Resolutions have been adopted by a number of Chicago unions and the Fed eration of Labor urging all . working men to purchase .union made coffins. Boston cigarmakers' strike is over. A complete victory was won for the new bill of prices, which increases the wage for making the general run ' of the live-cent varieties of cigars 50 cents per 1,000, and the ten-cent lines one dollar per 1,000. Every man is back at his bench. The finance committee of the Chica go city council has under consideration a demand made by representatives of organized labor that the city code be so amended that at any time a union increases its scale of wages the same rate shall be paid by the city to em ployes in branches affected. The report of Commissioner of Labor Charles P. Neill, on the charges of the American Federation of Labor that the eight-hour law was being constantly violated in connection with govern ment contracts, will be submitted to the president soon. Mr. Neill says there were some fine points of law in volved. It is announced from the headquar ters of the International Typographical union that the following officers of the union have been elected for the ensu ing term of two years: President, James M. Lynch, Syracuse, N. Y.; first vice president, John W. Hays, Minne apolis, Minn.; secretary-treasurer, J. W. Bramwood, Denver, Col. . The convention of the Industrial Workers of the World, which was scheduled to be held in Chicago June 27, has been postponed indefinitely. The reason given is the uncertainty of the outcome of the trial of Moyer, Hay wood and Pettibone, the officials of the Western Federation of Miners, now on trial on charges of being implicated in the murder of former Gov. Steunenberg of Idaho. The London (Eng.) printers have secured a decision from the court of last appeal, which states that picket ing is legal, and that no damages can be collected by the employer. The union had been sued by a large pub lishing house. The firm won decisions and awards of damages in the lower courts. The final decision, however, is hailed in England as a grand legal trade union victory. . The chief executive of San Francis co, Mayor Schmitz, a trade unionist, is handling the momentous-; questions consequent upon the practical destruc tion of that city, is demonstrating so much wisdom and level-lveadnedness that tiie "union-busters" of, the coun try are apt to throw innumerable con niption fits before they recover from the worst sheck they ever experienced. Rockford Union Record. The talk of labor going Into politics has caused research for the first effort in that line. The honor of having the first labor candidate in history is claimed by the city of Worcester, Eng. As long ago as 1553 the commons of the city put up a shoemaker named Collins in opposition to the nominee of the corporation. The novelty resulted in an affray, and the labor man landed in jail, instead of parliament. "We believe in a gradual increase in membership," said J. D. Pierce, organ izer tor the American Federation of Labor. "If 1,000 men organize at the same time they have no realization of their cuty to the labor movement They believe that because they are oragnized they can get anything for which they ask. This is a mistake 999 times in 1,000. Members of trade unions should be educated to their re sponsibilities before they consider a strike." President Gompers is in favor of Joint trade agreements. He has sent several organizers into Chicago to at tempt the reorganization of those unions that have passed out of exist ence, and at the same time build up those tliat have dwindled in member ship. These organizers are not anx ious to have thousands of .workingmen join the union every day. They prefer that the unions increase in member ship gradually, so that the danger of many new members outvoting those experienced in strikes will be avoided. Trades unionists in Galesburg, 111., are deeply interested in a labor temple project, with the prospects in favor of its successful consummation. Under their plan the building will be erected by a stock company, the shares of stock being sold for $10 each and everyone being given a chance to sub scribe for as much stock as they see fit. It is the firm belief of the promot ers of the plan that they can dispose of one share on an average to every union man in the city of Galesburg, and there are from 1,200 to 1,500 of such men. Not all union men will subscribe, but there are enough who will take more than one share of stock to bring the average up. Did you ever stop to think that if you gave your local paper your finan cial and moral support, and induced all your friends and acquaintances to follow your example that unionism would be more effective? ' The International Association of La bor Legislation has been organized in New York. Its object is to secure legis lation from the various state legisla tures in the interest of labor. Among the leaders are: Prof. Richard T. Ely, University of Wisconisn; Prof. Henry W. Furham, Yale; Prof. H. R. Sanger, Columbia; Adna F. Weber, Now York state cepartment of labor.' Twenty-two members of the Chicago Carriage and Cab Drivers' union