Assembly Endorses
Laws Program Of
State Federation

The Legislative program of the West
Virginia Federatio nof Labor, as de-
tailed in the announcement of Presi-
dent H. P. Corcoran and the executive
board, was unanimously endorsed by
the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly Sunday. The program was
printed in the last issue of the Ma
Jority and the readers will remember
that the principal bills which Labor
will urge are: improvements to the
Workmen's Comp Law, Mo
Tiers Pension Law, and a better Chi.
Labor law
The endorsement was in line with
the recommendations of Chairman A.
+. Fisher of the Assembly Legislative
Committee. Mr. Corcoran was present
and also explained the intentions of
the officers Of the State Federation.
Child Labor.
A determined effort will be made at
the coming session to improve the
Child Labor laws which now rank
West Virginia quite low in the list Of
states in the matter of child protec-
ton. and the endorsement of the State
Federation and the Assembly of this
work will doubtless be welcomed by
all earnest advocates of this move
ment.

Expert Kills
City Ownership
In Dayton Ohio
t-a. Ill HH HUH "HU

CHICAGO, Dec 18.-More interest:
ing than Confessions of gunman OF
industry were the plans used to de
feat the Labo interests of Dayton, O..
and the referendum on a municipal
light plant. William G.. Deacon OF
Public Service" tells in this organ OF
the public utility interests how he man
aged the game.
After having petition signed by 10
per cent of the voters, turned down
at the hands of the, famous "city
manager" the Labor forces got sec
ond mandatory petition with total
of rs Der cent of the voters. Terror
seized the local light company SO they
called in man to mold public opin-
ion"
Lined Up Club Men.
The first thing the writer tells he
did was to line up the Commercial
club With its 5000 members. fnen
he had the city manager place two
added bond issues before the peojle
at the same election, in spite of the
precarious situation of city finances
after the floods of 1913.elet u
Then they closed the mouths of all
the large newspapers, and had the
Greater Dayton association recon-
mend the added bond issues for a
fancy $1,000,000 elevation of a grade
crossing, and needed. but doubtful
expense of $3.50, 900 for Fairgrounds.
That settled the fate of the $500,00C
municipal light plant, and the people
in fear of a $4,000, 900 bond issue, voted
down the three schemes, Is, lob votes
being cast against the light plant and
8, 042 being favorable.
f. People Were Blinded.
A. lesson can be learned regarding
the capacity of that city manager, and
how to scare him with 5000 member
| in the Greater Dayton association
The impression was iresistable on the
city manager, and he capitulated.
A few Independent city aldermen
might have frustrated the whole
scheme. Election returns showed thai
| the work of w. G. Deacon from Sept
| until election night had blinded the
people so they were willing to vote
away their rights.
| How reasonable the plan of the Day
ton Labor interests was, is evidenced
lby the fact that they proposed to bono
| the city for 100000 and had plans
for putting up as fine a plant as thu
iprivate company claimed cost $4,000,
900. The bonds were to be of the
value of $50, at Az per cent SO the
small investor could buy the city Sc
tcurities.

Argue for Betterments

board of company officials and two
so-calfed outsiders. 1t was shown
that these outsiders, however, are
chosen by the railroad company, that
the board thus former of railway Off
Gals and two neutra1s conducts the
investigation, comes to finding and
ssnes the guilt or innocence of the
railway employe in a newspaper be-
fore such employee is given an oppor-
tunity to make a statement regarding
his side of the case.
Inquiry Decisions Against Men,.
Mr.. Kaerns and Grand Chief Stone
declared that the practice in vogue at
present is for the accused employe to
follow the verdict of the board of In
quiry by personal appeal to, high
er committee or official to whom he
finally submits his side of the case.
did you ever heard Of an instance,
Mr.. Kearns," asked Grand Chief Stone
where the findings of a board of in
suiry in these matters was ever re-
versed by the committee or company
officials after an employe had made
his own defense?"
mo, sir. AS far as l recall" re-
piled Mr. Kearns, "the sentence i'm
posed and published by the official
inquiary board always has held"
James NJ Sheean, counsel for the
companies, cross examined Mr.. Kearnss
on this point and attempted to defend
the railroads by developing the fact
hat in such cases the accused man
las full opportunity to present his
side of the controversy but the wits
ness stuck to it that as far as he knew
seldom, if ever, the official inquisi-
tors change their opinion. Grand Chief
Stone at this juncture leaped to his
feet and said that he would produce
afidavits disclosing that in two cases
officials had prepared the findings Of
an investigation prior to going through
he motions of obtaining the aid Of the
so-called neutral members Of the board
This evidence is expected to be de-
veloped during the coming week.

Organization
Committee

Skipping next week because of
Christmas, the Organization Campaign
Committee will not meet until the fol
lowing Tuesday. This was done in the
thought that it would be difficult to
get the members together during the
holiday week.
Perhaps because of the extreme cold
weather, there was not a good attend
ance at the meeting held Tuesday
might, in the Committees quarters in
the Majority building, 1906 Market
street, and those who were present
decided not to take any determining
action on any matter in the absence
of the others:
It is hoped that there will be a well
attended meeting next Tuesday week
