CAPITAL AUXILIARY
LABOR BETRAYED
Congress Killed Amendment to
Law In Its Favor.
HARD BLOW TO WORKERS.
Tha Retention of tha Proviso Would
Havo Prevented tha Criminal Prose
cution of Workers Under tha Sher
man Anti -trust Law.
The executive couucll of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, which was
In Besslon in Washington during the
closing days of congress, received
with Indlguntion the information that
the house bad yielded Its amendment
to the sundry civil bill against the
use of the special appropriation for the
prosecution of the organizations of
labor under the Sherman anti-trust
law.
"A betrayal of the rights and Inter
ests of the workers of the country,"
Is the way the executive council char
acterized the action of the house In
rescinding Its former instructions to
Us conferees to oppose the stand of
the senate agninst the labor clause.
In an official statement the executive
council called attention to the fact ttmt
the department of Justice was respon
sible for the indictment of seventy-five
workmen In New Orleans a few years
ago under the charge of violating the
Sherman act when they gave their
support to fellow workers on strike.
The same Inw was recently used, says
the statement, to convict a number of
union farmers in Kentucky for com
bining to get decent prices for their
products.
After referring to the Danbury hat
case and to the damage suit which
lias Just been started against a num
ber of sympathizers of the recent New
York shirt waist strike, the statement
concludes: "The retention of the house
proviso in the sundry civil appropria
tion bill would not only have prevent
ed the criminal prosecution of work
men engaged In the normal activities
to protect and promote their rights
and interests, but It would also be de
claratory In character, tending to
ward a solution which now practically
outlaws the associated effort of the
workers in defense of their personal
rights and Interests."
The reactionary part played by Pres
ident Taft in forcing the regulars to
line up against the house proviso
which had beeu introduced by Repre
sentative Uugbes of New Jersey Is
described In glowing terms by the ad
ministration organs in Washington.
Here la the Washington Post's story,
showing the animus of the president
and the prejudice of the paper against
labor unions:
"President Taft yesterday ordered
the house Republicans into a finish
fight on the troublesome little Issue
raised by the labor amendment to the
sundry civil bill, and worked with
might and main himself until be saw
them win.
"As the result of stiffening influence
liberally applied at the White House,
the representatives, by a vote of 133 to
130, receded from their action In de
claring the labor unions immune from
the operation of the fund authorized
to prosecute Infractions of the Sher
man antitrust law, and Joined the
senate In Its view that punishment
under this law should extend to full
legal lengths and Include. If necessary,
conspiracies in the nature of boycotts
to Increase wages, shorten hours or
better conditions of labor."
t When the amendment came up on
the floor Congressmen Tawney and
Uugbes clashed and led the opposing
forces. On the vote by which the
house rejected the Hughes amend
ment, twenty-one Republicans, most of
them recognized insurgents, voted with
the Democrats in favor of the labor
proviso. A good many Republicans
and Democrats "ducked" the vote and
fled to the corridors.
Representative Uugbes (Democrat)
ef New Jersey, author of the provision
jxemrt!nr labor unions from prosecu
tion under the SuermiTu anti-trust law,
has since issued a statement criticis
ing the president's attitude in the mat
ter. Mr. Uugbes said In part:
"Unfortunately for the laboring pea
pie of this country. President Taft en
tirely miscoucelved the purpose of my
amendment. It was not, ashe stated,
Ik proposition to legalize a boycott, but
to protect working people from prose
cution for doing iuuocent acts in com
bination; In other words, to enable
them to strike for higher wages even
though eugaged In Interstate com
merce or in the production of a com
modity that is the subject of interstate
Commerce. . -
"The president says lu his tetter to
W. S. Carter of the locomotive Bremen
and engtnemeu that be is against class
legislation on Ibis subject, but on Jan.
7. IfKlO. be sent a special message to
congress In which he urged it to enact
legislation which would permit corpor
ations to carry on their business de
spite the Sherman antitrust law. In
the eleven pages of that message
which be used to discuss the legisla
tion desired be does not make a single
reference to labor unions."
Tha Federation Grows.
Since October of last year tbe Amer
ican Federation f I.abor has Issued
2X1 charters to new er.:aii;zasi:-.ns. as
compared with III ch.;rie:-s for the
roi'ivsMudlng ieriod tbe year before.
Of tin organizations receiving charters
ninety-eight were new local unions.

