Lnunilryworkers Form One and VIII
Have Headquarters at Trey.
The representatives of various launn-
dry workers unions of the United
States and Canada met at Troy, N
Y, last week and organized an in-
ternational union. The first interna-.
tional convention will be held at Buff
falo in September 1901. This action
puts the employees in laundries on q
sound footing and will give them many
benefits. +ssg5
The formation of an International
union has been advocated for long
time and will be a blessing to hun
dreds of workers throughout the
United States and Canada. It has
been formed on the most conservative
lines and employers everywhere wilt
have no objection to their help being
members Of it. Great care has been
taken to arrange the provisions Of the
constitution so as to prevent strikes.
1t is intended to adopt a union label
soon, by which union labor products
can be designated. This must cer-l
tainly meet with the approval of the
manufa cturers, for they are we'll aware
that nowadays the great majority OF
the people prefer the union labor pro-
duct to anything else. Then when a.
laundryman or manufacturer adopts
the label they can easily convince him
that the constitution of the organiza-4
tion is sufficiently broad to prevent the
locals striking when any little differ
ences arises, and thus placing him at.
disadvantage. The constitution as
adopted at Troy provides that diff
culties shall be referred to the gem
eral executive board, which In the
opinion of every fair-mnided unionist5
is a most excellent idea.
The international will at once begin
an agitation tending to create de-
| mand for the use of union label goods.

The International president Is John

THEIR NEW PLAN.
Employing Mo1ders Pay II Bonus for
Their Scab Labor

Employing MO1ders Pay Il Bonus for
Their Scab Labor.
The action taken by the National
Founders association at it's convention
at the Murray Hill hotel in New York
city last week. by which it hopes to
crush out the strike of the molders at
Cleveland, is the most important de-
velopment of the year between labor
and capital.
The plan of the founders is to pay to
every non-union man who will go to
work in the Cleveland foundries bo-
nus of 81 a day over the regular rate
of wages. Early in may the molders
in Chicago, Cincinnati and Cleveland
made a demand for an increase of Is
cents day in wages. Later they re-
duced this demand to 10 cents a day.
They were receiving $2.75 a day. Their
demands were refused. The molders
In Chicago and Cincinnati abided by
the result, but in Cleveland, where
unionism was strong, 1876 mo1ders went
on strike and completely tied up the
Cleveland foundries.
Unable to get new men, the Cleve-
land founders appealed to the national
association, which assessed it's men,
bers to pay bonus of 81 a day for
men who would go to Cleveland This
would make the wages offered $4:75
By the offer about 300 men were in
duced to take the places of the strik-
| ers. The national association decided
to continue the fight against the
Cleveland molders indefinitely. The
| association represents 5000, 100000 of
! capital. The members believe that in
| the bonus system they have found the
/ best plan yet devised for the settle
| ment of strikes and the defeat of un-
ionism. The new president of the as
ISOLATION, H. w. Hoyt, of Chicago
said: When the men in Cleveland
decided to strike we said to them
frankly: Boys if you are determined
to strike there is nothing for us to do
but give you the best fight we know
how. And that is what wa are going
to do. The bonus which we offer is 8

metal trades alliance will Immediately
assume an important position in the
industrial world. 1t will be a counter
organization to the National Metal
Trades Association, an organization of
employers, and the two will strive to
settle disputes between capital ana
labor by annual conferences and wage
agreement, along the lines now fol-
lowed by the miners and mine opera
tors, or the longshoremen and the Lake
Carriers Association.
The alliance will have an incentive
to sympathetic strikes. While labor
will always reserve the right to strike,
strikes will become less and less fire.
quent as both sides organize and
evince fair spirit in the adjustment
Of disputes. Few employers care to
pay less than the ruling rate of wages,
and the great trouble heretofore has
been to establish what would be con-
sidered standard. If two great ma
tional organizations meet and fix upon
a wage scale it is likely to be followed
by independent concerns who employ
unorganizedt labor, for not to do so
would court the opposition in busi-
