Bar Sympathetic Strikes.

Clauses prohibiting the sympathetic
strike will be feature of this years
agreement between the various con-
tractors councils and the building
trades unions, and, as result ap-
parently, the sympathetic strike in the
building lines in Chicago is dead. +
This was assured when the Archi-
tectural Iron Workers union and the
Bricklayers' and Masons' Union signed
agreements with the employers as
sociation, in which it was agreed that
neither party will tolerate or recog-
nize any rights of any other associa-
ton, union, council or body of men,
not directly interested in the contro-
versy, and that they will use all lawful
means to compel their members to
comply with the arbitration agree
ment and working rules as jointly
agreed upon and adopted.
All other trades in the building lines
are expected to make similar agree
ments barring the sympathetic strike.

STAMP Out Child Labor.

Child labor in the South was dis
cussed at Boston recently by the
union for industrial progress. The
speaker was Rev. DR.. Arthur P.
Greenleaf of Everett. He told OF the
conditions in the South and in Rhode
Island, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Said DR.. Greenleaf in part: Our
own state has also its shame, in
certain mill in Fall River, where boys
are put into steaming chemical room
at ages from 10 to ~. This chemical
gives off noxious fumes which poison
their young lives. Children are cheap
err than machines and that is why they
are employed
when talking with bosses in charge
of the mills, they tell me they lose
more money than they make by the
employment of these little children.
But when the good people of the south
try to get bill through the legisla-
lures of these states prohibiting chill
dren of tender age from working in
these mills, these bosses have always,
with a single exception, worked hard
to defeat the proposed legislation.
There are 10 per cent of our chill
dren whose lives are yearly crushed
out in our mines, mills and factories. y
A unanimous vote was taken where
by the members of the union for in
dustrial progress pledged themselves
collectively and individually to work
against the amendment to the law per-
hitting children of twelve years of
age to work in factories during the
summer school vacation, now pending
before the Massachusetts legislature.

II Shut of Lone speeches,

When President 'Schardt of the Chi

the various committees for the en-
suing term, he would do we'll to
create a new one to be known as the
suppression committee" It's duties
would be to suppress the orators who
retard the legitimate work of the cen
trail body by long-winded speeches
which no one pays any attention to.
There is probably nowhere in the
country where the old rule, IF you
have nothing to say, say nothing" is
more disregarded than in the meet
ings of the Chicago Federation of
Labor. In the event of the new
