Book Description
Excerpt from Union Scale of Wages and Hours of Labor in Ohio on May 15, 1919 This report is the sixth in an annual series of the same title issued in response to a continuing demand from organized labor in various localities and crafts for the wage and hour scales prevailing in their own or other trades in other sections of the state. NO comparative tables are introduced in this bulletin but, by appli cation to this Department for previous numbers of this series, material for a study of the rise of union wages since 1914 may be obtained. The Department will also furnish free upon request copies of any agreements on file with it and information of changes in these scales occurring since May 15, the official date of this tabulation. The authenticity of the figures published here is established by per sonal visit to the accredited officials of the unions. Only cities shown in the U. S. Census of 1910 as having a population of or more are canvassed and, within these, only those trades in which a majority of the journeymen workers are union members or those in which a union minority, has been able virtually to enforce a prevailing standard wage. Oral agreements with the full force of written contracts are accepted by our agents. Careful estimates of the membership of the unions represented in this tabulation total Some membership rolls were reduced by the absence in military service of members formerly carried. Two-thirds of the agreements submitted to this Department contain provisions for the peaceable settlement of any or all disputes arising under them. Of those which do not so provide, almost one-half are in occupations within the Building Trades. Arrangements for arbitration Show the widest variations, from temporary committees of different num bers and powers to permanent grievance boards holding regular meetings. That all these are effective in practice is indicated by the fact that an overwhelming per cent of all open or threatened disagreements were set tled through their agencies. Strikes and lockouts were infrequent during the year. The War Labor Board made adjustments in the Building and Metal Trades and with Street Car Employes.

Book Description
On Christmas Eve 1917, an overcrowded, out-of-control streetcar exited the Mount Washington tunnel, crashing into pedestrians. Twenty-three were killed and more than eighty injured in the worst transit incident in Pittsburgh history. The crash scene on Carson Street was chaotic as physicians turned the railway offices into a makeshift hospital and bystanders frantically sought to remove the injured and strewn bodies from the wreckage. Most of the victims, many women and children, were from the close-knit neighborhoods of Knoxville, Beltzhoover and Mount Oliver. In the aftermath, public outrage over the tragedy led to criminal prosecution, civil suits and the bankruptcy of the Pittsburgh Railways Company, which operated the service. Author Mary Jane Kuffner Hirt explores the tragic history of the Mount Washington transit tunnel disaster.

Book Description
Born in Italy in 1891, Andy Varipapa immigrated to the United States in 1903, uneducated and unable to speak English. Equipped with little more than athletic ability, the will to succeed, and a healthy dose of self-confidence, he became bowling's first superstar. In the 1940s and 1950s, Varipapa was the world's most famous bowler. For more than 50 years, he dazzled fans with an array of never-before-seen trick shots in person, on movie screens, and on television. Varipapa was not only a performer but one of the greatest bowlers ever. He won the prestigious BPAA All-Star tournament in 1946, silencing critics who claimed he was just an entertainer. And he did so at age 55, long past most bowlers' retirement age. To prove it was no fluke, he repeated in 1947. Bowling fans recognized the outspoken and brash "Great Varipapa," who once said, "I'm the most skillful, talkative, and controversial bowler who ever lived." Few knew Andy, the kind and loyal family man and friend. Sourced from interviews with family and friends and more than 1,000 secondary sources, this first-ever biography of Varipapa tells the personal story of bowling's greatest showman and one of its most influential figures.
