Chicago. The organization of a new
Utsor union, embracing the 2,540,000
onion employes on 70,000 miles of rail
wej. has just been completed here by
the merger of 25 unions of American,
Canadian and Mexican railroad men,
or affiliated with railway employes.
It will be known-as "The Railroad Em
ployes Department of the American
Federation of Labor, and though af
filiated with the A. F. of U will be
conducted as a separate governing
body. The temporary officers ere H

president, and D. Y- Roderick of the
Machinists', secretary-treasurer. A
permanent organization will be effect
ed at a meeting in Chicago in August.
Joliet. I1L Failure of the company
to accede to their demands for a ten
hour instead of an eight-hour day led
to a walkout of 200 car repairers at
the Joliet shops of the Elgin, Joliet
& Eastern. The unusual demand for
ten hour day hinges on the fact
that the men say they can not make
living wages working eight hours and
they declare that they will work two
hours longer to get more money. Un
der officials at the shops claim that
they have not the work to furnish for
more hours. There are 700 men in the
shops and a sympathetic strike may
result.
Indianapolis. Ind. If an amendment
now being voted upon by Internation
al Cigar Makers union is adopted, the
organization will establish a pension
system for old members. The matter
is being favorably acted upon through
out the entire jurisdiction and the
general opinion is that it will be
adopted. The system will go into ef
fect on January 1. 1910, and the first
payment of pensions will be made
March 1, 1910, if the amendment is
ratified. At the present time, it is in
tended to levy an assessment of 25
cents every quarter, with the inten
tion of increasing the amount if the
assessment is not sufficient.
Pittsburg. At a conference between
the Republic Iron and Steel Company
and Amalgamated association officials
the 1909 scale was signed, thereby
preventing a walkout of about 10,000
men employed in the Republic Com
pany's plants. The 1909 scale signed
is practically a duplication of last
year's scale with a few minor
changes. The puddlers scale, also
signed, based on the selling price of
bar iron, was fixed at $5.12 Vj a ton
for the next 60 days. This is a reduc
tion of 12' 4 cents under the previous
basis for puddlers.
Butler, Pa. The strike, which for
four days tied up the Standard Steel
Car Company's works, was settled and
tne 3,500 employes of the plant re
turned to work. The settlement is a
partial victory for both sides. The
company officials agreed to take back
all of the workmen, and consented to
a reduction of the per cent, of delin
quent rents taken from the pay enve
lopes of the men each week.
Denver. Joseph Hutchinson, execu
tive board member of the Western
Federation of Miners made his nnimi
report. He recommended the aboli
tion of the positions of president, vice-
president and the present executive
board and the creation of a new board
composed of one nonsalaried member
from every state and territory in
which the organisation operates.
New York. Four thousand men are
said to have seceded from the Interna
tional Brotherhood of Teamsters and
formed an organisation which they call
the Independent International Brother
hood of Teamsters. They are said to
be mostly men who have been out on
strike in the city during the last six
mouths without the sanction of the
International brotherhood.
La crosse. Wis. The board of ar
bitration, appointed to dispose of ques
tions which caused the recent street
railwayman's' strike, agreed. The
principal point was in regard to the
status of Louis Thrun. leader of the
strike, whom the company refused to
reinstate because of his alleged i
licious activity. The board decided
that he should be put back at work.
The company will accept the decision.
Washington. Ind. A portion of the
car repairers and builders at the B.
& O. Southwestern shops have been
placed on piece work and the rumor
is current that this is the beginning
of the installation of the entire shops
on the piece work plan. It was this
method of work which caused the re
cent strike of the machinists on the
B. & O. lines, which threatened a like
situation in this city.
Washington. TCnion labor will give
Samuel - Gompers, president of the
American federation or Labor, an en
thusiastic reception when he visits
this city after his return from Europe.
Mr. Gompers will be met at the sta
tion and made the principal figure of
a parade. Several representatives of
labor in congress will address the as
semblage, as will also Mr. Gompers.
Pittsburg, Pa- The Follansbee
brothers' tin mill at Follansbee, W.
Va, and the Pope tin mill of this city
signed the scale asked for by the
Amalgamated association, thus pre
venting a strike at these plants. About
1,000 men are affected.
Galveston, Tex. After electing of
ficers for the ensuing year and select
ing New York as the convention city
for 1910. the International Longshore
men's association adjour-3d sine die.
