Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1910-06-23
A Joint
Celebration
Seems More and More Prob
able Now For All of
District.
BOTH SIDES
MAY COMBINE
Disposition Seems to Be to Get
Together All Along
Line.
BOTH SIDES
MAY COMBINE.

A joint celebration of Labor Day by
the Belmont and Ohio Valley Trades
and Labor Assemblies now seems more
probable.
At the meeting of the Belmont body
Sunday the tender Of the Ohio Valley
Assembly was read, asking the APP
pointment of a committee to confer
with q like committee from the former
body and see if some agreement cam
not be reached. Delegate Cruelle
moved that committee of five be ap-
pointed for this duty Delegate Tharp
complained that in days gone by the
Ohio Valley Assembly had refused the
percentage offers of the Belmont As
sembly, and thought that the COM
mittee should accept nothing less than
an even break. This, however, was
left for the committee to report on.
The committee appointed comprises
delegates Tharp, Chunelle, Heburn, Up
perman and Miller.
UNION LABEL ADVERTISING.
Delegate CruneHe brought before the
Assembly letter received by the Ma
jority from the Garment Workers
thanking the Majority for the good
work it had done for that organfza
ton, and the delegate called atten-
ton to the fact that the Labor paper
could not live on thanks, but that ev-
cry label craft ought to advertise their
label in the labor paper, and Delegate
Tharp moved that the secretary write
every label craft asking them to adj
vertise their label in the Majority.
DON'T LIKE PARK PROPOSITION.
Do v1r0nncitinn for
the Labor, Day picnic for the Belmont
ASSEMBLY was turned down. Chairman
Thafpe reported that the Park man
agement offered a percentage on all
business done before o'clock only,
leaving nothing for the Assembly on
any receipts for the evening. Delegate
Crunelle stated that it reminded him
of the old trick of finding pocket
book on the sidewalk only to have 1t
pulled away by string just before
picking it up. Chairman Tharpe stated
that several other organizations had
recently refused similar propositions
from the Wheeling Park management.
On motion the parks offer was unani-
mously turned down.
MUSICIANS COMPLAIN.
Musicians Mutual Protective Union
had a complaint before the Assembly
to the effect that a non-union band
had been employed by Mine Workers
Union No 978 of South Bellaire. AS
the Mine Workers Union in question
is not af1iliated with the Central body
the chair ruled that the Assembly had
not jurisdiction and that the Must
clans Union should take the matter up
with John Zalenka, president Of the
sub. district organization,
ONE MEETING PER MONTH.
There is but one meeting per month
of the. Belmont body hereafter during
the warm weather. Under suspension
of the rules resolution was passed
changing the bylaws so as to provide
but one meeting per month-the third
Sunday-shall be held during the
months Of June, July, August and
September. This was thought to be
due he faithful delegates SO as not to
deprive them of all pleasure during
the summer Sundays.
ASSEMBLY NOTES.
President Mike Snyder was on deck
as usual
Everett Tharpe may not be as big
as Joe O'Toole but ne held down the
vice presidents chair just as hard.
The hot weather made something. of
bump in the attendance.
