Washington. Attorney General
Moody issued a circular letter of In
structions to United States attorneys
regarding prosecutions of violations
of the eight-hour law, In which he
says the, government is determined
upon a' strict enforcement of this
statute as relating to public works of
the United States. All United States
attorneys are directed diligently to
investigate all complaints which may
come to them and, where sufficient ev
idence can be secured, submit, it to a
grand jury with a view to securing
an indictment. 1
Chicago. The sensational move
ment towards higher wages, 'which
has been sweeping the country during
the last two weeks, received another
impetus when the Chicago aid Alton
railroad announced a 13 per cent in
crease in pay retroactive to Nov.. 1
for all Its switchyard employes. ' The
Alton's action, which is in conformity
with recent advances granted by the
Pennsylvania, Reading, and ' other
eastern roads,, is taken as an index
of the feeling among western railroad
corporations, and it is believed the ex
ample will be followed by the majority
of the roads of the west, if not of
the entire country.
Washington. President Gompers of
the A. F. of L. has issued an appeal to
all unions tp at once financially assist
the lithographers, who have had a na
tional, strike for the eight-hour work
day oi since Aug. 4.
Louisville. In the southern states
there are 16 carpenters' unions of col
ored men. The brotherhood claims
jurisdiction over journeymen carpen
ters or joiners, planing mill bench
hands, cabinetmakers or men running
woodworking machinery.- But their
claims to this extensive jurisdiction
have not been disputed. The. Amal
gamated Society! ot Carpenters, an
English organization, and the Amalga
mated Woodworkers have both con
tested it before conventions of the
American Federation of Labor... The
enmity of the brotherhood and the
amalgamated society 'was one. of the
main causes of the New York building
trades' strike in 1903. The American
Federation has not ', yet decided the
jurisdiction dispute, but both sides are
now working amicably under a com
promise. The Amalgamated Wood
workers dispute the authority of the
brotherhood over men running wood
working machinery.
Boston. At', the last meeting , of
Cigar Makers' union No. 97 it was

makers' union that joins the Industrial

tion of a national president. '

! . r
Washington. Through their efforts
to obtain labor on the work of tie
isthmian canal, the members of Che
canal commission, have found that
there is a dearth of labor in all parts
of the world. So great is the demand
for labor in connection with" railroad
building and other works of a large
scale, countries which have formerly
sent thousands of laborers to this
country monthly are now using their,
labor at home.
' Chicago. The increase of wages,, in
the city during ,the last decade has .
been in some lines of work nearly 100 :
per cent. ' Ten years ago carpenters
got 20 cents an hour; to-day they get
froin 40 to 60 cents. All tool workers,
the result of whose labor depends on
skill and intelligence, have been able
to get a like advance in their pay.
Figures compiled by Slason Thompson,
statisticari for the General Managers'
Association of. Chicago show that the
total increase in wages per annum," in '
the United States in the last ten years,
is about $79,000,000. ,
Minneapolis. An - affiliation, to a ;

L. will demand products of the farm,
garden , and orchard that hear the
label of the farmers' organization.
The equity society embodies a mem
bership of over 1,000,000, and claims
to represent more than one-seventh ,
of the entire population of the
country, -

cles as the father of the eight-hour
law. The monument is to he 'erected

as some of the international delegates
from England anfl.other foreign coun
tries. ' - - i ' . - '- .' -
Washington At the convention or
the Knights of Labor John W; Hayes
was re-elected : master -workman. Res
olutions intended to promote the

favor of the restricted use of the in
junction in labor disputes, but not in
favor of entirely abolishing injunc.

Eighty per cent, of the receipts go into
the international treasury, providing a
weekly : income of"$25,00, more' than
sufficient to meet all strike demands.
