The Toy Mission, 211 High street
is fast growing- into what promises
to be the greatest accumulation of
toys, novelties, whatnots, etc., for the
amusement and gladdening of the
hearts of little ones, ever gathered
together in Hamilton. But like the
oldtime street car, there is always
room, and need, for more. If you
have any unused, worn or battered
toys and playthings about the house
that can be spared or that the chil
dren are willing to give up for the
gladdening of some less fortunate
little one, get it to the Toy Mission
at once.
This year the distribution of bas
kets at Christmas time is being left
to the welfare and relief organiza
tions. The basket contents are to be
augmented with the addition of
chickens and fresh vegetables, can
dies, etc. But that really wouldn't
mean anything to those too young
to understand the situation, and why
Santa Claus didn't come around, as he
did to the little boy and girl next
door. And here is where the Toy
Mission comes in. The mission is to
fill in the program of "Hamilton's
Modified Christmas in Every Home
by seeing to it that every child, on
Christmas morn, is made happy and
glad and has reasons for thinking
there really is a Santa Claus. Could
you help in a better cause? If you
haven't any disused or old toys, and
can afford it, why not buy a few new
ones and bring them in. Man, what
a picnic and circus you can get out
of the thought of making some little

LABOR REPRESENTATION ON CODE
AUTHORITIES ^-T\'
The recommendation made by the Labor Advisory Board to the National
recovery administration and by William Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, for adequate labor representation on all NRA code
authorities and labor policy boards exemplifies such a just principle that
the wonder is it was not applied when the first code was established.
NRA codes consist of two major sections. One section prohibits various
forms of unfair practice which business concerns have resorted to in
order to swipe trade from each other. These practices run all the way
from price cutting to commercial bribery. This section of the codes at
tempts to civilize commercial transactions, and largely concerns the owners
of industry.
The other major section of the codes is the labor section. This section
guarantees the right of the workers to organize into bona fide trade unions
without interference from employers and establishes a number of rules
the observance of which is made mandatory. These rules prohibit em
ployers from paying less than the minimum wage rates or working em
ployes longer hours than the code establishes, and from making company
union membership compulsory as the price of a job.
one glad on Christmas Day.
Then another thing. Many toys are
coming in that need repair and paint
and men are needed, especially those
handy with tool and brush. You, who
have nothing else to do these days,
why not come in and help out a few
hours Think of the fun you get out
of it, and—again, "could you help
in a better cause?
:o:
In the hearings before the NRA on practically every code the organized
employers, speaking through their trade associations, persistently and mili
tantly fight adequate wage rates, decent hours, the right of the workers
to organize in effective trade unions for their protection and are especially
vindictive against the company union prohibition. In short, while the em
ployers are friendly to the unfair practice section of the codes, they are
hostile to the labor section, the proper administration of which is of vital
interest to the employes.
BUY SEALS
The 27th annual Christmas health
seals sale is now in progress, and
will continue up to Christmas Day.
The sale of the little seals makes
possible the carrying on of a contin
uous campaign in Ohio against tuber
culosis and other diseases.
Health work done in Butler county
which benefits from the sale of
sale of Christmas seals includes the
Kiddies' Health Camp, nursing staff
to tubercular patients in the commu
nity, and the weekly dental clinic.
How much better and brighter
your Christmas packages and mail
will look with the gay little seals
attached. Buy seals—buy lots of
them.
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
A little Washington girl, just
turned 4, says: "After a few little
days Christmas will be here—just a
few little days." The little girl
speaks truer than she knows. Noth
ing goes faster than time, as most
persons realize when they begin to
accumulate years, and Christmas will
be upon us before we know it.
Which behooves all who are in a
position to do any Christmas buying
to get busy at once and give early
assistance to Santa Claus. Unfortun
ately, some millions are unable to
In view of the well-known opposition of most of the trade associations
to the labor section of the codes, it seems reasonable and appropriate that
to secure impartial administration of the wages and hours restrictions and
right to organize mandates, that there should be adequate labor represen
tation on the code authorities which administer both the business and labor
sections. But so far the code authorities consist almost exclusively of the
trade associations, which compiled the codes without consulting the work
ers, organized or unorganized, modified in certain instances by the inclusion
of a small voteless representation of the NRA.
This is an anomaly that should be promptly corrected. As President
Green, of the A. F. of L., said: "Labor holds that if there is to be a part
nership between industry, labor and the government, each party should be
treated with equal consideration." The equal consideration so vital to
the success of the national recovery act will only become a fact which labor
is adequately represented on all NRA code authorities and labor policy
boards.

