Expect to Add Another 5000 and
Begin on Erection of

Now for the last lap in the raising
of the fund to erect monument to the
memory of the late Augustus Pollack.
The project has lain dormant for
some little time now, owing to the
pressure of other matters, but from to.
day the plan will be prosecuted with
all possible energy. Headquarters will
be opened in the Trades Assembly
building, and Secretary Treasurer
Harry p Corcoran of the committee,
will devote his whole time to the work
of raising the funds. Letters will. be
written to every local union in the
United States asking them to pur-
chase a certificate in the Pollack
Memorial Fund at 81 each. 1t is con-
sidered much more desirable to raise
the money this way than by having
large sums from few donors. No or
ganization will be asked to contribute
more than one dollar For this pur-
pose beautifully engraved certificates,
bearing portrait of the late Augustus
Pollack will be issued, and booklet
giving short sketch of his life.
Persent Status.
The present status Of the fund is as
follows: Donations, $4.S75.S6, interest

ments Duly Signed and

Next week, probably on Wednesday,
a confidence will open in Wheeling,
which will decide whether seven
thousand mine workers are to go on
strike to support the claims of two
thousand now striking. The confer
ence has been called by President T.
L. Lewis at the request of the opera
tors. ,5
The trouble began with the failure
of some operators in Eastern Ohio
violating their contracts. They made
scale with the workers and then
failed to live up to. them. Strikes
naturally followed. Repeated efforts
on the part Of officials to effect a set
Element have been unavailing, and it
is now proposed to call out every
miner employed in any mine anywhere
is owned by the above operators.
Until now the strike has been confin-
ed only to the mines directly affected.
Thomas Garnes, A. R. Watkins and
n. i. Lewis were appointed special
committee By the last convention t.

the decision to call the general strike
is the result of their deliberatton.

Nonpartisan Judic larry Bill Only

Workers Everywhere in State Urged

Byrum, at Columbus:
Columbus, O., Feb. 10, 1911.

Editor Majority,
Wheeling, w. Va.
l beg leave to submit the following,
which l hope may prove Of interest
to your readers. It being short sum-
mary of the work along lines of in
terest to the workers of our State.
The non partisan, Judiciary Bill,
which was introduced by Mr.. Rey-
nolds, in the Senate, January 9th, and
by Mr.. Evans of Cuyahoga, in the
House on January 10th, and which
provides for ' the election of the
Judiciary on separate, on non-partisan
ballots, passed both houses and only
lacks the Governors signature to be-
come law.
The bill introduced in the Senate
by Mr.. Green, and in the House by Mr..
Evans of Cuyahoga, providing for an
eight hour work day for women, is
still in committee. 1t is meeting with
the usual opposition by the manufac.
turing interests, who place their own
selfish interests, reckoned in dollars
and cents, above the well being OF
society in general and the workers in
particular.
/, therefore, urge upon you, fellow
trade unionists, the necessity of writ
ing your representatives and ugils
them, in no uncertain terms. the adj
visibility of supporting this and all
other measures in the interest of la
Dor. They are hearing from the op-
position daily, so it is up to you to
be equally active in your interests.
Monthly Pay Bill for railroad men, by
Mr.. Calvey of Cuyahoga, which is on
today's calender. The Railway Clear
ance Bill, by Mr.. Bell of Stark. The
Bill providing that miners shall be
paid for all coal mined before it passes
over the screens, by Senator Green.
The Dean Bill by the Senator of the
same name. And the Bill providing
for a Constitutional Convention, dele
gates to be elected on a non-partisan
basis at the coming fall election.
There are many others, but time
and space will not permit mentioning
them all. / will endeavor to keep you
informed each week on the progress
made.
1 want to repeat that it is very
necessary that you should acquaint
your representatives with the fact
that you are insisting that they re-
deem their campaign pledges by sup
porting the bills named and all others
of like character, if they wish to have
the support of labor in the future.
Fraternally yours,
