Hundreds Of Thousands Of New
Members Gained by A. +. Of l..
Over 400 New Local Trade and
Federal Labor Unions Char
tered; Wages Increased; Living
Standards Raised.
BY A. F. of L. Weekly News Service.

CINCINNATI, Ohio.-Just pride in
their achievements in organizing
many thousands of working men
and women into bona fide trade
unions during the past years was
expressed by the Executive Council
of the American Federation of Labor
in their report to the annual con-
vention of the American Federation
of Labor.
Included among the notable gains
were four hundred new local trade
and federal labor unions chartered
directly by the A. F. of L.
Wages were raised and living
standards advanced for thousands of
workers through the medium of
agreements negotiated with employ
ers.
In outlining the general achieve
ments of the A. F. of L. organizing
campaign during the year, the Exec
utive Council said:
Earnest aggressive and continu-
Gus efforts have been put forth in
the organizing campaign which has
been carried on by the American
Federation of Labor during the past
year
"Along with national and inter
national unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor
most successful campaign has been
waged among the unorganized work
ers of the nation.
"The success of this campaign is
reflected in the increase of the mem
bership of the American Federation
of Labor. Hundreds of thousands of
new members have been added and
agreements have been negotiated be-
tween newly organized workers and
their employers.
'In many instances these agree
ments represented the first contracts
which had been negotiated between
employers and employees through
collective bargaining.
Through this procedure wages
have been increased, living standards
have been lifted to higher level,
and thousands of workers have en-
joyed for the first time the exercise
of their right to be economically
free and to negotiate agreements
with employers in accordance with
democratic procedure and in con-
formity with the principles of col
lective bargaining.
GAS reported to the convention
held in Houston Texas, during the
month of October, 1888, an Organi-
zation Department was created and
Director of Organization placed in
charge. This administrative proce-
dure has proved to be quite success
full.
organizing work has been car
ried on in every field. We have first
organized workers who do not come
under the jurisdiction of national
and international unions into local
trade and federal labor unions When
a sufficient number of local trade
and federal labor unions have been
formed, national councils are set up.
"Over four hundred new local
trade and federal labor union char
ters have been issued during the past
year. These unions have been estab-
lished among cement, beet sugar,
aluminium, fabricated metal, textile,
agricultural cannery and citrus,
chemical, distillery, and miscella-
neous industries as well as office
and white collar workers" "

59th CONVENTION OPENS AT CINCINNATI
ENGINEERS EXPLAIN DISPUTE OVER
HEATING SYSTEM IN 0W5LEY BLOCK
Question Arises About Granting of License Mr. Fred Grandpr
Are Wealthy Owners to Be Permitted to Jeopardze Lives?

To the Tenants of Owsey Building
We herewith your attention the controversy existing between
of the Owey building and Butte Engineers Union
No. 49,
machinery this locality
members Butte Engineers Union for
forty years
heating buildings the early
employed steady
working time the place and smaller buildings

same being based upon the numbers
of rooms in the building.
When the Montana Power Com
pany installed a central heating
plant over twenty-five years ago, a
number of these buildings discon-
tinued using their individual heat
ing boilers and received steam direct
from the central heating plant. Since
the introduction of natural gas in
the city several years ago some of
these buildings have reverted to
their own heating unit, in some cases
converting the formerly coal fired
boiler to gas fired, and in others
getting a new boiler designed to be
heated by gas only.
The danger inherent in steam
boiler, if not properly supervised
and operated, is recognized by the
state Boiler Inspectors examination
of these boilers and the requirement
of an engineers license by the per-
son who attends them.
The Owsley block for number
of years had been heated by steam
furnished from the central heating
plant of the Montana Power Com
pany, but last year gas fired boiler
was installed in the former boiler
room in the basement of the Owsley
building since which time the build
ing has been heated by this unit.
When this heating unit was placed
in operation last year the request
was made that a member of our
union have charge of operation of
same and we were informed by Mr..
Fred Grandpre, agent of the build
ing, that it was automatic and did
not require any attention.
Being less labor with gas than
coal fired boilers we have adjusted
the rate on these small units at half
the rate charged for coal.
We contend that for public safety
such units should be operated under
the attention of a competent person.
The state Boiler Inspector exam
ined the boiler of this heating unit
in the basement of the Owsley
building several months ago at
which time he found a L. P. class
engineer license of the state of Mon
tana displayed near the boiler, which
license had been issued to Fred
Grandpre, October 7, 1888.
This unwarranted invasion of our
jurisdiction is as unfair to the
tenants of the building as it is to
the members of Engineers Union
because it makes the tenants an
innocent victim of this unnecessary
struggle and we hereby appeal to
you to use your influence to have
the agent and the wealthy owner
of the building conform to the
method and practice which has been
in operation so many years.
We have always been successful
in peacefully adjusting our differ
ences with employers locally, even
when large payrolls are involved,
and we see no good reason why this
case, involving less than one hun
dred dollars per month, should not
be adjusted. We are going to con-
tinue this fight until a member of
our union is employed to operate
this boiler, so that our members will
be still engaged in such work after
natural gas has become exhausted
and coal is again used.
We hope you will be permitted to
share in the prosperity, which for
the near future seems in store for
Butte, and that Mr.. Grandpre will
also be enabled to eke out a living
in his own line of work without the
necessity of continuing to invade
our jurisdiction.
Respectfully submitted,

on a fumbled punt in the final
minutes Of play to overtake the
Engineers 1914 lead.
Every game in the six-year old
rivalry has been an exhibition of
brilliant football but the three that
have been played in Atlanta have the
edge on the trio played at Duke.
In fact, the first two games in
Atlanta in 1888 and 1885 were up
sets that startled the nation. In that
first meeting Duke had won nine
straight games and needed only
victory over an "in-and-out" Tech
teaf for national honors. But the
Engineers were Sin" that day and
whipped the boys in blue, 60. In
1885 the Blue Devils returned to
Atlanta after Walloping four straight
foes and suffered an upset defeat by
the same margin with the touchdown
being scored on about the same spot
on the field with about the same
play being used. Then came that 1887
thriller.

