SIOGIE MAKERS
GET HELP IN FIGHT
FOR RECOGNITION
State Federation
Acts FaDOrabLy
On Question

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. go
Three resolutions of Importance to
the District of Columbia especially,
and to the country in general, were
presented to the West Virginia State
Federation of Labor yesterday and
were acted upon faYorabIy. They were
presented at the instance of Sam De
Nedfey, fraternal delegate from the
American Relocation Of Labor, who
lives in Washington. The resolutions
declare in favor of a later date for the
nauguratIon of the President, the bal
lot for the residents of the District Of
Columbia, and the throwing open to
the public of Mt. Vernon.
The Federation takes the grounG
that the inaugural date should be
changed owing to the fierce weather
which IL usual on March 4tl. The
country's leading citizens are neces.
saarily exposed to the elements, en-
dangering their lives.
The residents OF the District have
no ballot, and It is the sense OF the
state Federation that this be extended
them.
To visit Mt. Vernon one encounters
many fees, and the Federation takes
the stand that this is wrong, that tae
nome OF the hrsL pfesluent ls a POM
of interest to all visitors at the capi-
tai, and should be open to the public
free.
The Federation also took favorable
action on the fight OF the National
Stogfe Makers for recognition by the
American Federation. For several
years the cigar makers :aEe kept the
stogfe makers otu. and the State Fed
Grafton pledges support in their light
to be recognized.
While De Nedrey was sent here pri-
marily to settle some differences be.
tween the glass workers, he fiuGs that
he will have nothing to do in that line.
The flint glass workers were formerly
AFFILIATED with the State Federation;
but only the bottle workers were REQ
ognized by the American Federation
The bottle workers objected to the
recognition by the State OF the flint
workers, and about Stwo months ago,
in order to prevent any trouble, the
flint glass workers voluntarily with
drew from the state Federation. Somf
trouble was expected frOn. the cleo
trical workers, but they are not repre-
sented at the meeting here.
