"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.
ALLEN ANDREWS. March 29, 1923.
"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.

OPPOSE FALSE ECONOMY
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."
