Indianapolis, Ind. Various interna
lional labor unions throughout the
country are, and have been for some
time, taking much interest in the
Union Printers' home at Colorado
Springs, Col., conducted by the In
ternational Typographical union. Va
rious internationals have taken under
consideration the establishment of a
horrfe along similar lines for their own
members. In the current issue of the
Bricklayer and Mason, the official
journal of the Bricklayers' and ' Ma
sons' International union, there is an
illustrated article dealing in an espe
cially clear and thorough manner with
the printers': home and its method of
operation. Speaking of its expense,
the article says that one minute of his
working time each day is what every
union printer in North America gives
as his mite toward the maintenance
of the Union Printers' home. Every
month every one of the 45,000 mem
bers of the International Typograph
ical union pays an assessment of 15
cents half a cent a day, or less than
the amount the average printer will
earn in a minute's working time. Con
tinuing, the article says: "It is a
small sacrifice, but it is this small sac
rifice, coming from every man. work
ing in co-operation with his fellow la
borers, which gives to the home an
annual fund of $90,000 for mainte
nance and improvements.
New York. The long threatened
general strike of the Kosher Butchers'
union throughout the city-for union
conditions began in 800 kosher butch
er shops in Manhattan, The Bronx,
Williamsburg and East New York.
Headquarters were established at 133
Eldridge street, where the strikers as
they came from the store reported.
About twenty committees were ap
pointed to go to the shops in an effort
to induce the non-union kosher butch
ers to strike. The demands of the
strikers are as follows: Working
hours to be, from five a. m. to five
p. in. with half an hour' off for break
fast and an hour off for dinner. Gen
eral recognition of the union and
union cards to be displayed in the win
dows of the stores. Minimum wages
from $8 to $12 a week for the various
grades of workmen, and the abolition
of the rule by which kosher butchers
board with employers. t
Washington. A report has Just been
published (dealing with the first eight
months, from August 14, 1907, to
March 31, 1908, of the new Danish
act concerning unemployment benefit
societies. At the end of the above
term there were 34 such societies duly
recognized; 31 of . this total covered
the whole country, three only one
province (Zealand). The aggregate

tricts. Washington. The city of Ulm, In
Germany, deals with the problem, of
homes for wage-earners In a way that

dents in other countries. The city

terms. After 20 years of this experi

their homes. The death rate Is ' no
ticeably lower than In other cities of
Germany.
London, England. Insurance

ment will succeed is still a matter of
doubt, but a strenuous effort will be
made to obtain the passage of such a
law.

tional secretary-treasurer of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, has. in the United
Mine Workers' , Journal the official
publication of the organization, a
warning in regard to any local unions
sending in more votes than they are
entitled to according to the number
of members for whom tax Is paid to
the international. The notice sets
forth that there Is being received at
the headquarters. In this city, letters
from secretaries of local unions, of
the organization all over the country
telling how many ballots It will be
necessary to send in order that the
total membership1 may be supplied.
Continuing, it says: t "In nearly every
case the number given exceeds the
number on which the local union pays
per capita tax. It would be an easy
matter for this office to supply any
local union with the number of ballots
asked for, but by so doing we may be
the cause of having the entire vote
of the local thrown out by the tellers.
When the tellers come to this city to
count the vote, our ledgers are turned
over to them, and in every case where
a local sends in a vote larger than
the number of members for which
they pay tax, the vote is not counted."
In large and conspicuous letters, the
advice Is given: "If you want your
vote to be counted, hold your election
on December 14, according to the constitution,-and
use your return sheet.
Do not send the ballots back to us.','

Cheerfulness
These morning make you think of the fur
nace, eh? And coal bills? But what's the use
of worrying yet there's lots of time. Chilly
mornings and evenings? They can be cured at
small expense smaller than worrying and feed-
ing the furnace. . v
A Gas Heater
Does the Work
Attach it to the gas jet in dining room; sit
tiug room or bath room. ' No work, no worry.
A cent or two and the room is comfortably
warm, and the furnace out of business for weeks
and weeks to come. Cheaper and cleaner and
better. With the furnace you must use enough
coal to heat the house and most of it wasted
these days. The gas heater merely gives you
the heat you need, where you need it and when.
Ask the Users Their Advice
We'll stand that test you ask those who
are using the heater these days. Several thous
and of them, and you ought to among the num
ber. We sell the heaters, good ones, at a low price.
