Problems Settled
By Local No. l3l
Members Show Satisfaction
With Manner In Which
Question Is Solved

A number of important questions
were discussed at last Thursdays well
attended meeting of Local Union No.
13l. Everyone was satisfied with the
manner in which the problems were
disposed.
We are sorry to report the death of
Brother Teller who was charter
member of this local. He will be sad
ly missed by those Of US who came i'm
contact with him daily and by his
many friends throughout the trade.
He was a man everyone was proud to
call Brother" We wish to convey our
deepest sympathy to the bereaved
family ard friends.
Our committee is busy working res
olutions for the coming convention.
Anyone with any ideas should present
them at an early meeting.
We are still waiting for a settlement
between the jiggermen and ourselves,
but we feel this matter will be
Strengthened out in short time. Let s
hope No. II feels the same way
There are still few of our men,
bers on the down side as far as dues
and assessments are concerned. This
matter should be taken care of at
once because we do not wish to place
anyone on the suspended list.
See you all Thursday night

Musicians' Local
Sponsors Show
Here Next Month
Local Officials Aid Drive To
Return Vaudeville
To Favor

East Liverpool theater-goers are tc
be given an opportunity once more to
see class "a vaudeville here Wednes-
day, February 8.
Nine complete featured acts, star
ring so people, will be presented at
the Ceramic theater by Musicians
Local Union No. 172 for the purpose
of aiding the comeback Of flesh and
blood entertainment on the American
stage. Spokesman of the local wanted
it distinctly understood that this was
not to be confused in any way with a
benefit, but as 4 determined bid to
make real vaudeville entertainment in
demand here.
A majority of the acts will stop
oyer here on their way east from the
Oriental Theater in Chicago's famed
Loop, according to the officials of the
local. "The Passing Show of $780,

Continuous Show Sunday
Robinson Elected
President by No. 81
Local Is Not Boosting of It's
Attendance Lost Few
Meetings
WARN DELNQUENTS

- Local Union No. 21 elected the fol-
lowing men to lead the local the first
six months of 1899: Elmer Robinson,
president; Ted Upright, vice presi-
dent; James Gulutz, recording secre-
tary; Dale Gourley, financial secre-
tary; Ephram Ladzinski, treasurer;
Stanley Mills, guard; John Aumiller,
Inspector; Stanley Mills, trustee.
We certainly cannot boast about the
attendance at our last several meet
ings. 1t is apparent that "the certain
few" must make up the personnel of
all the meetings and decide all the
important questions. 1t is rather dis
couraging to see handful turnout to
meeting Of local with almost 100
members.
1t is due to this failure or perhaps
willful neglect on the part of the
members to attend meetings that so
many are unfamiliar with the rules
and regulations of the organization as
set forth in the constitution. Quite
often we find one of our members
with the idea that he can step out of
line and make certain demands that
are, in the last analysis, unfair to the
rest of the group. Ignorance of the
law excuses no one. This has been
said many times before, but it is still
good.
There is another thing that is be-
ing overlooked by number of men,
bers. Probably neglect is the answer,
because we can't see anyone suspend
ing himself for the fun of it. All men,
bers must keep their dues and assess
ments paid up to date. This local
adopted a resolution to publish the
names of all members three or more
months in arrears.
Or one occasion in the past, this
was done, much to the CONSERVATION
of those affected. At our next reg
ular meeting the financial secretary
will be requested to read out all names
arrears and this list will be published
in the Herald.
To those of you, who may be de-
linquent, it is up to you as to the pos
sibility of your name being on that
list. There can be no reason why you
should be three or more months in ar
rears. Some special circumstances
may have been encountered, but this
local has always shown understanding
in such cases and will not deviate from
that policy now. Where leniency is
deserved, it certainly will be shown.
Now that we have new staff of
officers, let us give them cooperation
and support by attending all the meet
ings. The next meeting will be held
Thursday, February 2, just after
Ground Hog day. All the shadows will
be gone by then.-O. c.. 21.

DRUG CLERKS SIGN UP
CLEVELAND CHAIN STORE

Cleveland, Ohio (AFLWNS). - Fol-
lowing a militantly conducted strike
against the Marshall Drug Company in
Cleveland, the newly organized Retail
Drug Clerks Local No. 489 finalized an
agreement covering the firms stores.
The strike was confined to two
downtown drug stores, but the disor-
ganization Of patronage was SO large
that the negotiations for the contract
came to a close without tying up the
entire chain.
On the last day of the strike the A.
F. of L. Retail Service Employees Union
assisted the Clerks Union by calling a
strike at Marshall's drug warehouse.
The walkout was so general that the
management closed the warehouse.

WAGE RATE
ORDERED IN BRIDGE BIDS

Nashville, Tenn. (AFLWNS).-Rec-
ognition Of one Of the main demands
of organized labor in Tennessee was>a
feature in the order issued by Commits
sioner M. o. Allen, of the State High
way Department, stipulating that the
prevailing wage rates must be figured
on bids for the construction of bridge
across the Hiwassee river at Calhoun,
Tenn.
The significance of the order is the
fact that it really insures union labor
conditions in the construction Of the
bridge.

$1,5OO Lost BY Store
Elmer l.. Winters, manager of the
w. II. Grant Co. remarked that he
lost 81 500 by refusing to stock Jap
anese-made rice mat rug this year. He
stated that the American rug he sub
stituted in it's place did not sell while
the manager of the Steubenville Grant
store, had told him his sales on this
item jumped fifty per cent, because
so many rugs were shipped into East
Liverpool, expressage being paid by
the buyers. He was asked to SUBJ
stantiate this claim in the same man.
ner as the merchants had asked proof
of the Japanese goods they had for
sale during the Christmas season.
In answer to William Ogilvie, w. H.
Locke Anderson and Arthur Wells in
formed the meeting that rs per cent
of the decal used in this country is
manufactured here and that as soon
as the American manufacturers can
supply the demand, it was to be ex-
pected that 100 per cent would be pur-
chased in this country.
Mr. Bloor explained that the Ameri-
can merchant is willing to pay lit
tie more for home product if it is
better merchandise and mentioned the
toy market which Germany had COM
pletely in it's control some years ago.
Recently, however, the American-made
toys have been so superior that the
German toys are not to be found.
Mr.. Ogilivie said that when Ameri-
can manufacturers bring their prices
down to compete with foreign goods,
the local merchants would certainly
buy them. Mr.. Wells said he did not
think that would meet with the
sanction of the committee, since the
reason for this meeting was to further
the sale of American-made goods, and,
"a matter of price can't be allowed to
stand in the way"
Mr.. Watkin asked Mr.. Ogilvie how
he expected American workmanship
to be sold at the same price as the
products of thirty-cents-a-day foreign
labor.
Mr.. Anderson, at this point, made
a motion that two-man committees be
appointed by the two groups to work
out all problems. 1t was seconded by
Mr.. Bloor.
Plans for the elimination of dump
ing grounds for foreign-made goods
such as Youngstown and Columbus
were explained by James Grafton who
outlined the A. F. of LIS program for
the year.
In addition to Ogilvie's and Grants,
the two five and tens, j. c. Penny Co..
Montgomery-Ward Co. and Moore's
Furniture store had representatives at
the meeting. The "Buy American
committee was we'll represented by
both manufacturers and Brotherhood
members.
An account of the meeting was
given to the entire "Buy American
committee at it's regular session last
night. 1t was thought better under
standing between the committee and
the merchants had resulted and full
cooperation would be the outcome.
The next meeting of the committee
will be held Wednesday,, February 8.
