opinion, to justify yohr compliance
with our request.
We respectfully submit that you

Another Step | Now
Toward Solidarity

The Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly took another step Sunday to-
ward the solidarity Of the Labor fore
es in Wheeling by authorizing the Ex-
ecut1ve Board to fix a date for joint
meeting of the executive boards of the
Ohio Valley, he Belmont and the
Moundsville Trades and Labor Assem-
blles.
The movement was inaugurated by
the Trades Assembly at the previous
meeting, and communications sent the
other two Assemblies asking them to
meet for the purpose of considering
ways and means of .perfecting a har-
manious relation among all labor or
CARNATIONS in the valley. Both accept
ed the proposition, and when the ans
wers were read the executive board
was instructed to fix the date for the
joint meeting.
Those who are interested in the pro-
gress Of Labor in this vicinity are I'M
animous In the decision that such a
movement will have a wonderfully
good effect for the. labor unions. y
Against Tax Raise.
The Assembly went on record as
against the proposed increase in the
tax rate for Wheeling. 1t was argued
that to increase the washing machine
water tax a dollar and to increase the
tax rate. any would levy the hardest
burden upon the poor, and that in
stead of this the council should insist
upon the wealthy tax dodgers being
assessed heF just and rightful share
This action was unanimous and fol-
lowed a report by Chairman Fisher of
the Legislative Committee.
