LAUNDRY PROPR|ETORS
GET TO BAT FIRST

The Laundry proprietors of Wheel
ing have got to bat first. They have
increased the price of laundering. A
boost of 212 cents has been stuck to
the ten cent price of billing shirt,
or 20 per cent increase
Whether this is in anticipation OF
an Increased wage rate that will be
necessary to pay the workers in the
Wheeling laundries since they have
formed q union, must be left to con.
lecture. 1t is certain that the workers
themselves will welcome this increase
and no patron of the laundiies will
kick very streneusly If that will be the
result.
But, in way, the proprietors are
only getting back what they lost. For
in the old days everybody wore stir
bosomed shirt who had progressed be-
yond the "dickey" stages, whereas they
now wear soft shirts whose only stiff
ness is in the attached cuffs and un-
attached collar. The old shift laund-
cried for 1914 cents, and cuffs were 5
cents a pair, but the later ''negligee"
cut out the stiff front and run in the
attached cuffs. =
But we all hope that the new ad-
justment will bring with it more wages
for the laundry workers.

Edwin w. Hilton observed his 18th
birthday quietly at the home of his
son in Bowman's Addtctation last
week. Mr.. Hilton is probably the
oldest union member in the Wheeling
district. having been member of the
International Association of Machin-
lists since it's organization and previous
to that having been a member of the
Machinists and Blacksmiths and the
old Knights of Labor. He was most
active in the local Assembly quarter
of century ago, having served in
every chair in old Prosperity Assem-
bly,. For more than fifty years he
worked for the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. most of the time in the shops
which formerly were in Wheeling but
later removed to Benwood Junction.
He has been retired from active
work for several years now, and for
two years has been confined to the
house, with an ailment that effects
his left leg and arm, but he still takes
a keen interest in all that unionism
implies.