help Santa and others are able to
give only a little assistance. But
those who can will benefit them
selves and others by doing their shop
ping without delay, before the last
grand rush begins.
By buying now Christmas shoppers
will have the advantage of better
stocks and better attention from sales
people. They will have the advantage
of an unhurried selection. Even
more important, they will be helping
the store clerks, who are always
overworked at the height of the hol
iday season.
And of equal importance, buy in
Hamilton. Buy from those who, by
payment of taxes and taking part in
affairs pertaining to the welfare of
the city, support and keep things in
the city running along in smooth
manner. No need for going out of
town for Christmas shopping needs
when Hamilton stores are stocked
from cellar to attic with fine, clean
new stocks that include everything in
the way of toys, novelties, wearing
apparel, household goods of all kinds
furniture, electrical appliances, etc
And at prices, in many instances, far
more attractive than offered by out
side concerns. Then too, think of the
many advantages of exchanging gifts
which ofttimes don't suit, fit in, or
something of that kind, when you buy
in the home stores. Buy in Hamilton.

variety. Dollfus aims at a state in
which democracy will be virtually
non-existent and the masses of the
people will do as they are told. In
pursuance of his aim, the chancellor
has warred on trade unions and other
democratic organizations that he
doesn't like.
Reporting on the situation in Aus
tria, the International Federation of
Trade Unions throws lightoftPoll
fuss' tactics, saying::
"Arrests and persecutions are con
tinuing in Austria. Meetings are
broken up on the most trivial pre
texts: persons disturbing broad

imprisonment as if they were har

pant. An attempt is already being
made to suppress the trade unions

not a member of the national center,
yet hold the same views, has been
dissolved on account of "the way in
which its journal was written'."

Well, here comes old man John
Barleycorn, stalking back among us,
big as life, standing up in his own
lawful boots, saying, Howde!
Of course, in a way, John has never
been away, as far as most of the
American area is concerned. But he
has had to go skulking around like
a criminal.
Now he comes back by invitation,
by declaration, by the determination
of the people to have him around
Funny the way a nation can experi
ment and fool around, trying to get
some place.
Those who think the Roosevelt
method of experimentation 5s nfew
might have a look at the experimen
tation which began with prohibition,
with which Roosevelt had nothing in
particular to do.
There's a lot of fooling around to
be done wth the method of handing
this new comer. Some of it will be
utterly idiotic and some will be sane
Perhaps most of it will be not so
sane. But there are still a lot of
folks who don't have anything to do
except carry out a self-imposed mis
sion to run the lives of others. And
how busy they are right now!
So, we shall add a few more to the
thousands upon thousands of laws
which we now have and which no sin
gle person can understand or begin
to remember.
Without doubt there will be a lot
of experimentation with the idea that
liquor may be served to those who
sit at tables, but not to those who
stand at bars, which puts liquor with
in the reach of those who can afford
to sit at tables, out of the reach of
those who either cannot afford the
luxury or who do not at the moment
care for food.
As we welcome John Barleycorn
back among us in his newly achieved
legal right, we look upon the recap
itulation of the results of the late
visit of Mr. Maxim Litvinoff.
The further away Mr. Litvinoff
gets the more we wonder whether he
wasn't a pretty smooth article while
he was here.
Th« effort to dig out of the agree
ment which he signed any real guar
antee against soviet propaganda
leads only up a blind alley.
Somehow, the words, when examin
ed in the cold gray dawn of several
mornings after don't seem to con
tain any guarantee at all, because of
the unique structure of the soviet
machine.
Well, if Uncle Sam gets fooled, it
won't be the first time. He has been
fooled before, will be fooled again

Big Business and its trained par
rots and trained seals is hot after
NRA, intent upon doing to death that
revivifying tonic for what so recent
!y was a very sick nation.
The first criticism is cautious—
just a friendly word in the ea.
little later on it will be less friendly
and then pretty soon it will be hot
lead in the ear instead of friendly
words.
Partly it is a political battle that
is being steamed up and partly it is
a desire on the part of Big Business
to protect its ancient fiefs, to hang
onto its old proprietary right in the
business of soaking the people for all
the traffic will bear.
NRA has been far from the perfect
thing, but history reveals few pesfect
things in the way of human endeavor
It has done tremendous things and we
can very well stand some more of
the same. Beware of the Greeks when