President T. V. O'Connor, who has
been filling out the unexpired term of
Daniel J. Keefe. was elected by accla
mation.
Milwaukee. After a long and
tedious discussion in the day's ses
sion of the convention of the Glass
Bottle Blowers' association of the
United States and Canada the proposi
tion to amalgamate with the Ameri
can Flint Glass Workers union was
defeated by a vote of 197 to 36. By
unanimous rote the convention issued
the following statement, which was
sent to the American Flint Glass
Workers convention now being held
in Brooklyn. X. Y.: "Tour union
took its disputes with our association
into the American Federation of La
bor, and there made an agreement
which you later repudiated. When
you are ready to carry out the agree
ment at Minneapolis we shall be
ready to meet you."
Milwaukee. Rev. Charles StelxeU
who spoke before the glass bottle
blowers, speaking on a square deal,
said: "The most important thing
about the labor question Is to give the
other fellow a square deal. The aver
age workman is too close to the labor
Question to understand it; but what is
true of the average workman, is prob
ably just as true of the average em
ployer. Thousands of men are being
deluded by the vain hope that if they
can abolish the labor union they will
have solved the labor question. If
every union were to be abolished to
day the labor question would still be
present."
Pittsburg. Pa. Advocates of the
open shop principle in the iron and
steel trades received a surprise in the
significant announcement of the sign
ing of the Amalgamated association
wage scale by the Republic Iron
and Steel Company. The action
affects 25.000 men in the Pitts
burg and Toungstown districts. The
mills are at Youngstown, Massillon
and Toledo. O.; East Chicago and Mo-
line, I1L; Gates City, Ala, and East
St. Louis. By the decision the Repub
lic Company has left the steel corpora
tion to fight the union without its
sistance.
Utica, N. T. Sixty-five inspectors
in the Remington Typewriter works
at Ilion who struck in sympathy with
the aligners some time ago, decided
to return to work in the factory. This
virtually settles the fight in favor of
the company, and it may be consid
ered that the strike is broken. The
company now has 800 men at work
and a still larger number will soon
be engaged. Some of the striking
aligners are seeking work elsewhere,
and a number of them will leave town.
The places of the old aligners are be
ing filled without great difficulty.
Charleston, W. Va. Because their
demand for an increase in wages of
cents on a hundred axes was re
fused, 300 grinders and edgers em
ployed at the Kelly Ax Manufactur
ing Company, said to be the largest
plant of its kind in the world, went
on strike. It is claimed that unless
settlement of differences between the
men and officials of the company Is
reached within a few days, the entire
plant will have to be shut down, there
by affecting 1,000 men. . Most of the
strikers are Poles.
Milwaukee. Wis. After being out on
strike since July 1. marble workers
returned to work. The men quit work
in three of the largest works in the
city because their demand for an In
crease of 50 cents a day had not been
granted. The employers made a com
promise offer and the union accepted
the proposition. The terms of settle
ment are being withheld.
New York. B. A. Larger, general
secretary of the United Garment
Workers, left for Europe the latter
part, of last month to represent the
American Federation of Labor at the
British trade- union congress.
Denver, Col. Unless the organiza
tion Bcale Is recognized a strike of all
Western Federation of Miners' mem
bers employed by the American
Smelting tc Refining Company was
recommended on the floor of the con
vention in session here. The report
was referred to a special committee
without debate.
MontreaL Three hundred and fifty
mechanics employed at the - Longne
Point Locomotive works near here
are on strike against the installation
of a new time system. The company
is making no efforts to replace them,
the officers declaring the men do not
understand the proposed change or
they would not object to it.
Boonville, Ind. The striking miners
of the T. D. Scales Coal Company re
turned to work when the company
agreed to weigh the cars as they came
from the pit instead of averaging the
weight by guesswork. After loading
three cars and accepting the miners
method of weight, work was suspend
ed for three weeks.
Dublin. Ireland. The Irish depart
ment of technical instruction has
given a grant of $5,000 for the estab
lishment of a school of commerce in
Limerick.
Pittsburg. Pa. Members of the dis
trict executive board of the United
Mine workers called off the strike of
the 18,000 miners of the Pittsburg Coal
Company. This decision followed
conference with the officials of the
company.
New Castle, Pa. About 3.000 men
walked out of the tin plate plants
when the wage scale of the Tin Plate
Workers association expired. The or
ganization is composed of the rolle
and finishing department of the com
pany and the sheet steel mills of the
American Sheet Steel A Tin Plate
company.
