THE YOUNGSTOWN LABOR ADVOCATE.

     The Youngstown Journal, a weekly devoted to local industrials and labor almost exclusively, made its initial appearance Feb. 1, 1907, and is practically the successor of the Labor Advocate.  The new labor organ is owned, edited and published by Byron Williams, a well known and versatile local newspaper man, who successfully wrote at different times for the two local dailies, and who did his last work, before branching out for himself, on the deceased Labor Advocate. 
    
Editor Williams, in his first issue, had the following to say by way of editorial or salutatory:
     "The Youngstown Journal is devoted to the publication of news pertaining to the industries and labor of Youngstown and vicinity, and for the dissemination of general information.  It will be the aim to keep the public well informed in regard to these matters in a thorough and impartial manner.  We most respectfully ask the support of the public, and will at all times endeavor to merit it."
     The Journal is neat in appearance and an eight-page paper with six columns to the page, each one of which is alive with advertisements.
