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

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.

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."

with his average of one job per day
and one-half of the Jobs spoiled, what

The cigarmakers have come to" the

the striking printers to make their
