New York. In his annual report
submitted to Mayor McClellan, John
N. Bogart, commissioner of licenses,
declares that labor conditions in the
city have not improved since" the panic
of 1907, and that the books of the em
ployment agencies of the city show a
decided falling off in the amount of
unskilled labor employed in the cry
since that time. Speaking of the fad
ing off in the demand for men in the
technical and clerical occupations who
are paid a higher salary than S12 and
$15 weekly, Mr. Bogart says the
agencies explain the situation by say
ing that during the financial depres
sion of last year the lower salaried
men were dismissed and the slight Im
provement in business has caused
some of the employers now to begin
the experiment of filling their places.
Reading, Pa. The Reading Com
pany's shops in this city and on the
system are to work longer hours. The
men at the locomotive shop, who have
been working 36 hours a week for a
long time, will go on 45 hours. The
car-shop men, who have been making
45 hours a week, will work 50 hours.
The officials have issued orders to hire
300 additional men at the various re
pair shops on the system. Of this
number, Reading will employ at least
50. The increased hours of work are
due to a general improvement In the
condition of trade and the assurance
of peace In the anthracite coal fields
for at least three years. The increased
hours at the shops in this city will be
good news to the 2,500 people em
ployed there.
Winnipeg, Manitoba. The miners
employed at the Canada West Coal

berta, are on strike. The coal opera

jority of the workmen are out. Pos
sibly of a total of 75,000 workmen in

Albany, N. T. One hundred and

for many years president of the CIti
xens Industrial association of Amer

Oakland, Cal. Inducements are be
ing made to. the carpet mechanics to
again affiliate with the international
Milwaukee, Wis. Something in .the
way of a novelty for the Journeymen
Barber's International union is soon
to take place. The novelty will be in
the form of an international conven
tion, and may be called a novelty be
cause it is the first that the organiza
tion has held in five years. It will be
held in this city beginning October 5,
and will occupy about one week. The
organization was formed in 1887, In
Buffalo, N. Y., at a meeting that was
attended by five men representing five
local unions of barbers. The member
ship when formed was about 150, and
the membership, in good standing, at
the present time, Is about 26,000. The
conventions of the international were
held each year until 1894, when it was
decided that they should be held each
two years. " At a later convention it
was decided that they should be held
each three years, and since then there
has been no international convention
of the barbers. In support of this pol
icy the argument is advanced that con
siderable money is saved. One of the
matters that will be brought np at the
Milwaukee convention will be a propo
sition to establish a home for barbers,
something after the nature of the
home of the International Typographi
cal union. Jacob Fischer, of this city,
international secretary of the barbers,
visited the printers home several
months ago, and expressed much satis
faction with what he saw. He will
make a report of his visit during the
convention.
