Seattle. Wash.. Mrs. Grace D. Oh
nimus, widow of Louis J. Ohnimus. a
writer of animal stories and a city
official of San Francisco, was probably
the first woman in San Francisco to
Join the union labor movement. She
was a warm friend of Eugene Schmitz,
the former mayor of San Francisco.
She composed all the songs used in
three political campaigns in San Fran
cisco, and a quintet, made up of her
sisters and brothers and managed by
her, proved a greater drawing card at
the great political gatherings than any
of the speakers. She stumped the
state for Theodore A. Bell, when he
was the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor. Until a few years ago Mrs.
Ohnimus was on the stage with Henry
Miller's all-star casts for a number of
seasons. She has also done consid

Berlin. The lockout of 8,000 sMd
riveters which is in effect at the Vul
can shipbuilding yard at Stettin, Ger
many, threatens to spread throughout
the country. The trouble had its origin
in the refusal of the men to accept
the terms of their employers relative
to the payment of overtime rates and
in their objection to working extra
hours in the completion of contracts.
The local Iron Masters' association de
cided" to reduce the output of all their
furnaces 60 per cent, in order 'to co
erce the men, and, should this meas
ure not induce the riveters to return
to work it is the intention of the iron
masters to introduce a proposition be
fore the German National Federation
of Metal Workers to entirely close
down all their works throughout the
empire.
New York. The Pennsylvania Rail
road Company has apparently de
cided to make way with the unions on
its system. A circular reciting this
determination is alleged to have been
sent out to the various superlnten-

Kansas City, Mo. Several promi
nent members of the Arkansas Farm
ers' union met recently to discuss
plans of interest to the union ware
houses and gins of Arkansas. It was
suggested that .Memphis be made' a
clearing house for union cotton of
Mississippi, Texas and Arkansas, and
that Little Rock be made a sub-clearing
house for Arkansas alone, and
that the union cotton be handled from
the local warehouses throughout the
state to the central warehouse in Lit
tle Rock, from the warehouse to Mem
phis and from that point to the Eng
lish spinners or other purchasers.
Chicago. The strike declared . by
the employes of the Elgin-Belvidere

reinstated. All other differences are
to be settled by arbitration.
Fort Worth, Tex. Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, opened his campaign for
the Democratic national ticket here
recently. He began with a defense of
unionism and diverted to a discussion
of strikes, saying that the strike was
a weapon of labor to be- used only in
cases "of extreme necessity. He closed
with an appeal for every man present,
regardless of political affiliation, to
vote for Bryan.
Montreal. Dr. Pelletier, a member
of the Quebec legislature, is urging
the Canadian unions to break away
from all internationals having head
quarters in the United States. Some
are approving of the plan.
Butte, Mont. Negotiations between
the Wyoming coal operators and the
committee from the United Mine

dents ordering "that superintendents
will, through their organization, in
form themselves concerning such em
ployes in the various classes as may
be members of the unions, and remove
at the earliest possible moment the
leaders in our employ, and that they
will follow this up with the removal
of all other employes, members of the
unions, that have not severed their
connection with such unions."
London. The relation of the work
ingmen to the peace movement was
the principal topic of discussion at the
peace congress in London recently.
The general trend of the debates was
in favor of the idea that the workers
of the world should absolutely refuse
to take up arms unless the quarrel
had first been submitted to an impar
tial international tribunal. A resolu
tion was adopted to invite representa
tives of trade organizations to attend
future peace congresses on the ground
that the cause of peace lay largely in
the bands of the laboring men.
Detroit, Mich. As the result of
Congressman Edwin Denby's open
shop stand last fall, William D. Ma
nor., president of the Amalgamated
Association of Street Railway Em
ployes, is the Democratic candidate
for congress to run" against Denby.
St. Paul, Minn. Through its po
litical organization the Minnesota
State Federation of Labor is working
to secure the adoption by the state
and municipalities of the eight-hour
day, municipal ownership of public
service utilities, payment of wages
weekly, the initiative and referendum,
securing better sanitary conditions,
abolition of contract labor in state
prisons, compulsory education and em
ployers' liability act.
Rio Janeiro. The Japanese immi
grants who were sent to the State of
Sao Paulo by the Imperial ImmigraV
tion company of Tokio, are leaving
that section in large numbers. They
have been at work on the coffee plan
tations, but apparently were not satis
fied with the employment. Many of
them have arrived at Rio Janeiro for
the purpose of securing employment
as domestic servants or similar occu
pations. Portland, Me. The strike of the
granite cutters and quarrymen at Vin
alhaven. Me., which began March 1,
is over. The unions waived the wage
increase and secured concessions re
garding the limitation of the use of
pneumatic tools.
Chicago. The Illinois Steel com
pany has employed 1.000 additional
men at its South Chicago plant. Of
the 7,000 men normally employed in
the mill only 4,000 have been working
the past few months. The mills are
now rushed for orders and will in
crease the force through the winter.
Birmingham, Ala. An official order
calling off the strike of coal miners in
the Birmingham district was issued
to all the camps in this section. It
was signed by President Lewis, Vice
President White and Secretary-Treasurer

ers of America.
