"CATCH MY SMOKE" At the Rialto Next Week,

Is Cry of the Retail Clerks

It's all "Catch My Smoke" these days with the local retail clerks. "Catch My Smoke" is the name of the picture to be staged at the clerks' big benefit at the Rialto theatre, Friday and Saturday nights of next week "Catch My Smoke" features Tom Mix and his famous pony, Tony, and it is said to be one of the finest of screen efforts of the season. The clerks were fortunate that Manager Schwalm secured for them this wonderful pic­ture for their big benefit show.

In addition to the feature picture, Manager Schwalm has added a fas­cinating Sunshine - comedy, entitled "Step Lively, Please," an Urban clas­sic, entitled "Towering Wonders of Utah," and Rialto News, making one big bill for the clerks' two big nights.

Because of the big crowds expected on these two nights, the clerks ask that all those who can possibly do so

attend the show on Friday night.

RETAIL CLERKS Hold Big Meeting — Elect

Joe Tut as, Secretary

Local Retail Clerks' Union No. 119 met in regular session Monday night with a large attendance. A vacancy occurring in the office of secretary and delegate to Trades Council, Jos­eph Tutas was elected to fill both these unexpired terms. Joe is a live young trade unionist and much is ex­pected from him, and all are certain that he will fill the bill.

After much regular routine busi­ness was transacted, the organization completed arrangements for the big benefit show to be held at the Rialto theatre, Friday and Saturday nights of next week. The secretary reported the tickets going like hot cakes, many members renewing their supply. Pres­

ident Wunderlich reported the souvenir program to be issued in connection with the show is now in the hands of the printers. When this program is issued it will be found to be the handsomest of the kind ever gotten out by a local trade union, and will be a credit to the clerks and especially to President Wunderlich, who has

worked so hard for its success. The clerks are asking that all store em­

ployes and friends where possible to attend the show Friday, and relieve tihe congestion on Saturday night, when it is expected a record-breaking

attendance at the Rialto will occur

HOSIERY AT DAN COHEN'S

A new department has been added to the Dan Cohen shoe store opened this week. The new department is for the handling of hosiery, both men's and women's. Hosiery for children will be added later. The front part of the store has been es­pecially arranged for this new de­partment, new shelves and counters installed, making an attractive addi­tion to this already beautiful shoe store. The line will be complete in every particular—the Dan Cohen way under the guidance of R. C. Giesting, the live and hustling local manager oooOrl skBef.e(CMFWY F F F FF

MRS. KELLER IS DEAD

Wife of Well Known Union­ist Passed Away Tues­

day Morning

It was with much regret the an­nouncement was received on Tuesday morning of the death of Mrs. Mary Anna Keller, wife of Albert Keller, well known and popular member of the local Typographical Union. The death of Mrs. Keller is unusually sad. Just last week the Press announced the birth of a son to Mrs. Keller in Mercy hospital, an event of much joy and great pride to both mother and father. All seemed going well until Sunday, when an affection of the heart developed, growing more serious hourly until Monday it was realized with much sadness by those surround­ing her that her time on earth was short. She passed away Tuesday morning at 5 o'clock.

Members of the Printers' Union met at the Journal office Thursday eve­ning and repaired in a body to the home of mourning, 1229 Chestnut street, where they reviewed the re­mains and paid their last sad respects.

Mrs. Keller was a most estimable woman, a kind neighbor, a loving wife and mother. To those remain­ing to mourn her loss the deep sym­pathy of a host of friends is extended.

ANDREWS FAVORS SIMPLIFYING COURT

ACTONS Editor Butler County Press:

There is pending in the legislature of Ohio, Senate Bill No. 165, by Mr. Collister, which provides for a judi­cial council to consist of the chief justice of the supreme court of Ohio, two associate judges of the supreme court, the chief justice of the court of appeals, one probate judge and one common pleas judge and three racticing attorneys, all to be selected y the chief justice. The purpose of this council thus

omposed is to study the organiza-' on, rules, methods of practice of the idicial system of this state and to evise and recommend a simpler and tore expeditious method of disposing f cases in coui't. The age-old complaint has been the

iw's delay. This delay usually rises from the fact that one litigant l a lawsuit is apt to be reluctant to roceed, and one party may be reluc-int at one stage of the case and the •ther party a a different stage.

Now, in this state there are so many ales and regulations adopted by the

legislature that the reluctant party an generally avail himself of one

<>r the other of these rules and apply n to serve his purpose. It is about as incongruous for the

egislature to regulate the courts as * would be for the courts to regulate ae legislature. They are both equal :i our triune system of government, nd the courts would make better irogress under rules prescribed by uch a council as this bill contem-lates than by the intricate system

>f statutes. The creation of the counci 1 con­

templated by the senate bill imposes no expense whatever on the public for they are to serve without com­pensation.

I wish the public would take kindly to this measure and urge its passage upon our representatives in the house and senators in the senate.

"HUMANIZING" PLAN Of Manager's Organization

Is Ancient Trick

New York.—The American Man­agement Association has been formed ii this city "to put the human touch 11 factory work." The scheme has ieen launched times without number >ut this is a sure go, its promoters

'ay' Speakers declared it is time to un-

lertake "consideration of the human factor in commerce and industry." No >ne suggested that the element most i tally interested be consulted. One peaker made this statement that has

i world of meaning: "The leaders of American industry

nust carry to the rank and file of the workers a clear and simple ex­planation of the problems of business s they relate to financing, production

and marketing." This would indicate that the so-

alled "humanizing" movement "is to >e an effort to acquaint workers with

the bosses' troubles—both real and maginary. The organizers of the ew association are mostly directors

of company "unions" for corporations like the Pennsylvania railroad, Stand­ard Oil Company of New Jersey, in­ternational Hravester Company, Car­negie Steel Company and United States Rubber Company.

