REFERENDUM
Petition on the Sale of Elec
tric Distributing System
Being Circulated
At a special called meeting of
Trades Council on Tuesday night, a
ferendum petition to submit to the
ters on November 4, 1924, the ques-
I 'li of the sale of the city's electric
lit distributing system, which pe
lion is now being circulated for
-.natures, the support of prganized
i!)or was asked for. The electrical
vtrkers' delegates reported their or
ganization is supporting the move
nt which was started by those who
ars opposed to the city abandoning
it.- own electric plant, and they asked
that Trades Council concur in their
action.'
After much discussion of the
ubject, pro and con, a motion that
Trades Council concur in the action
t.f the Electrical Workers' Union and
approve of same carried.
The petitions are now being circu
lated and rapidly signed. Many are
signing, not because they exactly dis
approve of selling the electric distrib
uting system, but because they want
the matter to have longer considera
tion they are not sure just which is

ple will have had ample time to think
it over and decide just what they want

the referendum the people are to have
the last and final say. The action of

CHARLES VAUGHN
Laid to Rest Saturday After*
., noon in Greenwood
... Cemetery
Charles Vaughn, who was killed
late Wednesday night of last week by
being struck by a Detroit passenger
train at the Baltimore & Ohio cross
ing at South Hamilton, was laid "to
rest in beautiful Greenwood cemetery
last Saturday afternoon. The serv
ives at the home on Buckeye street
were largely attended, the house and
surrounding lawn being packed with
the relatives and friends calling to
pay their last sad respects to the
Aead.
"Charlie" Vaughn, a few years
back, was one of the most active fig
ures in local organized labor circles.
He was a machinist by trade and for
a number of years was president of
the local Machinists' Union and held
many other minor offices of trust in
the organization of his craft. He was
for many years a delegate to the local
Trades Council, and for several years
its president. His reputation as a
labor leader was not only local, but
state-wide. He was at one time a
vice president of the Ohio State Fed
eration of Labor. He attended many
state conventions as delegate and his
voice was lifted many times in the
cause of the workers. He was also
for several years general organizer in
this.district for the American Federa
tion of Labor, during which time he
organized quite a number of local
unions in this city and vicinity, and
whose members today are being rich
ly benefitted through organization
formed, as a result of the untiring
effoi'ts of "Charlie" Vaughn.
For many years Vaughn was em
ployed at the American Can Com
pany's plant. When the strike was
ordered at all plants of this company
Vaughn was thrown out of employ
ment, and because of his union activ
ities found it difficult to secure a job
in the local shops. This decided him
to enter business for himself. He
opened a cafe and was in this business
at the time he was killed.
At the time of his death he was
a member of the Machinists' Local No.
242, the Eagles and Moose lodges, in
which organizations he always took
active part and in whose circles he
will be much missed.
To the widow and relatives remain
ing to mourn his loss, the deep sym
pathy of local organized labor is ex
tended.
ARTHURBURNS
Vice President Mulders' In
ternational Addressed
Union Members at Big
Meeting Monday
One of the largest gatherings of
local molders at one time for a long
while in Hamilton was that at the
joint meeting of Stove Molders' Union
No. 283, and Iron Molders' Union No.
68, held in labor temple last Monday
night. 'More than 20b molders were
present, packing the spacious hall.
The purpose of the meeting was to
meet and hear Arthur Burns, vice
president of the $ International Union
of Molders. His talk was on the Hol
land Furnace Company case, which
the molders throughout the country
are giving much»attention, time and
money these days. The Holland fur
nace is being made by non-union mold-
3
and the Molders' International
Union has declared the furnace un
fair to its organization. Vice Presi
dent Burns has been assigned to this
controversy between the Holland
Company and his union, and is to de
vote his entire time to it alone. An
intensive state-wide campaign is to
be wages against the product and es
pecially so in this, the Miami valley.
The local molders' organizations
will give the campaign active sup
port. They would have the public
know that, while the local agency ad
vertises the furnace will be installed
by union workmen and union-made fit
tings used, that the advertisement is
misleading in that it tends the public
to believe that the Holland is a union
made furnace, which is not true. It
may be true that it will be installed
by union men and that union-made
fittings are used, but the furnace is
not union made because it is not made
by union molders.
The members 8f the local Molders'
Unions ask that all union men and
their friends aid them in this cam
paign to inform the public of the
true conditions, in that the Holland
furnace is not made by union molders,
is unfair to their organization, and
that those contemplating buying a
furnace buy only those that are union
made.