have died within the past IS months.. Near ly all suffered from consumption, caused by th-j exposure to rain and all sorts of weather. During the 18 months the union paid $2,200 in death benefits and $3,800 to those on the sick list. The organized workingmen of the UniJd States are to have a, congres sional labor committee similar to the parliamentary committee of Great Bri tain. Its object will be to aid union men to be elected to congress. There will also be state committees to urge the selection of labor men to the legis latures. The proposition will be con sidered by the next convention of the American Federation of Labor, which meets in Minneapolis in November. President Gompers and other leaders of the labor movement are in favor of such a committee and they will sup port the move before the convention. "More Fuss Than Feathers" is the way the Labor World of Duluth and Superior characterizes recent "muck raking." "There has been much said of late of 'trust busting,' " the maga zine declares. "There have also been many exposures of corporate iniquity; the beef trust, Standard Oil, the coal trust, paper trust, drug trust, and the railroads all coming in for their sev eral shares in the exposed rottenness. To date, however, not one really effec tive Mow ha3 been given any of these unlawful and unconscionable combina tions against the public welfare." Strikes are becoming fewer in the United States every year. In Great Britain the conciliation boards have virtually eliminated strikes. During the past three years few strikes have been called in that country, and they were small. The workingmen of the United States' are gradually doing away with strikes by resorting to arbitra tion or making joint trade agreements. The greatest strikes Chicago has had were called by new organizations. The rapidity with which workingmen would join new unions prevented the educa tion of the members on trade union lines. When a new union strikes it is almost certain to lose. Its members generally never had any experience in strikes. If an old union man would endeavor to stop the strike he would be hooted at and looked upon as a traitor to the labor cause. But after the strike has been lost and the union disrupted it is tco late to discuss who was to blame. Chicago American. The United Mine Worker of Indian apolis discovers that labor has an in terest in prsserving Niagara. "To the coal miners the preservation of Nia gara falls may be a subject of even more interest and importance than it is at present when they realize just what effect the use of Niagara power by manufacturing establishments and railroads will have upon them person ally. The New York Central railroad has arranged for 60,000-horse power per year to run its entire western division, now run by coal. This, of course, dis places the coal which would otherwise be mined by American miners, at the same time helping to ruin the falls. The Lackawanna Steel company has arranged for an enormous amount of Niagara power, to displace its use of coal. . It seems quite as unreasonable for congress to permit these railroad and manufacturing companies to im port power from the Dominion of Can adaas will be done if the present plans of such concerns are not frus trated as to permit them to import labor itself. The power displacing coal and the labor which mines it in the same manner as imported labor would displace native workmen." Four unions were added last week to the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen Of America. Two of them are located in Chicago the butchers and sausage-makers of the North side. During the strike two years ago they were affiliated with the Amal gamated, but withdrew later. Michael Donnelly presided at the installation of officers and then left for an organi zation trip south. The Amalgamated had 56,000 member's at the time of the stockyards strike. It now has 10,000, but all are from the ranks of the high est skilled butcher workmen. The last international convention adopted a death teneflt of $ 150. It also left to the referendum a proposition to pay sick benefits of five dollars a week. The vote is now being taken, and President Donnelly say3 it is sure of passage. Another advanced move of the butcher workmen is the mailing to each mem ber every month of the official journal. Home D. Call, the international secre tary, is the editor. The Amalgamated has 30 unions in Illinois outside of Chi cago, and 150 in the United States. "We are succeeding beyond our expec tations," said President Donnelly. "I am well pleased with the future pros pects of the union." After a . four weeks' session the seventh biennial convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers adjourned sine die to meet in Colum bus, O, two years hence. The conven tion jut closed has transacted much important business. The four trade associations of em ployers in the Building Trades Employ ers' association who employ carpen ters met and passed a resolution de claring a lockout of the Brotherhood of Carpenters. The lockout affects 12,000 carpenters in the metropolitan dis trict, and renders thousands in other trades JMa. .
