Winning Series

Grafton, w. Va.-Well folks, Local
Union No. SO has finally decided to
waken up and get going after a dead
spell Of about two months. A union
ization. program calculated to result in
n leo per cent organization by Janu-
ary l, 1910 has been undertaken. The
local has admittedly been negligent in
allowing members to become delin-
quent and suspended and still continue
to work with the union members who
are paid up to date. Everyone who
has been suspended or delinquent in
their dues take notice; you have three
pays to get in good standing.
We owe this sudden burst of en-
thusiasm to our president, shop COM
mittee and shop steward who believe
in getting things done in the shortest
time possible. If the local is to con
tinue to be force for the better, the
rules, as legislated by the majority,
must be respected by the individual
member. AS result of this activity
three new members were obligated
during the past month, several with
drawal cards were deposited, delin-
quent debts were collected and several
new prospects have expressed a will
ingness to affiliate. Just as a con-
vincer to these new prospects, the
three new members obligated during
the past month have received a wage
increase.
The local is taking an interest in
civic affairs also. A committee was
appointed to work in conjunction with
the Board of Trade in arranging
program for the dedication ceremonies
of the Tygart Dam. President Roose-
velt is to be the main speaker. The

Local Union No. l08 Hears
Vice President Turner
Lost Meeting

Bedford, O.-The members of Local
Union No. 108 wish to thank Vice Pres
ident George Turner for attending our
last meeting and seeing the back MEM
bers. The turnout for the meeting
was excellent.
All members three months or more
in arrears are going to be suspended.
If you are among these, you can save
money by appearing at the next meet
ing with your dues and assessments
in hand We mean exactly what we
say. Sister Betty Tedick Miller and
Brother John GAIA were recently
suspended, but have now been rein
stated
We are Of the firm opinion that each
and every member can spend at least
one month night in local meeting
when these sessions mean SO much to
the members welfare. For that reason
we are going to impose fine of fifty
cents on each member not attending
at least one meeting in month. If
any Of you have any doubts as to how
this can be done, we invite you to at
tend a meeting and see for yourself.
Our meetings have been extremely
interesting and certainly you will find
helpful hints at each one of them.
There is no reason for fighting among
ourselves when we have local to 60
to for advice and aid.
We are glad to see the bowling team
coming along at nice pace. We
could use more good sports in our or
ganization.
Make certain you attend the next
few meetings when plans for spa
ghetti supper and masquerade dance
will be discussed.-O. c. l08.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-One hundred per
cent condemnation of certain anti
union employers for their activities in
undertaking to secure new legislation
to repress the workers and to amend
kexisting labor laws so as to deprive
<he workers of rights now legalized
was voiced by the Executive Council
of the American Federation of Labor
in presenting their report to the an
nual convention of the Federation
here.
Although the increased strength re-
flected by the growth of membership
and collective bargaining is a COM
mendable achievement, the Council
warned that the menacing activities of
,anti-labor groups necessitates united
action by labor for the protection of
rights already secured and the neces-
sary enlargement Of those rights.
On this subject the Council said:
"The increase in union growth DUR
ing the past year has been accom-
panied by increased hostility to the
labor movement. While industrial man.
agements generally are accepting the
principle of collective bargaining and
are turning their attention toward
getting constructive results through
this medium, new group of employ
erS has taken the initiative in repres-
sive labor legislation and for amend
ments restricting and limiting exist
ing labor laws. The results of this
reactionary swing are obvious in re-
pressive labor laws in states and dis
-passabfrment Of state departments of
labor, In the disfavor shown the United
States Department of Labor and in
) he failure of Congress to enact need
ed labor legislation.
"Such reactionary proposals are
both ont of keeping with our present
institutions and current thinking and
can but restrict national recovery and
progress.

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 9 1.NSD.
Sturdy young Jimmy Demaret OF
Houston, today went into the final
eighteen holes of the Los Angeles
Open Golf tournament with a five
stroke lead on one of the most
brilliant amateur and profess
Sional golf fields ever assembled
in the West.
He had behind him his "one
bad round"-the bugaboo all
tournament leaders fear-and was
still far in front of his nearest
rivals. His bad round came yester-
day and from start to finish he
was "scrambling. But he came
home with IL, even par, to
actually increase his lead over the
four stroke margin he had set up
at the end of 36 holes.
Demaret, with a 54-hole total of
205 strokes, was five strokes out
in front of Harold jug Nc
Spaden of Boston, who scored a

son of Chicago, who had 70 to

"oN''biecI OCohOr the Maryland

three-man commission, the chair

including the chief. One is in
charge of the saliva test barn.
BY eliminating two inspectors the
tracks would save $4,000. AS the
State received IS per cent of the
net revenue, Maryland would get
$3.50 more each year as its share
of taxation.
By having only one paid COM
missioner, the State would save
$4,000 according to the salaries
paid now, but it is probable that
a one-man commissioner would
receive more than $4,000 to super

Davey can get off his passes bet
