Assembly Gets Refund
In Telephone Case


The Ohio Valley Assembly Sunday

fund or the money expended nv fhe
Assembly in defending the innlnction
suit brought against Fl. p. Corcoran
n. b. Vessel, j. T. Heeker and Walter
=. Hilton IN connection with the Line,
mems strike six years ago. Judge
Dayton granted the injunction against
the officers of the Assembly and the
editor of the Majority, Aut the case
was carried to the United States Dis
trlct Court Il Appeals, and there Judge
Dayton was overruled.
This carried with it a refund of the
costs to which the Assembly had been
put, but inasmuch as the bond de-
manded By Judge Dayton was not
large enough to cover the entire costs.
the Assembly could recover but the
face, value, $4,000, which, with inter
est, amounted to $2,769.65. From this
the fee of the attorney, Nelson Hub
bard, amounting to $684.4l, was de-
Quoted ana the court costs amounting,
to 1860. Mr. Hubbard returned his
retainer fee of. $50, in addition, MAX
ing the total payment to the Assembly
$2,10324 -,.e-.
This leaves the Assembly about 5000
to the bad through the transaction.
The law specifies that the defendant
in an injunction suit must be saved
against cost by a bond exacted from
the complainant. But the Assembly.
though winning the case, had to emf
ploy another attorney to sue for what
the law said was tie Assemblys due,
and then found that the total that
could be secured was about 5000 less
than the actual cost to which it had
been put in defending against a suit
which the higher court held was un--
just. (
Thank Hubbard.
By motion, the secretary was in
structed to give the thanks of the AS
sembly to Mr.. Hubbard for his prompt
and successful action, and his kind
ness in refunding his retaining fee.

Locke Clerks
Nv VHAV ~AVMAkO
Won't IQin

All efforts to induce the clerks OF
the Locke shoe company to join the
union has SO far failed utterly, ac-
cording to a report made to the AS
sembly Sunday by the Executive
Board
The Executive Board has held meet
ings with the object in view of bring
ing the Locke clerks into the union
but without success. At one meeting
held four weeks ago two clerks were
present, one, it was understood, from
each store. The proposition was ex-
planned to them, with the result that
they had no objection whatever to
offer to Joining the union. and another
was arranged for at which it
was expected that the others would
attend.
At the second meeting, however, no
clerk came-not even the. two who
expressed themselves favorably before.
1t appeared to the delegates that the
store management had brought some
influence to bear in the meantime
which kept the clerks from joining.
The Executive Board was instructed
to continue on the case.

Trades Assembly Condemns
Three Congress Candidates

Sunday the Trades Assembly con-
demned three Of the four COMPRESSION
al candidates and came to the eonclu-
sion that there was but one for whom
the workers could Consistently vote
Walter B. HfltSa, the Socialist nomi-
nee
Chairman A. v. Fisher, of the Legis-
lative Committee, brought in a report
upon the political situation. He said :
Condemns Hearne.
81. G. Hearne is asking for your vote
on the strength of what he did for the
enactment of the Workmen's Compen-
sation law. You do not have him to
thank for this law. The workers have
but themselves to thank. The Trades
Assembly sent their repres entatives to
Charleston and there they worked
early and late. hard and long, for a
Compensation Act. And the law you
have is not the law we asked for. But
even as it is, it would still be much
worse if men like Hearne had had
their way. He introduced amendment
after amendment, which, if they had
prevailed, would have put your lives
into the hands of the foreign insur-
ance companies that previously in
tested this state. His amendments
would have killed the law,
Condemns Laughlin.
George A. Laughlin is asking for
your votes. He is stock holder in
I many industrial corporations, in some
of them he dominates. He makes all
his money from these industrial plants
ALL OF THEM ARE NON UNION.
Each and every plant works under
non-union conditions. And yet he
asks the support of union men. You
cannot consistently give it. When you
vote for the proprietor of non-union
concern you are voting in favor of
non unionism and against your own
interests.
Condemn Nicely.
IN. M. Nicely is the candidate of
tthe Fairmont field coal operators, the
Consolidation Coal Company. He has
been nominated by the coal barons in
their own interests. They have fought
unionism by all the means of which
they are capable, which include the
beating up and manning of men who
have dared to preach the message OF
unionism to their poor slaves. He is
an officer of the militia, that organiza-
ton which is used always against strik-
ing workingmen. to shoot them into
subsection. You cannot consistently
vote for him.
A Democrats Words.
| AS Mr.. Fisher is known as staqnch
Democrat on national issues, : his
words caused considerable commo-
ton and brought forth a genuine ova-
ton when he concluded:
Must Vote for Hilton.
f'There is but one Candidate for
whom you can consistently vote: Wal
| ter B. Hilton, the editor of our Labor
paper, who is the only candidate of
the workers in this election"

Austrian parliament from the Pilsen
district, spoke recently in the Wheel

Stop 10, Wheeling Creek, arranged by

vicinity. Through an error the public
was not we'll acquainted with the fact
and the meeting was not as represen-
tative as it should have been, but at
that il. was the largest meeting ever
held there
1t was only regretted that there
were not more English speaking peo-
pie, as Mr.. Habermann could have in

known to be in the employ of The Con-
solidation Coal Company, and the
secret police of this and Of other. bust
ness corporations in great numbers
now infest the Fairmont-C larksbuIg

Whereas, These secret, police are a
sinister and extra-legal power used to
intlmidate citizens and to disturb the
peace of the community; and
Whereas, Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty and our citizens re-
cognize that no person is sale while
the life and liberty of any man are
subject to unwarranted attack; and
Whereas, The voting constituency of
this jurisdiction is amply able to elect
and maintain such regular officials as
are necessary to administer its affairs
and preserve its peace, without the
Intervention of Baldwin detectives or
other extra-legal forces:
Therefore, Be it Resolved by this.
