Difference in Rubber Shoes.

A rubber shoe is a good deal like

wear. Durable, or worthless. No style,
noGhance for variety except in quality.
There hasn't been, until recently;
any difference in the quality of rubber
shoes-all made by same combination
good enough to sell; in fact, sold too
often for your good.

which would shorten the workday one
hour. The cooperation Of a number of
the bosses has been secured, and some of
the employers were present at Monday
nights meeting and gave their hearty
approval to the early closing cause, prom
Using to aid in securing agreements to
close from other shops. A committee

employers and is said to be meeting with
gratifying success.

A LABOR INJUNCTION
The Court to Decide Tomorrow Morning
as to Its Permanently.

as TO It's Permanency.
An injunction was issued last Saturday
by Judge Cray, upon the petition of the
Minneapolis Electrical company, restrain
ing the Building Trades Council and the
Brotherhood of Electrical Engineers of
America from cOnspiring against the plain
tiff company and from interfering with
prospective customers in such manner as
to prevent the plaintiff securing contracts
in It's line of business. The matter came
up for hearing Monday but Herman
Johnson, attorney for the Building Trades
Council and the Electrical Workers
Union, desired further time, so the case
will be argued before Judge Cray to-mor-
row at 10 o'clock.
Additional petitions have been filed with
the court since that of the Electrical COM
pany. was started, and four firms are now
interested.
The trouble which has brought about the
present state OF affairs originated in the
adoption of set Of rules by the employ
ers to govern Workmen which, the union
workmen say, would forever prevent them
from maintaining an organization of any
nature to regulate wages, hours or condi.
lions under which the men must work. To
the enforcement Of these rules the union
lists made strenuous objections, with the
result that matters stand more in the ma
ture Of lock than a strike, the firms
having virtually been driven to discharge
$1,000 AAASAA
rules in question, and this is just how the
controversy stands at present The men
are still out, but at the Building Trades
headquarters to-day it was said all were
at work, and that no further trouble was
looked for.
Speaking of the effect of the injunction,
a member of the Building Trades Council
said the injunction really had very little
effect in this instance in accomplishing the
results desired. ''All the men involved in
this difficulty he said, ARE practically
members of one union and, of course, 1t is
not necessary for the officers of the coun-
Gil to violate the conditions in order to
obtain the desired results. Our men know
their business, and that is sufficient The
loss Of the carnival contract has given food
for thought to the firms concerned, being
the largest let out in Minneapolis in this
line for a long time, the figure being $1O,-
500, and the work is now under way by the
men locked out. Suits for damages are
talked of, but believe when the affair is
sifted thoroly it will be found that no one
on our side is liable. We are keeping well
within the law and intend to observe it to
the letter. The report that non-union
wiremen are working without interference
from the strikers may be so, but they are
not employed on jobs with union men,

MAcHINlsTs' CONVENTION
The Tenth Annual Convention Was De-
cIdedIy Successful One.

cldedy Successful One.
]. p. Gardner, business agent of the local
machinists' unions, has returned from
Milwaukee, where he attended the sessions
of the International Association of Ma
chinists. AS to the future of the organ
ization Mr.. Gardner speaks in glowing
terms. The time of holding the conven-
ton has been changed from the first Mon
day in May to the second Monday In Sep
TENDER. The salary Of the president was
Increased from $1,000 to $1,000. and that OF
the manager of the official journal from
$1,000 to .$1.5 500. The vice presidents will
receive an increase of 5000 each, the pres
ent salary being $1,000 q year and ex-
penses. The financial standing OF the as
ISOLATION is excellent. Speaking of the
convention Mr.. Gardner said:
The tenth convention of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists was pro-
ductive of good results, better by far than
any of it's predecessors. Why? Because
We are progressive organizat ton. We
have changed our laws to suit the times
and to meet the Industrial conditions; we
have opened the gate and paved the way
for a complete organization and to secure
absolute control Of the machine shop. It
is not the desire or, intention of the ma
chanists' organization to be aggressive
only in cases Of absolute necessity. Our
members have implicit confidence in our
International officers, which fact was
re- elected.
1.-THE convention adopted socialistic
plank and while the general sentiment
prevailed togo on record as embracing
socialism 1t was deemed the best policy
not to go too deep, at this time,
A very nice new feature in the form
of superannuation benefits was inserted
in our laws which gives to members keep
ing themselves in continuous good stand
ing for ten years the sum of $500 in cash
and $1,000 to those. who keep in good
standing for a period Of twenty years.
The strike benefits were increased from
81 to IS for single men and for married
men and those with others depending
upon them the benefits were varied from
Sc to 81 per week. We no more have any
limit to the length Of time these benefits
shall be allowed, as formerly. but as the.
merits Of the case demand strike will
be prosecuted indefinitely and to fin-
ish according to the best judgment Of the
general executive board and the inter
national president.
1--WE increased the number of interna-s
tional vice presidents from five to seven
with added power to the international
president to appoint additional organizers
whenever it becomes necessary.
| THE convention went on record as
being opposed to the piece work, task,
merit or contract systems, and the or
ganization proposes to oppose such to the
bitter end and prevent their Introduction
at all hazards where it does not now ex-
ist, and to obiterate it entirely in places
where 1t Is now being worked. It also
| went on record favoring the shorter work
day, reducing the hours to eight and

fined and systematic manner
