LABOR NOTES.

Municipal printing in Troy, n. Y
must bear the union label.
In 1858 General Shafter was brake
man on the Hannibal & st. Joe railroa,
in Missouri.
Cleveland union cigarmakers VIII

The cities of Oakland, CAL, and Mon

The city council of Philadelphia hal
passed an ordinance requiring that al
work done for the city shall be executed
by union men and union scales of wages

The way to strengthen an orgainza-
ton is to become members and assist in
shaping its policy. When you do this
you have no excuse that the other fel.
low is running it.
Among the statements contained in q
circular issued by one of the parties
during the recent local campaign of
big SIX" was the following: "Chicago
union owes the International Typograph-
ical union $1,000 in borrowed money"
AS the foregoing is absolutely false, to
allow it to pass unchallenged would be
rejecting discredit upon the officers and
members Of No. l6. During the Dono-
hue & Henneberry strike. in 1862,
thousands Of dollars were expended by
No. 16. and the International extended
such aid as the law permitted, it's share
Of the burden being over $1,000. The
local union, finding it's treasury depleted
applied to the International officers for
temporary loans, the requests being
granted to the extent of 1000. We are
pleased to announce that this indebted
ness was paid as promptly as the
finances Of No. 16 would permit, and
without any urging on the part of the
officials at headquarters. As a matter
Of fact, Chicago. union is exceedingly
prompt in meeting it's obligations to the
parent body, thus rejecting great
credit alike upon it's officers and mem,
bers. The last quarterly report at hand
shows that No. 16 had about $1,000 in
it's treasury-an excellent condition of
affairs when everything is taken into
consideration. Typographical journal.

Strike Ended,

The woodworkers' strike at Oshkosh
Wis, is at an end, satisfactory terms
being settled upon, and the strikers
have returned to work.
= Never in the history of strikes was
there more determined struggle than
this. Two thousand men, most of them
not having the advantage of even a
common school education, many of whom
had worked for years for dollar and
some even for Is and 80 cents a day,
went on strike with a green and mex.
perienced organization and held out like
grim death for nearly four months.
Special praise is due Mr.. Thomas l.
K i'd, who managed the strike as the
executive officer of the International
Woodworkers' union.
