Nail Feeders
At LaBeIIe Strike

The nail feeders at the La Belle
nail factoAy are out on strike. About
20 men quit work last week when re-
fused their demand for an increase of
one cent per key for feeding. The,
men average less than So per day, and
the increased cost of living has brough
about a practical reduction in their
wages.
The management refused to grant
the small increase, declaring that the
plant would be shut down rather than
that the men should be increased 1t
seems. that the management vans the
work done for nothing, as they get the
steel. The steel from which the nails
are made at the La Belle is delivered
to them free of cost by the workers.
in the plate mill / Whenever a sheet
fails to roll out to ordered size, the
men are not paid for their work, but
the sheet is sent to the nail factory,
where it is cut up into nails. Now if
they can only get the cutting done for
nothing, the selling price will not be
merely mostly profit, but all profit.

TRAMWAYMEN STRIKE

London, May 22-Having certain
grievances, relating to payment for
holiday time and to working short
time during the miners strike, the
tramwaymen employed by the Cardiff
Corporation are out on strike and the
Municipal tramway service is at a
.standstill. The men had asked for an
interview with the Tramways COM
mittee, but held a midnight meeting,
and ninety-nine per cent voted in
favor of stopping work at once. The
men are of opinion that no question
of breach Of agreement is involved In
a sudden strike, as they are by the
terms of their employment liable to
instant dismissal. They complain that
at Easter they were stopped the usual
allowance of full days pay addition
al to the usual rates for actual hours
works on the two holidays, and were
paid only the double time, which was
on the short time basis of the coal
strike.

Socialists Join IN
Auditorium Battle

The following resolutions were
unanimously passed. by the Wheeling
Socialist Party at the regular meet
ing Monday night.
Whereas. Certain business inter
ests secured from the council of the
city of Wheeling 4 franchise which
gave them the right to build upon
public ground an auditorium, and
Whereas, The right was given upon
certain specified conditions, one of
which is the employment of union
labor; and
Whereas, These business interests
ire now plainly engaged in a deliber-
tie attempt to violate this clause,
md to ignore the legal provisions
md their moral obligations there
fore be it
Resolved, That we see in this move
nent only another and more daring
attempt to crush the organizations
II Labor in theclty, with the purpose
Of extending exploitation of the work
ers and the betrayal Of the common
people of this city, and be it further
Resolved, That we, the Socialist
Party fthe city of Wheeling, in reg
ular meeting, do hereby declare that
our heartfelt sympathy goes out in
this matter to the members of the
Labor unions, which, as Karl Marx
said: "Are centers of resistance to
the exploitation of the workers." and
we pledge the workers oru moral
support in all their actions in this
matter, and urge them to stand firm,
secure in the fact that victory in all
these battles must ultimately rest
with the working class.

financial welfare Of themselves and
their associates.
Labor is content that this much
has been brought about. Thew ay is
now cleared of all misunderstanding.
They know who are fighting them
and what their intentions are. They
know, too, that their only salvation,
as workers lies in their solidarity,
and they are content that if this
struggle is forced upon them by the
combined capitalist interests of the
city, that it might as well come now
as later, and that it will be better
to find them together instead of sep
arated.
And the spirit of solidarity that
the workers are presenting is inspir-
ing 1t makes certain their ultimate
victory, though it may mean gen

mean that if the Open Shoppers 60

!. No Meeting Of
Belmont Assembly

Thee was no meeting of the Bel
mont Trades Assembly Sunday. There
was much doingi n the fraternal
world of Bridgeport and Bellaire
Sunday, which drained the Assembly
of some of it's officers, with the re-
suit that there was no quorum pres
ent when the time of calling to order
arrived.