Marshall Is
Tough Team,
Deacs Think

Wake Forest, Nov. 1.-Coach
dismayed but unbowed after their
90 defeat at the hands Of Dukes
badlyoutplayed Blue Devils last
Saturday, are now turning their at
tentlon to their coming encounter
with Marshall colleges Big Green
Saturday of this week in Hunting
| ton, W. Va
The Big Greens, tutored by Graf
ty Cam Henderson, have been beat
en- but once this year, dropping an
i unlucky 900 decision to the I'M
defeated Scranton University eleven
last Saturday. That contest was
played in a heavy downfall of snow
on field already soaked with rain,
which made both clubs hall handl-
ing almost impossible, and led to
MarshalPs defeat when the Scran-
ton boys blocked two of their Is
punts for touchdowns.
Trailing Is points, going into the
second half, the Greens tossed a
desperate pass that sailed into the
waiting hands Of a Scranton half
back, yielding the winners their
final marker. Neither ball club
could do anything on the ground
plays, and it was these three breaks
that turned an otherwise even ball
game into a one-sided victory.
With exception of this one loss,
Marshall has an unolemished rec
ord The victories were over Gene
va college Alb, V. P. l. 900, Sa-
lem college $40. Miami (Ohio) 81
0, and Dayton University 1913.
incidentally, paper comparisons
may be nCred from the 300 defeat
pasted on V. P. l., which club was
barely turned back 1876 by North
Carolina. The Tar Heels whipped
Wake Forest 1876, and at the pres
ent are undefeated and among the
ten Top teams N the nation.
While citation is evident among
alumni and friends Of Wake Forest
when the Dulke-Deacon setto is
mentioned, members Of the Baptist
squad cannot help but feel that last
Saturday their ball CLUB was super
Tor to the Blue Devils It's true
they failed in the major objective Of
the game-to get the most points
but they completely dominated the
situation from the statistical side Of
the picture, gaining gross yard

while rolling up II first downs to
for the Devils.
But all that is as is. The Deacons
have three more tough games and
we'll know it-With Marshall this
week, Clemson Nov. II at Clemson,
and Davidson in Charlotte, Thanks
giving Nov. 30). Right now Coach
Peahead Walker Of Wake Forest is
working his charges for these
games, not what might have been
done at Duke last week.

Perfect Team

Raleigh, Nov 1.-North Carolina
States Wolfpack will play a perfect
football team Saturday in Chapel
Hill, reported Scouts Herman and
Bob Warren, who saw the University
of North Carolina Tar Heels, Satur-
day foes of the Pack, defeat Penn
sylvania 3O-6 the past weekend.
Pennsylvania looked very much
like Duke Universitys team," Coach
Hickman said. But Penn wasn't in
Carolina's league. Carolina did
everything correctly and we'll.
Il don't see how team could be
better than Carolina was Saturday."
Coach Warren was particularly
impressed with the fine pass catch
ing Of Paul SEVERN Carolina end. He
reported that the crafty flankman
outmaneuvered the Penn backs and
was in good position for his catches.
The pass plays were we'll timed. he
pointed out. Once SEVERN caught a
touchdown pass just inside the end
zone, his motion carried him on out
of the field Of play before he could
stop.
The coaches also had many COM
pliments for the Duquesne team,
which they secuted Friday night in
Pittsburgh. State plays Duquesne
here November II. 81 never was so
surprised in my life" hickman de-
clared. "That Duquesne is a great
team and it is full of fight The best
man on the team was the coach's
brother, too" Aldo (Buff) Donelli
coaches the Dukes. His brothers
name is Allan and he is a shifty half
back.
While Carolina is a top-heavy fav-
orite to win Saturdays game State
supporters are hoping the Wolfpack's
defense will improve sufficiently to
hold down the score.
Meanwhile Coaches Doc Newton.
Warren and Hickman are making the
most of their two-week preparation
period by getting in every available
minute of practice time. State en-
joyed an open weekend from games,
but with Warren and Hickman off

toughest of the year for the famous
Iron Dukes" but the Blue Devils
finally got across a single touchdown
to win, 60.
While Duke and Georgia Tech
just started their rivalry in 1888, the
feud between Coaches Bill Alexand-
er of Tech and Wallace Wade of
Duke is one Of the oldest.
Maybe the reason for all the Gun
expected" happening when "Wade
and Alec" meet is something to do
with tradition. The first time the
pair met-back in 1923 when Wade
was tutoring his first Alabama team
they put on one of the oldest
games in southern football his
tory. That was the day Georgia Tech
made something like % first downs
to Alabama's none( correct) but the
final score was 90.

Negro boxing champion of Vance
county, did quick work on the ''Black
Flash" at Vance County Colored
Fair last week, according to infor-
nation received today of the fight
that headlined boxing card at the

The Kid took the flash after &
minute and few seconds of the first
round, getting a Knockout.
The "Black Flash" is said to be
one of those carnival side-shoW box
ers, and he whopped up his proves
once too often when he enticed "The
