Labor Leader Starts On
mo Beer, No Work Drive

ROCHESTER, N. Y. Feb. 11.-Eman-
uel Koveliski, president of the Trades
Liberty League and representing the
New York State Federation of Labor.
has taken personal charge of the ''no
beer, no work" campaign. He left to-
day for Buffalo, Cleveland and other
cities, where he will organize the
movement and line up organized labor
to hight for its personal rights on the
prohibition question.
Mr.. Koveliski's attention was called
to the ''no beer, no bonds" buttons, and
he said he knew nothing about their
origin. He said the people who wear
these are un-American and disloval
and that he had no sympathy with such
a legend. He did admit, however, that
the mo beer, no work. buttons were
being issued by the state labor body,
which would back such a fight to the
bitter end.
1t is generally believed here that or
ganized labor will begin definite agi-
tatlon against prohibition, and that
Mr.. koveliski has been selected as the
militant head of the movement, which
will culminate in a general strike of
labor on the day that prohibition goes
into effect.

Employers Association have jobs will
return to work Thursday morning. I'M
medlately thereafter committees repre-
sentlng the employers and the unions
meet. SO far as is known the most
important demand of the men is ar in
crease of 81 over the $3.50 rate fixed
in 1916.
Truce Follows Conferences
The truce agreement was brought
about by William Dobson, international
secretary of the brcklayers, and Frank
feeney, international president of the
elevator constructors, whose men have
been on strike in support of the car
penters, and c. j. Norman, represent
ing the employers association. 1t fol-

cred at the Continental Hotel and the
governing committee of the employ

William l.. Hutchinson, international
president of the carpenters, at the di
made the following statement:
after several hours conference, the
representatives of the allied trades
prevailed upon William L. Hutcheson,

ters and Joiners of America, to con-
sent to q truce until Saturday noon,

ployers' Association meet representa-
tives of the Brotherhood of Carpen-
ters Thursday forenoon to adjust the
wage scale in accordance with the
above understanding.
Mr.. Hutcheson refused to comment
on the statement
Employers Make Statement
For the employers Samuel B. Don
nelly, secretary of the association
made statement, in part, as follows
"Messrs. Dobson and Feeney met
Z: j. Norman at noon and at 4 o'clock
Mr.. Dobson advised US that all strikes
had been declared off and the men
would return to work on Thursday
morning.
1--WE agreed in return that commit
tee OF employers would meet repre-
sentatives of the Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners at 10 O'Clock

The agreement to return the men to
work does not affect more than few
thousand in this city. Many jobs on
which they struck have been finished
or turned over sto independent con-
tractors. The same is true in other
cities

been withdrawn from the downtown
streets, but this morning, as on the day
before, they patrolled threatened areas

Policeman Wounds Disturber
In the meantime the police and men,
bers of the sheritf's force in the down.
town districts did nothing except to
interfere in minor clashes. In one in
stance a policeman with a sawed off
shotgun fired on a striker who was max
ing trouble and who ran away when
threatened with arrest. The trouble
maker was hit, but his injuries were
insignificant.
In the outlying districts the soldiers
found it necessary to use their bay
onets less than the day before. Only
few miners reported for work. Black
smiths, machinists, electricians and
othr mechanics also stayed away. These
unions are not on strike. but the ma
chinists last night agreed on a policy of
safety first which is taken to mean
that they will not work until the sit
uation clears. The electricians have
adopted the same attitude.
Because of lack of ore. the concen-
