Hear Labor
(Ry l. J. LaFIam.).

Charleston, w. Va.,-(SpeciaD =
The Wheeling Workmen's Compensa-
ton bill has been before three meet
ings of the committees of both hous-
es and final action was promised for
Wednesday afternoon, when, on re-
quest of the coal operators, the advo-
Gates of the several bills were in
structed to get together and see if
they could agree upon one. The con-
tention of the operators is that they
want time to prepare estimates, and
they desire bill by which the en-
ploye' will be compelled to- pay part.
A large crowd of corporation lawyers
has been present at every session of
the committees. The Wheeling bill
has been defended by the Labor rep
resentatives, Mr.. A. w. PAUL., Mr.
Nelson Hubbard and Mr. Brady. Mr..
Bloch. who introduced it, has been
present in it's behalf at every session.
= Other Labor Measures.
The Labor representatives have
been before the different committees
on a number of measures, both for
and against Labor, SO they have had
to fight on both the aggressive and
defensive.
We got the bill providing for a two
weeks pay reported out favorably. We
are opposing bill fathered by c.. F.
Jolliffe, captin in the militia, hich
would practically prevent the people
from keeping and bearing arms, as
is now guaranteed by the federal con-
stitution. We are opposing the state
police bill, WHICH will simply establish
a state constabulary and means that
the present mine guards will hereaf-
ter be paid by the state instead of
the coal companies, and that all the
iniquities will reamin.
Citizens Committee Endorses.
On last Saturday afternoon the Cit
liens Committee held a meeting at
headquarters and endorsed
the Workmen's Compensation bill
drawn in Wheeling. Several other la
Dor measures were endorsed, includ-
ing one penalizing the importing of
workmen into the state under false
pretenses.
All the bills we favor and oppose
are to be, printed and sent by the Cit
liens committee to all legislators,
stating our position.

State Federation
Convention Opens

| Monday morning at Charleston the
annual convention of the West Virgin
ia Federation of Labor will open. be-
ing called to order by President Will
/ liam F. WEIGH 1t will be a most I'M
portant meeting in the history of the
organization, for upon its action will
undoubtedly rest the success or fail,
ure of the body. w..
The West Virginia Federation, has
been unfortunate and has made little
Roadway. 1t was unfortunate in the
early years, abecause John Nugent
was president and his actions justi-
lied the belief that he was not acting
in the interests of Labor. This senti.
ment grew until he was eventually
ousted and the body reorganized,
when the suspicious were verified by
h1s accepting a job from the. mine
owners OF the state to furnish them
with unorganized foreign labor.
In recent years the organization has
been held back by having secretary
who gave practically no ottention to
the work, though on a salary. This
has become so fragrant that many Or
CARNATIONS have dropped their affili-
alton with the state body, and the
bulk of the delegates sent to the pres
ent convention were sent only in the
hope that conditions could be chang
ed. If this change is not effected it
seems certain that the State Fedora
ton will be allowed to die.
The attendance, for these reasons,
is not expected to be as large as for
merly, but if live secretary is elect
ed, preferably Wheeling man, who
could be helped lin his work by the
well organized local movement, it is
unquestioned, that the next year will
be the greatest in the history ST the
organization and that the body will
become powerful factor in the up
lift of the workers of West Virginia.

Insurance Men Oppose
Workmen' $ Compensation

A few manufacturers, or more prop.
erly speakingy the hired managers OF
the local plants of few giant corpo,
rations, met here Wednesday morning
and decided that they did not want
the Workmen's Compensation bill in
troduced by Jesse Bloch and drafted
In Wheeling. They passed a resolu-
ton in favor of an optional clause,
which means that the employer could
take out his insurance in old private
company instead Of being insured in
the state.
The promoters of the meeting evil
IDENTIFY thought they put one over on
the advocates of the Wheeling bill. Al
meeting was held Monday afternoon,
public in its nature, called on the in
stance of the insurance companies,
and at this meeting no definite action
was takeff. Labor representatives
were present, H. B. Vessel, e. J..
Weekly, Vincent Havlik and Walter
sB. Hilton representing the Ohio Val
ley Assembly, and they defended the
Bloch bill and urged that a change
be made.
At the conclusion of the meeting,
instead of endorsing the bill present
ed to the meeting by the insurance
people, instead a committee was ap-
pointed to interview the sentiment, of
the manufacturers and report back
to another public meeting to be held
Wednesday afternoon.
Advocates of the Bloch bill prepar-
ed to go to the Wednesday afternoon
meeting and were surprised to learn
then that the meeting had been held
p the morning instead, and the res
olutions railroaded through. A Com.
mittee was appointed to draw up an
amendment to the Wheeling bill or
form a new one including the option
al feature.
The people can hardly be fooled by
this trick, and will surely not be-
lieve the voice of these few. as the
voice Of the people of this district,
since the Bloch bill has been endors-
ed by the Assembly, the Business
Mems Association and the Board of
Trade. ~

A STUBBORN MANAGER

New York, Feb. 6.-An increase of
half cent an hour to motofmen and
conductors in Manhattan, and one cent
an hour to the motormen- in the
Bronx and West Chester, was an
nounced recently. The same company
that gives this advance is in control
of the Yonkers Street Railway lines,
on which a strike recently occurred,
because the management refused. to
live up to it's agreement. However, a
settlement was finally reached by the
company reinstating the men who
were discharged and agreeing to full
fill the provisions of the agreement.
AS disciplinary measure the increases
in wages on all the dimes operated by
the company go into effect immediate
ly, except on the Yonkers line, where
the strike occurred, the advance not
being effective until June l. This
may be balm to the conscience of the
management for having been brought
to book for not having lived up to its
agreement with the men. but is a
mighty poor business policy. -
