Know, then, your union, for knowledge protects,
it strengthens your hand, sends you forward with
a greater assurance, a higher hope.
Unionism demands of its followers, not only un-
deviating loyalty, but that each member shall, at
all times, work for its best interests. To do this,
knowledge is essential and that knowledge is
best obtained in the union halls, for, it is there
you meet and learn to know and appreciate your
fellow unionists; to share their enthusiasm—to
map—to plan—to know whether those placed in
positions of trust are serving you well.

Washington, D. C. (AFLNS).—An
outstanding victory for organized la-
bor appears to have been recorded for
the employes of the Washington Milk
Bottle Exchange, following a short
strike, called by Local 82 of the Build-
ing Service Employes’ Union. The ex-
change handles daily the redistribu-
tion of approximately 65,000 bottles to
local dairies.
A statement by James Kimbro, col-
ored organizer for the American Fed-
eration of Labor and president of the
local, said that the men walked out
in protest against an average weekly
wage of $17 ofr a week ranging from
50 to 61 hours.
The union demanded a flat rate of
45 cents an hour, a 48-hour week and
the closed shop.
F. L. Oyster, the manager of the ex-
change, following a conference with
attorneys for the exchange and mem-
bers of the board of directors of that
concern, agreed to meet the demands
of the union.
Truckloads of empty bottles sent to
the exchange by several local dairies
shortly after the strike was declared,

plete tie-up of the plant.
conditions reached at a recent Atlanta
conference, where terms for the
Southeastern district were reached.
Many of the men have drawn less than
$15 a week, it is stated. A newspaper
campaign by employers purported to
show that men received up to $35 a
week. This statement was denied by
the men, who uncovered the tricky
methods by showing that the man who
drew $35 one week had actually put in
nine days and over 100 hours.

Aubentic reports regarding the
amount of money left in New York
City by those attending the recent
convention of the American Legion re-
vealed the major reason why every
’arse city has a bureau operated by
hnsiness interests for the sole purpose
of soliciting conventions.
; A ecordin to figures compiled by
Richard C. Burritt, executive director
of the New York Convention and Tour-
ist Bureau, the Legionnaires, their
wives and children and other visitors
dropped around $6,500,000 during the
few days of the Legion convention.
A break down of the figures reveals
that about $1,364,000 was spent for
hotel rooms and ordinary hotel serv-
ices. Merchants of various sorts were
paid $1,210,000.
। Liquor expenditures totaled $1,149,-
, 500. Restaurants and cafeterias cap-
tured $1,100,000. At the bottom of the
classified list came transportation of
all sorts for which the convention
crowd spent $220,000.
Evidently the convention business is
a profitable municipal institution.

Marissa, Ill. (AFLNS).—The abso-
lute loyalty of workers in this terri-
tory to the American Federation of
Labor and their distaste for dual or-
ganizations, was again evidenced re-
cently when the mine of the Marissa
Coal Company was closed and a mu-
nicipal waterworks project halted.
When 2,000 members of the Progres-
sive Miners of America congregated
to protest employment of CIO miners,
the mine was shut down.
Construction oh ths waterworks
project was at * virtual standstill
when A. F. of L. union workmen
walked off the job when a subcon-
tractor attempted to use workmen
said to be associated with an Inde-
pendent organization but not affiliat-
ed with the A. F. of L. As about 50
A. F. of L. union workmen were em-
ployed on the $101,000 project, and
only 12 “independent union” men, the
walk-out proved effective.
Los Angeles, Calif. (AFLNS).—An
outstanding labor victory was record-
ed here recently with the signing of a
union agreement by the Los Angeles
Paper Bag Company with the local
union of the International Brother-
hood of Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Mill
Workers.
The agreement, brought about only
after an effective strike lasting secen
weeks, resulted in wage increases of
17 per cent for the workers and a 100
per cent union shop.
For more than 60 years this com-
pany, through the expenditure of mil-
lions of dollars in developing its trans-
portation system, and through the
constant training of its employees in
the art of furnishing high-class pub-
lic transportation service, has aided
greatly in the building and progress
of the city it is privileged to serve.
Of all the stars that have been

Indianapolis. Ind. (AFLNS).—With
nearly every victory marked by a mili-
tant and determined spirit, yet with
every possible courtesy to all employ-
ers who wish it, local unions affiliated
with the Teamsters and Chauffeurs
have been driving forward to gain
hundreds of new members and many
new contracts.

men and Employees’ Union, Local No.
774, falling to peacefully negotiate a
contract with the Indianapolis Milk
Council, declared a “holiday” that
lasted twelve days and resulted in un-
ion men being employed by all firms
concerned except five, against whom
a strike was continued with determi-
nation to secure closed shop con-
" tracts.
Teamsters and Chauffeurs’ Union,
Local No. 135, found it necessary to
call strikes at sixteen furniture stores
where better wages and closed shop
contracts are being sought in the face
of bitter opposition.
This local recently signed closed
shop contracts with the Express Par-
cel Delivery Company; the Eaton
Transfer Company and Bessire &
Company. A strike involving 12 driv-
ers for the Beech Grove bus line was
— backed by a committee of citizens,
who demanded either removal of the
adamant manager of the Une or can-
cellation of the franchise. .

New York, N. Y. (AFLNS).—The
newly created State Labor Relations
Board tackled a knotty problem here
recently in its first attempt to settle
a jurisdictional dispute between labor
unions.
The case concerned miscellaneous
employees of an apartment hotel at 1
Fifth Avenue. • complete jurisdiction
over hotel and apartment hotels hav-
ing been awarded by the American
Federation of Labor several months
ago to the Hotel and Restaurant Em-
ployees’ International Alliance and
Bartenders -International League of
America.
In this instance Local No. 32-A of
the Building Service Employes’ Inter-
national Union, which sometime ago
conducted a strike of general building
service workers, claimed the miscel-
laneous employees of the apartment
hotel.
It is customary for boards and com-
missions. which infrequently get juris-
dictional cases, to follow definitely. es-
tablished ruling, such as that of the
American Federation of Labor.
