Wurdeski President
Of Local Union l22
Cambridge Members. Plant
OMcidls Look Ahead
To Prosperous Year

Cambridge, 0. - Now that old
Father Time has written finis to an
other page in his ledger, members of
Local Union No. 1872 and the officials
of the plant are looking forward to a
better and more prosperous new year.
The year just passed has been a good
year to us, but we earnestly believe
1889 will be better.
Officers for the coming six months
are as follows: Ralph Wardeski,
president; Harvey Wyland, vice presi-
dent; Elmer Lewis, financial secretary;
Arthur Ferber, corresponding secre-
tary; Alexander Robinson, defense
secretary; James Grimes, guard.
Our next regular meeting will be
on Monday, January IL and every
member is urged to be present as
business of Importance will be taken
up. A special committee is expected
to make report on a proposition that
is of the greatest concern of every
employe. Remember, we would much
rather have your presence than your
penalty.
Will try to have more shop news for
you the next time.-O. c. 1872.

Last Meetings Of
l. u. No. 1871 Are
> Best of Old Year
The Local Looks Forward to
Even Better Results
In 1899
PRESIDENT ATTENDS
Very Important Questions
Cleared BY OHicial AT
Lost Meeting

Local Union No. 131 has had ex-
ceptionally fine meetings all through
the year, but it took the last two gath
erings of 1888 to prove what can be
done. These two meetings were easily
the most successful of the year and
prove to us that the new year should
bring us even better results. Success
and understanding will greet our ef-
forts this year, we are certain.
The article from Local Union IL
in last weeks Herald stated that the
Jiggermen are anxious to have the
agreement with our local settled. This
is good news, because an agreement is
something we need badly if we are to
enjoy the benefits Of a labor organ
ization. We firmly believe that if the
two wage committees can meet in the
near future, a three-pay, trial period
settlement can be worked out. After
the trial period, the committees can
again meet to iron out the rough spots
that are bound to show.
President James M. Duffy visited
our meeting on the twenty-second of
December. Several important ques-
tions that had been before the local
for some time were cleared up nicely
by the official. The visits of Brother
Duffy are always welcome and it is
the hope Of every member that he will
be seen again soon.
Officers were chosen for the next
six months at our last meeting. Those
elected are as follows: James Buch-
heit, president; William Duke, vice
president; Harry Byers, financial Sec
retary; Robert Garner, recording Sec
retary; Cecil Calhoon, treasurer; Rob-
ert Martin, inspector; Albert Weber,
guard; Jack Hebron, Bert Mcconnell,
James Buchheit, trustees.
A few of our members are behind
in their payment of dues. We feel that
the local cannot carry them any long
er, so unless some arrangement is
made by January IL, suspensions will
be handed out.
Brother Parsons, who has been on
the sick list for some time, is improv-
ing and we hope to have him back
with us before long.
We hope everyone had fine time
New Years Eve and will enjoy 1899
to the fullest. See you at the meeting
Thursday.-O. C. 1Sl.

SUPPORTING SALUTE
Blanks Distributed to All the
Members On Shops
By Local

Local Union No. 9 elected and in
stalled officers for the term which will
end June 80, 1889, at the last meeting
of the local. Those installed were:
Matt Curran, president; Charles Pode-
wei, vice president; P. X. Calhoon,
financial secretary; Roy Broadbent,
recording secretary; William Arb, in
spector; James Dwyer, guard; Ben
Jones, trustee. These officers need
your support and attendance to aid
them in carrying out their duties to
the local. Let's all assist them in
every possible way.
1t is the wish Of every member of
the Local to extend to the entire men,
bership Of the Brotherhood a Happy
and Prosperous New Year. Heartfelt
sympathy is extended to the friends
and families of those members who
have passed away the past twelve
months.
Several of our members are now on
the sick list. 1t is quite possible that
their recovery could be speeded and
surely it would be more pleasant, if
some Of you could find time to visit
them at their homes.
1t was reported at previous meet
ing that officers of the Social Security
Board of this district, and members
Of the Unemployment Commission Of
the Tri-State district will show mo-
tion pictures and answer all ques-
tions pertaining to their work at
meeting to be held in the Brotherhood
Hall, January 10. All members of the
Local are invited.
The local recinded its previous
action regarding W. c. Lisk and
James Parsons since these members
refused to live up to their agreement
with the organization.

