The Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly met in regular session yes
terday afternoon with fairly good at
tendance. The session was brief.
President Riley was in the chair. Frank
A. Egger, secretary Of the National
Bartenders League, who is here to or
ganize local union, was introduced
and made an address explaining the OBJ
jects Of the order.
The strike of Runners painters was
brought up and discussed. The dele
gates from the painters union explain
ed the difficulty, stating that Mr.. Kur-
ner had insisted upon the men, who
were working en- a job in the country,
to go out on the a. m motor instead
of the Z o'clock motor, thus compelling
the men to work ten hours, which was
against the rules of the union. A let
ter from Mr.. Kurner was read, which
stated that he had suggested that the
difficulty be submitted to disinterested
parties for arbitration, but that the
painters had refused to do this. The
painters delegates stated that they OBJ
jected to the matter being submitted
to outside parties for settlement but
would be willing to have it given to
the arbitration committee of the Trades
Assembly. A motion was made that
the letter of Mr.. Kurner be referred to
the painters union. This motion was
passed and the whole matter was re-
ferred back to the painters union.
Labor Day committee reported that
the street parade had been dispensed
with and that two wheels of fortune
had been permitted to be placed on the
grounds. A communication from
Local Union No. 20, of Wagon and Car
riage Workers, of Washington, D. c.,
asking for funds to prosecute parties
who we're seeking to violate inter-
State commerce and anti-monopoly
laws was read and motion passed that
each local be notified of the import of
the communication and be asked to
make contribution.
The boycott list was read and mo-
ton was made to strike off the names
of two defunct coal dealers in this
city, but this motion was withdrawn,
as the Assembly still had boycott on
the coal which they had handled and it
was thought possible that these deal
ers might go into business again at
any time.
The credentials of Edward Dittmore,
as delegate of subordinate lodge No. 2,
National Tobacco Workers Union, and
of Harry Kurner, as delegate from
Local No 81, Painters and Decorators,
to fill the unexpired term OF J. H.
Fink, were received and the delegates
admitted to Trades Assembly.
The Assembly then adjourned.

A fairy tale is being run in the
News, alleged to be written by a State
Officer, which reads like a chapter
from Munclausen.
1t is dragged along from day to day
and each serial winds up with Con
tinued in the Next, just when the
reader imagines something horrid will
be told. No doubt the author has
been a profound reader of family
story papers, as his style would indi-
cate.
The basis of the tale is composed
chiefly of wild fancies and improbable
tiles, with not II iota Of plausibility.
1t undoubtedly makes good reading
for shallow Drained Republicans who
would rather be Hannaites and have
the State ruined by his policy than
join in the independent efforts of a
large majority of the citizens of New
ada to restore silver and bring pros
peTity.
There is rot II truthful statement
