E E. Baker, general organizer of

interviewed by Majority man. He
expressed himself as deeply regretting
that he could not at this time stay
and help thel ocaI Clerks in their bat
tie against the array of antagonistic
merchants headed by the Locke Shoe
Company but said that he would be
able to be in this vicinity again in

section which has been so freely

they choose, long hours and short pay.

Painters Want
Ten Cents More

Wheeling Union Painters are asking
for an increase of ten cents per day
in their pay. This is but another part
of the original increase asked by
them last year, when they made re-
quest for 81 per day and eventually &C
cepted compromise of 451a cents per
hour, or $366 per day.
If the present requested increase is
demanded the Painters will still be
considerably below the original de
mand of $4, as this will bring them
to but 1915 per day.
Several conferences have been held
with the employers, and the demand
is SO reasonable that it is believed
that it will be granted.
