ZION HILL ZEPHYRS.

The boys of Zion Hill defeated the boys of Rock Creek school in a hotly contested game Sat urday by a score of IA to 9. For the first two innings the Rock Creek boys had the better of the game, running in six scores, but after the second in- ming Zion Hill took the lead and held it only by hard playing. They batteries were: For Zion Hill, Staples and Turner; for Rock Creek, w. Martin, Kirk patrick, L. Martin and Rives.

Armenian History.

The history of the later years of the Armenian kingdom is bound up in the history of Am. Tho stronghold city became the capital of the Bagratid kings of Armenia in 961. The Byzan- tium emperor captured it in 1046, and it was then hive of many scores of thousands, a wealthy city and an invit- ing one. The Seljuk Turks carried fire and sword throughout it's confines IS years later; the warlike Georgians took it five times between 1125 and 1909; the Mongols overran it in 1239 and an earthquake in 1919 completed the work of ruin. The great cathedral, the most perfect survival, was found ed in 1910, just at the beginning of the city's long chain of misfortunes.

Words in EnqIish Language.


 The English language is constantly growing and almost every persons vocabulary changes from year to year. The first edition of Webster's diction- ary, two quarto volumes, published in 1928, contained 10000 words and this number was increased by several thousand in the second edition of Websters dictionary in 1S40. An edi- tion of 1890 contained 175,000 words and the latest edition has more than 100000 Many of these are technical, scientific, or for other reasons re- stricted to limited use, but neverthe- less they are words. Obviously an educated man has a larger vocabulary, or command of words, than an unedu- cated one and professional writer or public speaker needs more than a day laborer. Shakespeare had vocabu- lary of about 15,000 words, but some that he used are now obsolete, while a large number of new ones have been added. Milton used about 5000 words. It is not likely that any public speak CT ever uses more than few thou sand words or the average citizen or man on the street more than few hundred.

Center of Universe.

A recent speculation is that Cano- pus, in the southern constellation of Argo, is the center of the stellar uni verse. Though second in apparent brightness to Sirius, it is really much distance of 483 light-years from us. Its volume is estimated at 2,400,000 times that of our own sun, while it's brilliancy is supposed to be 49,700 times as great.

STOG|E MAKERS LIKE
AMALGAMATION BETTER
AS THE time GOES ON

Local stogie makers are coming to
appreciate the advantages of amalga-
nation better as time goes on. Since
the vote for amalgamation carried by
a goodly majority, this means that the
sentiment is now practically unani-
NOUS, and proves the wisdom Of the
officers who advocated it when 1T
was unpopular
No stogie makers are leaving town,
as is true of some other trades. On
the contrary, men are coming to this
city in search of work in this indus
try. Business conditions are bad al
most everywhere, and, hearing that
the trade is better here, they head for
Wheeling.
AS a consequence, the Wheeling To-
cal, Old Garfield No. /, now No. sol,
has a greater membership than at
any time in its. history. there being
886 members in good standing.

Another Victory For Cour-
age, Organization and
Publicity.
Union TAKES IN
125 NEW MEMBERS

That organization pays, the Car
Workers are no wsure. Last week
they were assured by the management
of the Wheeling Can Company that
the excess amount improperly charged
against them and deducted from Their
nav. for the State Workmen's Compen
sation fund would sbe refunded. 1t is
estiated to exceed $500. The com
many offered to refund it individually
or to the union, and the members
voted to have the money paid over to
the organization, owing to the diff
Guilty Of properl yapportioning it
among all the employees. In this
way it will be a common fund for the
benefit of all.
.lajority readers will remember the
sublicity given in these columns to
this phase: that the poorly, paid
workers there were being oVercharg-
ed in their premiums. The state law
sides that the employer shall pay
nine-tenths of the compensation pre-
MUM and the employees one tenth, but
allows minimu charge of 5 cents In
month. The can company has beer
deducting five cents from each two.
weeks pay, thus getting IL cents pei
month. This, in spite of the fact tina
the employees share of the premium
would not rightfully average NOR
than 2 cents in d month. The work
ers even coplain that If they were
transferred in any one pay peEiod
from one department to another they
we're charged cents for each depart
ment.
AS matter of common decency ths
company should not make any deduc
ton whatever from the employees. Tho
amount is so small, and their presenr
wages SO pitifully inadequate, that
is an injustice to take even the nv
cents from them. Practically e.
plants in this vicinity pay the entire
amount and make no charge whatever
against their employees.
Many New Members.
One hundred and tweney=t1ye new
members were taken into the union
last Friday night at Bischoff's hall
The organization is already the sec
ond largest eunion in Wheeling, being
exceeded in numbers only by the
Stogie Makers, now Cigar Makers NO.
SOL In spite of the crowded condition
of the hall, the members conducted
their business in such prompt and
parliamentary fashion that would have
done credit to any older organization.
Another meeting will be held next
Friday evening at the same hall.

Anton J0hannsen
StirS Audiences

| Anton Johannsen reaches his audi
ence and lands his message deep il
their minds and hearts. He spoke fol
more than an hour before the Ohio
Valley Trades and Labor Assembly
Sunday and every moment grew more
interesting, so that his hearers were
lOath to have him close.
- His message was from the martyred
workers of the Pacific Coast, who are
now in jail and facing the gallows be,
cause the Merchants and Manufactur.
ers Association have made war on
Labor, carrying out the behest of the
United States Steel corporation and
its subsidiary, the National Erectors
Association.
This thirty billion dollar corpora
tion,' said Mr. Johannes, made war
on organized Labor because the con.
Germ was SO vastly over-capitaliZed
that some way had to. be found for in
Ecreasing the profits and there was no
place to get the excess except from
the sweat and blood of the workers.
To destroy their only protection then.
their labor unions, became the policy
of the Steel Trust.
How well that has succeeded you
know. Labor unionism has been wiped
out of the mills, out of the mines,
from off the lakes-no where does it
still exist except among the structur-
al iron workers. The Iron Workers
Union, resisting so splendidly, became
the particular object of the union
wreckers, and nothing was left by
them undone, legal, illegal, and extra
legal, to accomplish this.
THAT the Iron Workers union still
exists, and stronger than ever, with
a higher wage tina never, with short
er hours tina never, with more mem
bers tan ever, is proof that their fight
ing spirit has been magnificent. This
is attested by the fact that they have
considered their jailed fellow workers
as prisoners of war, and they have
seen that their families had bread
while the husbands and fathers are
behind the stone walls.
"Caplan and Schmidt are among
these sufferers. They are being pun
for individual misdeeds, but
for their social loyalty. They have
stood with their fellow workers, and
for that crime they are to be put to
death"
wherever worker has suffered
because of his loyalty to us, we should
stand with him. Don't the other side
stand together? Shall we then waste
our time and efforts in childish quib-
bling over whether mistake has been
made. We are but human and we
can't make much without mistakes,
but we ought to consider always
whether a man has stood with his
class against the temptations to trea-
son."
Mr.. Johannsen is spending the week
in visiting the unions in the interests
of the defense. The Assembly OIL
cially urged all local unions to con-
tribute and they are responding nice
He will leave Saturday for Pitts
burgh, and will go from there to Chi
cago, where wide campaign will be
waged for the defense.