the early birds had left. This ought

Arc Joined By Union
Men Of All Crafts

Wednesday afternoon at 4 O'Clock the
union Bricklayers left the Market Aud
itorium Job, and all jobs where non
union men are employed. More than
sixty men are affected and jobs are tied
up all over the Wheeling district.
The Wheeling Building Trades Council
instructed all affiliated unions to take
similar action.
Observation-Disclosures No. 141, decided
at it's meeting Thursday night to call
all men off nonunion jobs.
Sheet Metal Workers No. 131 have
taken similar action.
Painters No. 81 have signifedN their
intention of joining with others.
Plasterers Nc. 80 will hold a special
meeting Friday night to action.
Wheeling openshoppers were given
an unexpected blow Wednesday after
noon wnen union Drlcklayers quit
work on the Market Auditorium. The
Openshoppers had figured their sue
cess in keeping Labor divided and
this evidence of solidarity was as I'M
expected to them as it was sudden.
Their scheme was to destroy one I'M
ion at a time, saving the Bricklay-
ers, perhaps, until the last choice
morsel.
AS a result work on the Auditori-
um has ceased entirely, and the lead
ers of Big Business in Wheeling are
left with the reflection that all their
money, and all their stocks and bonds
and bribed newspapers, cannot lay
brick or drive nail or head rivet.
There is a scene of dreary desolation
about the Auditorium, with its con
spicuous signs: Union Carpenters
Wanted"-a sign which does not tell
that union carpenters are wanted
only upon the terms of the non-unioA
exploiters. z
Action Unanimous.
The action of the Bricklayers was
unanimous. It was taken at theiI
meeting Monday night After the
question had been fully discussed by
President LaF1am of the Trades As
Isembly and Fl. P. Corcoran, the mem,
bers took a vote upon the PROPOSE
ton to quit work on all jobs where
lnonunion men were employed, and
lin a secret ballot, the proposition
carried unanimously.
It was dumbfounding to the enc
mics of labor. Even had they seer
faint chance of the Bricklayers
standing with the other unionists OF
the Auditorium, they had no ides
THAT by any possible chance they
would go so far as to include every
other job in the city.
Yet that was exactly what was

Ion Released.
Submitting quietly, Hilton was Ia
ken across the street where the mayor
held court on the sidewalk. The dis
approval of the crowd was SO thor
oughly in evidence by this time that
the mayor turned to the police and
said: "Let him CO." The arrest and
the release occupied about two min
utes. AS Hilton had protested against
the arrest in the first place he now
protested against the, release, insist
ing that if he had done anything to
be arrested for he should be given, a
trial, but the mayor retired to his
castle and the minions of the law
faded away.
The Hall Meeting.
"All over to the K. of P. half" This
cry from a dozen threats then moved
the crowd from the street to the hall.
Those in charge Of the meeting took
Hilton by the arms as che police re-
leased him, and, followed by the spec
tators, started toward Charles street.
The hall rapidly filled and the net
result of Caldwell's bu11ish tactics
was an audience perhaps twice as
large as it would otherwise haye
been.
Arrange Another Meeting.
Another meeting is to be arranged
for in the near future on the same
corner, and the labor element will
be prepared to take all necessary le-
gal steps to protect their right of
free speech.

Br icklayers Lead General Strike On
Auditorium and All Non-Union Jobs
Nearing HE End.

The Market Auditorium scheme is
now plainly nearing the end The
Open shoppefs<h about reached
sheir last card There is but one
thing left to them now, an appeal to
the courts. That is what they have
hoped for, for they seem to realize
that their only chance lies in a
court decision. They would not dare
to trust themselves to vote of the
citizens, no more than they would
have dared to trust their original
proposition to vote of the citizens.
They had planned to get Labor on
the wrong side Of legal technically
and then squeeze the workers by a
decision conveniently secured from
an agreeable judge. That was why
they paid no attention to the protests
that have been filed by the authori-
ties.
Liars.
The%Open Shoppers have shown
great ability in lying. They have
lied to the city council, to the Labor
organizations, to the public in the
daily press, and to the officials of
the city government. They have
promised time and again to do things
which they never even attempted to
do. Finally, when forbearance ceas-
ed to be virtue, the notice to cease
work was served upon them.
Disregard the Law.
This notice was served upon Roy
B. Naylor, secretary of the Board Of
Trade, and George W. Lutz, presi-
dent o fthe Market Auditorium Co.,
at 1880 p. M, Thursday. It was
served by License Officer Arthur
Ingram, and bore the signature of
Mayor G. C. Schmidt and the seal of
the City of Wheeling. 1t recited the
fact that the company had failed to
comply with the ordinance and was
therefore in violation of it, and called
upon the Company and the Board of
Trade to have work on the building
cease, pending an appeal to council,
which would be made within thirty
days.
But the promoters, who are always
crying about the awfulness of ''dis-
regard for the law" upon the part
of the working people, Immediately
and calmly proceeded to violate the
law of the city-and continued the
work. They completely ignored the
mayor and the citizens of Wheeling.
Then H. G. Ogden, in his subsi-
died sheets, called Mayor Schmidt
'.peanut politician" and made it
very clear that Big Business recog-
nized no right of God or man to
stand between the rich men Of Wheel
J ing and their greedy grasp for more
riches. He said that the question
would be settled in the courts, that
themen who had put 100000 into
the proposition intended to get their
moneys worth, or words to that eff
feet.
Thus the matter rests The veil of
