PROTEST ALLEGED UNFAIRNESS AT LADOR HEARING

Resolutions Sent to Representatives by Local Working-

I. men Discuss Legislation.

Resolutions were drawn up at a mass meeting of Richmond workers Sunday afternoon In Lukens hall, concemlng labor legislation in the general assembly at Indianapolis, which will be sent to Representatires Knapp and Lafuze. ''hyCJS B. Httery, president of the state federation of labor, was present and discussed labor legislation and the unfair manner in which he charged labor had been treated at a publio hearing in Indianapolis. Last Tuesday a public hearing on the Women's Bight Hour Day bill, conducted by Chairman Johnson of the Rights and Privileges committee. Hattehy explained. The Federation of Women's Clubs were present with statistics which they wished to present at the hearing. Mr. Fox, chairman of the State Federation of Labor, was

present. Chairman Johnson, as the meeting opened, said there was to be

o demonstration of any kind. No

one would be permitted to applaud. Two hours was given for the bearing, one hour for either side. Sever

al hundred girls were present In their own Interests. One speaker was applauded and Chairman Johnson declar

ed the meeting adjourned. Protest was made by Chairman Fox but they were of no avail. Hattery said labor was given hearing later, but the effect was lost. Oppose Garnishee BUI. Four bills were discussed by Hattery which he considered of vital importance to labor. The Garnishee bill, he claimed. Is not operative as there are certain state statutes which prohibit such law. : It Is class legislation on the 'worklngman and does not affect the other man, said Mr. Hattery, and labor does cot want It because It is unfair. - Hattery said that It Is not to labor's best interests to have the amendment to the compensation bill passed, which provide for an increase in the industrial board. -One new member this year and another tho next session and In time, Hattery said, the whole purpose and effect of the law, which gives to the working" rnan Just awards when ho ha? been Injured, without attorney' fees, would bo lost Hattery urged thfct the Women's Klght-bour bill and the Mother's penEton bill be strongly favored. He also criticised legislation In In('!ar,,i. Recently he said a survey had l.rn rcado in the department of labor, rno Indiana was shown to be antinti&tcil as fer as legislation for the wlioJo pcepM is concerned. There are f.nly !jc atstcs In the Union who do Jr; frr woraca t.han Ind!ana, he said, tr'J ibr.y are lowi. West Virginia, Klicx Mcifo, Florida and AKbama. -.' "The Mi" ?y Is a disgrsce to indipr.a," IlsitUry said. "Ohio Is so f i r ci" ?..-: t'u-i is no comparison. JUpi'PFf xilRttves want tho state to lay f'rrn rrt They do not want progressive lRlslatlou, therefore they do not want n. constitutional convention." Urged Increased Interest. Hattery urged that each workingman in Richmond write to the repre-f-entalives in tb.e general assembly concerning1 tfttuft measures. A Ftete.wio3 campaign is being waged by the elate federation of labor to Increape the interest in labor legishv tlon. Mr. Hattery sat-J. that labor legislation is going to bo oioof 1h Vi arts in the reconstruction prormas. Personal letters were urged as vrn as A petition. , - A committee, composed of .Paul E. Bheppard, George A. Horney and George W. Russell, drew up the fol

lowing resolutions to be sent to representatives; v "To the' members of the House of Representatives of the Seventy First session of the Indiana Legislature: "Whereas: Labor was refused the right to be heard at a public hearing on the women's eight hour bill held on February 11 before the committee on rights and privileges of which Charles A. 'Johnson, representative from Grant County, was chairman, and, "Whereas: It was a well known fact to every member of the house as well as to the senate that the women's eight hour bill was being sponsored by the Indiana State Federation of Labor, and in fact, was known as a federation bill, and, "Whereas: The said chairman did not ask the representatives of labor for a list of speakers at this or any other hearing at which he presided, therefore be It "Resolved: That we, the citizens of Wayne county hereby protest against any such unjust treatment, and be it further "Resolved: That these resolutions be read from the floor of the house of representatives and be made a matter of records." Promises Decision Soon. A general discussion followed in which several preaent took part. Robert Graham, who presided, said t that he believed that there were many times when labor defeated its own purpose by dragging in matters which did not pertain to what labor wanted. He said it would be a good Idea to leave out all matters which did not pertain directly to the principles of trade unionism. . Someone asked why nothing was heard from the war labor board. Robert Graham said that the labor board had, finished hearing the Richmond case and that it was now in the hands of persons who make. the decisions. It is expected that the results will be

heard within the next week.

A collection was' taken up for Mrs. Belva Droud. a soldier's widow, which amounted to $16. INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 17. Resolutions protesting against the action of Representative Charles A. Johnson of Grant county, who as chairman of the lights and privileges committee of the house, refused to extend the time limit on the public hearing of the eight-hour law-for women, to permit labor representatives to speak In behalf of the bill,, were adopted by a mass meeting of workmen here last night MARION, Ind., Feb. 17 At a largely attended mass meeting at Civic Hall Sunday afternoon the grievances of organized labor of Indiana against Representative Charles A. Johnson of Gas City, member of the house of representatives from this county, were given expression, the meeting ' resolving itself into a debate between Charles A. Fox, president of the State Federation of Labor, - and - Representative Johnson, with Mrs. Culla J. Vayhinger of Upland, appearing in the role of peace maker. As the result of the meeting resolutions were adopted indorsing the action of President Fox and the legislative committee of the State Federation of Labor and condemning Representative Johnson for not asking labor for a list of speakers before the hearing on the women's eight-hour bill and not giving It the right to be heard. " -- Representative :J Johnson intimated that politcs was back of the-alleged grievances against him. declaring Mr. Fox is a Democrat and himself a Republican, but Mr. Fox denied this, saying thp.t he had buried politics and considered the rights of labor and huinanity paramount to political considerations. - ' "
