News from Local Unions
Unions are requited to appoint correspondents who will submit items
qf interest to their crqfls, or interesting to the laboring classes generally
HOW THE LAW PASSED.
operation of interests makes it agree-
able for both employer and employee.
To the Labor Unit:
According to press reports the strike
of the miners in the Paint Creek dis-
trict of West Virginia has been set-
tled. The settlement affects 4000 men
out bf 10,000 and this means that it is
only a matter of a short time until the
other six thousand will be recognized
as union men.
The action of the state officials dur-
ing this strike has been a disgrace to
this country. The idea of sounding
a riot call and having the state militia
go to the capitol to eject a committee
of miners that had called to protest
to the legislature about the conditions
existing in the strike region should
be sufficient to convince anyone of the
character of\the men at the state capi-
ta) in Charleston. This committee was
composed of some of the best men in
the Mine Workers organization, and
their mission to Charleston was simply
as citizens of the country asking a
hearing before the legislative body
of the state, then in session; and they
jailed some of them. I do not believe
that this action was representative of
the people of West Virginia but rather
that it was a command of the coal
barons that feeem to own and control
the state government of West Vir-
ginia.
Speaking of the legislature of West
Virginia reminds me that we, in Okla-
homa, have a state legislature, and
that they have a knack of doing things
—things advocated by the coal barons
of this state—and they railroaded the
proposition through just to the coal
barons' own liking.
Representatives of the coal trust sat
inside the railings in the senate cham-
ber, *uul without any permit from the
legislature. It is supposed to be an
iron clad rule of the legislature and
absolutely necessary to obtain a per-
mit as a lobbyist, but not so with the
coal barons, they are privileged char-
acters in the eyes of the Oklahoma
legislature—and they sat there on the
floor of the senate of this state to be
near their alleged representatives
One 'man—Redwine—that's his name,
looked after the interests of the oper-
ators, and the working people of Pitts-
burg county should look after his po-
litical future.
Evidently the aim of the coal op-
erators is to force the unions to ask
for the repeal of the mine-run law—
as it is a foregone conclusion that they
and the operators will never be able
to agree on a scale for mine run coal
as the law now stands. I will discuss
later some more sections of the new
bill as it passed and try to show that
they are made in the interest of the
coal operator and against the miner.

There are twenty times more union
printers in Oklahoma City than non-
union and they spend twenty times
more money umong the merchants
and business men, therefore the shops
which employ union printers are de-
serving of the patronage of the mer-
chants and business men of the city.
Mr. Merchant demand the union label
on all your printing and help to sus-
tain the organization which helps sus-
tain you. The union label stands for
good workmanship and fair prices. If
you are in doubt in placing your or-
ders for job printing as to whether the
office is a union shop, call up the sec-
retary's office, phone Walnut 3114-J,
and he will gladly furnish you with a
list of all the union offices in the city.
Il costs you no more to get work done
in a union shop, quality considered.
Pat Salmon tells the following:
When in San Francisco he solicited
an order for cards from a Chinaman,
who was running a restaurant. He
secured the order and submitted a
proof of the job. It contained the un-
ion label. The Chinaman looked over
the job carefully then pointing to
the label "what for you got that bug
011 there." Pat explained that was the
union label, and by having the label
on the card would get the trade of la-
bor union men. The Chinaman stud-
died over the matter a little while and
Pat got up and started out. Before
he reached the door the Chinaman
rushed up, showing considerable ex-
citement, exclaimed, "say, put two
bugs on that card." Pat furnished the
cards with the "bugs" on 'em.
PRINTERS NO. 283.
President W. H. Gadd made a busi-
ness trip to Ardmore and vicinity
Sunday last, with other friends. He
reports a very pleasant trip.
Secretary Spivey spent Sunday and
Monday with relatives and friends in
Anadarko.
Marlon Tyler, S. P. Spooner and C.
H. Alberts drew their cards Monday
and joined the other members of the
Oklahoma City colony in Ft. Worth
Tuesday morning. It is reported that
they are negotiating a purchase of one
of the packing plants, either that or a
peanut roaster. They are "bully" fel-
lows and a trio hard to match.
Wm. M. Cathriner deposited a Little
Rock card Thursday.
W. O. Johnson who holds a sit on the
Times has announced his desire to
represent Typographical Union No.
283 as a delegate to the annual con-
vention of the State Federation of
Labor which meets in Muskogee.
There are three delegates to elect and
Mr. Johnson would like to be one of
the trio. He is a long time printer,
always has convictions of his own
and is not afraid to express them. He
would be heard when anything of im-
portance comes before the convention
and would be a creditable delegate to
send from this union. Oklahoma City
needs delegates who will take an a,c*-
ive paft in the proceedings and Mr.
Johnsoh is one of this kind.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting of the union to secure a new'
place for the monthly meetings of the
Typographical Union have chosen the
Knights of Columbus Hall, corner of
Fourth and Broadway, and the next
meeting (Sunday, April 6) will be
held there. All members of the union
are requested to remember the place
of meeting and govern themselves ac-
cordingly. The new place of meeting
is just across the street, west, from
the Oklahoman building.
Leo Morris is now connected with
the Green Print Co., at Cushing, Okla.
C. C. Guy, the label booster, is over
at (*hickasna, getting iij some good
work for the union label.
Oklahoma City Union No. 283 has
gcme on record as opposed to the pay-
ment of a poll tax of $1.50 to get to
vote. This iniquitous proposition is un-
worthy the sanction of any political
party. Resolutions were unanimously
adopted at tfie last meeting opposing
such a law.
Jake Rochstein, of the News chapel,
and wife, went over to Anadarko Sun-
day morning to visit Mrs. R.'s mother,
.lake returned Tuesday evening while
the wife will remain in Anadarko a
few days.
Ballots are now in the hands of the
various secretaries of labor unions for
the election of officers for the State
"Federation of Labor. The election
is near at hand. It is very important
that good officers are placed in charge
of the business of the Federation.
The secretary's office is perhaps the
most important and requires a man
who is thoroughly posted on all mat-
ters pertaining to union labor. Okla-
ohma City offers a candidate for this
position who has every qualification
to fill the office with perfect satisfac-
tion. A man who has served over one
year in the office and is thoroughly
acquainted with all the details of the
office and conditions of union labor
throughout the state. During his term
he has brought the work of the office
up to a high standard of perfection,
has been prompt in attending to the
details of the office work, and his offi-
cial record is without a blemish. With-
out casting any reflections on any of
his honorable opponents we can truth-
fully say that we believe he is the
best qualified for the position of any
candidate seeking the office. Okla-
homa City will show confidence in
Ollie S. Wilson by giving him a unani-
mous vote for secretary of the State
Federation of Labor. Place an X
opposite his name when you prepare
your ballot.

