ing trade." The report shows that
there were 637 local unions May 31,
a decrease of 66.
New York. At the first Interstate
conference of women workers ever
held in America, which were assem
bled simultaneously in New York,
Boston and Chicago, the delegates
representing various trade unions
were present and voiced their views
on the subject of "How May Wom
en's Union Be Best Strengthened?"
At the conclusion of the discussion
resolutions were introduced and a defi
nite scheme for assisting women
workers to obtain better pay and
shorter hours was decided upon. '
Boston. Representatives of various
lodges of the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks employed on the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad sys
tem voted ' that the Increase of five
and ten cents a day which the com
pany has offered its clerks is not a
satisfactory reply to the recent com
plaint of the clerks that the pay had
not been advanced proportionately
with that of other departments. Some
time ago a request for an increase of
15 per cent in wages was made by
the clerks. A committee was elected
to wait upon the railroad management
and ask that the request be further
considered.

decided to renew their demand for
12 per cent, advance in wages to
the conciliation board. The men's
representatives declare that the de
mand must be enforced.

of its Labor day parades, at least for
several years to come. The annual
long march through the streets by
thonsands of unionists, wearing the
picturesque uniforms of their trades,
was abandoned by the federation of
labor as being an "antiquated and
luxurious" method of displaying la
bor's strength before the public.