Newly Elected President.
Mccoy. Takes Chair
For Term
SETTLEMENT NEAR
Jiggermen Feel Bodrd Will
Have Workable Solu-
ton Soon

Local Union No. IL opened the New
Year by installing officers. Brother
Joshua Chadwick, our eighth vice
president, obligated those who will
serve US until the end of June.
This local is backing the Silve,
Salute to the President because we
believe it to be a worthy cause. Let's
make it one hundred per cent.
Several important problems were
taken up, but we feel sure that the
solution Of the agreement with the
boys is the biggest one we have to
consider. We are certain the Execu-
tive Board will handle the question
fairly and make a settlement agree
able to all concerned. We are looking
for solution in the near future.
Brother Saul Mccoy took over the
tasks of president and handled him
self well. Our retiring leader, Otis
Blankenship, was capable and an ex-
ceptionally fine chairman. 1t would
have done you good to see these two
stalwarts shake hands when Mccoy
took the chair
Brother Chadwick gave US splen-
did talk on organization and then bid
US good bye for a time. He is going
into the field as an organizer and our
best wishes go with him, se.
Past Presidents, Japto ~, lily and
Ernest Terrence along VIZ. our old
standby, Guy Digman, made a few re.
marks, all concerned with the best in
terests of our local. Bill Campbell
was in tc m, but didn't get up to see
us. He Is now financial secretary of
Local 103, Erwin.
We are looking forward to better
attendance this year. President Me-
Coy will soon appoint a committee to
draw. up resolutions to be presented
at the next convention.
We wish to again remind any men,
bers out of work that they should reg
lister at Headquarters. We must have
your name in order to take care of
you.
The past year, the local has been
in the habit of sending out cards to
all sick members. This will be con-
tinued after hearing favorable COM
ment last meeting night. Brother
Simon Hall was one of the members
who boosted the practice and proved
to US that a fine feeling among the
membership is fostered in this way.
The Hall China Co. was we'll rep
resented at the last meeting Brothers
Bowersock, Pelly and Smith are
among our regulars who seldom miss
a meeting.
Don't fail to be present at the next
meeting. We are planning banquet
in the near future and the entertain
ment committee has something up its
sleeve. You will not want to miss it.

Asks Bethlehem
Steel Abandon the
Company Unions
Examiner Recommends The
Company Stop All
Interference

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-Frank
Bloom, Trial Examiner of the National
Labor Relations Board, has made
report recommending that the Beth
lehem Steel Corporation be required
to give up its 20-year old "employe
representation plans," and stop inter-
fering with the rights of it's workers
to organize as they please.
Nine plants, in Pennsylvania, New
York and Maryland-though most of
the workers are in the first state-and
a possible 100000 employees are af-
fected by this report.
The trial examiner makes it clear
that the "plans" are an integral part
Of our business" as Eugene G. Grace,
president of the company, had said.
Plans Still Company Directed
When the Supreme Court upheld
the Wagner act, Grace changed his
words but not his methods. Citing the
facts on these, Mr.. Bloom says:
"ln view Of the unquestioned facts,
the plans have not freed themselves
from the domination and control of
the respondents; they are, in short,
still AN integral part of our (respon-
dents) business The respondents
have so completely established their
control and domination over the Plans
that the Plans are completely incap-
able Of functioning as free and inde-
pendent labor organizations
The trial examiner then goes on to
tell how the Citizens Committee was
organized for the avowed purpose of
helping to break the strike. He tells
how Mayor Daniel Shields of Johns
town went to all lengths for the same
reasons.
Company Backed Committee
c. R. Ellicott, general manager, tes-
tilted that he suggested to Mayor
Shields that the Mayor purchase the
tear gas "and let the paying of it
take care of ITSELF" The examiner
quoted from the testimony of Sidney
Evans, assistant to the general man
ager, to show that he had paid
s5,300.33 in cash to a Mr.. Charles
Adams of the Pennsylvania Railroad
for tear gas delivered by the Federal
Laboratories to the Mayor of Johns
town, not inquiring whether the gas
had been delivered or whether Adams
was authorized to collect the money.
Although the company contended
that it was not connected in any way
with the Citizens Committee, evidence
before the trial examiner disclosed
that, in fact, company officials had

