What Labor Wants

---e-kt-S
Last Sunday the Belmont Trades
and Labor Assembly instructed its
Legislative committee, composed of
L. e. Feldman, Andrew Crunelle and
Thomas Hughes, to visit James 3.
Tallman, constitutional convention
delegate from Belmont county, and
inform him OF Labor's position upon
the Initiative, Referendum and Re-
call measure and other measures
that are now before the convention
meeting In Columbus. This action
followed the reading Of communica-
tion from Secretary 81. D. Thomas of
the Ohio Federation of Labor, who
is the only Socialist member Of the
constitutional conventionl and who
urged that laor organizations every
where take up these important mat
tiers with their local representatives
in order to prevent the big business
interests from killing all progressive
legislation.
A communication was received rela-
alive to the Textile Workers strike
but 1t was tabled. as word had al
ready been received that the strike
was settled.
The Columbiana County Progress

ton of that district had made himself.
so obnoxious to honest people by his
actions in the senate that a deter
mined effort must be made to keep
him from being again named for that
office. The League suggested that
Percy fellow, the coal miner. would
make good senator. Thomas
Hughes explained that Pnrinton was
the man who betrayed his 1900 coal
miner constituents by voting against
the bill which would have given the
miners pay for what they do. The
bill was known as the Screen Bill"
and was introduced by Senatog
Green. IA present the miners of
Ohio are paid only for the coal that
does not fall through an inch-and-
a-Quarter screen. All that falls
goes free of charge to the
Senator Purinton's one
vote would have changed this, but
he was somehow induced to vote in
the interests of the employers. The
subject matter of the letter was re-
ferred back to the locals.
L. D. Redding, representing the Re-
tail Clerks, was the Assembly
and made a brief but interesting
talk on behalf of his organization and
Labor in general.
H. J. Ninness and James D. Har
vie were before the Assembly rep
resenting the Union Label League of
the Ohio. Valley Trades and Labor
and made talks in which
the plan to boost the sale Of union
labeled products was brought out in
detail. AS a result a large number
OF pledges were taken for circulation
by the delegates.
