ceived and delegates ordered to take
notice.
A communication was read from
Local No. 16, of the International
Tobacco Workers Union of Louis
vile, KY, in which they state that
their contract with the Axton-Fisher
Co., manufacturers of "Clown" cigar
cites, does not call for free meals. Yet,
every day, this company serves every
employe hot dinner absolutely free
of charge. This is just another reason
why they think that every union man
should smoke Clown cigarettes. On
motion the communication was receiv-
ed and the delegates requested to
take notice.
A communication from the union
label trades department of the A. F.
of L., regarding trade unionists
starting the New Year by demanding
union labels on goods purchased. On
motion the same was received and
delegates urged to take notice
Stanley Ogg, secretary, read a copy
of letter sent to Mr.. Will Blake,
director of the industrial relations of
the state of Ohio, in which he respect
fully calls his attention to the depart
ment to the conditions of the service
now available to the working people
of Hamilton, in having claims for
compensation investigated properly.
Mr.. Chas. Pence, the present field dep
uty, spends only few days in Ham
ilton, and Hamilton should have
man assigned here or at least to the
county. 1t would be for the best inter
ests of not only the working people
but also to the department that the
deputy be placed here on full time.
Director Blake replied by saying,
Il like your suggestion respecting the
Importance of having a field deputy
of this department devote more of his
time to the Hamilton district than he
is now doing. Mr.. Hedges is away
from the office at present, and as soon
as he returns, | shall be very glad to
take this matter up with him, and we
will see what can be done towards
compliance with your request"
There seems to be numbers of com
plants among injured workmen in
and around Hamilton not receiving
their compensation promptly, and
some of them not receiving compen-
sation for injuries at all. This is.what
prompted Secretary Ogg to communi-
cate with Blake. The communications
created some discussion among the
delegates at the meeting, and quite a
few of them sighted instances of diff
ferent working men who have been
neglected. The action of Secretary
Ogg met the approval of the dele
gates and the communications as read
were received
