Local 174's members and the Brother
hood officials in his undertakings to
create good merchandise along with
improved working conditions which
ultimately means material benefits to
the employees.
A closed-shop feature is also con-
tanned in the agreement along with a
proviso for one weeks vacation with
pay for employees who have one year
of employment recorded with the COM
pany.
Committees have been set up to cor
rect all claims for bad ware, griev-
ances, etc. -aN
Although several weeks expired
during the deliberations, Brotherhood
officials have expressed their appreci-
alton for the deliberate but progressive
relationship that prevailed in all
sessions during the negotiations. The
contemplated change in working
methods as advocated by the company
will probably work out to the benefit
of employer and employe which is ir
the final analysis the desire of legiti.
mate labor unions.
The optimism as expressed by ex.
perts in the industrial and economic
fields, indicates that within the next
three or four months very substan
tial increase in business and pro
duction should be noticed.
The members Of Local 174 approved
of the agreement and unanimously
recommended the signing of the pact

during the next three months at which
time they expect further increases il

While labor unity has still proved
unattainable, large numbers of work

"We can therefore prepare for the
New Year in a courageous and op-
timistic spirit. We will endeavor to
consolidate the gains made during
1889 and press forward for the
realization of higher achievements in
the coming year and the coming de-

continue its organizing campaign with
increasing aggressiveness and work

shorter hours, improved conditions of
employment, wider spread of employ

to sell out. One man moved his home
from New Castle to Sharon and built
a mill there, but later he was forced
to sell.
A tribute was paid to George Greer,
who by his ability was placed in
charge of the mill in New Castle and
refused to bring in strike breakers.
This town was known as a union
town, until absentee owners secured
control of the mills. Then it went
into the hands of the mill owners who
had the city council reduced to four
men and unions became thing of the
past. City officials were all under
the control of the owners of the mills.
The potters strike came along put
ting more union men on the streets.
Today schools which were built to
educate children of these men are
either being used for some other pur-
pose or the windows have been board
ed. A large power plant with great
smoke stack still stands at the site
of the steel plant. What will be done
with it no one knows. A drive is on
now to bring new industries to New
Castle.
The business men seem to realize
now that good wages to working men
helps all business. This is a new age
when men who have the wealth Gre
ated by the men who work, think they
can get along without working men
This seems to be developing a great
number of idle rich and idle poor, but
some of the rich like Schwab want
to die poor.
We have often wondered why in.
heritance tax laws were created, OF
just why income tax laws are ere
ated? We have such great Americans
like Morgan who cheats the govern
ment out of $2,O00,OO0 income tax ane
other rich men die without a cent
These fellows are not Socialists o.
Communists, but highly respected
Democrats and Republicans.

"Our financial report is in the pos
session of Secretary Perkins. She
had no such report from the G. I. O.
because they have issued none.
"Yet in the same breath that she
states we claim four million men,
bers she says the c. l. O. also claims
four million members.
"Thus she attempts to place both
organizations in a position of parity
when, as matter of fact, the paid-up
membership of the A. F. of L. is prob
ably four times that of the C. l. O.
"In reporting on peace negotiations
between the A. F. Of L. and the C. l..
o., the Secretary of Labor stops short
at a vital point when she is under
moral obligation to tell the whole
story.
"She refrained from reporting that
the C. |. o. broke off negotiations last
April and has refused to renew them
since.
Furthermore, she failed to report
that in response to her urgent request,
as well as that of the President, to
resume negotiations, representatives
of the A. F. of l.. agreed to meet any
where at any time with representa-
tives of the C. l. o.
"She failed to report that Mr.
Lewis answer was NO. that he
spurned the invitation of both the
President and herself and for that
reason peace negotiations have not
been resumed.
"Why has she withheld this vita,
information from Congress and the
public? We hope an appropriate Con
gressional Committee will summon
the Secretary of Labor to appear be-
fore it and wiring from her the trutl
she has suppressed"
