Joe Beuter Job
Fair; Men At Work

The building OF Joseph Beuter out
the pike has been declared fair. The
action was taken by Sheet Metal
Workers Union No. 131 at the regular
meeting Monday night, and SO recon-
mended to the Building Trades Sec
ton, and that body endorsed the &C
ton later the same evening. Men Of
other crafts Immediately returned to
work.
The work was declared unfair by
the above organization after Mr.. Beu-
ter had men from the Wheeling Metal
and Manufacturing company putting
on the metal tile roof on his residence.
He contended that since it was his
own residence he could put it on with
/ his own employees but the organiza-
tons contended that since it was
building work, it should be, done by
men having Building Trades cards.
Mr.. Beuter had much of the work
done, but agreed to have the balance
done by union men. The organiza
ltions accepted this, and the work was
at once resumed.

Hearings in the Dayton injunction
case were again postponed Thursday.
Dispositions have been taken in the
Offices of Palmer and Curl, and con-
tinued from time to time, and are

Dayton in his decision in the case
which included prison terms for Fan
ME Sellins, Frank Ledvinka, James

Business AGENT
For Assembly

Is the Ohio Valley Trades and La
Dor to have business agent?
There is some talk of this in Labor
circles. 1t is pointed out that most
labor unions are too small to have a
business agent of their own, and yet
often the services of some one in ad-
justing their differences is needed
The Carpenters are the only organiza-
ton keeping business agent in the
field at all times e. D. Nickerson
serves them in that capacity. The Bel
mont County Stationary Engineers al
SO keep business agent in the field
practically all the time.
Other organizations have business
agents only part of the time. The
Sheet Metal workers have one, Albert
Remele, two days week, but 70 the
others have no definite time, simply
calling him from his work according
to need.
Many have none at all, and it is
these whom Trades Assembly bust
ness agent is likely to benefit most.
It is urged that the cost of maintain
ing such an officer in the field perman-
entity would be largely Offset by the
cost of committee services at present,
since he could attend to much that
now requires a committee. But the
plan seems to be to have the unions
interested most, contribute an extra
percapita to this expense, so that the
burden would fall onl yon the unions
needing his services. 1t has been cal
culated that ten cents per month per
member would maintain a general
business agent permanently.

Miners Plan Home
And Hospital Soon

A home building and hospital for
the Eastern Ohio miners is shaping
up as probability.
At the recent convention of Sub Dis
trice of District 6, the delegates went
on record as favoring an office build
ing and hospital for their organiza-
ton, and while no definite steps have
been taken toward realizing this ideal,
still the notion is taking a deeper hold
with the passing weeks.
: One of the properties that will be
considered is the Charles Duncan
homestead on Main street, at Stop Z.
This is fine large brick house, with
considerable ground about it. The
building could easily be adapted to
the use proposed, and there is room
for any additional structures the
miners would wish to erect. The
budding is situated ON knoll, and
the ground on top! is level for quite a
distance
The advocates of the home argue
that it would pay for itself in rent
alone, practically, since it is neces-'
sary now to pay out quite a sum for
their large quarters in the Heinlein
building, Bridgeport. And even now
they have not sufficient room.
We're it not for the bad industrial
conditions, the home would likely be
a reality by now, but if things bright
en- at all. it is certain that some active
steps will be taken toward it.

Squirt In Building !.
Trades Activity

| The last week has seen soemthing
of squirt in building trades activity.
After an exceptionally dull season,
things have bounded of with a ruch.
and practically all building trades
men are working now.
This is partially explained by the
season. Things in the building world
usually boom at this time, on account
OF preparing for the approach Of win
ter. This gives an impetus to repairs.
and urges speed on all new work that
might be affected by the weather con-
ditions, and this. of course, means all
outside weather
Carpenters Working.
Practically all carpenters are work
ing. There are seven hundred. men,
bers of the Ohio Valley Carpenters
District Council, and it has been diff
cult in the past week to find an idle
man. The condition will not be so sat
isfactory, however, in a week or two
Many jobs are nearing completion, or
getting to the point where a fewer
number Of men must be used. At the
Kresge Job, for instance, 20 men are
now employed, and, probably, in a
week they will be able to use but ten.
Out-the-pike conditions have been
picking up, however, in normal way.
More building has been done there
than usual at this time

Why The Compensation Commission
Ruled Against Mike StankQ

while on his way home he was over
come with cramps, and died about 7

about 5:3 Oand found his condition
uncha aged; was called again at p.

cramps were in all probability caused

When State Compensation Commits
sioner ruled against awarding bene-
fits in the case of Mike Stanko, who
died Of cramps, after working in the
Creek mill, great interest was at oncs
manifest among all mill workers,
since they are decidedly prone to this
affection, which results from the in
tense heat and the strain of the work.
Mill men contend that cramps are as
likely in their work as accidents in
coal mines, and that the compensa-
I ton law should cover this risk. Com
missioner Ott rules that cramps are
hot accidents.
