The minutes of the previous meet

The credentials of Carl Holly, to

The fourteenth legislative letter

agent and secretary of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, was read. Don

A communication was read from
Wm. Green, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, in which he
states that the executive council of
the federation has just concluded its
ten-day session at headquarters.
Among the subjects considered was
the jurisdictional dispute between the
United Brewery Workers and the
Brotherhood of Teamsters. A hear
ing was held and the organizations
were represented and presented their
respective terms. The decision ren
dered by the executive council is as
follows:
In the case between the two organ
izations involved, the council is of the
opinion and decides that teamsters
and chauffeurs in the brewery indus
try properly belong to and come under
the jurisdiction of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters and Chauff
eurs.
On motion the communication was
received and ordered filed for future
reference.
A committee from the local organ
ization of Small Home and Land
Owners asked permission to address
the council. On motion the request
was granted. Donald Metzler acted
as spokesman for the organization,
and told the delegates the aims and
objects of the organization. The main
object of the movement is to prevent
homes and land being taken from the
working people through foreclosure.
Metzler asked the delegates to carry
back to their respective organizations
the aims of the Small Home Owners'
organization.
Representatives Woods and Cobert,
of the Community Chest drive, were
allowed the floor and invited the coun
cil's assistance in the drive.
Bakers reported that five bakeries
have signed up their new contract but
the larger bakeries as yet have not

Electrical workers reported that
they are dickering with the master

contract.
Machinists'report no work.
Milk and ice cream drivers report
organization in good condition, and
same dairies out of the organization.
Metal polishers report very little

Musicians report conditions look a
little brighter for their members since
the new beer has come back. They
will now try and bring all the non

Plumbers report that they have
signed up four shops.
The non-partisan campaign commit

reported that no satisfaction was re

motion the request of the painters in
the Ebbinger case was granted, and
the secretary was instructed to write
Rosenbei-gers, whose office is in Cin
cinnati.
Again Frank Moore, secretary of
the last Labor Day automobile com
mittee, appealed to the delegates of
the different locals who still owe for
tickets, to make a settlement.
FILL THE CHEST
A joint statement issued last Mon
day morning by the co-chairmen of
the campaign read: "With every re
source of our community taxed to
the limit to meet our welfare prob
lems, we must apply President
Roosevelt's slogan in this camapign
"WE'VE GOT TO DO IT.' More
than 3,000 of our families must look
for help to keep body and soul to
gether. Our charity cases in our
hospitals increase daily. Our public
health nurses are called upon to carry
an appalling burden. Our indigent
transient problem is serious. Deser
tions of families by fathers and
brothers in despair is increasing. Our
character-building agencies are meet
ing the greatest challenge in their
experience. This year's story of wel
fare and relief work in Hamilton is
doubtless the most heroic chapter in
the history of these agencies. A rea
sonable goal has been determined.
Certainly, even these times there is
.still in Hamilton $99,G52 for this es
sential work, 'WE'VE GOT TO DO
