nalT IOr overtime tnat the Otner
shops granted to their men. We
are merely inserting this editorial
to have the machinists In the Long
& Allstatter Co., read and then to
understand who really brought i'm
proved conditions in that shop.
You will remember that somewhere
in the neighborheod of six or seven
months ago organizers were sent
into Hamilton by request OF Ham
ilton Lodge, No. 241, International
Association of Machinist. These
organizers who are paid by the In
ternational through all local lodges,
proceeded to organize the machin-
lists in this city which they did very
satisfo ctorily. The werk of organ
izing went on FOR nearly four
months and all this time the men
were gradually coming into the or
ganization will full knowledge that
they were going to ask the manu-
facturers especially those who are
making war material for an eight
hour day with time and one half
for overtime.
In the month of October the ma
chiniSts in the pant of the Hooven
Owen & Rentschler company went
on strike and Immediately following
that strike the other machine shops
followed suit until about 1860 ma
chinists were out. Some of these
men who went out with the men
who. belonged TO the Machinists
Union soon became disgruntled and
a mere hand full were persuaded to
go back to work. This was sup.
posed to be the big weapon of the
Niles plant to break the strike.
NJ n bers of notices were posted in
the stuck shops that they were go
ing to open on certain date but
all ,tices and scheming did not
breaK the ranks of the union ma
chinists who were on strike. AS
you will also remember the strike
lasted three months, 1t was a. hard
fight that these loyal trades union
lists put up, yes, one that they can
lie proud of for the balance of their
days. Their sacrifices were many
and their income was small but
they knew they were fighting for
a principal, a principal that would
bring them shorter hours and in
time a little more income. Siuce
the settling of the machinists'
strike the uniJn machinists have
returned TO work under conditions
never before enjoyed by them in
the history G the iron industry of
this city. Not only did they bring
better conditions for themselves
but for you machinsts who are at
the present time working in the
plant of the Long & Allstatter Co.
It was they who fought this indus
trial battle which resulted in pros-
pelity being spread into every ma
chinists home in this locality. Had
the union maChinists never demand
ed of the other factories the condi-
tions which they are now working
under, YOU, Long & Allstatter
machinists would never have even
been considered with a promise.
Well it is all over now and every
BODY is working and we hope con-
tented, but how are you fellows in
the Long & Allstatter plant going
to repay the members OF the Ma
chinists' Union for getting you the
improved conditions under which
you are now working Are you
going TO ignore them en.irely {
Are you going to assist them In
retaining that which they have Sc
cured for you? You know that
