Plan open Shop
For Up-RiveI Work

1t is believed that the intention OF
the Foundation Company, contractors
for the initial work for the American
Gas & Electric Company near Wells
burg, is to attempt to run the work
on the open shop" plan. This com
pany. by reason of the fact that so
much of its work is done by ,'unskillz
ed" labor, which is generally unorgan-
lied, believes itself able to keep from
dealing with any organization.
Efforts of unionists in this section
will be directed toward inducing the
concern to deal with organizations OF
workers, which is the only way the
workers have found to protect them
selves.

Extra Car Service

The City Railway Company has ar
ranged for more and better car ser
vice on their Mozart Park division,
during the morning and evening rush
hours, which will no doubt be appre-
ciated by the patrons living along this
line. The additional service will take
effect Monday, December goth, and
will consist of an additional car to
operate from Stop No. 10, or what is
known as Helsterns, at the foot OF
the hill, to 9Th Street, North Wheel
ing. This car will leave Stop No. 10
few minutes in advance Of the reg
ular car, for three trips in the early
morning, and will relieve the regular
Mozart Park car of a great number
of passengers who collect at the diff
ferent stops along the line at this
time.
In addition to the above, a one-halt
hour service will be maintained from
18th street, Wheeling, to Mozart Park
leaving on the hour and half hour
between the hours Of 800 and 7:O0

Few: Permits, But
Building is Good

Although there were few building
permits issued by the City Building
inspectors Office during last week,
building conditions are good. But four
building permits were secured from
the Office and yet practically all build
ing craftsmen are at work.
Particularly is this trus of the car
penters, for there is hardly an idle
man.
The explanation given is that while
little new work had been started in
the city limits, there is much incom-
pleted work in the city, and some new
work starting outside. Dull times are
looked for ahead when the present
work is completed, and the weather
conditions will not permit starting
new work, but that is expected by
building trades workers, to whom full
time is an unknown thing.

Schenk Brings Strikebreakers
REYMANN ASKS INJUNCTION

The Paul o. Reymann Company has
gotten into the Injunction game.
Taking some of he~money made by
the Reymann's in third of century
of selling beer to Wheeling working
men, they are hiring ]. B. Handlan
and other lawyers to prepare injunc-
lions against the very class whose
spending made the Reymanns rich.
On Wednesday an Injunction was
applied for by the Paul 0. Reymann
Company, along practically the same
lines as the Schenk injunction prev
iously applied for, except that this
one includes the Engineers and Fire
men. The hearing is set for Decem-
Der 20.
There is nothing frightening except
the legal verbiage about the injunc-
ton. 1t does not become an injunc-
ton until issued by the court, and if it
is amended as the court amended the
Schenk injunction, it will only re-
strain the men from violating the
law, and they are not doing that and
do not intend to-
One of the ideas back of the injunc-
ton proceedings, however, will be
accomplished. It will cost the strik-
ers lot Of money. They are COM
PEELED to go into the courts, employ
attorneys, secure affidavits, and pay
court costs. The millionaire packers,
having made their money from the
working people Of Wheeling, seem to
have planned to use some of it in COM
polling the workers. to give. up the
balance-and at the same time give
up their last defense against being
robbed of the rest of it. ~
So far, however, the only effect has
been to snake the men fight Aardsersss
and to Bring them in ever Increasing
volume, the support Of the public.

Building Trades Plan
For Business Agent

x The Building Trades Section Of
Wheeling and vicinity is planning for
a joint arrangement for business
agents. The idea being advocated by
some of the members actively is for
the placing of two business agents in
the field, to work directly for the sec
ton, and represent all locals affiliated.
At present there is but one bust
ness agent permanently employed by
any Wheeling organization, E. D.
Nickerson of the Carpenters. And
this is hardly for Wheeling organ
'ization, for it embraces the entire Car
penters' District Council, with nearly
700 members, although more than hall
the membership is in Wheeling. The
other organizations have business
agents elected, but who work only
when Gale dupon, their days OF ser
vice, of course, varying.
The Ohio side has business agent
John ]. Sheehan, who represents the
Stationary Engineers OF beAlon'
county. He, too, is permanently EN-,
ployed.
The plan is to have two business
agents for the council, or section ano
to defray the expenses by per capita
tax of Is cents per month per mem
Der. With approximately LOO mem
bers, it is believed that this would be
sufficient to pay the wages and ex
nenses and leave little treasury fol
general purposes. The idea seems te
/ be gaining favor steadily. particular
| " with the smaller locals, who know
the need of having business repre-
sentative who can be dalled on at any
time, but who cannot afford one per

WORLD CRISIS Is
NEAR SAYS WILSON
PRESIDENT ASKS HEARERS TO
PREPARE FOR THE TASK OF
MEDIATION.

New York.-President Wilson, ad-
dressing publishers from all parts of
the country at the annual luncheon of
the Associated Press at the Waldorf
Hotel, declared that the condition OF
the worlds affairs is coming to eli
max and that, although the times be-
hind the United States had been diff
cult, indeed, the times ahead are to be
more serious.
The test is coming for the United
States, as we'll as for the nations en-
gagged in war;" the president said.
Our whole duty" he added, lis
summed up in this motto. America
first"
Wilson proceeded to explain that
Americans should think of America
first in order that this nation may be
in a position to help both sides when
peace comes.
The president commented on the
fact that there have been attempts to
disturb the perfect neutrality of the
nation. He said that men had even
uttered ISLANDERS against the United
States to incite 1t to interfere
Men had even been saying that If
the United States went to war on
either side there would be a divided
nation, he said. He characterized this
as IAN abominable libel of ignorance"
That remark of the president, as
we're many others in the course of MS
brief address, was received with enthu-
siastic applause

HAPPINESS FOUND IN WORK.
Labor Also Is a Great Builder of Char
acter as Well as of
Fortune.

One day we happened along where
there was woodworking bee, says
the Breeders Gazette. Neighbors had
turned out to improve the highway
and to make safe some dangerous
stretches of much-traveled road.
Among he workers one was especially
notable for his energy and enthusiasts.
he worked as though he enjoyed it;
his heart was in the endeavor and he
shoveled earth, rolled rocks and laid
on gravel with cheerful enthusiasm.
Another man was a laggard, who
sat often watching the workers, offer
ing them advice more in raillery than
in a spiri of desire to aid Here is
What we were told:
See that man who works so hardo
ed thirty years ago with his two
hands, his head, an old gray mare and
fifty acres of poor land. Today he
owns numbers of farms, besides inter
est i'll all sorts of enterprises. He is
a good citizen, always public-spirited
and ready to help. That fellow sit
ting on the fence? Well, he has never
yet been on the township as public
burden, but that is the best l can say
of him. Work and he fell out many
a long day"
1t is not so hard to guess which
OF these two men spent that day the
happier hours, who spends year after
year the happier hours. Work builds
men as we'll as fortunes.
