There is no duty that ought to be
thought, more serious than the duty we all
owe to each other in the matter of prevent
ing any infection we may have from
spreading to others. It is a sacred duty
which nations, families and individuals
owe to others. To take infection know
ingly among others is morally murder.
Every one should recognize the truth of
this. The precautions which every one
ought to take, but which many willfully
neglect, are the following:

Pittsburg. Pa. The United States
Steel corporation has begun the pro
cess of eliminating from its mills all
those with pronounced union ten
dencies, who might with reason be
suspected of scattering seeds of union
ism among the other workmen. Many
skilled workmen employed by the cor
poration have been discharged re
cently from employment iu the mills.
where they had long worked, and on
Inquiring the cause for their discharge
they were told that they talked too
much or too loudly. -In most of the
cases of those thus discharged they
found on inquiring for work at other
plants of the steel corporation that
there was no work for them, a black
list having apparently been prepared.
Over 200 former well-known union
men have been discharged, it is re
ported. This condition of affairs is
found in all nonunion mills of the cor
poration, but not at the mills of the
American Sheet Tin Plate Company,
where thrikes are now on. The em
ployers appear to have found men at
work inside of their mills who,
though working as individuals, were
still strong union men at heart, and
it is these that they decided to get
rid of.
Chicago. The last shadow of the
trouble between the street railway
companies of this city and their em
ployes, which threatened to lead to a
strike of great proportions, has passed
away. Formal peace under a SH-ycar
contract was agreed upon at a meet
ing between the officials of the corn
pacies and of the unions. The propo
sition x made by President John M.
Roach of the North and West side
lines, which foreshadowed peace, was
made to the South side unions by
President T. E. Mitten. It was ac
cepted by President M. EL Buckley,
representing the union men. The new
nitn are given 23 cents an hour for
the first six months. 24 cents for the
next six months. 23 cents for the sec
ond year. 2fi cents for the third year,
and 27 cents until the contract ex
pires. February 1, 1913.
New York. The Art Glass Workera
union, composed of the men who make
ornamental glass work for the tops
of doors and windows In offices, sa
loons and Trivate residences, was or
ganised at Stuyvesant hall. There are
comparatively few men in the trade,
but more are coming into it on ac
count of the increasing demand for
ornamental glass work. The union, it
was said, was formed to fix wages and
hours of work before so many people
got into the trade that there would
be open competition.
Cleveland. An increase of 50 cents
per day was won by 120 marble work
ers through a strike which began here
July 1. "The settlement will be Im
portant when the marble work goes
imo the county court house and thd
new post office," said Secretary
Thomas. The men were setters and
helpers employed by the Xorcross
Company and the Vermont Marble
Company. Seventy setters will receive
five dollars per day instead of $4.50
and 50 helpers two dollars instead of
$1.50, beginning in eight weeks.
Jjresden, uermany. Owing to a
a great increase in membership, the
premises occupied by the offices, etc..
of the trade unions have been found
insufficient for their proper acconi
commodation, and two adjacent houses
have been purchased, the total value
of the premises (freehold) being $164,
000. The membership of the Dresden
unions ts now over 60,000, as against
15,000 in 1902, when the first house
was taken.
Pittsburg, Pa. The largest mass
meeting of strikers since the begin
ning, nearly five weeks ago, of the
strike against the Pressed Steel Car
Company at Schoenville. was held last
week. V. E. Trautman, general or
ganizer of the Industrial Workmen of
the World, addressed the meeting,
urging the men to remain firm. The
company is taking precautions to pro
tect the workmen now in the plant.

N. C, which place was selected at

London, Eng. Building trade union
membership in England has slipped
back, decreasing by about 14 per cent.
on the three years.
New York. Between 12,000 and 15,
000 machinists in New York city and
vicinity, represented in District Coun
cil No. 15, International Association
of Machinists, have made a demand
upon the New York and New Jersey
Metal Trades association for an in

and upward and the closed shop.

St. Joseph. Mo. The sliding scale
mortuary benefit, fathered by Dele
gate J. A. Jackson of St. Lonis was
adopted by the International Typo
graphical union. To support the bene
fit, which provides $75 for one-year
members to $100 for 15-year members,
a tax of one-half of one per cent, on
the earnings of all members of the
union will be imposed. As the earn
ings of the members annually reach
the sum of $-10,000,000 the tax win
obtain for the benefit fund the sum of
$200,000. The proposition of Delegate
C. W. Fear of Joplin to instaU a mol
ing picture road show to advertise the
union label and other matters con
nected with printerdom was killed,
the proposition being allowed to rest
in the hands or any local union which
might desire to equip a show.
