ONE-CENT PHONE RATE
PROPOSED BY CITIZENS
Southeast Association Votes for Res
olution Favoring Wider Use by
People Of City.

A. r. Connor, chairman of the COM
mittee on public utilities Of Southeast
Washington Citizens Association. at a
meeting OF that body last night in
Donohoe's Hall presented a resolution
urging reduction in the telephone
rates in this city. His resolution pro-
vided that the telephone utility should
be placed on a basis similar to that OF
other utilities; that minimum rate
be fixed, a recording instrument in
stalled. and that the charge for local
messages be fixed at cent a call.
Next to the water service" said Mr.
Connor, Il believe the telephone utility
is the most important"
Claims PROFIT in Reduction.
He argued that the cheapening OF the
rate would mean a goat increase in
business of all kinds and be a great
protection to families in cases OF f,re.
sickness and accidents. A reduction in
the rate. he urged. would mean an tn
crease in the volume of business that
would pay the telephone company.
The resolution was adopted.
Considerable interest was shown in
the Potomac deepened to thirty feet
Capt. William Luckett. who is familiar
with the entire navigable course OF the
Potomac. is heartily in favor of the
movement. II was suggested that he
present the proposition to the Fedora
uon OF Citizens Associations, but for
personal reasons he said he thought
Allan Davis would be better qualined
to make the presentation.
Capt. Luckett reported that work or
obs nAI ss ef,,..
satisfactorily. He said he thought II
would be completed by the end OF the
year.
President A. @. Hermann. Secretary J.
W. Lucas. Allan Davis and William Gull
leen displayed an interest in the estab-
lishment Of a vocational school in the
southeast section. II was stated that
ground for such school was purchased
Iong ago. but that Congress has made
no appropriation for the construction of q

cessful close at Atlantic City, on Mon
day night. The conference was mark
ed by complete harmony and agree
ments were reached on all matters
The new agreement provides for a
substantial increase in wages for all
workers in the sheet and tin depart
ments. Also, several Objectionable
features of the old scale were elimin-
ated and working conditions in gen.
eral will be greatly improved. Many
of the mill representatives signed the
scale at the close Of the conference, al
though the majority of them will wait
until the new scale is printed before
signing up. The fact that a confer
ference agreement was reached will
insure the signing of the new scale by
all mill owners. The wage increase
will amount to a naverage of at least
1919 on the base rate, with other in
creases followin gthe so day periods of
prices.
Local men who were in attendance
at the conference, returned nome
Tuesday, including Louis Leonard,
Walter Larkfns, Arthur Watkins and
Jenkin Jones.
Bar Iron Conference.
On Tuesday the bar iron department
of the Amalgamated Association went
into conference with the mill repre-
sentatives. AS there are no such
mills in this vicinity, there are no
local delegates attending this confer
ence. Most bar iron mills are located
in the western states. It is expected
that the conference will reach an
agreement during the present week, or
the first Of next week.

LARGEST NUMBER OF WITNESSES EVER SUMMONED ON ONE CASE BELMONT COUNTY
Trial Of Willard Baker for Contempt
I Proves Public Sentiment Regard
ing .Shadyside Casket Works
Strike.

With over one hundred witnesses on
| hand to testify in behalhof the defend
ant, the trial of Willard Baker for
contempt Of court, for alleged viola
ton of the injunction granted to the
Belmont Casket Manufacturing Co., Of
Shadyside, was started before Judge
Lynch at st. Clairsville last Thurs
day This is said to be the largest
number Of witnesses ever summoned
in any similar case in the history Of
Belmont county, and this well reflects
public sentiment regarding the strike
at the Shadyside casket works. Most
of the witnesses were on hand to tese
tify on behalf of Mr.. Baker. The
crowd of witnesses were made up Of
men and women, most of whom are
workers Of crafts other than the cas-
ket workers, such as miners and
others, who are in sympathy with the
cause of the striking casket workers.
The trial lasted until Saturday when
the defendant was found not guilty of
contempt by having taken part in a
parade in the village of Shadyside on
June LIST, 1861 but guilty of having
bleated like a sheep at the non-union
workers Of the casket works, indicat-
ing, as is generally known, that they
were "black sheep" This act was
held to be in violation of the injunc-
ton. Mr.. Baker was fined twenty-five
dollars and costs, and to give a bond
Of 5000, conditioned that in the future
he will obey the injunction. sIhe
cost in the case run nearly thousand
dollars. An appeal has been taken
and the case is being watched with
considerable interest.
Strikers Standing Firm.
The strike at the Shadyside Casket
works continues with undated energy:
The men and women are standing
quite firm in their fight for recogni-
ton of their union and it is predicted
that they will eventually win out. The
threat of the Belmont Casket Mfg. Co.
to move their plant to Columbus is
not given much credence by the
workers, who have the undivided sup
port of working people generally
throughout the valley. 1t is thought
by many that the Belmont Casket Mfg.
Co. could operate to better advantage,
turn out a better grade of work at
less cost and do better generally with
their workers organized. The organ
ization of the workers will do the
company no harm, but may do consid-
cradle good for them as well as the
workers.
