further says that had it not been for
this demand, it is quite probable that
the manufacture of gun carriages
might have continued in Hamilton for
many months.
Sure they would have continued
making gun carriages, why not, peace
is at hand and we will need them. It's
a cinch the government would have
continued making gun carriages in
the plant where about three million

mated Localities.

Pittsburg, Pa.,-The triumphant
end If the war for democracy has not
phased the steel trust, which has re-
sumed its lawless methods in opposi-
tion to trade unionism
The work Of organizing the steel
industry is being directed by the nat
ional committee for organizing iror
and steel workers, President Gompers
chairman Cooperating with the
committee are "a international unions
affiliated with the A. F. of l.
At the committees headquarters in
this city it is stated that lawlessness
exists in western Pennsylvania and
that the right Of assembly is denied in
many localities dominated by steel
trust interests.
The committee has issued a state
ment in which it is declared that in
the various towns along the Monon-
gahela river, the heart of America S
steel industry, there prevails not
whit more freedom of assembly
than existed in Russia before the re
volution Despite its indispensable
services to the government in the
great war, the A. f of L. is treated
as an outlaw organization in this Prus-
sianized district.
"To suppress the right of assem-
bly," says the committee, "the steel
interests have bag of tricks to be
employed as occasion demands In
Braddock and Homestead, where halls
for mass meetings had been secured
and paid for the local city officials
terrorized the owners of the halls in
to calling off the meetings and refund
ing the rent money. In Rankin, where
the hall proprietor had more courage
than usual, and refused to submit to
such outrageous dictation, the local
board of health was made to take him
quickly in hand and close his place"
But in McKeesport they came
straight out into broad daylight and
positively forbade the A. f. of 1. to
hold meetings in that city.

and unconstitutional regulation pre-
walls that the sanction of the mayor

TRADES COUNCIL

The COOPERATIVE Trades and Labor
Council met in regular session last
Tuesday night The attendance was
quite large and all trades were rep
resented. President Albert Brown
presided over the meeting.
The credentials Of John Steiger to
represent Machinists' Union for a
term of eighteen months was read re
ceived and delegate seated.
Two communications from the De-
partment of Labor were received as
read
Ted Smith business agent of the
Machinists Union explained the troub-
lie at the Hooven plant
Lou Nau of the Labor Board re-
ported that they received word from
the Cleveland War Labor Board to
take care of the soldiers as they re-
turn. The Executive board met i'm
mediately after the council meeting
and drafted resolutions to that effect.
The Trlstees were instructed to pur
chase 100000 worth of War Savings

The RepuDlican-News, the official
organ of the corporations, and owned
by the corporations is once more on
the job in its attempt, attempt you
understand, to mold public sentiment
against organized labor. Now don't
misunderstood us, we are not charging
them with molding public sentiment,
we only say they are attempting to
mold public sentiment.
In an article the other night pur-
porting to be Washington dispatch,
the R-N blames the machinists for the
discontinuance of government work at
the Mosler plant. To date the R-N
hasn't blamed organized labor for
the flood, the war, or the Spanish
influenza epidemic Everything else
though that has gone wrong can be
laid up to organized according
to the R-N.
According to the article referred to
it was because the machinists on Nov

for an increase of Is cents per hour

s25O,OOO BACK PAY

Washington, The national war la
Dor board has ruled that the $250,000
back pay in dispute between the In
ternational Railway company, Buffalo,
N. Y, and its organized motormen
and conductors shall be paid not later
than April / next. If the company is
permitted to increase fares it shall be
allowed go days in which to make the
payments after the increase goes in
to effect.
These employees suspended work to
enforce wage increases which date
back to June l. When the strike en-
ded both sides agreed that the national

bosses quickly regained their health
and are back on the job. Sure the
government never would have quit
running THIS Plant.
The R-N doesn't say why the gov
ernment quit work on the big nitrate
plant at Ancor. Or why so many
men were laid off at the Rolling Mills
in Middletown or why about 10000
were laid off at the Wright plant and
thousands of others at other plants
in Dayton. Nor does it tell why 19
machinists were laid off at the Long
and Allstatter Co, on last Thursday
night
Sure it doesn't tell any of this stuff.
1t is the same old game and unless
industrial matters are quickly adjust
ed in our city the public can look for
much more of this kind of junk and
from the same source. The R-N must
give some return for what it receives
and what better opportunity for do
ing so can there be than right now.
The whole secret of the thing is just
this. The employers are seeking to
continue the long hours and in this
manner cause an over supply of labor.
This would cause competition and then
would come their chance to batter
down wages. And the Republican
News, always against organized labor,
is here to help the manufacturer carry
out his plan by trying to mold public
sentiment in favor of the manufac-
turer as against the worker. Accord
ing to the statement of ownership
published by the R-N it is owned by
manufacturers and capitalists, so that
what ever appears in its colums is the
manufacturers side only and in their
interest even though things have to be
stretched a little and the truth reck-
lessly handled

MEAT EMPLOYEES ASK MORE.

Chicago The organized meat cut
tiers and butchers workmen have Sc
cured Francis j. Heney to plead their
case before an arbitrator, who will
pass upon wage demands of these
workers.
This wage movement is backed by
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen and allied trades
In a plea for thorough organization
the packing house employees call at
tention to their remarkable progress
during the last II months, but the
workers are urged to be awake that 9
higher standard may be reached.
1t is stated that this desirable goa
can be attained only by greater or.
ganization.

A pompous old gentleman upon
reaching home in the afternoon found
the street blockaded and heap of
earth piled up against his doorstep.
Observing a workman welding his
shovel in ditch, he accosted a pass
ing policeman and complained the la
borer was trespassing upon private
property.
What do yez mean by throwing
dirt on the gentleman's steps, de-
manded the officer.
There's no other place t throw it,
replied the workman, inditferently.

better dig another hole an throw It