Station as If glad to reach the end
of Its journey.
Joan felt terribly alone In ths big
railway terminal. What If her Oousla
John Browning should fall to meet
her? And how would h« recognize
her?'
He was to wear a blue tie, and to
have a handkerchief with a blue edge
sticking out of his pocket.
Some one touched her on the shoul
der, and at the same Instant a voice
Inquired—It was a pleasant voice—
"Are you my Cousin Joan?"
The newly arrived traveler turned
quickly. The owner of the voice was
younger and more prosperous in ap
pearance than she had expected
Cousin John to be, but he wore a blue
tie, and out of his pocket peeped a
handkerchief with a lavender edge.
The thought flashed through her mind,
"That's Just like a man to get colors
mixed."
Joan shuddered.
"I'm—I'm afraid there's been a mis
take," she said. "I'm Joan Bedford
and I've come from Iowa expecting to
be met at the station by my cousin,
John Browning. I'm afraid," she add
ed with an attractive smile, "that
you've got the wrong girl."
Herbert Randall looked thoroughly
bewildered. Then his face broke out
In a broad grin. "How extraordinary
he said. "But don't worry—I wasn't
trying to pick up a nice girl. Yon see
I was expecting to meet my cousin,
Joan Freeland, who was expected on
that train from the South. I've never
seen her and I doubt if she could be
more charming than you, 'Cousin
Joan.'"
Joan blushed and her heart took a
nose-dive.
"Isn't It funny," she laughed, "that
two Joans should have been expected
at the same time this morning and
both Intent on meeting respective
cousins?*'
Herbert Randall admitted it was and
added, "It surely Is. If it's all right
with you, let's return to Grand Cen
tral and see If we can't locate that
lost cousin of mine. After the mys
tery Is solved—as I hope It will bs
without the aid of the police or Trar
eler's Aid—I'll be glad to take you to
your destination."
Back at the station there was no
sign of the Joan from Texas. Her
bert decided perhaps Inquiring at the
Traveler's Aid desk might help mat
ters. It did and they learned that
Joan Freeland—described as a woman
with several bundles and a scotch ter
rier—had taken a taxi to an address
which was Herbert's home.
The young man uttered a sigh of re
lief.
"That's Cousin Joan, all right," he
declared. "I had forgotten she had
promised Mother a new Scotty pup,
You see, she raises them. Well, now
that the mystery of her whereabouts
Is solved, It's higb time you were taken
to your cousin's safely."
"I've been enough trouble to yon
already," Joan Bedford declared. *T11
follow the other Joan's example and
take a taxi. It's been terribly nice of
you to take care of me and—"
But Herbert interrupted. "You're
not going to escape from me so easily
young lady. Think of what might hap
pen If I left you to find your own
way about this huge city. I'd never
forgive myself If you got lost or
stranded. Now, what Is Oousln John's
address?"
Joan realised with pleasure that it
was useless to Insist on going off
alone in a taxi. So she took her
cousin's letter from her purse. "Here's
the address, Sir Galahad," she said
smilingly to Herbert.
"Thanks. It won't take long to get
there. And once you've had a night's
rest In the city, how abont a drive
with me tomorrow?"
In spite of her family's strong ad
vice before leaving for her visit, she
found her companion's suggestion ex
tremely agreeable. "Why, certainly,
she said, "And am I to continue as
•Cousin Joan'?"
"For a little while, anyway," said
Herbert, "At least until we can find
some other status that will be more
mutually aifpntable."

wYes,
rm your Ctrasin jtMrn," she
admitted, "and I was really beginning
to be frightened for fear I was lost."
The young man took her by the
arm.
"This way," he directed to the red
cap, steering his newly acquired rela
tive to the right. "My car 1s parked
out on the cross street."
Joan had scarcely expected so lux*
urlous a motor car, and the liveried
chauffeur still further amazed her, for
her understanding had been that her
city relatives were in limited circum
stances.
Her escort proceeded to point out the
places which he thought would Inter
est her.
"That Is the public library," he ex
plained, "and this thoroughfare Is said
to be the most famous In the world
Fifth avenue itself."
It was all a marvelous experience
to the girl from the small town In the
Mid-West. But when the car drew up
a few moments later In front of an
Imposing home and the chauffeur
turned with the query, "Shall I wait,
Mr. Herbert, an' take you down to the
ofllce again?" Joan was alarmed.
"No," her companion said, "I'm go
ing to stay at home for the after
noon."
