Winters the county convention, a deserved compliment to his services rendered in that position during the last ses sion of the legislature. Since that time his popularity has not lessens ed but rather is becoming more pronounced. The campaign has been an unusual one such a cam. paign as old Tioga has not seen in many years. The details are familiar to every voter and need not be reiterated here. It suffices that on the eve of election Mr Winters stands in the same position as he did when his fellow Repub'i- cans without a dissenting voice, voted him their confidence. He stands upon his record. In a sins gle term in the assembly he has become as was truthfully said by Senator Horace White in the Republican mass meeting last week a power for good ia the state. He has energetically worked for the best interests of his constituents, his party aad his state. This work has been effective, and it will become more so with a year's experience in legislative work added to his other qualificas tions.

The Times’ article contaies extracts frem the report of an organizer made to the head officials of the Typographical union. Then follow some of the insincere arguments fcr which the Times is noted, and in conclusion is a false and venomous attack on a printer who was secretary of the Sayre union up to the time the charter was surrendered. The animus which prompts such ebul- liticns in the Times is so well known to the public at large that The Record cculd well afford to this latest effusion by in silence, but the Times makes a few breaks about other matters par- taining to laber that call for atten tion at this time, In order that the workirgmar may understand the matter clearly, it is pertinent to summarize briefly the events and circumstances that led up to the surrendering of the charter of Sayre Typographical union. The Record has on fi'e the correspond- (nce between the secretary of the local union and the general secre- tary of the International union, and exlerds a cordial invitation to workingmen 2nd members of labor unions to call at this office and lock over the correspondence, It is tco long fer the limited space of The Record to print, The dissension that resulted in the disbanding of Sayre Typo- graphical union had its beginning through jealousy that arose in the Times outfit when the publisher of The Record first announced his in- tenticn of locating in Sayre. Townspecple will recall that a job printing business was conducted a couple of years by the proprietor of this paper before The Record was started. That little job office gave to the people of this town what they had not had previously —firstsclass, workmanlike product, prompt delivery, and courteous, business-like treatment — abso lutely the same to every patron regardless of his social standing or the cut of his clothes, The little job office was a union office too. At the carnest solicitation of a number of the best business men in the town, The Valley Record was started on the 8th of May, 19035; it was a union paper too, and carried the union label at the head of its editorial column. The pro- prictor of The Record was a mem- ber of the union and carried a working card showing him tobe in good standing. At no tim: from May 8, 1905, until Saturday, Nov. 3, 1906, did the Times carry the union label at the head of its edi- torial colums. Why? It is one Pp iSS ~1! di work ing the label must b¢ a member of the union. The typos graphical union concedes the right of a proprietor to work in his own office on matter that does not bear the union label. The proprietor of | the Times was not a member of the union for the simple reason that the members did not want htm to be. Accordingly if he chose to work on his newspaper he must keep the label out of it. That ex- plains the reason why the Times appeared as a “rat” paper so long, The fact that The Record printed the union label at its masthead was the principal cause for the burning jealousy that consumed the Times outfit and that finally -led to such bickering among the members of the local union that the self-re- specting clement in the union lost interest, and the cutcome was the surrender of the charter ard the relir quishment of agreements for the cight-hour day that had been signed by The Record and by the Times. Ia the correspondence regarding the disbandment of the local union, the causes that'produced the result are laid at the door cf the Times outfit and at the hand of a loud- mouthed “organizer” who took sides in the controversy that had been going on among ths mem- bers of the union. If this organizes had only possessed sufficient tact he would have speedily obtained signatures to eight-hour agree. ments from most of the printing cffice proprictors in this valley, for there was no particular opposition to the cight hour mosement in this valley at that time. But when he attempted to ride rough shod over the employing priaters and the members of the lecal union, he tackled a proposition he couldn't handle. A msjority of the mem. bers of the union were thorcughly disgusted with his tactics and turned him down ccld in a letter to the head cfficials of the Typo graphical urion that was! dated March 1906. That letter signed by a méjority of the mem bers of the union. In a letter of the same date the local secretary notified the International union stcretary that he had sent in the eight-hour agreements, the chars ter, 211 books, paraphernalia, etc, together with the balance that was on depcsit in a local bank to the credit of the union. The lccal <ecretary also asked what dispo sition was to be: made of the elce trotyped union labelc—the same kind of a union label that appeared in the Times in its issus of last SaturJjay-. Under date of March 6, the local secretary received a reply fo his letter of March 2, from J] W Bramwocd, sceretary- treasurer of the International uricn, acknowl. edging the rcccipt of the eights hour agreements, with the state. ment that the agreements were void since the lccal union no ionger bad existence, The follow ing reference to the labels is quoted from the letter: “In order to properly clese up the affiirs of No. 413, all labels should be re turned to me (Bramwood) The use of the label in any of the towns over which your local had control, is now legal, since its charter has been surrendered, Please forward the labels with the least possible delay.” The local secretary did not care to go to the Times office alter the labels, but he did collect them from all the other union offices in the valley and sent them onto Mr Bramwood. In acknowledging the receipt cf latels the local sec retary had collected, Mr. Brant wood wrote under date of March 17, as follows: “I have today writs ten the proprietor of the Times of Sayre, instructing him to turn over the labels in his possession to you or ship them direct to me without delay.” These labels were never turned over to the local secretary, nor were they ever sent in direct to headquarters by the Times, They were retained by that office and used repeatedly by the Times since, notwithstanding that there has been no union in this valley since March 2, 1906. The Times will ~ is Si ; per ci hos : : ead office at Indianapolis, and the Times may cven assert that it has some authority for using -a label But how can any office in this val. Sayre union, which is defunct? The proprietor of the Times may also set forth the claim that he is a member of the union mow. He might even be paying dues into the International, but that will not make him a member of the Sayre union, nor entitle him to the use of the label of the Sayre union, according to good union practice. This is not the first time that the proprietor of the Times has set hims=If up as the foremost apostle ol trades unionism in this valley. He was a great union man when the Sayre Typographical union was formed a few years ago—yet he was never a member of the Sayre union, and it is a matter of fact that the very men who worked for him when ths union was formed would not run any chances by tak ing him into membership. Now that Sayre union is disbanded he sees the opportunity of a lifetime to get under cover. How about the record of the Times on unionism when a certain great strike was in progress at Sayre a number of years age? If we remember rightly, that sheet was making a frantic effort to straddle both sides of the contro versy. Just a word further—Saturday’s Times goes out of its way to jab the former secretary of the Sayre union, stating that this gentleman “was and is now one of the force of printers on the sheet which is claimed to be infallible,” ete. The “infallible sheet is The Record, and as a matter of fact the former secs retary left the employ of the Record and returned to his native town of Towanda to work on October 27.
