A . V. White came In from Norfolk to spend a few days with relatives and to renew relations with the Plumb ers' Union. He says Norfolk is all to the good. The Minneapolis Union has decided to'become a monthly magazine. It has the ambition to "reconcile labor and capital," and ia not an enthusiastic supporter of the union shop. But it lias been a mighty good newspaper for workingmen. Here's hoping It will meet with abundant success under the new order of things. On Christmas day at Roanoke, Va., Mrs. John Luck presented her hus band with a bunch of Luck in the shape of four babies, two boys and two girls. It is estimated that for every dollar spent in advertising the public spends J1.500. Working people spend $1,200 of it. Whose patronage do you want, Mr. Merchant? . Capital is the fruit of labor and cculd not exist if labor had not first existed. Labor, therefore, deserves much the higher consideration Abraham Lincoln. ' Trainmen and conductors on all the roads running east of Chicago hjva decided to defer action of their de mands for a general revision of their wages and working conditions. Congressional politics in the First district has opened up, but up to date only professional politicians have been "mentioned." Nothing has been said about sending a workingman to ccngre'ss. Theo. Nelson, who has been farming down in Gage county for a year Or two, is officiating In the Western Newspaper. Union stereotyping room during the vacation of Sam Large. Nelson says he just wants to keep his hand in. The street car situation in Philadel phia is still strained. The mayor has taken a hand and will try to have the difficulty arbitrated. The employes have been willing for aibitration all along, but the company claims that it "has nothing to arbitrate." A movement has been inaugurated in New York, under the auspices of the Women's Trade Union league, to form women's auxiliaries to the vari ous trade unions in that city. It is proposed to enlist the support of the wives, sisters and daughters of all organized workingmen. widespread building strike. Recently the master carpenters association an nounced that wages of carpenters would be reduced from $5 to $4.50 a day. -The carpenters' . union has re fused to accept this cut in wages and committees from both organizations are now trying to reach a compromise. In case the master carpenters insist on the reduction it is likely that the 1.9,000 members of the union will strike. Other building trades . unions are awaiting the outcome of the confer ences between' the carpenters and employers. In case the carpenters' strike comes it is said to be more than likely that similar strikes will follow in practically all other building trades. According to the ; annual report of the general secretary of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join ers of America for , the year ending june 30, 1907, there were last June 199,823 members in god standing, a gain of 26,631 during the year, and 199,823 members in good standing, a the year. The report shows further that, with these 1,889 local unions, the territory covered by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join ers includes the United States and Canada, Porto Rico, the British Indies and the Hawaiian Islands. Lincoln Carpenters' Union wound up the old year last Tuesday night with a rousing meeting. The attendance was larger than usual, and a spirit of en thusiasm permeated the hall. It was decided to increase the dues to $1 a month, and to push the wark of or ganization without pause.- The local has made a gratifying growth during the last twelve months, and is strong er than ever before in its history.
