MOTHER JONES AND JAMES LORD
TO SPEAK FOR JOHN R. LAWSON

The committe having the meeting
of protest for the benefit Of John R,
Lawson in charge met at the Majority
Hall, with Fred Sonderman presiding,
and went into the affair with a spirit
that will make it success. Many
plans were presented and considered
but the committee, after going over
the proposition thoroughly, decided
that Thursday, July Is, would be the
date of the meeting and the Auditor
ium would be the place, with Mother
Jones and James Lord as the speak
ers.
Mother Jones needs no introduction
to the people of this city other than to
say she is one Of the able organizers
of the United Mine Workers and fear
less, ever ready to go where she can
do the most good, regardless of the
danger or the Inconvenience to one of
her advanced years.
James Lord is the head Of the De-
partment Of Mines Of the A. F. of L.,
and a finished orator. The fact that
the situation in Colorado has occupied
the attention of the department of
which he is the head makes it posi-
BILE for him to handle this subject in a.
manner that will appeal to the sense
of justice Of any audience fortunate
enough to hear him.
The trip is arranged by the United
Mine Workers Of America and aetour
of the Industrial centers is planned.
Wednesday, July IA, they viii appear
in Columbus, Ohio, and the following
night they will appear here.
Public Invited.
As it is to be of general nature the
public is invited to be present. In
order that more thorough under
standing be had the committee stated
that $4,000 complimentary tickets will
be distributed to the citizens of the
Valley and all those wishing them can
secure them through the secretary of
their local or by calling at the office
of the Majority. The tickets will be
issued about July 10th.
Ohio Miners.
The members of the United Mine
Workers on the Ohio side. will be in
attendance in great numbers as all of
them are familiar with the horrors of
the Colorado strike and the railroading
of innocent men to the penitentiary
in that state.
The date July 10; place-the Audi
torium; tines P. M.

ALL IS READY FOR
FLINT CONVENTION

The convention of the Flinte a
Columbus, Ohio, is to be the CREATES
session held for some time, as the
preparations being made are of a very
elaborate nature. The Flints of that
city are sparing no expense to make
the week pleasant one. The several
locals near Columbus will open the
convention with a street parade and
the local of that city, aided by The
entertainment committee. have pre-
pared a banquet for the visiting dele
gates.
The delegates will arrive there Sun
day, JGiy 4, as the first session OF the
thirty-ninth convention will be called
Monday, July 9Th, Thomas w. Rowe,
the International President, presiding.
Summer Stop.
The convention and the summer
stop are the most interesting topics
-~r members of this craft. The stop
will begin the first of July and con-
tinue through the month, and the en-
ployes of the many glass plants will
enjoy, the loaf in many ways. Many
of them will be found enjoying the
time acmping in groups along the
many streams, while others will
spend some of the time at the many
summer resorts.
Suffer by Depression.
The coming fire is looked forward
to as being better. than the one just
ended. The Flints have suffered more
by the. depression than many u he
crafts of the country, and win be eled
when the condition of the trade Is
such that they can look forward ID
the time when fun time win be made
by them. -
Many Repairs.
Many repairs will be made by the
glass factories during the time the
plants are idle, and the repairs will
be such that the expected increase in
business for the coming fire can be
taken care of without any Interrupt
lions for several months.

Overlapping Jurisdiction.
The peculiar nature of the working
conditions of many of the crafts in
the Valley make this move necessary.
Eight different locals organized here
with jurisdiction extending over the
river front on the Ohio side,s- with
headquarters in Wheeling, and being
members of the Building Trades Sec
ton here, object to the conflict OF in
terests caused by the two Building
Sections and refuse to support the
second or unnecessary organization,
stating that one organization with one
card and two Executive Boards. or an
equal number from both sides COM
posing the Executive Board having all
Building interests consolidated and
working with the best interests OF all

The Pollock Memorial monument.

Ohio Valley, viii be erected on or
about November LIST, on the Court
House grounds. The committee having
charge stated that the exact date of
the unwilling was as yet not selected,
but would be about then.
The description carried by the Ma
jority and taken from the drawings
made by Fred Faris, several months
ago, show that the monument viii be
a credit to the community. The local
Labor movement undertook that which
was never done before-erect a monu-
ment to the memory of Augustus Pol
lack, the most broad-minded and liber-
al employer of labor the Labor move
ment in this Valley has ever dealt
with.
Fred Faris, a local architect, inject.
ed his own ideas into the sketch that
was finally selected. And the contract
to erect the monument was let to a
local firm, Edward Kreutzer, 142S

NORTH WHEELING POTTERY
SHUTS DOWN; NO NEWS

The North End Pottery shut down
Monday of this week, and as the firm
made no arrangements with the men
as to when they would start again they
are at a loss to know-When to report.
That the plant will be idle at least
one week is certain, and whether the
loaf will extend int GA longer period
is a matter of guessing with the en-
ployees. It is known by the employees
that the orders have fallen of the last
week or ten days, making suspension
at this time necessary.

ed to John Williams, the President Of

satisfaction constantly appearing here
in the district among the eight build

and request made that he consolidate

the utter impossibility of the eight 10

Thomas Gi||igan
Talks Of Trade

called at the Majority office. Tom is
as much interested in the movement
at Columbus as he was when serving
as the president of the Ohio Valley
Trades and Labor Assembly. He
statedthat they are conducting a la
Dor Forward" movement at that place
and as result of the canvass for new
locals they were rewarded with six
different locals.
Retained Duffy.
> The many potters in the district will
be glad to hear that the labor move
ment was responsible for the fact that
II. J. Ducy was retained as member
of the Industrial Commission of the
State of Ohio; the many locals, through
the state poured into the Office of the
Governor many protests when he was
about to weld the axe that would de-
prive Thomas J. Duffy of his. position.
Gilligan is a delegate to the national
convention of the potters to be held
at Atlantie City, and remained in the
city until Thursday morning when he
left over the b. & o. for the coast city.
While 1t the convention he will put;
forth every effort to bring the 1916
convention to the city of Columbus;
the arguments he is presenting are
good, as the convention held very
year in some city other than pottery
town will have a tendency to kill the
interest the rank and file has in the
general organization. To say that the
organization has made more progress
the last six years while meeting in
city that has no local interest in the
proceedings would be making a state
ment that could not be proved by the
late results. If the conventions were
held at cities that have potteries To-
Gated there for about three years and
the results noted the trade would
again adopt the original idea Of pottery
towns for pottery conventions.
He stated, when talning of the con-
ditions of the trade at the shop where
he is employed, that the plant is work
ing every day and as it is 7-kiln plant
the firm finds it necessary to erect
another kiln to take care of the bust
ness and will have it completed in
about two weeks.
