MINERS MEET
OHIO WORKERS WILL DEMAND
SIX HOUR DAY
Want Two Year Agreement and In
creased Wages, With Double Time
For Sundays and Holiday
(By Federated Press)

Observation-Disclosures from
the Ohio district, U. M. w. A., have
arrived here under unanimous in
structions from their district conven-
ton to present to the miners national
convention demands for a six-hour
day and the unionization of the big
non-union fields in West Virginia and
Kentucky "as a matter of self-pro-
lection"
The Ohio convention, which closed
in Columbus Jan. 16, placed itself on
record for a substantial wage increase
to meet advancing living costs. The
scale demanded fixes a $3.50 advance
in pay for tonnage yardage, and dead
work, with time and half for over
time and double time for Sundays and
holidays. Under the existing con-
tract, overtime and Sunday work is
paid solely on a straight-time basis.
The day wage scale demanded gives
equal rates of pay for both inside and
outside mine laborers Miners COM
pensation under the new scale would
be $1.171a per ton and $1.25 per hour,
as against 94 cents and 9334 cents re-
spectively under the old contract.
The convention further asked that the
national executives of the United
Mine Workers negotiate the new
agreement on two-year basis, to be-
come effective April i, 1924.

Florida Home For
Aged Carpenters
(By Federated Pressl

Lakeland, Fla.-Aged members of
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners will have an opportunity
to spend their remaining years among
the orange groves of Florida. The
national executive board of the union
has purchased as home for them
1884 acres of land near here at cost
of $632,393.
The land lies some 80 miles east of
Tampa, in Poly county, which is one
of the most southern counties of the
state, not counting the large ever
glades and near-everglades portion.
Nearly 600 acres of the land pur-
chased is said to be in orange, grape
fruit and tangerine orchards, from
which some revenue may be derived.
Electric power may be had from the
city Of Lakeland, which has popula-
tion of 5000.
A referendum of the union was
called last July to vote on system
of old age pensions and establish a
home. Both propositions were car
ried, it is stated. Since that time the
general membership has been paying
an assessment of 10 cents a month
per member for the building fund and
to defray the cost of the pensions.

OLD TIME "COPS"

Many of the old-timers on the police
force acquired regulations for cour-
age, efficiency and level headedness
which knock the record of some of
their present day successors galley
west and crooked.
Such a one was "Big Bob" Zer-
giebel, whose tragic end so shocked
his friends few days ago. And his
friends were legion, only to be num-
bered by his acquaintance. He prac-
tically had no enemies.
During his long and faithful service
as a policeman he never shirked the
call of duty, neither did he ever per-
nit his zeal to induce him to overstep
the bounds of common sense or lead
him into any wild west stunts which
would jeopardize the lives of persons
innocent of wrong doing; but in times
of actual necessity he was there with
the goods.
May the all-wise Creator, in His
infinite wisdom and mercy, grant his
spirit eternal rest in the world to
come.

LENINE IS DEAD
Pre- n1ier of Soviet Russia Passes
Away Monday

MOSCOW-Official announcement
is made that Nicholai Lenine, aged
SO, president of the council of peoples
commissaries (the Russian red gov
ernment) died Monday night from
heart weakness induced by paralysis
of the side.
News of his death, while not unex-
pected to those who had been closest
to him in the Soviet councils, came
unexpectedly at this time to the great
majority as the most recent reports
had been that he was considerably
improved in health.
Plans are under way for great
state funeral Saturday He will be
buried at the Red burial ground at
the Kremlin in Moscow and the great
est public demonstration of sorrow
Russia has ever known in her history
is anticipated.
Many attempts were made upon
Lenine's life but he escaped them all
to die natural death, peacefully IN
bed.
Lenine was the real power behind
the Moscow government. His powers
were even more dictatorial than those
of the autocratic czars that ruled be-
fore he came into authority as head
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-01-25

of the Russian government in No
vember, 1917.
Members of the Peoples council of
commissars (the government of the
federal Socialist Soviets) visited him
at intervals for counsel. Sick or well,
Lenine remained the idol of the Rus
rian Communists.
While Lenine's influence was felt
throughout the entire world he has
always remained more or less of an
obscure figure. So long as he could
rule and WELD power he was content
to remain in the background and
allow the lesser lights to occupy the
limelight
Foreign statesmen admit that Le-
nine was not only one of the most
spectacular figures Europe has pro-
duced in the past century but one of
the most powerful. From his retreat
in the Kremlin he issued orders that
were obeyed by the "proletariat" not
only in his own country but in foreign
lands as well.
Lenine's real family name was
vladimir Ilyitch Ulyanov. He came
Of noble family but was banished
from Russia because of his Nihilist
principles. He lived a great part of
his life in France and Switzerland.
He was living in Switzerland during
the world war.

that if there had been as many autos
back in the days when whisky drink
mig was at it's height in this country
there wouldn't have been cemeteries
enough to hold the dead. Driving a
horse while intoxicated is no great
feat, because a horse has measure
of intelligence. But the man isn't
living who can operate an automobile
as carefully when drunk as when
sober
Our courts all over the country are
making it plain that the public de-
mands protection from drunken auto
drivers, and they are showing no
mercy to the drivers who display
signs of intoxication when arrested
usually after they have damaged other
machines or injured innocent people
on the streets or highways. And it's
good thing. We have no desire to
argue the prohibition question here,
but we do join with every good citizen
in this land in demanding that if
man must drink that he stay away
from steering wheel while he is
doing it.

