Lobor's Economic
Righfs Defended
BY Judge Padway
A.F.L. Counsel Appears Be
fore Ohio Supreme Court
In Picket Cuse

Columbus, Ohio.-Labor's economic
right to call to public attention
through peaceful picketing the fact
that firm is unfair" to bona fide
trade union was defended by Judge
Joseph A. Padway, counsel for the
American Federation of Labor, in a
case heard last week by the Ohio Su-
premc Court.
Judge Padway came 10 Columbus to
act a. co-couns5l in the arguments be-
fore the Supreme Court at the re-
quest Of Cleveland attorneys Martin
l.. Blum and Leonard j. Stern, repre-
scnting the Cleveland Local Union Of
the Hotel and Restaurant Employees
international Alliance, defendants in
the case.
The Supreme Court admitted the
case for hearing on an appeal by Mrs.
Pearl Crosby, Cleveland restaurant
owner, who asked reversal Of Court
Of Appeals ruling that the Union was
entitled to three pickets at her place
Of business.
Decision Of the Court of Appeals
modified a strong injunction issued
against the Union by the Cuyahoga
County Common Pleas Court, which
had denied the right Of the Union to
picket the Crosby restaurant in the
absence Of strike.
The Union began picketing the res
taurant in October, 1887, when it was
refused recognition, and was restrain
ed from any picketing activities in
January, 1888, by the Common Pleas
/ Court decision.
On May %, 1899, the three-judge
Court Of Appeals held unanimously
that the Union was entitled to two
pickets at the main entrance of the
restaurant and one at driveway en-
trance, "for the purpose Of informing
the public that Crosby's do not en-
ploy Union help"
Attorneys for Mrs. Crosby contend
that the Union should not be allowed
to picket the restaurant inasmuch as
no employees of the restaurant were
members of the Union.
Judge Padway and Attorneys Blum
and Stern argued that the Union had
an undeniable economic right to de-
clare firm unfair" to its members
if the firm, as in the Crosby case, was
endangering Union wage scales by
paying its employees a lower rate.
Precedents established in similar
cases throughout the country were
cited by the Union attorneys. Nc
definite date has been set by the Su-
preme Court for a decision in the case

Federation Opens
New Nationwide
Organizing Drive
Collective Bargaining Will
Be Emphasized; Sit Downs
Rejected

Washington, d C.-The American
Federation of Labor announced the
Inauguration Of a new nationwide or
ganization drive.
More than 800 local committees in
every industrial community in the
United States have been enlisted in
the campaign, President William
Green revealed.
These committees, named by the
city central labor bodies affiliated
with the American Federation Of La
Dor, have been instructed to make a
survey of all unorganized plants in
their districts. Once this survey is
completed, meetings of the workers
will be called and trained organizers
of the American Federation of Labor
will be assigned to help them union
ize. sA.-A
owe are proceeding 70 organize the
unorganized workers Of the country
on a practical and orderly basis" Mr.
Green explained. "Our purpose is to
organize, not to mobilize. Our method
is to convince the unorganized work
ers that unionization and collective
bargaining can bring them great
benefits.
LET me make this clear. We are
confident that American workers are
intelligent enough to realize that self
organization will promote their best
interests. We will tell them the facts.
But we will refrain from sensational
ism and ballyhoo. Furthermore, the
American Federation Of Labor rejects
sit-down strikes or showdown strikes.
We believe such organizing methods
hurt the workers instead of helping
them. 1t is our purpose to stabilize
industry by collective bargaining, not
to destroy it and destroy the jobs of
our members by coercive and rcvolu-
tionary tactics"
At the same time, Frank p. Fen
ton, national director Of organization
for the American Federation Of La
Dor, announced a special organizing
drive in the textile industry.
In letter sent to all staff organ
izers of the Federation, Mr.. Fenton
disclosed he has received reports of
disaffection in textile unions affiliated
with the c. |. o. He wrote:
"Thousands of textile workers are
now desirous Of coming back to the
United Textile Workers of America
and the American Federation Of La
Dor and we feel that with a concerted
movement we can restore to this in
ternational union its former position
and membership"
c. M, Fox, president of the United
Textile Workers of America, an
nounced that the union has succeeded
in obtaining numerous pay increases
for its membership in the last few
months. He declared that the unions
executive board had instructed all 10
Gals to negotiate for 20 per cent wage
increases. This order affects the cot
ton, woolen, knit goods and other
branches Of the organization.

