STATE FEDERATION
OF LABOR MEETING

Akron, O.-More than 1000 dele
gates and visitors to the convention
of the Ohio Federation of Labor,
were assembled at the Eagles Audi
torium Monday morning when the
state conclave of representatives of
all branches of organized labor open
ed.
The meeting was called to order by
President John P. Frey, of Cincin-
natl.
Mayor D. C. Rybolt welcomed dele
gates and visitors.
All sessions of the general conven-
ton are open to the public as far as
facilities will permit, only committee
meetings being secret.
The splendid reports of the Presi-
dent, SecretaryTreasurer and Exc
cutive Board were read and the neces-
sary action taken thereon.
Four objectives of the national lab
or body were outlined by James Dun
can, Quincy, ILL.,, first vice president
of the American Federation of Lab
or. They are: To oppose any amend
ment to the workmen's compensation
act except those proposed by the
state federation; passage of an anti
injunction law; abolishment of the
open shop contract, and to pledge leg

these accidents are preventable."
In a letter to the conference,
through his cabinet member, the Pres
ident expressed hearty approval of
the purpose of the gathering.
The labor secretary suggested that
there be created in the Department
of Labor bureau equipped to gath
er statistics on accidents and to dis
semmate information on the preven-
tlon of accidents. This plan has been
lndorsed by A. F. of l.. conventions as
has government-maint mu-
scum, wherein could be placed the
latest devices and methods to con-
serve life and limb.
Secretary Frank Morrison of the
A. F. of l.. cited the way the coal in
duStry ignores recommendations of
the bureau of mines for the preven-
ton of explosions. He said the en-
ployer pays into compensation funds
and charges the cost to industry,
while the worker suffers to a degree
that compensation laws do not COM
pensate. His family also suffers, be-
ing reduced to lower standard of
living and loses its educational rights
because of the fathers reduced earn
ing capacity.
can indispensable auxiliary to these
checks on human wastage in industry
is sound public opinion.
"This development, in truth, is the
foundation for the successful applica-
tion of remedial legislation. If our
democracy is to function we must not
assign changes of such sweeping char
acter to. our legislative representa-
tives. They must be supported by a
united people, who must insist that
not only the letter of the law, but
likewise the spirit, shall be complied
with"

WITH
APOLOGIES
Got the Short End


Up to date the "Hired Man"
appears to be the only citizen
who has openly through the pap
ers expressed an opinion on the
situation confronting the South
ern Ohio Public Service Co. in
it's squabble with the city over
raising the street car tracks on
East Main street and around the
square, but his statement that
the company has not been given
a square deal has met with gen
eral approval by all fair minded
people.
Elsewhere in today's Leader
is a statement of the employees
Of the railway company which
should be read, as it covers the
situation and is signed by men
who have been in the steady en-
ploy of the company for nearly
twenty years. They are all
members of the Street Car Mems
Union which is affiliated with
the A. F. of l.. and the Newark
Federation of Labor. Fifty per
cent of them own their own
homes and a large majority are
married and have families. The
street car company last year
paid them wages amounting to-
nearly $4,000 which was spent
with Newark merchants.
A couple of years ago the
street railway was granted a
twenty-five year franchise, with
permission to run busses on
lines where the patronage did
not justify the operation of the
more expensive electric cars. In
the neighborhood of $4,000
was spent for new busses which
were put in operation.
A cloud appeared on the no
rizon'when an attempt was made
to increase the rate of fare and
the matter finally got into the
courts, where it still fingers in
an unsettled condition.
A few weeks ago council
granted a franchise to a COM
peting company to operate a bus
line over the same route cover
ed by the franchise of the rail
company, and permitted the new
corporation to charge a higher
fare than that allowed to the
old company which had been
operating for upwards of a quar-
ter of a century and was an
nually paying city taxes of near
ly $4,000.
That the public agrees with
the "Hired Man" in condemning
the treatment accorded the old
company is evidenced by the
lack of patronage accorded the
so called rapid transit company,
whose cars, which unlike the
Newark made vehicles owned by
the old street car company, were
imported from an outside town,
are running comparatively emp
ty.
Recently council decided to
improve and resurface certain
streets and ordered the railway
company to raise it's tracks to
conform to the new grade. This
the company is said to have
agreed to do, but declined to
begin operations until the case
now pending in court was set
tied or withdrawn. Then the
powers that be issued an ultl-
matum that unless the order
was complied with by July 29th
the rails would be covered ur

Injunction restraining such &C

bate court in the absence of
Judge Moore of the court OF
common pleas. and there for the
time being the matter rests
