GLASS WORKERS WIN STRIKE.

Philadelphia Voll of the
Glass Bottle Blowers Association re-
ports that after four weeks strike
the Minotala Glass Company of Mino
tola, N. J., has entered into an agree
ment with our association whereby that
company will abide by the conference
agreement as entered into between the
manufacturers association and our
Selves, and will, therefore, come under
the jurisdiction of the Glass Bottle
Blowers Association"
The glass workers spent over 100000
during the past Is years in an effort to
unionize this plant. One of the most
drastic injunctions ever issued was or
dered by Chancellor Pitney of the high
court Of New Jersey, who was after
wards appointed to the United States
Supreme Court by President Taft. The
glass workers endeavored to have the
senate reject the appointment, which
was held UP for several days
President Voll says that the union
izing of this factory is what may be
termed an extraordinary vindication of
the policy of the association in dealing
with non -unionsm-a policy that has
proven successful since written into law
in 1905, and with which the associations
officers are in hearty accord"

MINERS LOYAL TO UNION.

McAlester, Okla Because certain
coal trade journals have insisted that
organized miners in Oklahoma and
Arkansas are threatening to start a
movement dual to the United Mine
Workers, committee representing the
latter organization, after visiting every
large mining center in this district, re-
cords its emphatic denial of any such
proposal.
"lt is Obvious" the committee says,
'to any one in touch with the situation
down here that these statements are
only published to cause the very thing
complained of, and the wish of those
behind these stories is only father to
the thought.
"The miners of the southwest realize
that the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica have done more for them and theii
families than any other institution ii
the country. The organization was never
in a more prosperous condition and tho
men are ever willing to contribute thell
full share to the success of the union

named unfair retail meat dealers are do
ing everything in their power to put
this organization out of existence, espe-
cially George Schlchte, who is the coun-
Gilman from the Sixteenth Ward; he
is the main agitator against our organi-
zation and we feel that it is shame. 1t
is not big corporation that we are
fighting, but number of small retail
meat dealers. Organized labor should
not let them put union local out of ex-
istence. The meat cutters are very glad
to be organized and desire to better
their conditions the same as other labor
ing men, so it is up to you to get busy
and patronize union meat markets only
Our business agent, Mike Schuld
will do his duty by us. If given good
support, the meat cutters in the near
future will not have to labor from Sc
to so hours per week, but will be con-
sidered as human beings and will have
the opportunity to enjoy few hours
with their families, as other workers
enjoy
Thanking you for any and all support
that you can give us,
Respectfully yours,

Gonpers Demands Free Press
Asks All Unions Immediately Protest Against the
Increase In Postal Rates and the Proposed
"Zone System"
To an Organized Labor:

To Al Organized Labor:
GREETINGS Since our nation has be-
come involved actively in the gigantic
struggle for the worlds democracy, new
tests and problems must be met and
solved. What has made our progress so
notable in the past has been the indomi
table spirit, thrift and sense of sacrifice
of the men and women of labor for the
ultimate greatness of the American La
Dor Movement.
Underlying all of our achievements
has been the unrestricted right to free
press, unhampered by unwarranted re-
strictions and not unduly burdened by
excessive taxation in any form. The
American Federation of Labor has al
ways protested against unwarranted re-
| strictions upon a free press, and will
Judge in our land will fully observe this
great fundamental right and guarantee
of liberty of free people.
Within the past few days a new men
ace has presented itself to the free press
of our country in the legislative pro-
posal to tax unduly printed matter COM
ing under the rules of second-class post
age. Under glliSe of war revenue meas
ure, it is not only proposed to increase
the postage rate of second-class matter
from one to two cents a pound, but it
is also intended to apply Zone Sys-
TEN" district rates., thereby practically
increasing the cost of carrying printed
matter from one cent per pound to SIX
cents per pound No such exorbitant
rate as this exists for any class OF mat
ter for the longest worlds routes even
in war times. Such a tax is strictly pro-
hibitive. 1t spells disaster and ruin to
the labor press of our country and will
seriously hamper and retard that part
Of the public press sympathetic to the
appeals and needs of the labor move
ment. This proposed increase of postage
rates on second-class mail matter car
only benefit those publications supported
and financed by and in the interest OF
large and gigantic combinations o.
wealth, and it will destroy those publ
cations barely eking out an existence
because of their desire and determination
The labor advocate. [volume] (Cincinnati, Ohio) 1912-1937, 1917-05-19