Senufe Confirms
Six Sfofe Board
Loboring Members
ThirtY-three Hour Deadlock
Broken To Gdin Confirmd-
ton Of Appointments
(By Ohio Labor News Seryice)

Wy oulO AdUOE NEWS OCT VlCC/
Columbus, O.-Breaking a deadlock
which had extended for more than
thirty-three hours, twenty-five Demo-
cratic members of the Ohio Senate
confirmed twenty-nine appointees of
Governor Martin L. Davey in the final
fifteen minutes of the 92nd General
Assembly's existence.
Included in the combinations were
the appointments of six members of
Organized Labor to Regional Claims
Boards of the Industrial Commission,
the State Institutional Building Au-
thority and as trustee of the Soldiers
and Sailors Orphans Home at Xenia.
Claims Board members are: Otto
w. Brach, Toledo, term ending 1913;
Jack r. McCahan, Canton, term end
ing 1941; Jack Steel, Cleveland, term
ending 1889, and Joseph Inderreiden,
Cincinnati, term ending 1889.
Ed Switalski, Portsmouth, member
and secretary of the Building Au-
thority, whose appointment extends
until 1943, and Ora B. Chapman, Day
ton, retiring Director of Industrial
Relations, as trustee of the Xenia
Home until, 1943, were the other AFL
members confirmed.
The deadlock was created by the re-
fusal of a group of eight Senators to
confirm the reappointment Of Charles
S. Leasure, GAINESVILLE as a member of
the Ohio Unemployment Compensation
Commission, and was broken only
when Governor Davey withdrew
Leasure's name for that of Keith Law
renee, Cleveland, Majority Floor
Leader in the Senate for the past two
wears. Lawrence's term on the Com
mission extends until 1914.
Failure of Governor Davey to ask
the Senate to confirm the reappoint-
ment of John E. Breidenbach, Day
ton, as a member of the Advisory
Council of the Unemployment Com
pensation Commission, was said to
have been one of the concessions de.
manded by insurgent Senators fol
confirmation of other appointees. s
Breidenbach's leadership Of "AFI
Affiliates" in behalf of the candidacy
of John w. Bricker was given as the
reason for the opposition of the Demo
cratic Senators. Briedenbach's re-
appointment was announced by Gov
ernor Davey several weeks ago. He
will continue to serve on the Council
until appointed or replaced by Cover
nor-elect Bricker.

known as "minarets,'' were added
outside the main building and the
church itself was changed in some
ways. For the most part, however,
the Mosque of Santa Sophia is the
old Christian church in the hands
of Mohammedans.
When the Turks were capturing
Constantinople thousands of Chris
tians crowded inside Santa Sophia.
They barred the doors, and hoped
that in this holy place (Which was
said to contain the cradle of Jesus)
they would be safe from the enemy.
A few hours later, on that dark May
day, Turkish soldiers broke down
the doors. The people inside were
killed or made prisoners. The lead
er of the Turks struck one Of the
columns with his sword and shouted
the old Mohammedan battle cry,

manned is his prophet"

UNCLE RAYS CORNER
LIFE'S LIKE THAT

Before the start of the World
War, a Russian Car gave Turkey
q special name. He called it "the
Sick Man of Europe" The idea in
the name was at least partly true;
Turkey then ruled a large area in
Europe and many Christians in that
part of the empire did not want to
be under the power of the Turks.
Turkey today covers small corner
of Europe, but most of its land is in
Asia Minor. The total area of the
present Turkey is greater than that
Of either Germany or France and
1t contains nearly 100000 people.
For several hundred years the
capital of the Turkish empire was
Constantinople. Counting all its
suburbs, this famous city has pop
ulation of more than a million. 1t
centers around an ancient settle
ment on jut of land in South
eastern Europe.
Ten years ago the official name of
Constantinople was changed to
1stanbul. Some lately made maps
use 1stanbul as the name, but peo-
pie outside of Turkey have been slow
IN giving up the old name.
The first city at this site was
called Byzantium and was started
by Greek settlers almost $500 years
ago. Nine centuries later, Roman
Emperor - Constantine gave his
own name to the city. Constanti-
nople (the city Of Constantine) was
captured by the Turks In 1853.