UNIONS FOR WOMEN.
Only Way to Gain Their Rights. Says
Rose Schneiderman.
Rose Selineiderman. a prominent
leader in the Women's Trades Union
League and one of the strike leaders
who contributed to the success of the
Kcucrnl strike of shirtwaist girls in
New York city, is conducting an agita
tion tour of the country for the pur
pose of exhorting working girls all
over the country to join the ranks of
organized labor.
Miss Selineiderman in her appeal to
the ('.000.000 working girls of the
country to form unions says: "The
need for organization among the wom
en wage earners is Just as great in
Holyoke mills as in New York sweat
shops. The girls must take united ac
tion. If one girl should demand n fifty-two
hour working week the em
ployer would tell ber she was crazy
and rotild look for a Job somewhere
else. But if all girls demanded a fifty-two
hour week In a shop, and if all
the other wage earners in tbe city or
oven a part stood back of these girls,
the company would have to grant
their demands. The women wage
earners must learn the value of bar
gaining collectively, of the strength of
workliift together and of the power of
the working people.
"The employer doesn't want his girls
to organize because he knows their
power. He will give all sorts of bribes
in order to prevent organization
among these is welfare work. lie Is
willing to pay a girl's doctor's bill, but
he has ruined her health by hard
work: he will furnish a couch for theru
to faint on when overcome by long
hours: be will give money to hospitals
to take care of the Injured: but he will
not give fair wages and short hours."
There are 0,000,000 wage earning
women in the United States.
NEW JERSEY IN LINE.
Children Under Fifteen May No Longer
Work at Night.
New Jersey takes a step forward.
An effort has been made for five
years to restrict night employment of
children in factories which operate a
double shift, writes Owen It. Lovejoy
in the Survey. This has been opposed
by glass manufacturers on the ground
that the Industry could not succeed un
less children under sixteen years were
permitted to work at night.
The committee was able to show that
the glass industry has steadily in
creased in states which forbid such
employment notably In Ohio and Illi
noisand after a lively campaign in
which the New Jersey child labor com
mittee and the Consumers league, la
bor unions, women's clubs, churches
and other organizations took an active
part a law was passed providing that
after July 4 no child under fifteen
years of age may work at night, and
after July 4, 1911, no child under six
teen may be so employed.
This places New Jersey with Illinois.
New York and Ohio among the glass
manufacturing states which forbid
child labor nt night and gives tbe most
substantial encouragement yet re
ceived to the effort which will be put
forth next year to secure similar legis
lation in Pennsylvania, ludiana and
West Virginia.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION.
New York Carpenters to Try to Com
pel It by Law.
The New York state council of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
has drafted an amendment to tbe state
constitution, to be presented to tbe
legislature at tbe next session, provid
ing for compulsory compensation for
carpenters Injured at their work. The
amendment provides that one-sixth of
the annual taxation for the compensa
tion fund shall be levied on the work
men, three-sixths on tbe employers
and two-sixths on the state.
It is proposed to ask all candidates
for the legislature how they stand
toward such a measure before election.
The Brotherhood of Carpenters U one
of tbe largest organizations In the
American Federation of Labor. There
are about 1!),0C)0 in New York city
alone.

BLOW AT UNION LABOR.
Manufacturers Would Amend the Im
migration Law.
At the fifteenth annual convention
of the National Association of Manu
facturers, held recently in New York,
a suggested amendment to the immi
gration law was reported by a special
committee. It reads:
"That it shall be lawful to import
skilled labor wheu the person import
ing cannot obtain laborers of like kind
in this country who will work for him
at the rate of wages prevailing gen
erally in this country for such labor;
that the secretary of commerce aud
labor be authorized and directed upon
the application of any employer and
upon his showing the facts set forth
as above to grant to such persou per
mission to import such labor; that
warrants for the arrest and deporta
tion of aliens who have landed be
issued only by a United States com
missioner or United States judge and
then ouly upon such sworn troiupluiuts
ns- are now necessary in criminal cases
and that aliens be given speedy trials
and right of appeal to the United States
district court, as in cases of Chinese,
and to higher courts and trials to be
conducted as in criminal -cases, except
as to a jury."
This move of the association is iu
keeping with the assertion: of Presi
dent Samuel Gompers. made two
years ago. that the association of man
ufacturers, headed by the late Jame:
W. Van Cleave, was seeking to destroy
organized h:b'r. !f such ::n i'.v.'.er.d
ment to the immigration laws is made
it would mean that skilled labor could
be brought Into this country to break
almost every strike.
Mayor Seidel to City Officials.

A Hint to Business Men.
E. Fancher. city salesman for the
Inland Printing company of Spokane,
Wash., and a former organizer of the
International Typographical union, has
adopted a new method for handling-
his trade which has proved a great
business getter. He has prepared sta
tistics showing tbe amount of money
paid out to printers employed in the
book and job offices of Spokane. The
detailed figures are printed on the
back of the estimate sheets sent out
by the Inland company, with the re
quest that merchants always demand:
tbe union label on their printing and
have all their printing done in Spo
kane. The plan could be used witlt
great success in almost any locality. '
