STORE
OPENING SATURDAY
Saturday, April 24, 1937, marks the
opening of Humbach's new General
Electric Appliance Store, located on
the northeast corner Second and Mar
ket streets.
Under the guidance of the ever pop
ular Ed. Humbach and Barney Schin
dler, extensive remodeling has taken
place during the past month, in which
no expense or effort was spared, and
has resulted in a store that is both
one of the most modernistic and beau
tiful in southern Ohio.
Both sides are flanked by huge
plate glass show windows, permitting
an unobstructed view of the many
fine electrical appliances.
The inside walls are attractively
finished in i-ed ply wood, set off by
strips of chronium., while attractive
linoleum adorns the floors. The entire
color scheme and design is one that is
at the same time attractive and beau
tiful to the eye. But to really appre
ciate this beautiful new store it is
necessary to see it yourself.
A full line of General Electric ap
pliances is handled by Humbach's
and will be on display at the open
ing. This is the same line of appli
ance which has been handled by Hum
bach's for years, and in that time
setting a record for dependability and
low upkeep cost.
Mr. Humbach and Mr. Schindler
cordially invite everyone to attend
their great opening this Saturday
April 24, at their new location, Sec
ond and Market streets.
It will be well worth everyone's
time to look over this modern and
beautiful store. A store that Mr.
Humbach, Mr. Schindler and all Ham
ilton can well be proud of.

House Labor Committee
Backs Slap at "Sit-Down"
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—After
an internal fight, the house labor
committee approved the senate
adopted resolution condemning sit
down strikes and employer violations
of the Wagner act as contrary to
"sound public policy."
The committee vote to report the
resolution favorably was 11 to 4.
Earlier the committee, after a long
discussion, tabled a motion by 8 to 7
to delay consideration of the resolu
tion until members had had an oppor
tunity to study the supreme court's
decision on the Wagner act cases.
Opponents to reporting the senate
resolution held that the supreme
court had already decided the issue,
that congress had no power to legis
late on sit-down strikes and that it
would not be advisable to take up the
resolution which, they felt, might
"complicate" the present situation.
Mexican Strike Halts
U. S. Train at Border
Calexico, Cal. (ILNS)—A San
Diego and Eastern Arizona railroad
train, carrying U. S. mail from San
Diego and California points to Yuma,
Ariz., was halted in three attempts to
cross the international border into
Mexicali where a general strike was
under way.
Mobs of union men and women sym
pathizers blocked the tracks. The
crew finally backed up the train.
New Orleans (ILNS)—Members of
the Bricklayers and Masons Union
No. 1, will go on a $1.25 an hour wage
scale beginning «une 20, J. R. White,
president, announced. The resent
scale is $1 an hour. The pre-depres
sion scale was $1.50 an hour. The
union has also decided to demand an
eight-hour day and five-day week, af
fective at the same time.

After vainly hunting through several

"And where Is Florence, anywayt"

"That's her, the little dog sitting
over there with the luggage," answered
the old lady sweetly.
True Observation
The professor of economics had been
talking steadily for more than an hour,
and his class was becoming a trifle
restless.
"Take any article, for Instance," he
droned on. "When It is bought it goes

"What about coal?" Interposed ft
weary voice.
The professor gazed over his glasses
at the interrupter.
"Well," he snapped, "what about it?"
"When coal's bought doesn't It go
to the cellar?" asked the youthful stu
dent.

"Do you like your school, Jimmy?"
"Yes, sir we have a fine school,

HOW "RADICALISM
MAY BE CURED
By DR. CHARLES STELZLE
Executive Director, Good Neighbor
League
Idealism of the finest type is re
sponsible for social unrest of a con
structive character. This kind of un
rest simply cannot be thwarted. It
cannot be stopped by police power or
by armies and navies. It may seem
to be suppressed for a time, but ulti
mately it will conquer because it is
based upon those principles which are
eternal and which have marked the
progress of the human race.
But there is a kind of social unrest
or "radicalism," pai-ticularly in the
field of labor, of which we are not so
proud—a radicalism which breeds ha
tred and murder, and which depends
purely upon force in order to conquer.
It must not be assumed that all
those workers in industry who have
become bitter and feel impelled to
use force are necessarily criminally
inclined. They may have suffered be
cause of great injustice when they
were helpless to defend themselves,
or because they believe that-someone
is trying to do them a great injury.
This should be kept in mind in a dis
cussion of the labor problem.
How may this situation be reme
died? How may it be eliminated?
First, there must be a develop
ment of confidence. Today there is a
suspicion on both sides. The workers
are suspicious of everything the boss
suggests, and the better it looks to
them, the more they suspect a trick.
On the other hand, the boss does not
trust his employes and he organizes
methods whereby he can trap those
who are presumed to be working
against his interest. This is often
done through professional spies, who
are usually unscrupulous, in order to
create the impression that they are
"on the job."
Second, there must be constructive
and whole-hearted co-operation. The
employer must not be merely negative,
setting up certain forms of "rules and
regulations," which are usually irri
tating to the workers and provoke th
very things which they are supposed
to prevent. Labor, on the other hand
develops its own plans in secret, some
times without a full knowledge of th
purposes of sincere-minded employer
—and there are many such.
Third, there should be a frank an*
full discussion of all the facts relat
ing to industry and labor, so tha
there may be a perfect understand^
between them. It is always better
understand a man than to silence hin
simply because one has the power
do so.
Fourth, both industry and labo
should be big enough to confess tha
they have been wrong, when the
have been wrong. Nothing irritate
so much as the claim to infallibilit
or perfection, and nothing compels
man to lower his fists and hold out hi
hand quite so quickly as the confessio:
that he has made a mistake. There'
nothing left to fight about!
Fifth, there must be absolute jus
tice—social and economic. Nothini
short of this will wipe out radicalism
The only way to destroy radicalisr
is to destroy those things which caus
radicalism.

We might add the necessity of ap
preciation of work well done. Nothing
cheers so much as this, and nothing
creates such good feeling between
men.
SHORTS
Mr. Dooley brought up to date:
"The (odd man of the) supreme
court follows the election returns
(five months late)."
No one who really believes in the
New Deal will consent to trust its
fate to so changeful and uncertain a
person as Mr. Justice Roberts.
The five new decisions of the su
preme court admit the right of con
gress to regulate practically any busi
ness conducted on an interstate scale.
This is one thing that the administra
tion has been fighting for—but not
the only one.
One man is restored to his job,
with back pay, by the supreme court
decision in the Associated Press case
6 by the decision in the Fruehauf
Trailer case 10 in the Jones & Laugh
Ian case 18 in the Friedman-Harry
Marks case 22 in the bus case. But
millions of workers feel a security
now which they never felt before.
