delegates To Demand Lewis From
The Labor Movement IN This Valley
Formal Protest Of Ohio Valley Trades & Labor Assembly
To Be Made To Big AT of Men In Washington, D.

Delegates Leo J. LaFlam and A. v
Fisher, left Tuesday morning for
Washington, D. c., as representatives
of the Ohio Valley Trades & Labor
Assembly, where they will appear be-
fore President Samuel Gompers and
Secretary Frank Morrison, of the
American Federation of Labor, in
formal protest against the action of
Organizer John Lewis of that body,
in an effort to have an A. F. of L. cen
trail body practically supercede the
Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assem-
bly,, by force.
These gentlemen were elected by
the Assembly Sunday afternoon, in
regular session, after the body had
discussed the matter OF the plans of
Mr.. Lewis at considerable length.
Delegate LaFlam, short while be-
fore their departure, said:
"We leave for Washington, D. c., to
present our case to the heads of the
great American Labor movement,
knowing that the odds are against US,
but fully believing that If we can sue

men and convince them that, while
they have the power to install a new
central body in Wheeling, they have
no power to force delegates to attend;
and, without that feature, the central
body cannot and will not be sue
cess; and / believe that both Mr..
Gompers and Mr.. Morrison, when once
convinced, would accede to our re-
quest, and withdraw Mr.. Lewis from
this field and leave the movement
intact.

the laws set down by the American
Federation of Labor, and will con-
tinue to do so in the future, and per-
sonally cannot see anything but that

movement that would tend to change
things here from the way they are
now.
'But / can see that if they leave
us alone, and put forth the same effort
to adjust the difference existing be-
tween the International Cigar Makers
Union and the National Stogie Makers
League, that they can be successful
in bringing about a result that would
be lasting good to all concerned,
and the movement in the city would
go along in the future as it has in
the past, and perform its functions as
a good, clean central body should"

President Brock
Claims Innocence

On. Saturday last, James F. Brock,
international president and organizer
of the Laundry Workers Union, was
arrested in Bellaire, Ohio, and fined
five dollars, upon the charge OF SIAN
dering c. A. Smith, proprietor OF the
United States Laundry. The alleged
offense is said to have taken place two
weeks ago.
President Brock states that he Is not
guilty of the charge, and that his ar
rest is due to the fact that he has or
ganized Smih's employees, and thereby
compelled Smith to pay them fair
wages, and grant them better condl-
lions generally, than they enjoyed
before.
The Laundry Workers president
also stated that one automobile agent,
who recently sold Smith $4,000 ma
chine, was placed on the stand, and
when he was asked if he had heard
the defendant SANDER Smith, his an
swer was, 81 think heard him" and
after q little coaching, according to
Brock. the man stated that he did
hear the defandant Islander Smith.

The Ohio Valley Trades & Labor
Assembly, having been notified that a
majority of affiliating locals favor a
parade on Labor Day, voted in regu-
aar session last Sunday afternoon to
parade Labor Day. The meeting was
veil attended, and much interest was
displayed by all.
A committee was appointed to visit
Ill the locals and enlist their help in
N effort to make. the parade the larg-
,st in the history of the Assembly
rhe following constitute the commit
tee: A. " Fisher, William Dixon
Ind Abner Carbin.
A committee on arrangements,
whose principal duty it shall be to
make the picnic at the park a success,
was also appointed, and nothing will
De left undone to make that feature OF
he celebration big affair. Those
composing this committee are: H. B.
Vessel, Thomas B. Salisbury, William
Eberts, John Kline and Matt Greer.
The Assembly's Executive Board
then reported the addition of two spe-
lial meetir/, called since the last
regular se(s.on, to consider the actions
of Organizer John Lewis, Of the A. F.
of L., in an effort to organize a. new
central body. The report of this board
has not been made public, but was
ratified by the Assembly.
The entire body then went into a
discussion, of some length relative to
Lewis actions, and all locals present
reiterated their former declared inten-
ton of standing by the Ohio Valley
Trades & Labor Assembly, in the con
test. Delegates Leo, J.. LaFlam and
A. v. Fisher were appointed to visit
President Gompers and Secretary
Frank Morrison, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, and formally request
the withdrawal of Organizer Lewis
from this valley AS stated elsewhere,
they left for Washington, Tuesday
morning.
An invitation will be extended the
merchants and other business men, to
participate in the parade, and do what
they can to add to the pleasures of
the occasion. Music will be rendered
and good addresses will be delivered,
and the general indications are that
this celebration will be of high char
acter.
The line of march and the formation
will be arranged for later by Chief
Marshal C. H. Higgins.

Bridgeport, Ohio, Aug. Is, 1914.
To the Officers and Members of Sub
District No. Of District No. 6, U:
M. w. of Ia:
Fellow Waprkers-We are now en-
gagged nearly five months in bitter In
dustrial >strAggle.
No one realizes more than your sub
district officials do the suffering and
hardship our members and their faml-
lies have to endure.
Again, no one regrets more than
your officers do that we were unable
@ secure a satisfactory agreement
with the Eastern Ohio operators.
You are aware that many joint cons
ferences were held and our position
was clearly explained to the operators,
but all our efforts so far to reach an
honorable settlement and terminate
the present struggle were in vain.-
Your delegate to the last joint con-
yention no doubt explained to You the
unfair position taken by the Eastern
Ohio operators against our just de-
mands. We have done all we could
and know how to do to protect the IN
terests of our fellow workers.
Our membership is continually mo
Tested with rumors and reports that
have absolutely no foundation and are
directly traceable to the camp OF our
enemy. We therefore appeal to the
members of our sub-district not to pay
any attention to any reports that are
not sent to you from the sub-district
officers.
You will probably be advised by
certain people, bosses or superintend-
ents to call special meetings and ADOPT
certain measures in order to end the
strike, not for your. benefit, but for
the benefit of the bosses. =
We advise and urge you not to call
any meetings Of your local for the
purpose of arranging terms of settle
ment unless you are officially notified
20 do SO by the sub-district officials.
We wish to have the full co-opera-,
ton of every member in our sub-dis-
trict organization, and by so doing
you can rest assured that your inter-
ests will be fully protected.
Respectfully yours,

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 27-Mar-
rage between white persons and per-
sons of negro descent is to be pro-
hibited in the southern states, if a
bill now on the calendar of the House,
strongly supported by the Southern
negro-baiting Democrats and boosted
by Big Business, becomes law. Chan
ces favor its passage in the House, but
the Senate is inclined to shelve it for
political reasons. The Democratic
Senators do not all come from the
South.
The economic value of this sort of
legislation to the ruling business caste
in. the South is that it tends to break
the spirit of modernism that has come
to the niger" along with the public
school and the trade union. Colored
people are becoming conscious Of their
human dignity and their responsibility
to develop toward the white mans
plane of social value. They are rails
ing their standards of living, and are
demanding better wages, while the
trade union is slowly making its way
into their confidence. These facts
worry the big business interests in
the South of today, which is the South
turned over by the land owner to the
factory owner and railroad manager.
Something must be done to humble the
black laborer, and to prevent his chill
dren from wanting to become anything
