when Raymer entered-and was not
in the least dust-blinded by the library
card in his hand.
You are just in time to help me-"
she told him. do you remember the
story of that daring bank robbery in
New Orleans few weeks ago?-the
one in which a man made the presi.
dent draw a check and get 1t cashed
for him?"
Raymer did remember it, chiefly be-
cause he had talked about 1t at the
time with Jasper Grierson, and had
wondered curiously how the president
Of the Farmers and Merchants would
deport himself under like conditions.
IF you should meet the man face to
face, would you recognize him from
the descriptions" she flashed up at
Raymer.
Not in thousand years." he con-
fessed. Would your"
mo; not from the description" she
admitted. Then she passed to a mat
ter apparently quite irrelevant.
Didn't / see Miss Farnham's re-
turn noticed in the Wahaskan the
other day."
With Charlottes father a daily visi-
tor at Mereside, it seemed incredible
that Miss Grierson had not heard of
the daughters Homecoming. But Ray
mer answered in good faith.
They came up as far as st. Louis on
one of the Anchor line-the Belle Ju-
leland even Miss Gilman admits
that the accommodations were excel
lent"
She nodded absently and began to
turn the leaves of the newspaper file.
Raymer took 1t as his dismissal and
went to the desk to get the orchid
book. When he looked in again on his
way to the street, Miss Grierson had
gone, leaving the file of the Pioneer
Press open on the reading desk. Al
most involuntarily he glanced at the
hrst-page headings, thrilling to a little
shock Of surprise when one of them
proved to be the caption of another
Associated Press dispatch giving a 20
line story Of the capture and second
escape OF the Bayou State Security
robber on the levee at St Louis.
The reading Of the bit of stale news
impressed him curiously. Why had
Miss Margery interested herself In the
details OF the New Orleans bank rob
berry? Why-with no apparent spe-
cial reason-should she have remem.
bered 1t at all--or, remembering 1t,
have known where to look for the
two newspaper references?
Raymer left the library specializing
vaguely on the unaccountable tan
gents at which the feminine mind
could now and then fly of from the
well-deflned circle of the convention
ally usual. On rare occasions his
mother or Gertrude did It. and he had
long since learned the folly of trying
to reduce the small problem to terms
of known quantities masculine.
Just the same, I'd like to know
why, this tlme." he said to himself,
as he crossed the street to the Manu-.
facturers' club. Miss Grierson isn't
at all the person to do things without
an object"

Wage Decision For
EngiineTnen And FireneIl

CHICAGO, I'LL, April -(SpeciaD
Unless there is unexpected change
of plans the arbitrator who are to
decide the controversy over the wages
and working conditions of the $4,000
western railway engineers, firemen
and hostlers will hand down an award
the latter part of this week. By an
agreement reached few weeks ago
the arbitration board made a new
stipulation whereby the time limit
was extended from April goth to
April Goth. The latter date falls on
netx Friday and it is the opinion of
the best observers of the situation
that the board probably will complete
it's award a day or two before that
date.
The arbitrators have been working
six days week the last few weeks,
including Saturday afternoons. Ap-
parently there has been a mass of
figures and details to consider with
respect to each of the sixteen articles
of the employers requests. No ward
has come from the board as to how
the battle is going. Not a scintilla of
information, authoritative information,
has been allowed to crop out and it is
surmised that the arbitrator will not
have reached an agreement upon all
of the articles until short time prior
to their public announcement.
The arbitration board has been in
session for nearly six weeks, includ-
ing fortnight during which general
survey of the situation was taken.
The arbitration hearings began Nov.
80, 1914, and if it ends April Goth, it
will have broken all records for move
ments of this sort. It is expected that
the various general chairmen of the
engineers and fremen's brotherhoods
will be present in the federal building,
Chicago, the day that the arbitrators
hand down the award. The keenest
interest in the outcome of the dispute
is being manifested and if the wages

At different times conferences were
held with the Cigar Makers to settle
disputes over jurisdiction. Seven
such conferences were held during
the career of the organization. Final
ly after years of struggle, advancing
the sale of their goods through the
advertising of the label and the or
ganization. of the industry, there came
a conference on Amalgamation; the
same being held at Cleveland, Ohio,
September 18th and 10Th, 1914.

At this conference an agreement
was prepared on Amalgamation and
the same was votetd on referendum

1915, by an overwhelming majority of
the votes of both organizations. Anal

number of members affected by the
amalgamaation was 1850 Stogie Max

membership of $4,000. The Stogie-

Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1915-04-29

The Stogie Makers of this Valley
have had a very strenuous career,
from as far back as the old days of
Knights of Labor. The spirit of trade
unionism has always been theirs and
SO deep rooted has it been that they
are one organization that has strug-
gled on when members of other crafts
would have faltered and failed.
In the best days of the old Knights
of Labor they were ever as alert as
they have been in late years.
Realizing that this organization was
of no avail to them they decided to
organize the stogiemakers of the
country into one solid organization,
which was done on December 18th,
1896, at the City of Pittsburgh, and to
be known as the National Stogie and
Cigar Makers League.
"a fight for recognition in the Ameri-
can Labor Movement was started at
once and was bet promptly by counter
attacks from the Cigar Makers, they
claiming the IStogie Makers dual Or
ganization. This condition continued
all through their career as an indie
pendent organization. All through
the fight made by them for recogni-
ton they had the support and back
ing of the Ohio Valley Trades and
Labor Assembly, who sacrificed their
connections with the Labor Movement
of the United States in order that
they might aid an organization of ad-
vanced trade unionists, which the
stogie Makers at all times proved
themselves to be.

In 1897, at Cleveland, Ohio, they
held conference with the Cigar Max
ers International Union of America,
and at that conference they agreed to

League. President w. H. Riley, who
served since the beginning of the or

in a very faithful manner; watching
it grow, and at all times ready to ad-
wise those who may become discour-

that become a common occurance in
the Labor movement. He, too, has
stepped down and out, and is now en-
ployed at the 18th street plant of the
Marsh Company.
Secretary Sonderman.
April 1st, 1905, F. w. Sonderman
was elected Secretary-Treas and
no one has served his organization
more faithfully that he. He was the
most efficient secretary possible.
When the day of amalgamation ar
rived, Fred had the affairs of the
organization in such shape that in
five hours the legal transfer of the
members, the property, and funds,s
was attended to.
Vice President Higgins.
Chas. Higgins, First Vice President,
was in service the last two years.
While making the change they
never lost local. The reports from:
outside locals are very encouraging.
At no time did they ever lack
friends in the local labor movement.
AS the old Assembly has supported
them through thick and thin, and, due
to this fact, the movement has pros
pered.

Trade Unions ever uncovered in the

produced when working independ-

May first International Labor Day
will be celebrated throughout the
United States by the many organiza-
lions of labor on a very elaborate
scale. But at no place will it carry
the same significance as the mass
meeting to be held by the miners of

ing will be of dual nature-to cele-
brate the regular International Labor
day, and to register a protest against
the inhuman war at present ravaging
Europe. The protest coming from the
miners of Ohio should attract the at
