poorly attended. President kunkel

umbus Trades and Labor Assembly to
prevent the discrimination against
union labor on the buildings now being
constructed on the Ohio State Fair
grounds. The communication placed
the blame on the Ohio State Board OF
Agriculture.
The Union resolved, after some dis
cussion, net to observe the national
labor day, which is the first Monday
in September. 1t was suggested that
the body have a local celebration later
in the fall and unite with the Wheel
ing labor body in its celebration on
next Saturday.
= President Kunkel spoke in reference
to the lack of attendance that had been
noticeable for several meetings past
and deplored the fact that members
of the body were staying away with
out sufficient reasons and were not
showing a proper interest in the or
ganization. RE referred TO the action
of the milkmen and iron moulders IN
Withdrawing from the organization and
predicted that it would not be long
until the iron moulders would be MAX
ing an effort TO get back. Upon mo-
tiCn it was resolved that the delegates
present reports to their respective To-
calls and endeavor to have a full at
tendance at the next meeting. The
Union adjourned until the next regular
meeting on Sunday, September 4th.
OTHER BELLAIRE NOTES.
The bottle works, which have been
shut down for the usual summer stop,
is expected TO resume during this week.
1t has Teen predicted that the iron
moulGers, VINO Withdrew from the Bel
mont Centca! TRADES and Labor Union,
would lie seeking 20 get back into the
central association tefOre long and
it looks as if this predictio- may come
true before long. 1t remains to be
seen whether they will ever be taken
back or not. Last week niue OF the
moulders who are employed at the
Eellane stove foundry, were discharg-
cd for not working. Trey were fnaliy
taken back, however. except one man
and the ether employees threaten to
strike if he is not also employed again.
