NEW THING IN TRADES UNIONIsM.
An Organization of Commercial Tray-
eIers to Have National Scope.

Organized labor received an addition to
its ranks in Chicago Saturday when a num-
Der of travelling men met at McCoys Hotel
and organized the Travelling Salesmen's
Union of Chicago. Eighteen statesmen were
present and George Thompson, organizer of
the American Federation of Labor, per-
formed the ceremony which made them
trade unionists.
The Chicago Federation of Labor will be
asked to give it's official Endorsement to the
drummers' application to the American
Federation of Labor for a charter. Samuel
b. Donnelly, ex-presiGent of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union, well-known in
this city, who is now employed as a travel
ing salesman for a publishing house, is one
of the charter members. 1t is the intention
of the organizers that the new union shall
become national in it's scope. and include all
classes of drummers who desire to be
known as union men.
The movement thus far is confined to
statesmen in the publishing line, but the
constitution of the new union will be made
broad enough to include all others who
want to combine to protect their interests.
In speaking Of the objects of the new
organization, Organizer Thompson said
that the members would use their efforts
to further the sale of union-made articles
in ali lines of business, and that in this
way they would be "a powerful ally to the
ranks of organized labor.
1T will not be a mutual admiration
society or an exclusive social organiza-
tiOn." said Thompson, but genuine labor
union, whose members will demand union
label goods and not be ashamed to admit
they are working men. With the extensive
formation of trusts and combinations, the
employment of the drummer has become
more precarious than it was, and the men
believe that through a good national or
ganiZation they can protect their interests
and at the same time render substantial
aid to other classes of labor
After the organization is fairly launched
a rule will provide that when a number of
drummers meet on their rounds only men
carrying union cards will be allowed to fell
stories. This, ii is believed, will prove a
powerful incentive TO all statesmen to ioin
as the drummer who cannot tell a story
does not have the respect of his fellow
craftsmen and is socially Ostracised
