WITH THE WORKMEN.
What they have to say about
Labor Organizations.

They Think that they Must Combine
to get what is Coming to them
High wages mean Prosperity to a
Community-Local Master Painters
wont Recognize Painters Union.
To the Editor of The NEW DOMINION;
Low wages are menace to the bus
mess interests Of the community.
High wages make and increase the
business Of the community, by maxi
ing the wage Garner able TO consume
more largely OF the products OF the
farm and factory. The nearer the
laborer comes to receiving all be pru-
duces, the greater will be the pros
perity OF the nation. But when the
laborer is robbed OF nine tenths OF his
labor there is no possibility OF escap-
Ing business depressions, financial dis
asters and panics. IL therefore be-
comes the duty of every lover of hui
mainly. aud well wisher of his kind
to assist every effort to raise the
standard OF wages by the trades
unions of this city. The business
men of this city should be on the side
of the trades unions. But | am afraid
that great many are antagonstic to
these efforts Of the trades unions and
are giving aid and support to those
who are trying every means to disrupt
every union OF this city. The thought
that 1t is possible to destroy the
trades unions Is idle: for instead of
being destroyed by opposition it lives
and grows through all Ii any one
doubts my assertions let him or her
look back over The last thirty years
and observe how often they have been
said TO be dead, and yet today they
are more powerful than ever Why
should not the laboring men
have right to. be recognized in their
organized capacity as we'll as the bus
mess interests through their Boards of
Trade, and lawyer the through his Bar
Association. i can see no difference.
A. right which the Master Painters
of this city deny US and are trying every
means to break our organization SO
that they can deal with us as aD In
diyidual and not as an organized body.
In Dec. 1902 Local Union No. 824
submitted a scale of wages which we
think is reasonable, to the Master
Painters which was rejected. Later
they sent out resolutions adopted by
Master Painters Association, Ia which
they refuse TO recognize Us as an or
gained body, and offered up scale
which we rejected also, and by reject
ing their scale the Masters threaten
to lock us out after March 90, 1908.
The Master Painters claim that the
demands of the Union are exorbitant.
Again they claim that the union die
tates who they shall hire, and that
1t will not permit them to discharge
workingman who proves unsatisfac
tory. None OF these claims are true,
but a few of the contractors who do
not belong to the Association are will
Ing to pay our price.
These men deserve the support OF
everyone who believes In fair wages
to the working man. The only way
to be sure you are giving your work to
the fair employer is to see that none
but Union men are employed on such
work as you have to do or control.
Yours respectfully,
Local Union No. 524, or Painters,
Decorators and Paper-hangers Of
America.

BAD CONDITIONS.
Face Eight Thousand Window Glass
Workers Machines to Put them
Ont In the Cold.

One OF the worst blows ever re-
ceiyed by labor in this country will
grow out of the universal shut down
of the plants of the window glass
trust known as the American Win
dow Glass Company. The total
number of factories that will close
down is not exactly known, but all
the plants in Indiana, OHIO and
Pennsylvania will be closed, and
about 5000 workmen permanently
discharged This move is not caus
ed by labor troubles, as strikes at
only few OF their plants are now
in force, but is the result of an in
tention to change entirely the meth
DDS heretofore used in making win
dow glass. Machines are to take
the place Of the men, one machine
doing the work of five Of the best
paid among the skilled workers In
the plants where strikes are on The
men have been paid off and notified
that their services will not again he
required. In the plants where no
trouble exists notices have been
posted announcing the closing Of
the works on next Saturday tor an
indefinite period. 1t will require at
least eight months to equip the
plants with the machines and even
if the old men We're to he employed
when the fires are again started they
would have to lace eight months
or years idleness. Tile trust has
prepared for this situation bv ac-
cumulatlne about one million boxes
of glass on hand, which is enough
to supple the demand until the plants
are agaiu in full operation with the
machines. The foreign workmen.
many of them French and BtIgians,
are preparing to return tn their ma
tive lands, but the Americans are
facing a situation that is more than
gloomy, with no bright prospects
even remotely in sight.
