JOS. HEINTZMAN
Professional Lobbyist for Public
Utilities at Columbus, and Who
Heartily Hates Organized Labor,
Had Himself Interviewed the
Other Day i'm New York.

MIR. Jos. Heintzman, during his visit
to New York, said: "The labor diff
culties involving the transportation IA
cilities of the country furnish much
food for thought While the public at
large is eager to see a cessation of legis-
lativeA tnkering, there is little question
but that the enactment of law which
would insure uninterrupted traffic would
be welcome. Congress, for the nation,
and the Legislatures for the various
States, should invest the present public
utility regulatory tribunals with author
ity to punish any organization which as
such calls strike or induces the oper-
ators of the public utility to cease their
employment On the other hand, the
locking out of employees by employers
of such utility should constitute an Of
Tense Public utility corporations are
chartered to discharge public function.
This should not be hampered by any
labor agitator or depressing employer.
Rates for service are usually fixed by
legal authority for a term Of years.
When established the wages of the men,
as we'll as all other operating expense,
together with the possible revenue to be
earned during the period, is taken into
consideration. If, during the period fix
ed, greater wage scale is granted the
return to the company is diminished.
The question of hours is of great i'm
portance In Ohio, recently, one of the
candidates for reelection on the State
ticket declared in favor of an eight
hour day for trainmen, stating that a
longer period was dangerous to health
and conducive to accident. The official
entirely ignored the fact that the rail-
road employees are willing to work more
than eight hours provided time and a
half is paid for such overtime. Is it
possible that extra compensation is an
incentive to continued good health and
insurance against accident?"

EAGER FOR UNIONIZING
OF THEIR EMPLOYEES
This Was the Attitude of Moving
Van EmplOyers-Say They Will
Thereby Get Better Glass of Men
Unexpected Situation Develop
ed at Organization Meeting.

-. international Organizer Hughes of the
eamsterS' Union experienced what
Cartoonist Webster might well picture
as "the thrill of lifetime" 1t was moth
ing less than an association of bosses
eager tor the unionization of their en-
ployes. The bosses are the members of
the Moving Van Owners Association
and all details of the new union, Local
No. 14O of furniture and piano movers,
express and helpers, were about COM
pleted Tuesday. The new union has
nearly 300 members. Wages will be in
creased. Coincidentally, the cost of NOV
ing is to increase, prominent moving
van owner said last Tuesday. The pres
ent price averages about 81 an hour, re-
gardless of hauling distance or number
of stair flights, he said. Moving in Gin
cinnati he asserted, costs less than in
any other city in the United States.
81 he result is" he added that what
little profit we have is so slim as to be
ridiculous. 1t is possible that we soon
will adopt the Detroit or the Chicago
scale. In the former city the price is
$4 a load from first to first That
means first floor to first floor Fifty
cents is charged for each additional
flight and so cents for each additional
mile The time basis is used in Chicago
The price is So an hour. OF the two
scales the Detroit scale, believe, is in
greater favor with our association By
unionizing our men and increasing their
wages, we will get better class of en-
ployes. We had meeting with them
and helped them organize. We soon will
have another meeting with them to for
mulate a wage scale. The furniture
moving business is what could be called
seasonable. 1T has its ups and downs
not meaning stairways. | mean it has
busy days and idle days. In season the
workers average $l2 or $l3 week
Taking the entire year l. don't believe
they average 50 week Moving pianos
and furniture is no joyous task, believe
me, and | am glad the conditions are tc
be bettered."
The magnanimous boss said that about
IS firms are engaged in piano and furni.
ture moving in Cincinnati, and the city
has about 200 vans and trucks. About
20 per cent of the bosses, he said, are
members of the association.

Fires the First Shot to Save the Work,ens Conpensa-
tion Act-Strong Protest Against Firemen, Policemen
and Workhouse Prisoners Doing Work That
Should Go To Contractors Who Pay Taxes.
Friedlander Having Failed Stop 1t, Committee Will
Call the Mayor.

Representatives of the Painters Un-
ion complained against the prisoners at
the Workhouse painting that structure
at the meeting of the Central Labor
Council Tuesday night. Delegates from
a number of other unions also filed pro-
tests against the police and fremen per-
forming labor not in conformity with
their duties, according to the civil serv-
ice laws of the State of Ohio. Following
the receipt of these complaints Presi-
dent Thomas Mugavin appointed COM
mittee of three, consisting of President
Mugavin, Paul Denny and William
Prout, to take up the matter with Mayor
Puchta.
The Labor Day Committee reported
that it will have the same line of march
for Labor Day as last year. The ma
chinists expect to have $500 men in the
parade and will head the procession.
The line of march of the parade is as
follows: Formation at Findlay and
Race, south to Thirteenth and Race,
east on Thirteenth to Main, south on
Main to Fifth, west on Fifth to Walnut,
south on Walnut to Fourth, west on
Fourth to Plum, north on Plum to
Ninth, east on Ninth to Walnut, north

ALL "WHITE WINGS" ARE OUT
Pittsburgh Streets Have Not Been
Cleaned Because of Strike.

