Inquire of
E. B. SLOSSON, Gen. Agent"
Ottawa, Canada. The government
of Canada introduced and passed a
measure called the "intrial disputes
investigation act." It is a compulsory
act up to a certain poinL Its chief fea
ture is the provision that before a
strike or lockout can be legally de
clared in a dispute between employer
and employed, in connection with a
mine or any industry connected with
a public utility it shall be submitted
.to a board of conciliation and investi
gated under the act, with the view
of arriving at a settlement. Further
provisions require that employers and
employes shall give 30 days' notice of
intended changes affecting the condi
tions of employment, respecting
wages, hours of labor, etc, and. pend
ing investigation official, the relative
position of the parties shall be un
changed; neither party is to do any
thing meanwhile to bring about a
strike or lockout. Any award under
the act is to be obligatory and binding.
East St. Louis, III. The threatened
strike of East St. Louis street car em
ployes was abandoned by a vote taken
during a meeting of the car men. They
.voted to drop the strike plan and to
accept the promise of Vicerpresident
Haynes not to hold the recent strike
agitation against them. The walk-out
was threatened because the company
refused to reinstate George Gloss, a
discharged motorman. He was , dis
charged because of carelessness re
sulting in an accident. The" company
refused to arbitrate the matter of his
discharge, asserting it was purely a
matter of discipline.
Pittsburg, Pa. A wage agreement
has been reached, between representa
tives of the Amalgamated Association
of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers and
the American Sheet and Tin Plate
company. The new agreement amounts
to a five per cent, reduction in the pay
of the tin workers and a cut of two
per cent, in the scale for the sheet de
partment. About 10,000 men are af
fected.
New York. Several of the officers
and members of New York Typograph
ical union No. 6 have been summoned
into court to show cause why they
should not be punished for contempt
in failing to obey the order of the
court forbidding them to molest or
boycott the Butterick Publishing com
pany of that city. The injunction said
to have been violated was issned
March 14, 1906. The plaintiff claims
to have suffered great pecuniary loss.
Helena, MonL The supreme court
of Montana has issued an important
decision favorable to labor unions
Circulars declaring a firm unfair were
being distributed. An injunction was
asked for by the firm and was granted
by a lower court. The supreme court..
with all the judges assenting, re
versed the act 'on of the lower court
and dissolved : :l the injunctions.
Union, S. C. The textile mills have
gone back to full time work. This
means they are all putting in 60 hours
a week instead of four days, which
was the time that some of the mills
had curtailed to several weeks ago
because of the slight demand for cot
ton goods throughout the country.
Sedalia, Mo. Five hundred men
gave three cheers when the Alissouri.
Kansas & Texas shop train pulled out
from the station for the shops, which
resumed work after an enforced vaca
tion of six weeks.
Pittsburg, Pa. The Tackmakers'
Protective Union of the United States
and Canada is the second oldest labor
organization in America.
Boston. The largest percentage of
idleness in Massachusetts is found in
the textile cities of Lawrence and New
Bedford, while the percentage as a
whole is larger throughout the state
than in the cities of Boston, Worcester,
Brockton and Lynn.
Fort Smith, Ark. A fight occurred
between striking shopmen employed
by the St. Louis & Iron Mountain
Railway company and Italian strike
breakers at Van Buren, Ark., in which
two of the latter were shot and seri
ously wounded.
New Castle, Pa. Over 100 Pennsyl
vania brakemen laid off last fall were
notified by that company to report for
work at once to the assistant train
master here. Fifty firemen who had
been laid off were recently put to
work.

idleness the mines of the Great Lakes
Coal company at Kayler, near here,

tional Federation of State, City and
Town Employes' unions will be held

mento mountains and will soon have
a large force of men at work in the

union refused to indorse the National

El Paso, Tex. After working a few
men on half time during the summer,
the El Paso & Southwestern railway
opened its shops on full time, giving
employment to 350 men.
Topeka, Kan. W. L. A. Johnson,
commissioner of the Kansas bureau of
labor and industry, has a new solution
of the child labor problem. Mr. John-
son's plan is to pay a per diem wage
to children between the ages of ten
and 14 years in order that they may
attend school and still have a means
of at least supporting themselves with
out being compelled to labor in a fac
tory. He does not state what he
thinks this per diem wage should be,
but he thinks the state could well af
ford to pay a small sum, and that the
reduction in the amount necessary to
pay for the state support of schools
for delinquent children would be suf
ficient to pay the bill.
Christiania, Norway, Norway is
probably at present the most thorough
ly strike-ridden country of the world.
btnkes, lock-outs and labor conflicts
are innumerable, although some of the
difficulties have been patched up. Lum
bermen and wood pulp workers have
tied up the timber interests of the na
tion and the strike spirit is spreading
into other manufacturing lines. The
tanners and the textile workers were
the first to join the general strike, and
it is expected that workers in several
other industries will join in thcua
tional strike condition.
New York. Conditions hitherto pre
vailing in the electrotyping business in
Greater New York have been the un
derlying causes of the formation of an
Employing Electrotype rs' and Stereo
typers" league, on the lines of the
Printers League of America. The
unions of both trades have indorsed
the proposition and tendered their
hearty support and co-operation. The
league now numbers among its mem
bers some of the largest and strongest
concerns in the city.

the supreme court on the question of
injunctions in labor troubles, Kencsha
union men will appeal the case of the

against John Daly, et al., all members
of the Buffers and Polishers' union.
The original order in the case enjoined
the men from interfering with the men
employed at the factory or picketing
the plant.
Sharon, Pa. The wage scale be
tween the Amalgamated Association of

out an agreement..
New Castle, Pa. No orders have

ready signed the desired new wage
