Monday the employees of the Enter

number of pieces at one time, and ther
reduced the compensation to the ole
figure of 10 IL cents. Shortly after
ward another furnace fell in, and the
same procedure was followed. The
men, though handling greater mum
Der of pieces than before, were unable
to make as good wages, and being
unable to induce the company to re
tain the Is cent rate, went ON strike
The men who were still working on
the old furnace and getting the Is
cent rate, came out with them for they
realize that since six months is the
average life of furnace, they are all
doomed to the reduced ratew thin thai
period.
False reports have been industrious
ly circulated by the daily press to the
effect that the .'union men" in the
plant. are still working and that only
the unorganized men have struck. The
plant is entirely unorganized.

Elm Grove Miners Strike
Against Extortion

The miners employed at the Elm
Grove Coal Company at Elm Grove,
are out on strike at the present time,
due to the fact that they were asked
to join and contribute part of their
paltry wages to a flimsy accident in
surance company, and because the
company refused to allow them to
work unless they contributed, and as
result they are all out on strike. The
mine, which is one of the worst in the
country for killing miners, on account
of the way that it is allowed to oper-
ate, is controlled by the Chambers in
.terests in Ohio county and West Alex
ander
There is a company store to pluck
the miners, company houses to pluck
the miners and because the company
did not get back all of the mite that
they dished out in wages, they have
instituted another scheme to pick the
miners pockets of the balance. This
is their new pocket picking device
The miners are to pay into the acci
dent insurance company the sum Of
one dollar a month, and in return II
they have both legs cut off above the
ankle, they will receive 500, the same
amount if they have both arms cut of
above the elbow, and the same amount
for both eyes. CAS- rule in the min
ing business. one has a hand cut off
a foot mashed, or is killed. so one may
see how the scheme will work. AnG
they are not to get even this meagrt
help if the accident occurs within 81
days of taking employemnt.
The miners refuse to comply witt
the wish of the company and hence thu
strike. They will fight it to finisl
and the labor leaders of this section
with the aid of all union men, will hell
them. They are also plucked Of docto
] fees atmany of the mines.

Assembly Will Discuss I
. Ways And Means For
Organizing Unorganized

Sunday, April 81. the Ohio Valley
Trades and Labor Assembly will de-
vote practically the whole of the after
non to, discussing ways and means for
organizing the unorganized workers u
the Wheeling district.
This subject has been discussed for
some time, fitfully but the body has
never gone into it with the thorough
ness that it needs. A special meeting
was called for some weeks ago, but
was peessarily called OF on account
Of the food
By a motion that prevailed Sunday
unanimously, this discussion will be
made a special order for O'Clock on
the next regular meeting day. Il was
deemed better to take it up at q reg
ular meeting in order to better assure
q! full attendance Of the delegates, who
naturally do not relish the idea of
giving all Of their Sundays up.
The secretary was instructed to get
out letters to all affiliated locals, urg-
ing them to have a full attendance of
their delegates on this occasion, and
also inviting all members of the
various locals who are interested in
the work to be present
At this meeting the district organ
izer, Joseph A. Armstrong. will report
all information that he Will have re-
ceiyed from the headquarters of the
various organizations, and it is certain
that campaign will be mapped out
that will result in bringing into the
protective fold of unionism thousands
IT workers in the Wheeling district,
particular women, who are now
without any protection whatever and
are helpless victims Of their employ

It seems that Officer Johnson called
