RETAIL CLERKS
MEET
Robert Fallert Tenders Res
ignation as Secretary
Retail Clerks' Local Union No. 119
net in regular session Monday night
md transacted a large amount of bus
iness. One candidate, Wm. Gard, em
ployed at Fahrney-Martiridale Hard
ware Co., was initiated and several
lew applications were read and re
t'erred.
The committee on agreement re
ported most all merchants signed for
wo years, but that several are hold
ng back because of the new clause
aider which those employing no
lerks must pay $10 per year for use
the card. Action was deferred in
these cases until next meeting night,
ifter which such stores will not be
•ecognized any longer as card stores
ind no longer deserving of union
men's patronage, and as such will be
advertised. The clerks take the stand
that if the merchants referred to no
longer care to be affiliated and known
as union stores, that is up to them.
A matter of much importance and
one that caused much regret and sor
row among the members was the ten
der of his resignation as secretary
by Robert Fallert. "Bob" has been
on this job for more than 22 years,
and no more faithful secretary of any
organization is there to be found than
he. The clerks recognize that it is
going to be a big task to fill "Bob's"
shoes in this position. His reasons
for giving up the work to which he
has become much attached is that he
is now a member of the firm, The
Martley Co., with which he is connect
ed, and of course as employer he could
no longer, with consistency, fill the
position of secretary of the Clerks'
Union. His resignation takes effect
July 1st. His successor will be elect
ed at the next meeting of the clerks,
which will be held Monday, June 23.
The action of Trades Council, impos­
.-
THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS
ing 10 cents per month per capita
for maintaining the labor temple, was
approved and concurred in.
Several merchants were reported as
violating their closing agreement.
Further action will be taken in their
cases next meeting night unless they
change their tactics during the com
ing month.
AT HAMILTON'S
LEADING THEATRES
Rialto, Sunday—"The Isle of Lost
Ships"
"The Isle of Lost Ships," a Mau
rice Tourneur production which is
coming to the Rialto theatre on Sun
day for a four-day engagement, dis
closes new possibilities of screen
grandeur and beauty. It is a story
to thrill the most blase. It is a fine,
human, American-made story, breath
ing wholesome ideals and fraught
with a spirit of adventure.
The theme is daring in its nature
and the task of the producer over
whelming in its exactions on the im
agination, but Tourneur has again
proved himself the master that he is
by giving this tremendous story an
adequate, sensational and remarkable
visualization.
Anna Q. Nilsson plays the role of
the shipwrecked society girl, Milton
Sills is the hero, a condemned but
innocent man, and Frank Campeau
is Jackson, the detective.
Added, Sunshine comedy and Fox
News.
Rialto, Thursday—"The Courtship of
Miles Standish"
"A magnificent document of pictor
ial history"—such, it is promised, is
Charles Ray's cinema masterpiece in
nine reels, 'The Courtship of Miles
Standish,' which comes to the Rialto
theatre on Thursday for three days.
Longfellow's immortal poem, with
its most famous of American love
stories dealing with the picturesque
side of Pilgrim life, has been trans
lated to the screen at a cost of $800,
000.
One can imagine that the pictorial
version has charm, with Charles Ray
in the role of the lover who, pleading
for a friend, found his own mate
Perhaps no phrase has ever taken
such hold of the imagination of
America's womanhood as "Why
don't you speak for yourself, John?"
But more than the stirring poem
has found its way to the silver sheet.
Ray's masterpiece spans two full
years of the daring Pilgrim conflicts
with many adversities.
Added—H. C. Witwer's "The Tele
phone Girl" and Fox News.

LATHERS RAISE WAGES
Detroit, Mich.—The Lathers' Union

working conditions.

DELEGATE SCHEAF
Returns From International
Convention and Reports
It the Biggest Ever
4
JACK SCHEAF
Jack Scheaf, president of the local
Trades Council, returned Sunday
night from Cincinnati, where as a
delegate from the local Stage Em
ployes and Moving Picture Operators'
Union, he attended the bi-ennial con
vention of the International Alliance
of Theatrical Stage Employes and
Moving Picture Operators' Union,
held last week. Scheaf reports it the
most successful and best convention
ever held in the history of the organi
zation. More than 700 delegates from
all parts of the United States and
Canada attended the big conclave.
Headquarters of the convention was
the Gibson Hotel. The Gibson Hotel
management, the business men and
merchants of Cincinnati were so well
pleased at the gentlemanly and cour
teous manners of the delegates that
they extended a pressing invitation
for the return of the next convention
to that city. The invitation was
unanimously accepted, and the gath
ering of the organization in 1926 will
again be held in Cincinnati for the
third consecutive time. This speaks
well of Cincinnati as a convention
city.
In the election of officers, William
Canavan, of St. Louis, 1st vice presi
dent, was elected president. Mr. Can
avan has been acting president of the
organization since the A. F. of L.
convention held last year at Portland,
Ore., when charges of malfeasance in
office were filed and sustained against
former President Chas. C. Shay.
Through the efforts of Delegate
Scheaf, who stands high with the ex
ecutive board and all the delegates,
the international contributed $100 to
further the cause of the local Labor
Day outing. Jack deserves the
thanks of the local committee for his
fine work in this instance.
The Eighth district, comprising the
states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and
Kentucky, met in annual session the
Sunday previous to the international's
convention. Chas. Benner, Indian
apolis, Ind., was elected secretary of
the district organization. By right of
being a vice president of the interna
tional, living in this district, William
C. Elliott, Cincinnati, 3rd vice presi
dent, is chairman of the district organ
ization. Terre Haute, Ind., was se
lected as the next meeting place of
the district in May, next year. Dele
gate Scheaf acted as one of the
judges in the district convention elec
tion.
While in Cincinnati Delegate Scheaf
consulted with President Joseph
Weber, of the International Federa
tion of Musicians, regarding the with
drawal of the local musicians from
Trades Council. President Weber
promised to use his best efforts to
induce the musicians to again affil
iate and participate in the Labor Day
outing and assist in reducing the labor
temple debt.
INJUNCTION JUDGE
JAILS FUR WORKERS
New Brunswick, N. J.—Although a
strike of fur workers against the Balk
corporation was adjusted several
weeks ago, Milton Corbet, a member
of the union, is in jail for contempt
of court. After his attorneys failed
to have the sentence set aside, he
surrendered and is now serving three
months. The fur workers are raising
funds to support his family.
STEAM FITTERS ADVANCE
Cleveland, Ohio.—Steamfitters have
advanced wages 12% cents an hour.
The new rate is $1.37%.