of Shawnee will represent the Okla-
homa State Federation at the meet-

ters Union No. 11)43, Henryetta, Ok-
lahoma, writes that working condi-
tions are very fair but that the town
is overcrowded with transient car-
penters at the present time. This
condition has been caused by realty
men who have been over-advertising
the town and a large number of work-
ing men have been brought in who
cannot secure steady employment.

panies have closed down, writes E. S.

A BLESSING MADE A CURSE.
Some time ago the 20-mule team of
the Death Valley Borax Ctfmpany
made a tour, for advertising purposes,
through several of tty states, and the
itinerary of the team brought it to
Cincinnati.
While there, the driver of the team
announced in the daily papers that
he would perform the feat, which was
a difficult one, of turning his 20-mule
team and wagon in a certain narrow
street, without getting tangled, and
invited the people to see him do it.
The actual accomplishment of this
feat gave Mr. Thomas Hun^ in a letter
to the Cincinnati Post an opportunity
to show that, talking of feats, tin4
Borax Company had already per-
formed a feat which immensely ex-
ceeded that of turning a 20-mule team
in a narrow fctreet.
The feat he referred lo was, that
the Borax Company had turned the
discovery of Borax in the United
States from being a blessing into a
curse.
The way they did this, the writer
described as follows:
"Previous to the building of the
Pacific railroads there was no borax
found in the United States. It was
all imported—and the people of the
United States got it at the world's
price, about three cents per pound.
"But when the Death Valley borax
was found, the rich and shrewd own-
ers of the property proceeded to in-
duce the Congress of the United
States to put a tariff of five cents per
pound on all borax imported. This
made all the borax used in this coun-
try cost at least eight cents per
pound. As that article is largely used
here, that five cents per pound adds
to the cost of every article into which
borax enters, and thus contributes
considerably to the cost of living, and
on that account is more or less of a
curse.
"So that the finding of borax in the
United States, instead of being a bless-
ing by making that article more abun-
dant and cheaper, was turned into a
curse by compelling the people to pay
twice as much for it.
"The feat of turning what would
have been a blessing into a curse is
the feat which was a greater one than
turnirig their 20-mule team around in
a narrow street without a mix-up.
"It is true, the 'protective tariff'
had to be called to the assistance of
the Borax Company, otherwise the
feat could not have been performed."

Washington, March 27.—By rulings
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, just prior to the taking office
of the new administration, women will
not be permitted to accept employ-
ment as wireless operators, either on
ocean or lake vessels. The protest
against women acting in such capacity
was made by the president of the Com
mercial Telegraphers, J. S. Konekainp
In addressing a letter to the president
he stated that until the unwritten law
of the sea, "women and children first,"
was changed, it would be absurd to
permit women to act in such a respon-
sible and dangerous occupation as
operators on lake or ocean going ves-
sels.
