Detroit, Mich. Daniel J. Tobin, of
Cambridge, Mass., was re-elected pres
ident of the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters, in convention here. Oth
er o Ulcers were elected as follows:
Vice-presidents, E. J. Mullin, Chicago;
George Golden, Chicago; A. A. Silva,
Chicago; Peter Burke, Boston; John
J. Jennings, Jersey City; Lawrence J.
Grau, Providence, R. I.; secretary-
treasurer, Thomas L. Hughes; general
Auditor, George W. Briggs, Chicago;
board of trustees, Michael J. Staehan,
Boston; James Welch, New Orleans;
Thomas Connolly, Chicago; delegates
to the American Federation of Labor,
Thomas Barry and Edward Coleman,
Chicago; Henry McCormick, New
York; Patrick D. Daley, Boston, and
John E. Longstreet, Cincinnati. Peoria,-
111., was selected for the next
convention in 1910, after Mayor O'Con-
ner of that city had made an address
to the convention.
Seattle. Federal Judge Hanford
granted an injunction asked for by the
ship owners and steamship companies
against the various longshoremen's
unions ' of the Pacific coast. Judge
Hanford restrained the Puget council
of longshoremen and the local union
from Interfering with non-union men
in loading and unloading ships at Se
attle. The judge held he had juris
diction in a case where interstate traf
fic was held affected and that the la
bor unions were responsible for the
acts of violence committed.
Winnipeg, Man. Twelve thousand
jnechanics of the Canadian Pacific rail
road struck, closing down every shop
on the system. The tieup is complete
and the action of the men is taken as
their decision to put labor unionism
in Canada to the supreme test. The
walkout was well planned and no dis
order occurred, the men simply laying
down their tools at the preconcerted
signal from the shop whistles. The
cause of the strike lies in a dispute
over the new schedule handed down
by an arbitration board.
Detroit, Mich. The International
Brotherhood of Teamsters rejected the
overtures of the United Teamsters of
America to amalgamate the two organ
izations. The brotherhood held to the
position taken by the Boston conven
tion of the brotherhood last year, that
the United Teamsters could enter the
brotherhood as individuals or as a
body if they submitted to the laws of
the brotherhood. The conditions de
manded by the United Teamsters failed
to meet approval.
Sioux Falls,- S. D. The problem of
securing sufficient harvest hands is be
ing simplified by the Cincinnati Toung
Men's Christian association, which has
sent 200 laboring men to South Dako
ta and other western states. The or
ganization exercised great care in the
selection of men who are said by the
farmers to "be sober and industrious.
With scarcely an exception the vnen
went to work as soon as they arrived.
Scranton, Pa. Grand Master F. T.
Hawley of the Switchmen's Union of
America said that he had received
word that Commissioners Neill and
Knapp would act as mediators be
tween the switchmen and President
Truesdale of the Lackawanna road,
but he could not say when.
Kenosha, Wis. The Chicago Brass
Company started on a ten-hour shift
after running eight hours for nearly a
year. Two months ago there were
over 1,000 Idle men in Kenosha, but
now nearly all are employed.
Milwaukee, Wis. Milwaukee manu
facturing companies are beginning to
work with full quotas of men. The
following concerns report necessity
of putting on more men: National
Brake and Electric, Filer & Stowell,
Nordberg manufacturing, Wisconsin
Wire, Prinz & Rau, Vilter. Pawling &
Harnischfeger, Worden-Allen. The
Allis-Chalmers company reports a
steady increase in business.
Paris. The contractors for city
works, such as street making and sew
ers, began a lockout. Five thousahd
men are affected. A signer of the name
of Mansnelle has sued General Secre
tary Pataud of the Electrical Workers'
union for the amount lost through fail
ure to fill a concert engagement, which
failure was due to the strike of the
electrical workers the other night.
. Boston. Favorable action on the ap
pointment of a committee to investi
gate, report and remedy, if possible,
the ravages of tuberculosis in so far
as It vitally affected the members of
the organization, and the defeat of the
proposition for a convention every five
years instead of annually, were the
features of the meeting of the Interna
tional Typographical union.
Milwuakee, Wis. As a preliminary
.to the national convention in Milwau
kee on September 8, Milwaukee Ce
ment Workers' union will have a rally