It seldom pays to step on the gas as an officer steps on the running board.

CLERKS TO HAVE BANK

Cincinnati. — The comptroller of currency has approved the applica­tion of the Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks for a national bank charter. The membership is being solicited to subscribe 49 per cent, or complete control of the bank, will be held by the organization as such. The capital is to be $200,000, with a surplus paid of $50,000. A down payment of $75 on each share purchased is required and the bal­ance may be paid in five monthly in­stallments. Stockholders' dividends will be restricted to 10 per cent; pro­fits over that amount will be distrib­uted among depositors.

PRESSMEN'S AIDES GAIN

Washington.—Printing pre^s assist­ants in this city have secured wage increases that average 5V* per cent, through arbitration.

The arbitrator was James Wilmeth, former director of the bureau of en­graving and printing, who, together with 27 others, were recently released without charges being preferred against them. Since then they have failed to ascertain the reason for their dismissal.

MANAGERS WASTE Causes Loss of Millions To

Railroads, Declares Couzens

Washington.—If locomotives were efficiently handled on 40 railroads alone more than $500,000,000 would be saved annually, declared United States Senator Couzens in a public statement.

Railroad financiers scent trouble with the next congress and "railway loctors," Senator Couzens said, are preparing to give the nation an anes­thetic in the form of statstics, curv­ed lines and tables.

"The first thing that occurs to a railroad manager when he wants to reduce costs is to cut wages—that does not require any laborious brain work. But why not concentrate on means of cutting costs without re­ducing wages?

"The inadequacy of transportation facilities is chiefly responsible for high operating costs and consequently for excessive freight rates."

Senator Couzens referred to the common complaint that "while the country seems to be exceedingly pros­perous, there is restlessness and un­certainty on every hand." He sug­gested that citizens do not bury their heads in the sand like an ostrich, but that they give serious, open-minded consideration to the solution of diffi­culties responsible for this unrest.

RAIL STOCK DIVIDEND

New York.—The Louisville & Nash­ville railroad has declared a stock dividend of $45,000,000, or 62% per cent. This will increase the outstand­ing stock from $72,000,000 to $117,-000,000.

MORE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Harrisburg, Pa.—Rigid enforce­ment of the compulsory school law has brought 196,795 more children to school in this state than two years ago. The increase means that 4,000 additional school teachers are being employed.

MEYER FAVORS ADVERTISING

Merchants Have Work Cut Out for Them By New

President

If the members of the local Retail Merchants' Association carry out the work as is cut out for them by their new president, Fred S. Meyer, they are sure facing a year of activity. Presi­dent Meyer made his initial bow be­fore the organization the other day with a hear ye! hear ye! talk that keeps ringing in the ears of all who heard it. And the beauty of it is that the talk, like a successful vaccination, took. All the members are "gingered" up and full of "pep" since the live and controlling wire of the organiza­tion snapped his whip, and vow that the program and plan as laid down by the leader is to be carried out to the letter.

The activities of the year embraced in President Meyer's program deal with the attendance, budget, legisla­tion, trade promotion, sanction board, meetings, dollar day and many other subjects of importance to the retail merchants and the citizens of Hamil­ton in general. President Meyer Im­pressed very strongly on the mem­bers the importance and value of ad­vertising and of doing it in more judicious manner than has been done in the past. On the subject President Meyer said in part:

"While I'm on the subject of get­ting together, I want to say a word or two about advertising. The mer­chants will have to get together, and most of them still have to be told of the value of advertising. The mer­chants will have to bear in mind that newspapers are published six days a week; most of them seem to think that Friday is the only day on which it pays to advertise. I learned only a few hours ago that one of the news­papers lost money on Friday's issue, despite its large amount of advertis­ing carried—because it required too much overtime. I make this state­

ment deliberately and advisedly.

Therefore, let's endeavor to create a more far-reaching advertising propa­ganda. There's no reason in the world why Tuesday or Wednesday

or any other day can't be made as advantageous a day to advertise, as

Friday now appears to be. And above

all, let's all try to tell our fellow member s t he va lue o f adve r t i s i ng ( o n

a larger scale)."

GOMPERS RESISTS PNEUMONIA ATTACK

New York.—President Gompers' strong vitality aided him in warding off a serious attack of flue and pneu­monia, from which he is recovering in Lennox hospital. Shortly after his arrival in this city he became ill and was hastened to the hospital as the flu and pneumonia developed.

Dr. Fisch, his attending physician, insisted that he remain in the hospi­tal until the end of the week of March 11-17, that every possible dan­ger of a relapse be eliminated.

San Francisco.—The state housing

ommission is of inestimable aid to mmigrants, says William S. Gloria,

ditor of a Portuguese newspaper, in

jrotestmg against Governor Rich­ardson's "economy" policy, which would destroy this commission and

other social organizations maintained bv the state.

"With the aid of the state housing commission" he says, "the immigrant is no longer forced to work in mines and lumber camps under filthy and unsanitary conditions; he is no longer forced to sit by and uncomplainingly acquiesce in the artful schemes and contrivances which were formerly suc­cessfully practiced upon him."
