CHILDREN
MAKE CIGARS

Detroit, Dec. 99.-Business Agent
Jones of the Cigarmakers' union told
federation of labor delegates that
non-union cigar plants in this city
give certificates of competency" after
one years work, instead of six months,
as formerly.
"A child works in a place Of this
kind for 81 week. he said. 'That
is, she gets that dollar a week II she
first works a year. At the end OF
her year she is given back pay at the
rate Of dollar. During her appren-
ticeshfp' she receives a certificate each
week which entities her to a dollar
for each certificate at the end Of the
year. Yet some men smoke the prod
uct of these places, though they could
get excellent cigars made under union
and humane conditions"

Organized Labor of the Ohio Valley
will get behind the Butchers strike
and assure it's success.
This was made certain by the action
of the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly, Sunday, in passing the
resolution given above. 1t means that

four thousand familiesl will take &C
tive part in tn eButchers' strike, both
in furnishing financial support, and in
participating in the councils that con-
duct the strike. s-s.---gg--' :. ::
Almost the entire session was de-
voted to discussion of the strike. and
the unanimous sentiment Of the dele
gates favored every possible effort at
solidarity of all workers in the
Wheeling district to be exerted in be-
half of the Butchers.

COTCOran Back
-
From Frisco

H. p. Corcoran, former president OF
the Trades Assembly and of the West
Virginia Federation of Labor, has re
turned from San Francisco, where he
spent year as superintendent of the
West Virginia building at the Panama
Exposition, having been appointed by
Governor Hatfield to this position. He
is being welcomed by old friends, and
promises ito soon get back in the La
Dor harness again."
He was present at the Sunday ses-
sion of the Ohio Valley Trades and
Labor Assembly. and, upon sugges-
ton Of Fred w. Sonderman, made a
brief but interesting talk relative to
his experience of the past year:
II have been in. a place" said he,
where organized Labor does things
San Francisco. / don't know of any
city where organized Labor has done
as much. The Fair itself was noted
for one thing never before known in
tn eworld-that every building in the
three square miles was built from bot
tom to top by union labor. In the
opening of the Fair, organized Labor
was recognized among the speakers,
and Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, acqpit-
ted himself and the Labor movement
with credit.
"The Fair was an unqualified sue
cess, far in excess Of the expectations
of all those connected with it. The
total attendance was the greatest in
history, the average daily attendance
very large, and on Labor Day, which
was held in the grounds by the San
Francisco Federation Of Labor, the
was the fifth largest,
every one of whom paid their fifty
cents, thus proving that Labor ap-
preciated the fact Of its recognition.
"One paper in the state has said
that in taking the position at San
Francisco had sold out the Labor
will not answer that
leave that to you people whom / have
worked among for IA years.
'In the convention of the American
Federation Of Labor represented the
West Virginia Federation Of Labor as
it's delegate. 1 consider that the State
Federation, and not myself personal
ly, has been honored by my election
as Fraternal delegate to the Trades
Union Congress of Canada. Until two
hours before / was elected 1 had op-
position, but this was withdrawn and
l was elected by reclamation I hope
I will be able to serve in this capacity
in the interests of the workers Of this
rountry and of Canada.
IT am going back to the bench at
the stogie trade next week, and while
I will not be delegate at the open
ing of your next years Asseobly, but
I learned my unionism just on the
knees of staunch unionist, and owe
my education since to TIFF association
in this body, and, though I will be
but a member of the rank and file, you
have but to call on me at any time"

ton to win. The meeting was called
to order by President Charles Hug
gins of the Trades Assembly, who
presided and introduced H. P. Cor
coran. Chairman HIGGINS explained
the meeting as heart-to-heart talk,
for the expression Of opinion from all,
in the effort to see how the strikers
could best be helped by all the other
workers.
II. r. corcoran.
Mr.. Corcoran said he always con-
sidered the Butcha4s as one of the
best organizations Of Wheeling. and
probably the last one which he should
have expected to see engaged in a
strike, as for 80 years they had been
able to carry on progress in an amic-
able manner, without a conflict. He
realized that they were the. poorest
paid mechanics in the city, and justi-
fed in their contentious. The Labor
movement of Wheeling had support
ed strikes in the. past, sometimes for
as long as Is months, and would back
up this one, but the striking members
themselves must be loyal, and must
not lack interest in their own strug-
gle, but, on the contrary, must sup
port their officials efforts. Finances
were not all to be considered, and if
any man threatened to go back to
work unless he was paid a certain
sum, he should go back, and the union
would be stronger than in trying to
buy off such a man from scabbing.
Abner Corhin.
Abner Corbin, a striker, talked at
some length, and said that he did not
want to see any laxity in an organiza-
ton that had voted more than 800 out
of 325 in favor of strike to enforce
their just demands. He had seen the
Butchers union grow through 80 years
from IL members, and he wanted to
see the progress continue.
Charles Yoke.
Charles Yoke, a striker, injected
some enthusiasm into the assemblage,
and told them not to be afraid of the
Injunction, for it did not prohibit law
full acts, and that it was perfectly
lawful to go to a man, even to his
house, and ask him to quit taking the
place of a striker. He urged them to
be on the job and not let the packers
bluff them.

spoke, saying that the only danger
possible would be one that the pack

themselves. He urged all the work.
ers to keep active in keeping the re-
tail trade in touch with the facts.
Edward Real.
Edward Real urged the men to pick.

had sometimes been outnumhered by
the strikebreakers that were hrough!

enough men at trains to talk with the

Mike TuefeI.
Mike Teufel, Bohemian, gave a
most interesting talk. He told of go
ing to Schenk's for his tools and find
ing bunch of men there who did not
even wear aprons, and were evidently
not butchers, but "shoemakers." He
told of no wAlbert Schenk coaxed him
to come back, and told him there was
no union any more, but he refused to
betray his fellow workers. Mike
showed that he has class conscious
ness all right, even though he might
not be able to pronounce the name of

Walter Hilton, also spoke. Andy
Kissel acted efficiently as Interpreter
in Polish.
Horrible Conditions.
That conditions are horrible in the
Schenk boarding house is commended
by two men in sworn afidavits. They
were mislead into coming here, and
taken to the converted ''hotel' Of the
packhoues, and made the following
affidavit after their escape:
State of West Virginia, .
County Of Ohio, to-wit:
Personally appeared before the un-
dersigned authority, G. S. Merriot and
Walter Thomas, who first being duly
sworn, depose as follows:
Atlantis say that they were employ
ed by the Star Employment Agency
and Mr.. Albert M. Schenk to come to
the city of Wheeling to work for the
Schenk Packing plant, and that this
employment by them was secured
through Misrepresentation; that a
strike is existing between the Butch
ers' Union of the city of Wheeling
and the Schenk Packing plant. and
that in connection with this strike and
for the purpose of operating this plant
said concern, employing men through
the Star Agency, bring them to the
city of Wheeling and house tLcm and
board them at what Is known as the
old Schenk homestead on the premises
Of the said packing plant, in the town
of Fulton, Ohio county, West Va.
Atlantis say that they came to the
city of Wheeling on the 9th day OF
December 1915, living with other em-
ployees of the said Schenk Packing
plant at the homestead aforesaid, over
the night of December 9th, leaving
said place this day. Atlantis say that
the living conditions at said home
