UNION MAN Is SHOT
FOR STRIKE BREAKER

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Mistaken for q
trike-breaker, as the police believe,
John Osuchowski, trunk maker has
been shot and killed.
The crime is attributed by the police
to union tickets of the striking tan
ners Of the American Hide & Leather
company, whose principal plant is loc-
ated block from the scene of the
SHOOTING. No witness of the shooting
has yet been found.
The district has been turbulent since
the tanners strike began. a month ago.
One man was shot soon after the
trouble began. Pickets have surround
ed the plant at all hours and non
union men have been escorted to and
from their work under heavy guard.
The police found in Osuchowshi's
pockets a certificate Of a deposit for
$1,000. $50 in money and a gold watch.
The victim left eight children and
widow, who have practically nothing
but the money mentioned above.
He was a member of the trunk and
bag makers union.

RAILROAD LABOR

.SxAr* secret convention of Officers of
the 1e ::Rrot herhood of Locomotive Fire
men Of; the lines of the Pennsylvania
Railroad is in session this week in
Philadelphia. The firemen have asked
for the: same pay under the new sche-
dule of nine hours day as they re-
ceived when they worked ten hours.
Wages in the car department of the
Wabash system, at Decatur, ILL.,, have
been reudced 10 per cent. It is ex-
pected that $50 men will be laid off.
The union Pacific railway manage
ment is reported to have discontinued
the much-vaunted pension system
which was meant to prove that the in
terests Of the mangnates and the
workers were IDENTICAL It is dollars
to doughnuts that this announcement
will not be published as widely as was
the pension scheme when it was orig
inally sprung.
United Brotherhood of Railway En-
ployes, a rival organization of the old
brotherhoods, announces that last
month six new lodges Of engineers
alone were formed.
The Philadelphia & Reading railway
system has reduced the hours to eight
with corresponding reduction in paw.
About 5000 miles of Missouri Pacific
track in southwestern Kansas and
southwestern Missouri are without g
section 1aborer except the foreman.
The men quit work voluntarily upon
receipt of the announcement of a cut
in their wages.
From 1900 to, 5000 men have been
discharged by the United States Coal
and Coke Co., at Welch, w. Va. No
time has been set for. their return. The
company has a plant at WEIGH that is
estimated to be worth 100000, and
the closing down of the plant and dis
charge of all employees has created
widespread CONSERVATION all along
the line of the Norfolk & Western
railway in the coal field.

RHODE ISLAND EMPLOYERS
FOLLOW SUIT IN PRINTING.

Providence, r. T.. The new wage
scale adopted by the cotton mills of
Rhode Island, which reduces the wages
of operatives 10 per cent, restoring the
price list Of two years ago, went into
effect, December /. Thirty-seven mills,
with employees aggregating more than
1900 are affected. No trouble is anti
cipated by the mill owners. The en-
ployes are dissatisfied with the new
schedule, but believe that many of the
manufacturers will not hesitate to
close their mills should a strike seem
imminent. They will await a market
more favorable to the manufacturers
before pressing for a return to former
figures.

ARBITRATION MAY HURT STREET
CAR MEN.
Afraid That Reduetions Will Follow
Pres. Mahon Say. Agreement Is a
Distinct Gain. Men Jared Better
Than He Had Expected. Some Diff
ferences Over Wage Scale.

Chicago. Dec: .10.-There will always
be a difference of opinion as to
whether the strike of the South Side
street car men of Chicago ended, in
defeat Or. victory. ALL but handful
of men, accused Of violence, were TAX
en- back. Financially the company
was the loser. A. careful estimate
shows that at least 100000. was lost
by the corporation in fare, and there
were also losses by reason of the de-
struction Of property; but this latter
item was not great. The $500 men in
volved lost their wages less the
amount of strike benefits they re
ceived. Their total losses will not ex-
coed 100000, and divided among SO
many it is not serious matter.
President Mahon before leaving for
home at Detroit, Mich, remarked:
THE men voted the strike and they
called it off. The terms of peace were
submitted to them and they accepted.
l. did my best for them I believe the
arbitration agreement good one if
both sides live up to it.
THE first section, dealing with
wages, is a distinct gain for the men,
The second, dealing with the routing
OF cars, is an absolute gain for them
The: third, dealing with the treatment
OF the union, is satisfactory. The
fourth, dealing with the meeting of
the company and the union officials,
now in force, and all the rest of the
points are gains for the men,"
Late in the week there were reports
that the men had bn sold out" b.
cause the officials of the union met
with some of the officials of the COM
pany and tried to privately reach an
agreement. That there was nothing
In it is shown by the fact that con-
dlt1ons were wrung from the company
that it was very loath to give.
The point with which most fault is
found relates to the wage scale. 1t
opens up the entire question of wages,
and some of the men fear that a re-
duction may be made in some places
Had not the strike ended as it did
there was danger that other lines of
industry would have been drawn into
1T, and it even might have involved
the whole trade union movement.
especially if the teaming interests
had been locked out, as was the threat
of some employers.
All the newspapers speak very
highly of the generalship of President
Mahon. He kept his temper, and
neither clustered nor truckled.
