unbiased verdict of the American public
upon the essential economic theories of
unionism will be adverse.

in New York a few days after his own ar

extra for this remarkable journey of his

Complete surveys were made by Pur-

and mark the definite boundaries against
trespass and to ascertain the exact topog-

GEORGE CUSTER RESIGNS.
Leaves Iron MOlders' Union to Become
Foreman of Large Stove Works.

George Custer. one of the most promi-
nent iron molders of this city, who re-
Gently was elected to the position of second
vice president of the Iron Molders Inter
national Union of America, resigned his
executive position last week to become
the foreman of the Kahn Stove Company
of Hamilton, o., the second largest plant
of it's kind in America. The board ac-
copied the resignation of Mr.. Custer and ir
doing SO declared that in his short connec-
ton with national executive affairs he had
been the most faithful and successful OF
any executive officer in the field. Mr.. Gus
ter will receive a salary of 5000 with the
Kahn Stove Company and a promise OF
an increase as soon as he becomes &C.

plant.

Carpenters Union No. PSI, of the city, has
put in claim against the men who are
constructing the Indianapolis Polo club
Kinks on Virginia avenue. declaring that
the carpenters employed there are nonunion
men. 1t is the old case of Conrad Benders
union, formed TO fight the union carpen-
tiers. The carpenters carry membership
cards from Bender's union and show these
when asked to display their union cards.
Benders union, ii is claimed. is nothing
more than an individual organization
formed in antagonism to the local broth
erhood. The members work for from Il to
IL cents an hour less than union carpen-
tiers and work longer hours In their eff
forts to hurt the union men. Harry Travis,
business agent of Carpenters Union No.
PSI called upon the contractor of the work
at the polo Kinks last week and asked that
he straighten out the trouble. G. G. Buck
the contractor, said he had been misled by
the Bender union cards and promised TO
have the work finished by union carpenters.
A. B. Cohn, president of the club, has also
promised to see that the right men are put
on the job. Unless the demands OF the car
penters are granted more active steps will
be taken TO protect the local brotherhood.

JOHN. MITCHELL,s BOOK.
Copies of "Organized Labor" Have
Reached the Newspapers.

John Mitchells book, entitled Organized
Labor" was issued by the publishers, the
American Book and Bible Company of
Philadelphia, Friday, and advance copies
reached the newspapers yesterday. For
many months the public has been looking
forward to the appearance of this book,
which will throw a good deal of light upon
the labor problem, that is ever uppermost
in the minds of many people to-day. One
Is particularly impressed with the mastery
way in which Mr.. Mitchell handles his SUBJ
ject, nor can one fail to recognize that "Or-
ganized Labor comes nearer solving the
labor problem than any book that has yet
appeared. In his book Mr.. Mitchell deals
with every phase of the labor question.
writing as a man who has thought much
about his subject as well as one who had
spent most of his life in it's environments.
He begins with the discussion of the prob
lens of labor. its purposes and ideals, and
closes with chapters on the present and
future of the American wage Garner. There
is much historical matter in the book,
showing how the trade union movement
developed in England and in the United
States and how the movement has affected
the workmen, the employer and the pub
lie as to the rate of wages, the hours of
labor and the general conditions Of the
working classes. The chapter ON the union
list and the nonunionist is an unusually in
teresting one, as it deals with the OPEN
shop question, a question that at this time
is prominent in the labor world.
Although a unionist and one of the great
est labor leaders of the country, Mr.. Mitch
ell deals with the problem from the point
of view Of a citizen. He does not avoid the
weak spots in labor organizations, but
deals with them in detail. He is very bit
ter in his denunciation of strikes and de-
clares that union men have no right to mo-
lest or injure nonunion men or to attack
by force employers. He discusses in detail
the questions of strikes and attempts to
show by what methods they may be reme-
died.
An interesting part of the book is the
history of the great Pennsylvania coal
strike, to which Mr.. Mitchell has devoted
several chapters and a number Of pic
lures 1t is history Of the strike from the
inside. Mr. Mitchell declares that the strike
could have been averted had the operators
taken active interest at the beginning of
the trouble.
The book contains many full-page IL
Illustrations of working people and men who
have taken active part in the labor move
ment of America. Among the photographs
are those of President Roosevelt and Mar
Gus hanna. There are 456 pages in the book.
The book is pleasant to read, as every
page is written in lucid and interesting
style.
