Glass Workers S

The new Camp Glass Works has be-
GUN operation and bids fair to be a
permenent institution in the Hunting
ton industrial field. We Socialists are
not enthusiastic about profits and
land schemes and therefore not par
ricularly interested in massing great
aroups Of factories, from which spring
ali the vice and misery OF conSested
city life.
We are chiefly interested in the
Camp Glass Works because of the
new workineclass element introduced
in our midst. Will they prove a draw
back or an aid to the industrial and
political workineclass movement Of
Huntington?
We are gratIfed to be able to in
form the unions and Socialists of the
city that the great majority of the
new Glassworkers are thoroughly alive
10 the problem confronting the work
indclass. A committee from Hunting
ton Trades Assembly composed of
Geo. Shelf and J. W. Swan visited the
elassworkcrs and with little difficulty
succeeded in arranging meeting, IN
which local union will be perfected
and delegated to Central body named.

enjoyed fraternal visit last Sunday
with several new glassworkers and
they gave interesting discussions OF
the class struggle in the different parts
of the country from which they hail.

blank to listen to a peace proposed
from the Western Federation OF
Miners. They refuse to arbitrate be-
