JOBS, o., July 18th, 1s9s.-At a
mass meeting held by Jobs Local
No. 29O Of Jobs, Ohio, we the under
signed committee was elected to
have published the following reso-
lutions, which is as follows:
RESOLVED, That we suspend
payment of dues to the organiza-
tion, National and State and Sub
Dist. No. l of Dist. until new Off
GERS are elected. The reasons for
passing said resolutions are as fol-
lows: 1st President Ra:chford has
appointed r. M. Mason as solicitor
and organizer, Notwithstanding the
fact that Mr.. Mason has been con-
demned by the miners of Jobs mine,
(being one of our men,) for willfully
keeping money from the widow
and the orphan, which was justly
due them. This money was en-
trusted to him TO turn over to them
said money. In this he failed. In
as much as he was pronounced un-
trustworthy and unfit to hold any
Office, and they removed him from
q position as treasurer of our mine,
Furthermore, Jobs miners entered
a protest against him acting as
Sub-District Secy-Treas. Now MIR.
Ratchford was fully aware of this
fact ten months ago. In as much
as Mr.. Ratchford put such man
In the field we condem such action
Also the State Vice. President has
been kept at home much of his time
unnder Il salary of $50 per month
when there was plenty of work to
do, and we believe it should have
been done. Furthermore the Sub
Dist. President and Secy-Treas
has ignored the constitution of the
Sub-Dist. in as much as the Sub
Dist. President has not forced the
Secv-Treas. to give bond as the con
stitution provides for. Also the
Sub-Dist. President, Mr.. Masor
has expended money illegally by
attending machine mems conven
tion, which they had no right to do
thus adding cost to the Sub-Dist
, when it was already in debt to the
ex-president for work done las
, year and in as much as they have
done this, we denounce them as be
) ing unworthy and unjust to hole
: Office, and unworthy to handle the
funds of we'll organized men. Many
other things can be truthfully sait
of the officers, but it is too tedious
to mention at this time, and if any
: of our fellow miners doubt thes
: facts, we would be glad to have yol
d investigate for yourselves. w
o are, / will venture to say, better oil
k ganized than any other mine in tn
s state, but we will not support raj
cality.