Convict Contracts
Let Despite Law
(By Federated Press)

Rock Springs-A convict labor con-
tract has been awarded in violation of
the state law by Governor Jones and
the Wyoming state board OF charities
and reform to the Reliance Shirt Co.
of Chicago. 1t is a six-year contract,
at 6212 cents shirt, for the total
production of the shirt factory in. the
state penitentiary at Rawlins. A new
fire-proof shirt factory building has
been completed in the penitentiary
and will start operations as soon as
machinery has been installed.
The law against such awards is eX
plicit, forbidding contracts either by
the letting of the labor of such con-
victs at a fixed price per diem, or by
what is known as the piece-p"'ce
plan, or in any other manner, where
by the labor of such convicts is let
Or controlled by any outside person or
persons"
Charges are made in the Rock
Springs Rocket that the governor is
letting the contract at 81 cents below
the 931a-cent rate charged by Con-
necticut institutions to the same firm.
A Letter handed by prisoner to a
Rock Springs workman in reconstruc-
tion work in the prison factory
charges that the "water cure" at rs
pounds pressure is given prisoners as
disciplinary measure, that one man
was shot dead by a guard for no ap-
parent cause and that the attempted
burning of the prison factory by pri-
soners followed the unbearable con-
ditions there.

The VOIStead Act

Washington-Labor, law and capi-
tai, as represented by the American
Federation of Labor, the Constitu-
tional Liberty league, the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment,
and the Moderation league, have COM
bined forces for the purpose of seek
ing a modification of the Volstead act.
James Duncan, member of the exc
cutive board of the A. F. of L., rep
resents labor; Colonel ]. Goldman,
attorney, represents the law, while
Capt. w. H. Stayton, president of the
Baltimore Steamship company, rep
resents capital.
These forces will ask the conven-
tion managers of the two political
parties to include modification
plank in the platforms. Later, an or
ganized and systematic crystalization
of opinion in favor of modification
will be attempted.

Farr. Labor Union
Is Getting Active
(Bv Federated Press)

Washington-Com and mem
bers of both houses have been hear
ing from the leaders Of the newest
and perhaps most significant of all
the farm organizations in the United
States-the Farm-Labor Union OF
America. ts-@---~
State presidents Of the ofganiza-
tion from Arkansas, Oklahoma and
Texas have come here, and patiently
have explained to the lawmakers that
something more than 100000 farm
ers and farm workers in the south
and west have joined the Farm-Labor
union since it was formed three years
ago in an obscure Texas town, and
that this represents the largest and
most important development in a
given time in the history of agrarian
movements For this is league of
farmers who consider themselves or
dinary workmen, like the men who
follow other trades. They say ter
land or their leases, and their live
stock and other equipment are just
their kits of tools for carrying on
their trade They want a living wage,
and they propose to affiliate with the
other organized workers for mutual
protection.
During the railway shopmens'
strike of last year, the locals of the
Farm Labor union in the southwest
furnished supplies to the strikers and
saw to it that no strikebreakers were
recruited in their territory. After the
cotton crop ripened, the strikers went
out to the farms and picked cotton
for their union friends.
Political action is one of the main
objects of the union, and it is in sup
port of the Norris-Sinclair foreign
marketing bill that they have come
to Washington at this time. Mean
while they are using a system of pool
ing and marketing their crop through
their own expert and bonded sales
agents.
"The day when organized farmers
can be used to combat the organized
workers of the towns is rapidly wan
ing," said President Thompson of the
Arkansas branch. "Our farmers are
what the British Labor
party is doing, and we think the
American people are fundamentally
capable of as good job"

The Sucker List
Is Extra Large

New York-They're known as tip
sters" or 'touts" on the race track and
confidential advisers" in the stock
market gamble.
Anyway, the Wall Street Journal is
authority for the statment that since
General Woods son cleaned up $780,
900 in gambling on stocks, New York
has developed an unprecedented crop
of tipsters who will give to the suck
ers any advice desired, provided cash
accompanies the request.
And, of course, they're doing a big
business. The average American is a
full-grown fish when it comes to bit
ing at the bait known as "getting
something for nothing" Instead of
getting what he wants, he pays for
getting nothing.

laFOi!ette'S R. R. Bill
Has Been introduced
(By Federated Press)

