
It has been said and truly that
here was too much arguing upon the
floor of the local union, but if we
were sincere and earnest in our de
sire to improve our opportunity and
all played square with ourselves we
would have little to argue about on
meeting nights.
Our shops are mostly what we as
individuals make them. If we are
weak and wobbly in the knees and all
jelly in the back our shop will be the
same. You cannot fool your employer
long. If you coddle up to him, play
up to him for petty favors, he will
have you breaking down your own
conditions and those your local work
ed so hard to build.
No more painful truth was spoken
spoken than the statement I heard
from the lips of one of our employ
ers some time ago, and it bears out
what I have just said. They were
speaking of workingmen on unfair
jobs and this employer said, "I can
always find one or two weak fellows
in my bunch who will do this class
of work."
Now, why are they weak They are
weak because they are trying to fur
ther their personal selfish interests
ahead of their organization, and are
also trying to get a stand-in with
their employer, hoping to get some
favor from him, when in truth it is
the employer who is getting the
favor all the time.
If we could do away with selfish
personal desire, keep arguments of a
petty personal nature off the floor,
and ascertain the facts of a case be
fore we accuse a brother of wrong
doing, we would advance the interests
of our fondest hopes.
LABOR LAW SIGNED
Albany, N. Y.—Governor Roose
velt signed the Cornaire bill, which
adds four occupational diseases to the
workmen's compensation law. The
governor, in approving the bill, took
oocasion to urge the adoption of his
plan to place all occupational diseases
under the compensation law "instead
of this piecemeal method of adding
a few diseases each year."
Shreveport, La.—Orion Merret, vice
president Louisiana Federation of
Labor, died at his home here after a
short illness.
CHAIN STORES TAXED
Frankfort, Ky.—The Kentucky sen
ate, by a vote of 27 to 11, passed
bill levying a graduated tax on the
gross sales of retail stores. The bill,
which has passed the house, is aimed
at chain stores. A representatiev of
the chains said the bill could be evad
ed by chain companies incorporating
each store separately with the result
that only the large department stores
would be heavily taxed.
BANKERS FACE
FACTS DISCARD
PIOUS HOPES
New York.—Wall street is not in
terested in hopes of an early business
revival. These financiers have every
facility for compiling industrial
facts, and they do not. risk their
money on air castles and enthusiasm.
That this fact-finding policy is the
rule is indicated by Laurence Stern,
financial editor New York World:
"The business situation is recog
nized as less hopeful than it had been
considered a month ago, and the
growing probability that a major re
vival will be delayed until next au
tumn unquestionably is tending to
check speculative enthusiasm."
There are many unionists who en
joy the benefits of trade unionism and
dissipate its strength when making
purchases. Demand the union label.

Resolutions approving the action of

preparing to enter the republican pri
maries with a complete ticket pledged
to the political platform of the Amer

Ohio State Federation of Labor at
their session in the Hotel Sinton, Cin

Metropole, which was addressed by
Herbert S. Bigeiow,. Bigelow was
made a member ex officio of all com
mittees of the body.
Resolutions adopted by the Ohio
Federation of Labor executive board
Wednesday were as follows:
"Inasmuch as the plan offered by
the Labor Conference for Political
Action of Hamilton county appears to
be in conformity with the principles
and policies of the American Federa
tion of Labor for the nomination and
election of those favorable to labor,
therefore, be it
"Resolved, That the executive
board of the Ohio State Federation
of Labor approve the plan and pur
pose of the Labor Conference for Po
litical Action of Hamilton county, and
"Resolved further, That the presi
dent of the federation be authorized

ilar activity in other industrial cen
ters of Ohio."
Nine Counties to Be Campaigned
With this authority leaders spon
soring the movement expect to organ
ize nine counties of Ohio immediately
in an effort to name candidates for
the legislature. In most instances
the candidates are to seek nomina
tions in the republican primary elec
tions.
The executive board also discussed
the unemployment situation during
its conference in Cincinnati. Efforts
are being made to stimulate building
projects that will give employment
to union labor throughout the state.
Following the session of the exec
utive board two sessions of the Old
Age Pension Conference were held at
the Hotel Sinton. The conference was
called by the Ohio Federation of La
bor.
Addresses by Dr. C. C. North, Ohio

session. Both speakers urged the
adoption of an old age pension act by
the Ohio legislature.
In the afternoon Thomas Donnelly,
secretary of the Ohio Federation of
Labor, was the principal speaker. Mr.
Donnelly declared that economic con
ditions had made old age pensions
necessary.
The conference adjourned to meet
in Columbus within 30 days, when a
permanent organization is to be
formed. In the meantime an effort is
to be made to have all organizations
favoring old age pensions send rep
resentatives to the meeting. At the
morning session Congressman Wil
liam Morgan, Newark, Ohio, acte as
temporary chairman. In the after
noon M. O. Burns, Hamilton, was
named temporary chairman.

TECH ENGINEERS
FORM UNION
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—Presi
dent C. L. Rosemund, of the Interna
tional Federation of Technical Eng
neers, Architects and Draftsmen, re
ports the formation of a local union
of technical men at Denver, Colo.
Denver engineers, architects and
draftsmen have been badly in need of
organization. Many cases are re
ported of engineers and architects re
ceiving only $125 a month or less.
The wages, after four years of col
lege training, are said to be gener
ally less than wages of the average
union craftsmen.
Reports indicating increased inter
est in organization among technical
workers are being received here and
President Rosemund expects the for
mation of other local unions in the
next few months.
