ELECTRICIANS IN DEMAND

DO NOT HAVE TO SEEK EMPLOY
MENT AND THEIR WAGES ARE
INCREASING.
Washington, Sept 25.-Electrical
workers do not have to search for en-
ployment, according to R. w. Sherman,
the secretary Of the National Brother
hood OF Electrical Workers Of America,
who testified last week before the In
dustrial Commission.
Mr.. Sherman told the commission
that all over the county employers
were looking for good men, and in one
instance they had gone so far as to pay
the fares of men and their families and
the freight on their household goods
to induce them to go to a town where
there were not enough men to satisfy
the demand. The result of this condi-
tiOn was that the tendency OF wages
was upward, and men averaged more
than s225 per day, with an allowance
of from one-Quarter to one-half for
over time.
The brotherhood now included only
about 2 per cent. Of the electrical work
ers Of the country, but Mr.. Sherman
said it was growing. and important ad-
ditions were soon to be made by TAX
ing in Independent organizations. He
said local unions could not order strikes
without the approval of the national
body, and the national organization
was conservative and never ordered a
strike unless there seemed to be every
reason to believe that 1t would have
the sympathy of the community in
which it was ordered.
Mr.. Sherman said he favored a CON-
pulsory arbitration of labor troubles
and he thought both the workmen anC
the employers should be bound by th'
decision Of the arbitrators. Mr.. Sher
man favored the governmental contro
of telephone and telegraph lines.
w. H. Allen, OF Brooklyn, who wa
on the stand on the subject Of immi
grafton, finished his statement, ant
made further arguments in support o
his theory that aliens who come int
the United States to live permanent,
or temporarily send abroad to relative
or take back with them so much none,
as to endanger the financial stability O
the country in times Of financial trOu