Pittsburg.-Reports to Mayor Joseph
c. Armstrong indicated that every man
in the Street and Park Cleaning Bureau
had joined the strike inaugurated by
their leaders early in the week to en-
force demand for an increase in wages
of 5 cents an hour, bringing the number
of strikers to LOO.
Not street or park has been cleaned
since Wednesday, and in some sections
conditions are rapidly taking on Sc
rous aspect. In the Hazelwood district
where there are five cases of infantlle
paralysis, appeals OF the health authorl-
ties for volunteer water-wagon drivers
to flush the streets and prevent spread
of the epidemic, has met with no re-
sponse from the strikers.
No money will be available for higher
wages in this department until next year
and city officials said that if the men
did not return to work tomorrow others
would be employed to take their places.

There were only two candidates for
delegate to the Ohio Federation of La
Dor Convention at Toledo, o., October
8, as President Thomas Mugavin, who
was one of the three nominees at the
last meeting, declined to make the race.
The other candidates were August Mol
and William G. Scott. August Moll was
elected. He represents the Machinists'

The Garment Workers Union dele
gate reported that a hundred applicants
to the union had been elected to mem
bership within the past two weeks.
President Mugavin reported that three
concerns in this city are unfair to the
Paper Hangers Union. The Council re-
ceived a number of petitions to be cir
culated for the purpose of securing sig
natures from the Ohio State Federation
of Labor, which organization intends to
INTRODUCE bill at the next meeting of
the Ohio Legislature, and if it becomes
law it will prevent liability insurance
companies from writing workmen's COM
pensation insurance in Ohio.

ANTS VOCABULARY ENLARGED

New York.-ln a newspaper advertis-
ing campaign last week press agents en-
ployed by the street car companies,
whose employees were on strike, made
several contributions to the vocabulary
of anti-unonists.
While the "happy family" term is
somewhat ancient, it was used to create
the impression that workers are delight
ed with low wages. The latest contribu
tons, however, are found in statements
signed by President Shonts Of the New
York Railways company and President
Williams of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
system. The former denounced the
street car mems union as IAN alien or
ganization," and the Brooklyn official de-
clared that if the men unionize there
will be nothing "but a barrier of sus-
picion and the cold atmosphere of bar
gain" between them and the manage
ment. ..fU

St. Augustine, Fla = Vice President
Beckwith of the Florida East Coast
Railway Company has issued an appeal
to all employees to support the company
in the event that engineers, conductors,
tiremen and trainmen suspend work to
enforce their eight-hour demand. To
prove the "unreasonableness of this de-
mand he cites the wages of these en-
ployes and then states that the average
day wage "of all other employees" ex-
cepting general office clerks, is $1.63.
He closes his appeal to these low-wage
workers as follows: "If the emergency
arises there will be call for volunteers.
Will you serve as volunteer, and in
what capacity? Please advise"

the only way to pay them is to get a
winning club. The Giants always
will draw some people because there
is so large a. floating population in
New York all the time. The mere
amusement-seekers who have no par
ticular love for either the home club
or the visitors will furnish enough
attendance to guarantee the salaries
of the ticket-seIlers and the ground
Keeper. But in order to fill up the
park on Saturday afternoons and holt
days, the club must occupy a position
in the race that e1icits the enthusiasm
of the real New Workers.
Knowing full well that a second
division team means small dividends,
Mr.. Hampstead isn't going to let a
little matter like $4,000 stand in
his way. He can afford to gamble
THAT much, for if Kauf turns out to
be a star, he will, get the money back
very fast and if Benny is a bloomer,
the price paid for him may be charg-
ed up to profit and loss.
There are two chances to realize
ON Kauff. Even if he fails to be of
particular value to the club in win
short, career as a drawing card Of the
freak class. He has been thor
oughly advertised and the fans GER
tainly will want to go out and look
him, over once or twice.
If he falls down some of the folks
will keep on going to the park as
long as he stays in the lineup for the
pleasure of Kidding and riding
him, such being the nature of some
of the Supporters of our national
mania.

Great Britain Will Push

Minister Says.

Paris, Jan. 29-The Paris newspa-

| the interview yesterday of David
Lloyd George, minister of munitions,
with the London correspondent of the
Milan Secolo, in which the minister
was quoted as saying that the allies
are only just beginning and that they
are gaining now while Germany is
weakening.
1--WE have at present 100000 men
| under arms" said Mr.. Lloyd George,
| according to the interviewer, 'sand by
spring we shall have four millions of
soldiers solid, fit and well equipped.
This is a. democratic war. If it
was not I should have nothing to do
with it. I was opposed to the last
war that England engaged in, but in
the present war the future of democ-
racy in the whole world is involved
It is a final struggle between mill
tary autocracy and political liberty
a hideous conflict but one wherein we
shall be victorious, of that I am GER
tain. The central empires have lost
their chance of victory and they
know it. Great Britain is united for
this war to such point that, if there
were a general election, not a single
anti-war member would be elected.

tinued, Sin continuing with compu1-
sion. No fewer that six million men
came forward to enlist Some of
tn EN- were unfit for service others
were acquired for the munitions fac
tories, for the railroads and for the
mines. About $4,000 are affecting
by the compulsory service policy but
this number is diminishing through
delay attestatio ns.''
s:Do not be under any nisapprehen-
sion.'' Mr.. Lloyd George is further
Quoted as saying ttGreat Britain is
determined to push the war to the
end. We may make mistake but we
never give in. 1t was British stub
bornness which overthrow Napoleon
after 20 years of war. Our allies
then fell away one by one and Eng
land alone held on! This time our
allies are as staunch and reso1ute as
we are
