FIREMEN ORGANIZE

Local No. 109 of the International
Association of Fire Fighters was or
ganized in this city on August 10th,
1918, by the State Organizer Bro.
Hunter Allison of East Liverpool, o.,
assisted by Bro. Geo. Hamilton OF this
city. Bro. Hamilton gave very in
teresting talk to the new members on
unionism and the duties of the MEM
bers of union labor. There are 106
local unions in the United States, two
in Canada and one in Panama, the
membership is $4,000 all paid firemen.
The headquarters of the Association
is in the A. F. of L. building, Wash
ington, D. C. The following cities in
Ohio have formed organizations: Gin
cinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Hamil-
ton, Portsmouth, GAINESVILLE, East
Liverpool and Newark, and the mem
bership in Ohio is 1900. In New
York City on the first of August
$500 fremen joined this organiza-
ton, while the fremen of many other
large cities over the entire country
are members. There are approximate
ly 10000 paid fremen in the United
States, many of them at the present
time working for much smaller pay
and longer hours than the average
working man of today. That they
can better these conditions by affliat-
ing with organized labor is the feel
ing on the part of the firemen in
general over the entire country. Local
Unions have been organized in a num-
Der of cities of the country for several
years. On February %, 1918, there
was organized in Washington, D. c.,
the International Association of Fire
Fighters, affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor.
The movement for a shorter work
ing day has been before the firemen
for some time, in fact the Two Platoon
system has been adopted at present in
55 cities of the country, and in every
case where it has been given a fair
trial it has resulted in a better fire
department. That it is a good plan
is very evident when the United
States Congress passed, without a
dissenting vote, the bill to give the
fremen of Washington, D. c., the
Two Platoon system.
The following officers were elected:
President-Edward Roe.
Vice President-John Kerrigan.
Sec'y-Treas.-Geo. H. Conlon.
Rec. Secy-Orrin T. Robinson.
Guide-Geo. r. House.
Trustees-Edgar Swern, Otho E.

TYPOGRAPHICAL.

There was an overflow attendance at
the regular monthly meeting of Den
yer Typographical Union No. 40 last
Sunday afternoon in Horan hall, in
anticipation of the newspaper scale
committees report. Chairman Tanner
for the committee made detailed
statement in which he said that two
conferences had been held with the
newspaper publishers the preceding
week, but that no agreement was
reached. During the meeting COM
munication was received from the pub
fishers of the Post, Times and News,
containing counter proposition re-
ducing the wage scale 81 per week on
morning and evening papers. These
publishers also seem to have an idea
that the committee did not represent
the sentiment of the union. OF course.
the counter proposition was rejected
without being given any consideration
whatsoever and resolution adopted
unanimously by over $50 members
present, reailirming the scale adopted
and expressing confidence in the COM
mittee's ability to handle the unions
affairs in this matter. The latter fur.