at labor headquarters, 318 Seate street.
on August 29. Plans for entertainment
of guests will be made and organizers
will speak. International President
Alfred Tracy will be present. The
question of molders who recently lost
.their strike coming into the field of
'cement workers and working for lower
jwages will be considered. The cement
workers resent intrusion of the mold
,ers because all unions helped the moid-
J .era financially during the strike.
New Orleans, La. Several hundred
operatives 'at the . Lane-Maggins Cot
ton mills in this city have gone on a
strike, leaving only a small working
force In the mills. The company-' re
cently announced that on account of
stagnant condition in the cotton goods
market it would be necessary to close
down unless the operatives would ac
cept a cut in wages. It was under
stood that a large majority of the op
eratives agreed to the reduction, bnt
when it went into effect only a small
proportion of tttem remained at work.
Copenhagen. With the exception of
a few Social - Democratic papers the
publication of all newspapers in Den
mark was suspended indefinitely in
consequence of the strike of printers
and its resultant lock-out. The com
positors declare they will hold out for
an eight-hour dayv The bookbinders
also have been locked out. The Em
ployers union notified the United
Trade Federations that it intends to
clare a lock-out of all workmen In the
shipbuilding, metal, cement, textile,
brick-making, leather and other trades
unless the present dispute is speedily
settled.
Birmingham, Ala. At a largely at
tended meeting of the coal operators,
both furnace, commercial and inde
pendent, held here, an organization
was perfected. The objects of the or
ganizations are to promote stable, just,
harmonious and business-like relations
between the coal operators of Alabama,
their employes and the public; to aid
in seeing that suspension of operations
in violation of contract is visited with
adequate penalties; to see that any
member of this association suffering
from strikes in violation of contract is
sustained and supported.
Milwaukee, Wis. Armed with invi
tations from the Citizens Business
league, James McGuire, delegate from
this city, has secured for Milwaukee
the 1909 convention of the Glass Blow
ers' association of the United States
and Canada. It will be held the first
Monday in July and will bring several
hundred delegates. This will be the
first time the glass blowers have met
in Milwaukee, the center of large op
erations in bottle manufacturing.
Indianapolis, Ind. The Central La
bor union of this city adopted a res
olution commending Samuel Gompers
for his attitude towards the anti-injunction
law. The resolution also
condemns the "unjust attitude of cer
tain judges and courts in decisions
rendered against members of organ
ized labor."
Washington. Average hourly wages
in the United States in 1907 were
higher than in any other year of the
period, 1890 to 1907, and more than
20 per cent, higher than the average
in any year from 1890. to 1900.
San Francisco. The French laun
dries have reported that the Japanese
laundries are seriously affecting their
business and have promised to sup
port the Anti-Japanese League morally
and financially.
London, England. Owing to the
great dearth of work in the Fairfield
shipyard. Go van, the employes are to
have three weeks' holiday, and
thereafter only eight hours a day for
five days a week.

for the ensuing year was adopted re
cently at a conference between repre
sentatives of the steel interests and of
the Amalgamated Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers.
London, Eng. The last of the Clyde
shipbuilding strikes came to an end
only recently when the tinsmiths re
sumed work on the employers' terms
of reduced wages. The men had been
on strike since the first of the year.
The wage dispute is therefore at an
end in Glasgow and the shipbuilding
centers along the Clyde.
New Bedford, Mass. Weavers"
union has laid over the proposed
amendment making it obligatory for
members to have their families en
rolled in their respective craft organ
izations before becoming eligible to
hold any office in the union or to rep
resent the union in any labor conven
tion or central labor body.
London, Eng. Serious mining ca
tastrophes recorded in the United
Kingdom last year have resulted In an
increase in the death rate from 1.29

lieries of the United Kingdom than in
those of other countries, except Aus
tria and Belgium.

Stationary Firemen.