to serve the great mass of our people,
working men and women of our coun-
try.
The public press, like every other in
dividual, concern or institution, should
be required to pay its just proportion of
war taxes. This, however, should be
done by increasing the income and in
heritance taxes, tax upon profits and
upon land values.
To place double and triple tax upon
the public press is without warrant and
excuse, and simply means that many
publications will be forced out of ex-
istence. Such = condition will seriously
menace the conditions of life and work
of the men and women employed in the
printing and closely related and kindred
trades by throwing thousands of them
out of employment Shall we sit idly
by while the very livelihood of thou
sands of our fellow-workers is placed
in jeopardy, and while the labor and
sympathetic public press is seriously
menaced? Can we afford to permit that
part of the public press financed by and
in the interest of large and wealthy
combinations of men to control exclu-
sively the means of information and
Va
pie of our country?
Profits and incomes should be taxed,
but the very source Of employment OF
our fclow-workers and the maintenance
of liberal and free press should re-
main unimpaired.
An Immediate protest against this pro-
posed increase in postage rates on sec
ond-class matter and against the appli-
cation of the Zone System" should be
Immediately directed to every Congress
man and Senator. Every central labor
union, State federation of labor, and all
affiliated unions should Immediately
voice their protest against this menacine
proposal. Action to be effective must
be had at once Respond to this appea
without delay. Act now!
Fraternally yours,
SAMUEL GoMPERs,
President, American Federation
of Labor.

STANDARDS OF LIVING
MUST BE MAINTAINED

Washington-Go contractors
must not exploit workers or destroy
their living standards under the plea of
war necessity, is the essence of resolu-
tions adopted at meeting of the execu-
tive council of the metal trades depart
ment, A. +. of L., and the presidents of
affiliated organizations.
The resolutions state:
"We call upon the regularly author
lied authorities of the government to
provide a clause in all contracts let by
the government guaranteeing Just
standard of working and living condi-
tions and that no contracts be let to any
firm or corporation whose plants do not
operate under such conditions.
1--WE jointly agree that there will be
no cessation of work in any government
plant in the United States during the
period of the conflict, provided a plan
is adopted whereby all grievances of
employees of any government plant or
private plant doing government work
may be taken up for adjustment within
reasonable time. Failure to reach an
adjustment by the employe and en-
ploycs, the matter in dispute shall be re-
ferrcd to the council of national defense
and the officers Of the metal trades de-
partment of the A. +. of l.. for final
adjustment
Civilian representatives of the war
and navy departments be appointed to
act in conjunction with the United
States civil service commission and the
officers of the metal trades department
of the A. +. of L. for the purpose of
providing the labor necessary to Sue
cessfully operate the navy yards, naval

meat dealers are not located in one sec
ton of the town, but distributed all
over the city, and desire your good,

sections of the city so that it will not
be necessary to patronize any of the
above-named unfair shops Please have
this matter mentioned to the members
of your family, and to all of your
friends. The meat cutters are having
a hard struggle in this city, and it is
up to you to do your duty There are
nine union shops in Corryville, where
you can make your purchases in this
line; but there is only one in the East
End, namely, Karl II. Williams, 1925
Eastern Ave. Mr. Williams will de-
liver the goods right to your home and
YOU will not have bit of trouble in

Schlichte and Chas. Derrick.
In Sedamsville we have two union
shops-Ben Rcisiger, 621 Delhi avenue
