Milwaukee coal beavers rejected the
proposition of the coal dealers to ad-
vance the wages of the men 20 per
cent. The dealers will not acqufesce in

Dealers say that the cent a ton ad-
vance over last years shoveling prices
was ample. The dealers threaten 10

Samuel Woods, M. P, the secretary
of the Parliamentary Committee OF the
Trades Union Congress, is not getting
in replies very fast to his circular re-
garding the general federation of Brit
ish trades unions. But trades union
secretaries, whether at the head offices
or the branches, are VIGOROUSLY back
ward in furnishing replies, returns and
that sort of thing, and, therefore, this
fact must not be read as meaning that
~. ! fScrh IN
the scheme Some of them will no
doubt fight shy of it, and most Of them
will grumble at one point or another
in the Manchester plan, but the baro-
meter, says London correspondent,
steadily and plainly indicates change
of policy, and the old days of isolated
unions are past. Employees just as
employers in Britain to-day are racing
for the federation goal. What will
happen when both workmen and their
employers are each massed up into hos
tile federations-and the temper of the
time is distinctly one of mutual hos
tility-is a case for conjecture, but the
result will probably be something live
ly.
John Buettner, Secretary Of the Mil
waukee Building Trades Council, has
issued letters calling upon the mem
bers of the Milwaukee Brewers Asso-
citation for conference. The important
change the employees have thus far de-
cided upon to ask in the agreement now
in force, is that all the bar fixtures and
woodwork issued from the brewery
shops or used in saloons have the union
label of the Amalgamated Woodwork
ers imprinted upon it, and that the
wcodworkers be paid 25 cents an hour
fer eight hours work The wages will
remain throughout practically the same
as last year, as follows: Housesmiths
and bridge men, Is cents an hour; sheet
metal workers and coppersmits, 25
cents an hour; sheet metal workers and
coppersmiths' helpers, 31L cents an
hour; stone cutters, 43% cents an hour;
