A LOST STRIKE. HORSESHOERS WITHDRAW. Chicago Metal Workers Lose Afer a Two Years' Struggle. An end to the machinists' strike against concerns connected with the Chicago Metal Trades' Association, which was the longest in the history of important industrial struggles in Chicago, came Monday night when the strikers, delegates to central la bor bodies and officials of the union voted to declare all "struck" shops open to union machinists. This action was the result of the affiliation of brass and metal workers with the machinists. These new members have been working in shops affected by the strike, and the union cflicials were forced either to bring the strike to a close or call out 300 brass and metal workers. The strug gle began May 24, 1904, because of the refusal of machinists employed by thirty-two concerns to agree to Use operation of two machines by one man. A feature of the strike was the ; transformation of pickets into "so licitors and collectors" after an in-1 junction against picketing was is sued. . . , An "anti-injunction" mass meeting will be held by Chicago Typographi cal Union No. 16 at Brand's Hall next Sunday afternoon. Addresses will be made by clergymen, educators, law yers and labor leaders. Quit the Citizens' Alliance and Will Go It Alone.

This week 30c. lost touch with union affairs. A short time ago he happened to read something about the Typographical Union's fight for the eight-hour day. This interested him and he investi gated some more. Just then came the assessment for the eight hour fund, and he heard about that. "That's where I get busy again," said Mr. . He chased out and found President Greenley of Lincoln Typographical Union. No. 209 and said: "Give me a blank application for membership. I used to be a member but lapsed. I'm not working at the trade, and don't expect to again. But I can carry a card and pay assess ments and dues, and that's what I'm after. My money will go as far to help out the eight-hour fight as any body's." And he signed the application, put up the fee and is now paying the reg ular dues and special assessment. That's the kind of trades unionism that . counts. And It costs a little something every week to be a union printer right now. But you don't hear any of them kicking about it, do you? A BIG PERCENTAGE. And There Isn't a Labor Union That Can Equal It. The state of Oregon is entitled to three representatives in the congress of the United States two senators and one congressman. One senator and the congressman have been sen tenced to jail for fraud. That is two thirds of Oregon's congressional dele gation. There isn't a labor union in any Etate that can equal that percentage of convicted criminals or come any where near it. If two-thirds of any local union in- any city in America were convicted of fraud and sen tenced to jail, the newspapers could not print enough pages to tell all about it. But they tell all about the Oregon cases in a half dozen lines stuck away in an obscure place. Sam Parks one in the 400,000 laboring men in New York belonging to unions was sent to the pen for fraud and the papers were full of it for months. A senator and a congressman two thirds of a state's congressional del egation sentenced to jail for fraud, and the newspapers barely mention the fact. And yet there are union men who will not support a paper representing their cause and affording them their opportunity to appeal to the reading public. GENERAL MENTION.

Word comes from Jesse Mickel that he Is rapidly recovering and that he is again able to preside over his "mill" at Harvard. George Small has so far recovered from his accident that he is able to br- at work in his old place in the North stereotyping department. The wage scale of the metal work ers on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad has been raised 20 cents a day, and 3,500 men- are benefitted thereby. By the way, do not forget the "Colorado Springs Club" meeting at Carpenters' hall next Sunday after the Typographical Union adjourns. Al Walker shouldered his clog, whistled to his gun and went out to the 'ducks to get a bag of lakes the other day. He came Wack with plenty of feathers. Paving work has ceased for the winter and the coal firms are getting caught up with their work. Next, year promises a lot of grading work for the teamsters of Lincoln. The Electrical Workers are voting on whether to locate their interna tional headquarters at Springfield, Ills., cr Indianapolis, Ind. What's the matter with .locating them in a bet ter town than either Lincoln? Opening a sweat shop with prayer may be all right, but people who pray to God one minute and prey on the necessities of the poor the next min utes will have difficulty in identify ing themselves when called before the judgment bar. , .'...' Harry Thomas, a member of Lin coln Typographical Union, ' but who publishes the Harvard, Neb., Courier, had a little loss by fire one day last week. Hi3 barn burned down, ' and he lest a lot of gasoline and lubricat ing oil in the blaze. He also lost a couple of hours' sleep, which worried him most of all. j talking about a woman who went to sleep about three weeks ago and hasn't been awake since. . There is nothing wonderful about that. We know union men right here in Lin coln who have been .asleep for ' two years, and they don't show any signs of waking up yet. , HOW IT WORKS. A press dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Pa., says: "The new child labor law, which- forces some 12,000 boys out of the anthracite mines, went into effect last week and is to be rigidly enforced by the officers of the Mine Workers' union. It provides that no boys under 14 shall be, employed out side . the mines, and none under 16 inside. A recent investigation re vealed the fact that of the 24,000 breaker boys at least half are be tween the ages of 10 and 14 and will be affected by the new law an,d forced from the colleries into the school." notified the striking printers to let them know if money Is needed, and the bricklayers always have a few ducats stored away in the strong box. - -- - , - " :. '. WHAT WERE THE PROFITS? If it pays to employ a strikebreaker with his average of one job per day and one-half of the Jobs spoiled, what must nave Deen tne proms reapeu from the labor of the union man, vith his average of eight Jobs per day? Dallas Laborer. . Some men are high livers, giraffes are. ' Ml OF COURSE. Count on the Cigarinakers' Union to get tip on the firing line when a bunch of union brothers is in trouble. The cigarmakers have come to" the front in a score of places and notified the striking printers to make their financial wants known. The cigar niakqrs have had the eight-hour day foi years, and they are ready to back tips with money and deeds any other union that is after the same thing. A TO BE SURE.
