TRADES COUNCIL

The COOPERATIVE Trades and Labor
Council met Tuesday night in regular
session. The meeting was one Of the
largest held by the central body in
months, and all but few locals were
represented. Jack Scheaf presided
over the meeting and about forty five
delegates were present.
The credentials of H. HI. Brewer, of
; Electrical Workers Union; Donald
Davis and Stanley Jackson, of Sta
tionary Engineers Union; C. l..
Baynes, of Machinists' Local PAL,
were read, received and delegates or
dered installed and seated.
A communication was read from the
International Iron Molders' Union of
Cincinnati, Ohio, in which they call
attention to several cities where they
have strikes on. They also ask the
support of the movement in keeping
molders away from the places on
strike. Received and order complied
with.
A communication was read from
the union label trades department of
the A. F. of L., in which they state
that they have been conducting a
union label campaign since November,
1925, and appeal to the trades union
lists to purchase nothing but union
goods for Labor Day. Received and
ordered complied with.
A communication was read from
Secretary Thos. J. Donnelly, of the
0. S. F. of L., in which he stated that
he expected to have in the mails in
few days, 100000 pamphlets con-
tanning the missionaries of the diff
ferent state candidates and their rec
ords. He also informs the council
that Senator Miller, of our county,
was in his office for about an hour
and half. In his talk to brother
Donnelly the conversation drifted to
Hamilton. Miller said that Hamilton
is low grade town and does not
measure up to the high standing of
Middletown. Senator Miller seems
to have a dislike for Hamilton be-
cause the trades unionists here know
how Miller stands on matters bene-
fetal to labor. His hobby is a rural
police law and nothing else. Received
and contents carefully noted by the
delegates.
Another communication was re-
ceived from the 0. S. F. of L., regard
ing the questionnaires of the different
candidates. In the same letter Secre-
tary Donnelly urges the trades union
lists to make sure that all women
members of their families are regis
tered and vote at the primary, Tues
day, August 10th. Received and the
request ordered complied with.
Delegates of the local Stove Noun
ters' Union No. submitted a set of
resolutions which were read and
which they ask that the delegate to
the Ohio State Federation convention
submit the same. The resolutions
contain the facts concerning their
fight with the Estate Stove Company,
where their members are on strike.
The Electrical Workers reported
that their grievances are still on with
the Wente Electric Company, and the
council approved of their action in
placing them on the unfair list
Molders again reported Williamson
and Holland furnaces unfair and also
the Hamilton Building Material Sup
ply Co.
Retail clerks reported the Kroger
and A. & P. stores unfair to them.
Bakers reported Holland, Certified,
National Biscuit Co. and the Mt.
Healthy bakery unfair to them.
Stove mounters reported that they
are still on strike at the Estate and
appeared to be encouraged with the
outlook of the situation.
