Nac|liniistS Strike
On B: 30. 5. ".
Play Another Gard To Force Crippled
Railroad To Grant just
Demands.

Monday the machinists on the B.
& o. S. W. division walked out on
strike. This was called to force the
railroad company, to grant the de-
mands of the men, or, rather to force
the company to rescind its order re-
ducing the pay of the men by putting
them on the piece work basis. :.
For eleven months the machinists
have been on strike on the main d.
vision of the Baltimore & Ohio, and
although the company at first refused
to meet with the men or recognize
them in any way, several conferences
between the union and the railroad
company management at Baltimore
were recently held. These, howev-
er. were not productive Of tangible
results, and the strike order was is
sued.
While only 800 were expected to
come out, more than 400 answered
the CALL, completely tieing up the
company's shops throughout the di-
vision, which extends from Parkers-
burg to St. Louis. The International
Association of -Machinists. one of the
grandest fighting organizations in
trades unions, is going to win this
strike.

Case Falls Down.

Oe~tDO
The states case against John Ed
wards has completely collapsed. With
Monday taken up in securing jury
not "prejudiced" in favor of the
working man, and Tuesday and We'd
nesday devoted to the presentation
of the states case, it was plainly evil
dent thst the state completely failed
to make good its charges, and the
prediction was freely expressed that
the case would never 60 to the jury.
The state rested on Wednesday even
ing without even calling its last six
witnesses. George Bresock, whom
the workingmen elected mayor of
Bridgeport. was one Of the pro-Trust
witnesses, and William Casey gave
enough evidence to show what a cur
he was. After the Trust failed to
operate nonunion with Casey's help,
Casey went to the strikers headquar-
tiers and. asked to be reinstated, max
ing all kinds Of excuses and promises.
This was done, out of the mildness Of
the hearts of the strikers, and now at
the trial Casey testified that his only
object in getting off the unfair list
was to get some money that was due
him and which he did not wish to go
after as long as he was considered
unfair.
1t was the opinion on all sides that
the Trust made a ridiculous showing.

Thug Guards
Over ride Law
West Virginia Towns in, Complete
Control of Coal Company
Guards.


Reports in the daily press indicate
that the guard system of West Vir-
ginia has reached its climax. Nobody
cared as long as the. brutality of the
coal company guards was used only
against the coal miners and other I'M
ion men of the state, but now they
are taking charge Of the affairs of
courts. Albert c. Felts is accused of
robbing a paymaster near Thurmond
some years ago, and was captured
only recently, one of his partners CIV
ing him away. The trial has been in
progress at Fayetteville, and wit
nesses have been threatened and
armed guards simply control the
town, censoring the news, and even
preventing the prosecuting attorney
from using his telephone. The situa-
ton is serious enough to justify the
interference of state troops but it
is not likely that the governor will
call them out, as the armed guards
are coal company employees, friends
of Felts, who was one of the chiefs of
the Baldwin detectives.

Carpenters Combat Open Shop Conditions
Refuse To Work With
/. Non-Unionists
Here.
DEMAND UNIFORM RATE
THROUGHOUT DISTRICT

Monday morning the union carpen-
tiers of Wheeling left every job
where there was a non-union man
employed. This followed action by
the Ohio Valley District Council and
the affiliated locals of Wheeling and
vicinity, the decision being to en-
force the trade rules, and one Of the
trade rules is that the union men
shall not work with non-union men.
Not many union men are out, how
FEVER, as most Of the contractors have
dispensed with the services of nom
union men, or the mon-unionists have
joined the union. The few recall
citrant members of the Builders
League are expected to look on the
matter in better lightsshortly, and
it is not believed that the partial
strike will last long.
az Fault of Employers.
The present situation is. entirely
the fault of the employers who are
antagonistic to organized labor. Since
the last strike Of the carpenters,
three years ago, when open shop
conditions were established by the
employers, through trickery,the union
has endeavored BY moral suasion
alone to carry on the work of organi-
cation. Met at every turn, however,
by every obstacle that could be
thrown in their way, the union meml
bers have been forced to more drastic
action.
And the union has taken every step
with care and deliberation. The en-
ployers Claimed III bygone years that
the union did not give them sufi-
cient notice; this year the union sent
out the notices January 10. Their re-
quest for a conference was refused
and they then sent out notices of
their new trade rules, which called
for 40 cents per hour. The Wheel
ing bosses had claimed before that it
was unjust to them that the wage
scale should be higher in Wheeling
than in, surrounding towns; this gear
the scale was made the same for all
the surrounding towns and Wheel
ing. Outside of Wheeling the scale
had been $500 per day, and in
Wheeling the scale was 1910, but
the uniform scale of 40 cents an hour
or 1920 per day was asked.
And this is not really an advance
for many of the Wheeling contrac-
tors, for the old scale provided that
employers should pay carfare while
the new scale provides that the men
shall pay their own. This was to an
swer the complaint of contractors
that they could not compete with
other bidders outside of town, for the
out-of-town man would have the ad-
vantage of not having to pay carfare.
Now they are all on an equal basis,
no matter. where they are located.
The carpenters are enthusiastic,
are firm in their conviction that they
are making only just demands, and
confident of victory.
Their most bitter opponent Is Lee
Woods, who is notorious for his an
tagonism toward organized labor, and
has publicly stated that hets a "labor
hatef."
