Glove Strikers Are Firm.

Secretary Frank Morrison, of the
American Federation of Labor, was
in this city Wedne sday, Thursday
and Friday of last week in the in
terest of striking glovemakers.
Large mass meetings of workers
were held in this city and in Johns
town. Numerous conferences were
held with officers of the strikers
and representatives of the manu-
tacturers. The latter insisted that
the time is inopportune for an in
crease in The wage scale, but the
manufacturers will grant an in
crease when conditions make it
possible. "
Secretary Morrison informed
Chairman Leh-, of the Manufac
turers' association, that while net
questioning the settlement made
by the manufacturers that the time
was not opportune for an increase
In the wage scale, yet he was of
the opinion that if they desired to
demonstrate their good intentions
and earnestness in the matter they
would appoint committee to meet
committee Of the glove cutters
for the purpose of designating the
time when the increase would be
put into effect. He informed Mr.
Lehr that the granting of an in
crease was inevitable and that the
cutters were entitled to it because
of the increased cost of living that
was in operation when the strike
occurred.
On Monday of this week a COM
plex and antricately formed arbi-
tration board was urged by the EN-
ployers To this the glove cutters
dissented and suggested that both
sides appoint committee of FIVE
representatives TO which the entire
matter be referred for the purpose
of agreeing on the dote when the
increase would go into effect and

The strikers are being cautioned
not to put too much Importance to
these negotiations, but success will
be theirs it they maintain a solid
line and continue perfecting their
+ recently formed trade unions. This
was the theme of Secretary Nor
r1son's talks to the strikers, who
were told of the efforts of the
American Federation of Labor in
/ their behalf.
The strike has been on since last
August. These workers have not
received wage increase for seven
teen years and it has been re-
peatedly shown that their average
weekly wage was but Sl3 30
About 5000 men and women are
involved. They were unorganized
when they walked out, but since
then they are being organized and
chartered by the International
Glove Warkers' Union of America,
affiliated to the A. F. o. L. The
American Federation of labor has
assigned Organizers Flet. and
Wyatt TO aid the strikers and or
ganize the glove makers. There
are four glove makers to every
glove cutter. All of the glove
cutters with the exception of $50,
have already been enrolled during
the past week

tauqua, in the state of New York, a
little band of Christian workers
under the leadership of one of our
Makers greatest in his army here be-
low, Bishop Vincint. This little band
discussed the word of God, created
their schools OF instruction in litera-
ture, art and science. Each year they
met, each year adding to the scope
of the institution they had organized
They called this little institution
"Chautauqua. The institution grew.
called to Chautauqua to speak. The
great singers and musicians whose
work was in keeping with the educa-
ton and instruction of mankind
were called TO Chautauqua to give
the increasing multitude the benefit
of their talents Entertainments by
the artists in keeping with the Chris
tan life were added, for it was rec
ognized that every healthy Christian
needs and desires the right sort of
entertainment
The great movement expanded
Such movement could not but ex-
pand. 1t pushed out into other
fields, until today each year over
three thousand Chautauqua Assem-
blies are conducted thruout the Unit
ed States.
The Chautauqua is distinctly re-
ligious movement 1t believes in re-
ligious uplift and consequently the
moral. intellectual and physical up

every community in which it abides
There is no true Chautauqua that
does not hold its religious sessions

the public
