STATIONARY ENGINEERS.
Move on Foot to Reorganize This
Craft in Lincoln.
A movement is on foot to reorgan
ize the Stationary Engineers of this
city anil t.uburbs, and to that end a
petition is being circulated. There are
perhaps fifty or sixty stationary en
gineers employed in Lincoln and
Havelock, and the promoters are con
vinced that a live organization can be
perfected without a great deal of ef
fort. The stationary engineers . were
well organized in Lincoln several
years ago, but during the duM times
the organization dwindled down until
finally there were not enough dues
paying members left to hold a charter.
Now that, there is a revival of the
union spirit in all directions, the en
gineers are showing a disposition to
again got into the game.
As soon as a .suilicient. number of
men show their interest by signing up
an organizer will come to Lincoln and
proceed to charter a local. That this
will be easy is evidenced by the fact
that already enough have signified
their willingness to join. The matter
will be pushed to the limit.
Cleveland, O. All who realize wha$
burdens and cruelties little children
endure, in the more backward or more
callous states, because there is no
uniformity in the laws which limit the
hours of work for boys and girls and
fix the lowest age for their legal em
ployment in factories and mills, must
wish the Civic Federation success in
the efforts which it is making to
bring about uniform child labor laws
in all parts of the country. If there
were uniformity it would surely be
based' upon humane and enlightened
precedents. The more advanced states
would furnish the pattern, not those
which are careless of the health and
lives of their children. Cleveland i
Leader.
London, Eng. At a meeting of the
Northeastern railway men of all
grades held at Middlesborough to con
sider the concessions granted to the
workmen under the recent award of
Sir James Woodhouse respecting
wages and working conditions, general
dissatisfaction was expressed with
the award and a resolution was car
ried by 195 votes to 20 declaring that
the terms of the award were an insult
to the Intelligence of the men and a
mockery to their labor, and that a con
ference be called to enforce a standing
day of eight hours for all grades.
London, Kng. About a thousand
employes in the Yorkshire pottery
trade of Castleehire, Knottingley, Fer
rybridge and Rotherham have handed
in notices to leave off work. The re
quest of the employes was that a
uniform price; list should be estab
lished, and from the employers' point
of view this would mean an advance
of ten per cent. The employers de
clined to accede to this request, and
so the men have decided to "come
out" ofter a ballot on the point.
Washington. Trade organizations
were started in Japan in 1886, mostly
on the lines of the interests of em
ployers and workmen being in har1
mony, etc. These organizations were
not only tolerated by the authorities
but furthered by them, so that some
unions attained a considerable exten
sion notably the printers in Tokyo.
Since 1900 a different spirit has en
tered into the labor movement, chief
ly under the influence of socialists.
