tons of personal privilege and empha-
tically denying that they had permit
ted any one to talk about any Of
the impeachment matters since the
proceedings were instituted.
But the majority OF the senators
were using their influence to calm
their more bellieerent brethren. II
was pointed out that inasmuch as
names had not been generally men
toned. action IN an effort TO prevent a
scandal might actually precipitate
one.
The origin of the story was a con-
versation between a former congress
man, his friends a former official ol
the Democratic state committee. and
a Republican senator, representing q
Western New York. county. The sen
ator in question said that the talk had
no bearing on the Sulzer case.
But the talk helped out a duh morn

Il is known that the governor coun

testify But he has been 50 insisteni
that they have finally consented. Th'
( big reason Sul1er assigned for insisting
on taking the stand was that he did mo-

Girls who less than enough 70 live upon are driven

Now we have much preaching and moralizng about

hours improving the conditions and increasing the Wages
OF retail clerks In just the that they succeed are
these conditions affected for the better.
IN their battle for little they opposed by the
greedlest OF merchants Who fancyng that clerks union

hlblting joint ownership Of common carriers.

1t never TO them that the machine is perfect it
would work perfectly if the right people owned it. Which,
OF course means all the people.

complicated in their ownership that the old pig-inthe-

All efforts heretofore made to or
ganize the engineers lss ikenen at
the Wheeling Fraction plant have
proved unavailing. Stationary Engi-
neers No. 131 have spent hundreds of
dollars in the attempt to organize the
men in the engine room, but without
result. Now Firemen No. q are max
ing the attempt. A clause was sought
to be inserted in the last franchise
by the Trades Assembly at the in
stance of the Engineers and Firemen,
but the company's influence over
their own representatives in council
was sufficient to have the clause
struck out.
The plant continues to be nonunion
and the peculiar spectacle is present

hauling cars that are propelled by
nonunion power and even repaired

tagonistic policy toward organized
Labor.
This conclusion was reached at the
convention of the state body at
Charlton and arrangements have been
completed by correspondence with
these secretaries and the various dis
trfct vice presidents Of the state body.
1t is the intention to bring the mat
ter before the Labor organizations in
those cities where the Locke com
pany, through it's Wholesale depart
.ment, sells goods to local stores. The
Labor unionists realize fully the i'm
portance of this contest, as it is a
test of the strength of Labor organi-
cations in Wheeling, and if they are
defeated in Wheeling it will have a
disastrous effect throughout the ell

organized center.
Not Consistent.
The local Locke management has
been boasting that more business is
Nbeing done than ever before, but is
Inconsistent enough to frantically bid
for trade with glazing advertisements
offering ordinarily high priced shoes
at, exceptionally low prices. Which is
decidedly inconsistent and would
seem to indicate that unionists and
their friends have accepted the atti
tude of the Locke concern as an an
nouncement that it does not care fol
the patronage of working people.
