Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1915-04-29

During the absence of President
Hugigns, who was attending meet
ing of the Electrical Workers, Vice
President Greer opened the Assembly
which proved to be one of the most
business like affairs held for some
time. The old war horse from the
Molders, J. A. Stenger, was obligated
and older delegates were glad to see
him return. ]. T. May, Of Local 1866,
Emitted Mine Workers, was also obli-
gated. This local took action against
one of Elm Groves business men that
no doubt was merited, but did not
comply with the regular rule and was
referred back to them.
The Architectural Iron Wire Com
pany was reported unfair to the
Structural Iron men! Locke Shoe
Company, United Cigar Stores, Satur-
day Evening Post, Ladies Home Jour-
nal, Country Gentleman, were report
ed unfair to Labor.
Traction Company.
Report of joint committee on Trac-
ton trouble brought out the fact that
progress was being made. It was re-
ported that the Wheeling Electric Co.
had signed the scale of the Electrical
Workers at 1880 Saturday evening.
This report that President Higgins,
representing the Organization Com.
mittee of the Assembly, should work
in conjunction with Business Agent
Nickerson, of the Carpenters, and
Representatives Moley and Lynn, 81
the Electrical Workers was correct,
expenses incurred to be met. by the
Locals involved.
LaBelle Lodge.
The announcement was made that
the delegates of the LaBelle lodge OF
the Amalgamated Association had
severed their connections with the
Assembly when they returned their
charter to Ama1gamated headquarters
and Joined the dual organization of
iron workers. Their names were re-
moved from the roll.
The Union Label.
While it was proven that the union
man Of Wheeling is not as particular
as he should be when buying articles
that carry the label, it was also made
clear that movement was on to
boost the union label, as the following
delegates stated they were elected to

/, ment. Seconded by Hines. Delegate
LaFlam took exception to the motion,
claiming that the power vested in
this Assembly, backed by Tri City
charter was sufficient in itself to
cause an Amalgamation of those or
CARNATIONS with the Ohio Valley AS
sembly. He finished by quoting Presi
dent Gompers, when he said the juris.
diction would be ours. Delegate Hill
ton took exception to a policy of this
Kind and in a few remarks showed
that internal peace in the local labor
movement was of more value than the
weight Of power, even though that
power was backed by a charter cover
ing the entire valley, and no man
could be forced to do that which was
distasteful to him. The dove of peace
had wonderful influence over the
following delegates who spoke along
the same lines as Hilton: Armstrong,
SOnderman, Bartlebaugh, Greer, Leon
ard, Wilson, Hines, Ebberts, and the
venerable Thomas Salisbury. made a
few remarks as interesting as any
made. The motion carried, and the
following committee was appointed:
Bartlebaugh Street Railway Men;
Ebberts, Bottle Blowers; Calvert,
Structural Iron Men. A motion by
Vessel that the committee await the
receipt Of the charter was promptly
smothered by the chair, ruling it out
of order.
Hosting Engineers.
Delegate Lenkard reported that
charter had been applied for in order
that the Hosting Engineers of the
Valley could organize.
Hospital case.
The trustees reported that the two
brothers being cared for at the Ohio
Valley General Hospital were now
legally state charges but could not be
removed, as The state had no funds
TO rthat purpose. 1t was puzzling to
the delegates how the state can spend
so much money prosecuting bootleg
gers and could not afford to meet the
expenses of men committed to. the
different institutions.
Endorse Labor Club.
Carpenters No. 8, Moulders Of this
city, and Miners 1866 of Elm Grove,
reported having endorsed the Labor
Club.

BRYAN HAD ONLY TO "SIGN HERE"

When the first Lusitania note went
to Berlin all of the Wilson news
sources in Washington impressed on
the newspaper representatives that
all that Bryan had to do with 1t was
to take up his pen and "sign here"
when the line was indicated to him
by his chief. 1t was emphasized. and
re emphasized, that the note was tho
entire handiwork of President Will
son, with the exception that the legal
details were attended to by Counselor
Lansing.
1t Is no longer only rumored that
Secretary Bryan resented these sug-
gestions. Then, as up to the final
break, he was advocating modera-
tion. He wanted the arbitration sug-
gestion. included. his friends say. And.

penning her reply she would realize
that the United States had played no

Whether any of the then Secretary's
resentment was made plain to the

matter of fact that simultaneous with
the preparation OF the rejotnder;

same sources which had told or the
midnight work OF the President. alone

country, now busted themselves with
explaining that on this new note the
President and his Secretary Of State
were working together.
This was discredited in some circles,
the general opinion being that the
President prepared the original mem
orandum, from which the present
note was finally framed. and Bryan