EXPECTING TOO
MUCH
LAURA GRAY

Two friends who had been separated
for years were having an intimate
talk in restaurant.
"What line is your son going to fol-
low?" asked Jones. "He's about
fifteen, isn't he?"
Fourteen; and The father i'm
piled with wave Of his hands that
this topic was hopeless affair. After
few moments he continued, "I'm
frankly disappointed in John. He
doesn't concentrate. He has plenty
of enthusiasm, but no stick-to-itive-
ness. l can't understand it. For a
while he showed keen interest in ra-
dio construction, and he was really
clever at it, too. l spared no money
in buying materials and books, and
he was to have had training in that
line as soon as he was through school.
But now he hasn't really touched his
radio for weeks. He tries to keep up
his interest, to please me, but it seems
as if he just can't. His heads been
full of cowboy stuff, ever since we
spent the holidays on the ranch. He
thinks Of nothing else; he seems pos
sessed. And that's the way he's al
ways been about everything he takes
up. Pm afraid he'll be drifter, a
ne'er-do-well, like his uncle Tomv'

"Nonsense, Brown i not with a
father like you. Pm not a father, but
I've taught all my life and know

we expect too much of them. l was

She's taken one of those foster child

wife was Mortified when the girl cut
bread and pushed the board-crumbs

ster sings the latest jazz about the
house and was caught doing a dance
with the dry mop in front of the mir
ror, scattering dust all around. My
wife thought she had better send the
girl back to the Home as unfit, until

"You think then that my John may
gain stability as he grows up?"
"Of course. When he's an adult
he'll act like one. If radio really
means much to him he'll come back

Dies From Heart A tack

Saturday, June 10, at six
O'Clock in the morning Aunt Eu
nicy Sutherland, wife of Richard
D. Sutherland, died Of heart fail
ure at her home in Haysi. She
had just gotten up out Of bed
and walked into the living room
where she was heard to remark
something about being tired. She
said that she believed that she
would lie down on the couch for
while to rest. Her heart must
have stopped afterward because
she never arose when called.
Mrs. Sutherland had been suf-
fering for several years with COM
plications and heart trouble but,
even so, her death came as a
shock to her numerous friends and
relatives. She was a woman of un-
usual prominence in her commun-
itv and it is said that throughout
her whole lifetime she never said
anything to any person to arouse
anger. She died in state OF pro-
found peace with her neighbors
and all who knew her, and lived
in such way that she had not
a single enemy at her death. More
over, she was a good wife and a
good mother, who was motherly
and kind to unfortunate persons
outside her own family. She was
frank, hospitable, and friendly to
men, women, and children alike,
and made hosts of friends during

the Cumberland Dunkard Church
near Skeetrock, and all members
of the church will join together
this year for the annual Dunkards
Supper for the first time in six
year. 1t seems that the trouble
among the members all began
over the appointment of a pastor
who was sent into Dickinson from

not. Some wanted to cling to old

some wanted to m slight

Through The Week
By Lundy A. Wright

Early this week the children as
we'll as the grown-ups of Clint
wood were thrown into a state Of
mild excitement by the appearance
of a little old man riding a little
cart through the streets of the
town. The cart was drawn by a
little pony, the kind that boys and
girls dream about possessing, and
the old man had a flowing beard
and a very friendly peaceable APP
pearance. The whole picture sug-
gested Santa Claus. People ran
out to take pictures. Some had
their pictures taken with the old
man. Among these was Hon.
Judge A. A. Skeen who got in the
cart to have his picture snapped.
The old man was "Uncle" Wash
Mullins of Caney Ridge coming to
town to get his share of surplus
products which he took home in
his cart.

LOADING ORE
Daily Hoist Being Placed in
Cars Pending Opening of
Lake Navigation.

The Zenith mine of the Pickands,
Mather company began car loadings OF
ore on Monday morning in preparation
for the opening of the 1889 shipping
season.
The daily output of the Zenith is
being loaded on cars, chiefly because
space is at premium, it
was explained by officials of the P. M.
company.
Several mines on the Guyana range
and at Ironwood, Michigan, also have
begun loading ore, the cars to remain
in the yards and on the docks pending
the arrival of boats expected to be
about the end of the month
Last year the first ore was shipped
from the Ely mines on May 5, according
to the weigh station of the D. M. & I.
R., and E. w Hanson, agent.
Estimates are being made that the
of 100000 tons of 1888 will
be doubled this year and that twice as
many ore boats are expected TO start
with the opening of this years shipping.
