Marietta Stogie Makers are on
strike in the liant Of the c. Hutchins
Cigar factory. Twenty seven men are
out in protest against . plan of the
management to foist non-union made
goods on the public as union articles.
President Riley and Secretary Treas
urer Sonderman spent several days in
Marietta endeaVoring to dissuade the
management from this attempt, but
Hutchins was deliberate in his scheme
to destroy the power of the men to
defend themselves by their Organiza--
ton, and In spite Of argument, open
shopped the plant.
President Perkins Immediately
wired instructions to the Marietta 10.
cal of Clear Makers to close the fac
tory to union Cigar Makers, and the
men Of that organization employed
there were at once called out.
Hutchins has made trips to Pitts
burgh, and his. idea seems to be to
induce girl workers to 80 from that
city as strike breakers, but so far he
has not been successful in this
attempt.

it to the House OF Representatives,

Eastern Ohio Coal Strike Continues; Men
Are Determined To Win Just Demands

Regardless Of all the pressure
brought to bear to beat the miners of
Eastern Ohio In their fight for a ~
cent mine-run basis, the men are gal.
lantly holding together; and they are
determined to stick until Just victory
awards them.
The recent conference Of miners re-
personalities, operators and the two
federal conciliators held in Cleveland
seemed to avail nothing; for the only
proposition submitted to the miners
was one that they were in duty bound
to reject.
Throughout the State of Ohio. ok.
cepting the Eastern district, the AZ
cent run-of-mine rate is being paid:
and the Eastern Ohio miners are in
duty bound not to go to work for
anything less They have given their
word and they are making 1t good.
II they haven't got enough to eat they
do have honor.
Many people are wondering just
why the Eastern Ohio operators re-
fuse to pay the men.47 cents when
other operators are paying 1t and max
ing money. Surely II is not because
Of shipping facilities, for Eastern Ohio
has possibly as good, If not better,
shipping, facilities than other parts
of the State.

For instance, no sheets are accepted

are no "foot notes." these means by
which the men in organized mills are

The newspaper accounts OF aaWage
reduction Of from to IL per cent
being accepted by the Amalgamated
Association are untrue. They are de
liberately given currency in the hope
of influencing public opinion and i'm
pressing the men themselves with the
hopelessness of sesisting.
The conference of the special COM
mittee members with committee
from the union manufacturers decid-
ed upon a proposition to be submitted
to the men. The fact that the propo-
sition 1t to be. submitted does not
mean that the representatives accept
ed it.. The business Of the Amalga-
mated Association Of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers is transacted by tle in
.itiatiye and referendum. and the men
must vote on this. ~,
There are two propositions, one af-
fecting the sheet men and the other
affecting the tin men, the degree of
offered reduction differing. The men
will vote separately, each on their
own matter. -
The sentiment Of the men seems to
be against the reduction. 1t should be
explained that the scale of the Anal
gamated Association with the manu-
facturers runs until next July, and no
reduction can be forced under the
scale but the action of the Steel
Trust in arbitrarily reducing wages,
and selling their product in competi-
ton with the Independents led the
later to ask the Amalgamated to per-
NIT revision of the scale.
1t seems to mean one of two things:
either the union men must accept a
cut or the non-union men must pre-
vent the continuance Of their own cut.
The indications are that this latter
event will happen, as they are dis
satisfied and there appears to be a
sentiment for organized resistance
among them.
