necessary to right those wrongs III

LABOR MENARE
TO Be INVITED
To Hold Their State Conven-
ton in 1916 in the City Of
Huntington.

HUNTINGTON. Dec. 19.-Dele.
gates to the annual meeting OF the
State Federation of Labor opening its
1915 session in Charleston February
Is, will carry to the convention an
invitation from Huntington locals for
the meeting in 1916. 1t is believed
by local labor leaders that there is
no doubt but that state convention
will be secured.
The labor federation meeting
would bring about 200 delegates and
over one thousand visitors to Hunt
ington. 1t is believed a meeting here
would be unusually large because OF
the convenience of this location.
Local unions here are now consider
ing the call for the state meeting and
eIecting delegates. The trades and
labor assembly has named w. n.
Thompson and the potters E. o.
Lloyd, one of the vice-presidents Of
the state body.
In legislature years the federation
meets in Charleston and for. this rea-
son the 1915 gathering is Of extraor-
binary Importance. Among the mat
tiers to be taken up and brought be-
fore the legislature by committees OF
the federation is an improvement Of
the workmen's compensation act.
Local labor men feel the West Virgin
la statute does not compare with that
of Ohio. Several amendments will be
advocated.
Other legislation includes child la
Dor statutes, mother pension, and
free text books for all public schools
in the state.
/ Labor leaders here are making a
strong. fight for free text books and
expect to make themselves heard at
the state federation meeting.
Probably over one hundred union
timer, of Monticello avenue, was

LEGISLATURE TO
Be PET|T|ONED
FOR new LAWS
Business Mems Association.
Wants Remedy for Certain
Trade Abuses.

HUNTINGTON, Dec. 1a.-Legisla-
ton, which the West Virginia BUSH
ness Mems Association believes will
correct certain trade abuses. is ready
for presentation to the next session
of the legislature.
A petition Is being circulated by
Roland Mossman, secretary of the
Huntington Business Mems Associa-
ton. to secure signers calling upon
the legislature to pass the acts sought.
The petition will be presented to va
rious members of the local associa-
tlon.
Bad Check Law.
The following acts were advocated:
Amendment to bad check law, un-
der which the twenty-day limit with
in which time a bad check
may be made good is cut
to ten days. II is made criminal
to give check without funds to pay
an account or to, secure goods. I'm
der the present law 1t is only Grimm
al where money is received on the
check.
The embezzlement statute amended
to make the offense more plain and
to connect the civil and criminal
codes relating to ENLIGHTENMENT.
Under the proposed amendments to
the homestead and exemptions act
all property. both real and personal,
must be recorded in the Office of the
county clerk il exemptions are taken
at time Of judgments against the
property.
False Advertising.
Another act it is hoped to put
through is that relating to false and
misleading advertising. Such adver-
Using is made misdemeanor.
The most drastic bit of legislation
proposed is that pertaining to itine-
rant vendors. Under this statute
fraudulent fire. trustees, bankrupt, in
solvent sales are illegal. The law re-
quires that previous to such sale the
owner of the store to be sold shall
file with the county clerk list Of
the goods to be sold and from whom
purchased. This eliminates the chance
of selling out a stock of old goods un-
der the fire sale device.
The itinerant law, also requires any
peddler or other vendor or firm COM
| ing into the city. whether he rents a
room, peddles on the streets or ap-
pears in conjunction with some local
firm, to put upSa bond of $500 with
the county clerk for taxes, judgment
against him or other costs that might
arise. He also is required to take
out license, costing $500 annually,
and which is not issued for less than
one year.
Weights and Measures.
Another important statute relates
Ito demurrage and charges against
common carriers. The law requires
THAT all claims against the companies
of demurrage shall be paid within
sixty days, the method OF determining
the amount of which to be determined
by the rules Of the public service COM
mission.
A more stringent statute regulating
false weights and measurements IL
also demanded.
