WHATOTHERS THINK
(Max Hayes in cleveland citizen9

The Wheeling Majority, the popular
labor paper published down on the
river, is going to be turned into a
daily. Last week the Stogie Makers
Union, the strongest organization in
the Ohio Valley, voted almost unani-
mously to purchase $4,000 worth of
stock, and other trades on both sides
of the river are arranging to back the
project in substantial m amer. The
Majority is conducted along similar
lines as the Citizen, gives conserva-
tive and radical elements in the labor
movement square deal, and is al
ways aggressive, industrialiy and poll
ticaily, where the interests Of the
working class are concerned. The
time is rapidly approaching when
American labor will need daily news
papers. Just as it now has hundreds
OF weekly and monthly publications,
to present its side Of all questions to
the reading public. We congratulate
the wheeling Majority and the vide
awake workers Of the Ohio Valley in
being in the vanguard to establish a
chain Of daily labor papers IN this
country.

Metal Trades Win
/. Los Angeles Strike

Los Angeles. March q (spl) =
Once again the labor unions Of Los
Angeles have proved that they are
fit to survive.
The metal-trades strike in progress
since June /, 1910, has been settled
satisfactory to the men and with
honor to the cause OF Unlonism.
The 1860 trade unionists who have
SO long been upon the firing-line re-
turn to the. shops and the feundries
AS UNION MEN, with no discrimina-
tion against them, and sfth a De
CREASE IN THE LENGTH OF
THEIR WORKDAY.
This, in a nutshell, ID the meaning
of the victory-and it means much.
1t means that the Foundry Employ
ers' Association has forever cast into
the furnace the sign. mo Union Man
Employed and hat never again will
these employers eonssh to the
waste basket any communication en-
anating from the Metal Trades Coun-
Gil
The employers had all the backing
that money could give: Every corpora
tion and every business Al Ia in South
ern California stood olgaly behind
them. Yet without men to do the
work they were hopelessly beaten.
and at last were forced tos capitulate.
/ For twentycps long nd weary
months the molders, the machinists,
the blacksmiths and the patternmak-
ers were out, and they STAYED OUT.
Meantime, Los Angeles went
through both an industrial and a poll
tical revolution.
The Carpenters won q substantial
increase in wages : the Brewery Work
ers were entirely successful in hard
fought contest with their employers;
more than 10000 new members were
initiated into the various unions; the
infamous anti-picketing ordinance was
enacted, and countless union men
were jailed.
Other incidents followed, The details
of which are known throughout the
world. e
Then, for weeks, from every kept
newspaper and from every vicious
tongue came the hopedsfor prediction
that in Los Angeles at least Unionism
had passed on.
Then came the city election, the re-
suit of which staggered the enemies
Of Labor everywhere. 1t was realized
that at last, the workers are awaken
ing politically; that they are standing
together, and are depending only up
on themselves.
Now comes victory to the workers
of the Southland after their long
fight. We say victory because, under
present conditions, ANY advance
made by the workers is a victory.

Now then, when the Cost Of living is
increasing, the mill owners without
notice DECREASE our wages, do you
blame us for striking?'
ScaIped a Girl.
The spectators were taken by sur
prise when Lipson asked a little girl
one of the strikers-to stand up.
.sTwo years ago." said Lipson. "this
girl went to work in the mills. She
had beautiful head of hair, but
three weeks after she went to the
mills the machines were speeded up
so last that her hair was caught and
her scalp torn off, She has been IN
der the doctors care ever since. But
she has been working in the mills,
too. because her father is poor. and
there are seven in the family"
Going into the details of the call
ing of the strike, the arriving OF the
militia, Lipson declared that no trou-
BILE occurred till the soldiery began
their intimidation and oppression.
Lipson then came to the station

ents had field out Identification
blanks for their children giving them
nermission to go to Philadelphia. He
testified that after about 200 children
had gone. policemen went about ask
ing the strikers to recall them. rs

Iipson then told how he, together

Help
Lawrence Strikers

Garfield Locaol No. 1, National
Stogie Makers League, with charac-
teristic intensity of feeling for their
fellow working people, at their last
meeting donated $4,000 to assist the
strikers in the wooden mills of Law
renee, Mass, and passed the following
resolutions, the action being unanim-
GUS:
Whereas, There is at present exist
ing in the City of Lawrence, State of
Massachusetts, a strike inaugurated
by the Textile Workers of that com
munity, brought about for the purpose
of lettering their condition, and re-
ceiving a more equitable and proper
tionate share of the income from
their labor than they have been re-
ceiving in the past, and
Whereas Il has been shown that
the conditions existing in the homes
of these strikers and workers are such
as to bring the blush Of shame to
every American who believes in fair
play and square deal, and
Whereas, during the tendency Of
said strike the State Militia, State Off
GERS and the town police have gone
far beyond their legal right and the
bounds of decency and propriety, and
have inflicted unnecessary and brutal
punishment not only upon the said
Textile Workers and their wives, but
upon their starving children as we'll,
and
Whereas, From every reliable
source of information, it seem that
the demands of these workers are but
right and just, and
WR4eas, It is the sense Of Garfield
Local No. 1 of the stogie Makers I'm
ion of Wheeling, West Virginia, that
some aid and assistance of material
kind should be given and extended to
the said Textile Workers at Lawrence.
Therefore, Be it resolved, Garfield
Local No. 1, National Stogie Makers
League contribute the sum Of two
hundred dollars to the proper officers
or representative of the Textile Work
ers to be used by them in ameliora-
ton of the condition that at present
exist. e.
Be it further resolved, That we most
vehemently denounce and condemn
the actions of the State Militia, State
officers and police at Lawrence as be-
ing un7American, brutal, unconst1tu-
tional and without any color what
ever of right and justice.
Be it further resolved, That a copy
of these resolutions be sent to the
said Textile Workers, and a copy Of
the same published in the Wheeling
Majority, and a further copy of same
spread on the minutes of said Garfield
Local No. 1.

MARKETING A LOST ART.

Years ago. before the day Of the
telephone and the auto-delivery
wagon. the housewife slipped her
market basket over her arm and went
to the town market where she pur-
chased the provisions for the day
If she was woman of high degree
she may have driven to the market
in carriage but the housewife, her
self made the purchases in nine
cases out of ten. This important
matter was not left to the servants
The suit was that she made a per-
sonal selection of the things she
bought. She provided variety for
the reason that she was able to chose
from the merchants entire stock She
selected only the choicest Of the pro-
duce displayed
Today the housewife goes to the
telephone. the grocer or produce mer-
chant names over the fruit and

The woman who orders over the

Now what is the result. The
housewife wastes enough money in
the improvident way she buys to re-
duce the cost Of living 20 per cent

Besides the exercise Of trip to
the market every morning or every
other morning is lost Nowadays a
woman spends too much of her TINE
in the house. This is especially true
IN the cities.
When Hammond's city market is
