Two things have helped to bring such near-unanlmty
the spread of understanding Of the proposition among inc
members and the changing conditions in the trade For
one thing the Stoge Makers are learning that Spit cra
cannot control conditions, and that internecne conflicts
are as inevitable and unavoidable they are damaging 20
ali the workers This itself is enough to convince Stoge
Makers that they must get in under the protecting fold OF
solidarity.
And there is another thing: Time was when the label
of the National Soge Makers League was the only union
label appearing stogies anywhere League represen
tatives always used that argument the peroatlon OF
their appeals to other unions It will be true no longer

Work on the new Rex theatre just |
north of the Majority building is going. |
along in fine shape and the work of |
erecting the interior of the new struc-
ture will be started within short |
time.
The Jitney Transportation com
pany is the newest organization to be
chartered in the state. The company
will operate line of auto buses from
the city to the towns out the pike.
Another company Of the same kind
is the Suburban Auto Bus company,
which will soon operate out the pike.
The county road engineer will
within the near future start the i'm
provement work. to the roads of the
out-the-pike district. A great deal of
work will be done on the roads to the
rural district during the spring and
summer
The Wheeling Motorcycle club now
has membership of over fifty Of the
best young men of the city The club |
organized for the bringing of the
boys who ride motorcycles closer to

The streets of the city are in bad
,ndition and a great deal of work will
)e done in that respect during the
summer months. Many of the streets
will need to be re-paved providing
hat the appropriation will ALLOW such
rpairs to be made. Sixteenth street is
noe of the streets of the city that is
in deplorable condition.
The dealers in farm and garden
seeds claim that they2 are doing a
big business already and are of the

Electric company is making extensive
improvements to their lines out the
pike The company is placing new
+oles and also many new ties along
their entire line. The extra cars in

dispense with the work on the road
between the city and the out-the-pike
resort.
Wheeling is to be represented in
the Central League again this season.
Games will be played either on the
Island ball ground or at Martins Fer

operations Tuesday after a shut down
lasting about three weeks. The men
do not expect to get in mere than half |
time for few more weeks; although
an official of the. COMPANY is said to |
have stated that this year, as a whole,
will be very good one for the pot
teries.