Washington-La Toilette has intro
duced the railroad bill he has drafted
in consultation with spokesmen of
railroad labor. Now that the Demo-
Gratis have joined with the progress
sives in electing chairman for the
senate Interstate commerce committee
who opposed the Esch- Cummins bill,
and who is pledged to it's modification
IN the interest of the farmers and the
other producing classes, these Demo-
Gratis are challenged by the Wisconsin
veteran to take some hundred of mil
hons OF dollars a year from the rail
road combine and return it to the
people.
81 propose" says La Toilette, chat
the interstate commerce commission
shall fix rates on the basis of cost
OF service. By cost of service | mean
operating expenses, plus actual capi-
tai cost. Capital cost is interest on
bonds, plus fair dividends for stock
that represents money invested. |
reject the theory that public utilities
have any right to earn profits on in
f1ated and fictitious values"
That's the kernel of the measure
a definite legal plan for taking the
water out of railroad stocks. AS was
argued by Glenn Plumb, any such
valuation would eliminate many bill
lions of dollars from the total claimed
by the companies and allowed by the
commission. 1t will mean more than
a billion dollars year saved on the
cost of living to the people at large,
since every freight charge is multi
piled several times in retail prices of
goods transported by rail.

Eliminate Fatal
Mine Accidents
(By Federated Press)

Seattle, Wash.-For the first time
in 80 years the Roslyn-Cle Elum coal
fields, employing 1900 miners, have
ended a years work without having
to record single fatal accident, Pres
Martin j. Flyzik, District 10, U. M.
w. A., reports. Flyzik, who has in
vestigated the mines in that field, as
cribes this record to safety co-opera-
ton between the men, the union, the
state inspector, and the company man
agement.
A strike vote at the Patrick mine
has been rescinded as the result of
an amicable settlement of differences
between the men and the company,
Flyzik reports.
A telegram to Flyzik from John L..
Lewis, international president, places
him on the resolutions committee of
the United Mine Workers convention,
which is now in session at Indiana
polls.

1T COMES HIGH NOW

In the good old days the "Hired
Man" remembers when high-grade
bonded liquor sold for dollar or a
dollar and quarter for a full quart.
But Great Caesar, how things have
changed in a few short years! Why
just the other day, right here in New
ark, poor cuss was captured'by the
anti-booze army and among the
spoils of war was discovered six
tenths of an ounce of some sort of a
liquid alleged to contain upwards of
one-half of one per cent alcohol.
The prisoner was yanked up in the
municipal court and soaked to the
tune of six hundred good American
dollars.
Now getting down to cases, if it
costs 5000 to own six-tenths of an
ounce, a gallon should subject it's
possessor to fine of $128,OO0. or
thereabouts.
Verify alcohol has become more
precious than rubies and diamonds! !!

HERE THEY ARE
BOUQUETS AND BRICKBATS ARE
DISTRIBUTED
COmmendati0n and Criticism Handed
Out PrOmiscuously as Deemed
Just BY Our Hired Man
HOW'S THIS FOR A TIP?

The "Hired Man" is firm believer
of keeping our money at home and
spending it among our own local mer-
chants, not paying it out to Tom, Dick
and Harry to carry away and spend
elsewhere.
There are several ways in which
this has been done in the past, one of
which may easily be overcome by the
city council. Merely insert in every
contract for city work the clause re-
Iuiring that all persons employed on
such work shall be registered voters
of Newark.
This would effectually put a stop
to the practice of foreign contractors
bringing in hordes of cheap, poorly
paid labor and denying employment
to home people, as was the case at
the water filtration plant and other
jobs.
Much of this imported labor is
composed of the very scum of the
earth, a menace to the city, while the
home people who are thereby deprived
of employment are mainly hard-Work-
ing men, most of them heads of fam
lilies, who actually need the work to
sustain themselves and those de-
pendent upon them.
The taxpayers furnish the money
which pays for all work done by the
city, and it is no more than just to
them that it should be spent right
here at home and among our own
people; and by adopting the plan sug-
gested this would, in this instance at
least, be accomplished.
Should the city council act upon the
plan suggested it would undoubtedly
meet the approval of all Newark
citizens, and be benefit to many who
are in actual need of honest work.
Keep our money at home, spend it
among our own people, Don't import
"a bunch of outsiders to get the bene
Nit of what should be used to sustain
our own people.
A number of street improvements
have already been authorized by
council, and manv more are contem
plated. Work will be commenced in
the spring as soon as the weather
permits. Now is the time to pass
the ordinance requiring that all nee
essary labor shall be recruited from
among Newark's registered voters,
and to instruct the Board of Control
to insert clause to that effect in
every contract awarded for all future
city work.

Oppose Convict Labor

Baltimore-Organized molders are

exploits the convicts and wrongs the

with prison-made castings, thereby
causing unemployment and distress"
