The assertion coming from yer the
river that the Belmont Central Trades
and Labor Union will be a short-lived
affair, is resented by delegates here.
They say, IN the other hand, the mem
bership of the organization will in
crease, as many Ohio locals refused to
SEND delegates because of the alleged
domination Of the Wheeling body.
Within the next few weeks it is expect
ed to almost double the membership of
the union. Locals No. SO and "a, Flint
Glass Workers, have already promised
to send delegates, and it is also expect
ed to get the moulders from the Bel
laire stove works back into the fold
again. From Bridgeport and Martins
Ferry delegates are expected from the
OldChSQllIllc, 6lOLt HidSOuS d1u WdSOn-
makers locals, and several new lodges
formed among the iron workers.
