KENDRICK W. C. T. U.

The regular meeting of the Ken
drick w. C. T. U. was held Tuesday
afternoon, Nov. 9th, at the church. In
the absence of the president, the vice
president, Mrs. W. B. Livingston,
opened the meeting by reading the
9th chapter of Matthew.
Song, Scatter Sunshine"
Prayer by Mr.. o. G. DIN.
The w. C. T. u and the Missionary
Society having united in holding a
week of prayer, services are being
held at the church each afternoon
this week, and hence the business
meeting was made very brief.
Mrs. George Chappell, evangelistic
superintendent, had charge of the re-
mainder of the services. AS a scrip
tural lesson she read the 18th chap
ter of John, the parable of the vine-
yard, followed by an excellent talk on
the work of her department.
Three excellent papers were then
read and commented upon as follows:
1. Caring for the Vineyard, by
Mrs. w. B. Livingston.
2. How Christ Organized for Per-
sonal Work, by Mrs. Clark
8. Eternal Issues, by Miss Julia
Webb.
The meeting was closed with a spe-
cial prayer and altar service.
The next meeting will be held on
Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 23rd, at the
home of Mrs. w. B. Livingston. A
cordial invitation is extended to all to
be present. Julia H. Webb,
Press Superintendent.

Thought for the Day

The man or woman without pur-
pose is never happy, matters not as
TO health or wealth. Some of the
most wonderful inventions have been
wrought by inyalids; some of the
most beautiful thoughts have bios
somed into deeds that sprung from
the hearts of those who were suffer
ing physical pain. Do not allow your
self to live without a purpose. Learn
your capabilities and make use of
them.-John G. Whittier.

All !. Ready !. For
Pol|ack Monument

There will be erected on the Cour
House square in a few weeks a gran
ite shaft 81 feet high with a solit
base l41sx16 feet, to perpetuate tn,
memory Of Labor's great friend ana
patron. Augustus Pollock.
Never in the history Of the indus
trial or trade union movement ha,
there been any man who could com
mand the respect and the love Of the
worker In a greater degree than did
Mr.. Pollock.
The erection of this monument en-.
tailed years Of labor. Mountains OF
d1he2ulties had to be met, and con.
quered as every cent coming to this
#fund came from Labor, and as it was
Labor's desire to complete this monu-
ment at their own expense, the task
was finally accomplished.
One of the committee in charge of
this work showed a rough sketch of
the monument to representative OF
the Majority, It is a round column
with ~ large flutes. The column
supports an eagle with wings cut.
spread, measuring from tip to tip Of
wings 8 feet. At the foot Of the
column and standing upon the base
are two figures, life size, with cIasped
hands, representing Labor united
Beneath the figures Of Labor is q half
rolled scroll which will contain La
boris unfinished tribute to Augustus
Pollock.
The committee in charge had some
difficulty selecting monument from
the number of designs presented, The
problem was solved by Architect Fred
Faris, when he combined the good
features Of all designs in the present
set OF drawings, giving the committee
what they were looking fora monu.

mittee, VIM. WEIGH, Mike Mahoney,
Harry Cochran, Henry Vessel, John
Menkemeyer, Louis Selvey, goes the
thanks of the labor movement for
their untiring efforts in completing
this task.
The final report of the committee
will be saddened by the death of Bro.
Selyey, who has been member since
the committee organized. Out of re-
spect for his past efforts and labors.
This committee will carry his name
on their roll until they are finally dis
charged.

MILL men HOLD MEETINGS Of
PROTEST AGAINST REDUCTION

| with. the mass meeting to be held
Sunday at the Market Auditorium,
open to all workers identified with the
mills Of the valley.
The object of this meeting win be
to settle finally as to whether the 10.
Gals in this valley will retain their
membership in the present organiza-
ton or reorganize on another basis.
Whether the object of those who
favor recession will be carried beyond
this meetingis matter of the future.
Those who favor continuing with
the old organization, say that even in
the event Of secession, the local char
Iters will be retained and that they will
be supported by all the other local or
CARNATIONS affiliated with the A.. F. of
L. They insist that secession has al
ways failed in the American Labor
movement, and that failure could only
be repeated in this case.

Young Mems
Labor Club

The idea of a young mems Labor
Club as proposed by the executive
hoard Of the Ohio Valley Trades and
Labor Assembly, has been the subject
of general discussion by the element
in fhe movement, who are expected to
carry to a successful conclusion all new
Innovations
Placing the club on a strictly bust
ness foundation with a set OF rules
properly enforced would mean the
success of the venture.
Wheeling has among its THOUSANDS
of workers many men who if placed
at the helm of this organization would
conduct themselves and the af1a1rs Oh
the club in such manner that the
Young men brought in contact WIN
them would benefit by their advice
and example.
The movement is gaining In favor
as the purpose q it is becoming more
generally understood.

Another feature Of the club brought
out was that a stranger in the city
could be entertained BY local unions
Of his craft2 at our labor club WINE
visiting in our city. The expense q
attending a venture of this. nature
would not be very high; reasonable
initiation fee and dues would sustain a
club Of this kind. In few weeks the
locals will have whipped it into shape
as it will be the subject of action by
them. The result Of their deliDera-

The reduction offered the. members
of the Amalgamated Association Of
Iron, Steel & Tin Workers and the
determined stand taken by them to
resist all efforts brought to bear upon
them from within the Association, has
brought about a peculiar situation in
the iron industry in the Ohio Valley.
By two referendums of the trade
they resented any change in the work
ing scale at the present. The mem
bers of their organization in the Ma
honing Valley being weak in spirit and
numbers as compared with the mem
bers in the Ohio Valley, voted in fav-
or the reduction on every occasion.
On the third or last referendum vote
the local here, Crescent, refused to
vote. The lodge in Martins Ferry
was as strong in opposition to the
wage cut as in the first place,

the third referendum was illegal
and forced upon the members by the

last referendum vote, but insisted up
on the presence of their national Off
GERS to explain the position assumed
by them since the, new scale was
presented. .

at the Assembly hall at 2 p. M, We'd
