VOTE SATURDAY

Saturday is the fateful day. 1t Will

Makers League will unite with the
Cigar. Makers International Union. or
insist on remaining a separate organ

Some locals have already voted, but
the big vote, of course, will be cast
by Garfield Local Of this city, with its
nearly 900 members AS goes Garfield
Local so goes the League.
L is conceded that the vote will be
in favor Of amalgamation. The only
point of difference now appears to be
as to the size of the majority.
Marietta and Pittsburgh have voted,
and Marietta voted practically unanim-
ously for amalgamation. Pittsburgh
had small majority in favor of ANAL
gamation, but this is striking in view
OF the fact that the amalgamation will

conditions. 1t was expected by many
that Pittsburgh would give. major

A conservative estimate seems to
be that the total against amalgama-

his CHRISTIANITY
| FALLEN DOWN /?

March II, 1918
The Wheeling Majority,
Rditor Free Speech:
bear Sir:-The Rev. G. M. Royce, a
pro minent rector, said of the Euro
pear war that if the pope, patriarch,
bishops churches and missionary Sc
cieties can not prevent this direful
carnage, that Christianity has fallen
down. And there is no question but
that Christianity of today is falling
down on every issue pertaining to life.
We need only take Wheeling as q
proof, but any city will furnish the
same evidence.
After nineteen hundred years OF
shouting and preaching and exhorting
we have the people in poverty, vice,
prohibition and misery. The chris
tians misrepresented the prohibition
question; they claimed it would
empty jails, give us more work, and
better living. We find the jail at
Wellsburg OVERLOOKING; also the one
at Charleston, and Wheeling is get

Prohibition is imaginary; the man

WAGE:
BRINGS

Crescent Lodge of the Amalgamated
Association, appears to be brought to
a crisis by the question of the propos
ed wage reduction. ANspecial meeting
Saturday will decide the proposition
as to whether the lodge agrees with
the plan to accept wage cut of ap
proximately IA per cent.
The Independent manufacturers
submitted the wage cut proposition to
the Amlagamated Association, con.
tending that the wage cut enforced
by the Steel Trust made it necessary
to readjust their wages in order to
continue competition :. Two confer
ences held in Pittsburgh have failed
to satisfy the membership, though the
last one voted by small majority to
agree to the reduction.
Crescent lodge is practically un-
animously opposed to the reduction,
and the members insist that now is
the time for the National Lodge to
make fight. Word comes from all
over the field that the employees OF
many mills are dissatisfied with con-
ditions and demand the privilege of
organizing, and the members believe
that the industry has chance to Or
ganize now that has not been present
ed for more than decade.
Whether the attitude of Crescent
lodge will be the attitude of the bal
ance of the membership in other cities
is yet to be learned. u
