Carpenters Official Paper
Criticises Umpire's Decision


The last issue OF the carpenters Official
paper, which appeared Friday, has the fol-
lowing to say concerning the decision Of
Umpire Downey relative to the jurisdic-
tional rights OF the United Brotherhood Of
Carpenters and -Joiners and the Amalga-
mated Wood Workers International Union:
I'm his decision on the controversy be-
tween our u. B. and the Amalgamated
Wood Workers on questions OF jurisdiction.
Umpire P. J. Downey awards jurisdiction
over all woodworkers employed in planning
mills, furniture and interior finish factories
to the latter organization: while on the
other hand, the putting up in the build
fnes Of the work turned out by the men so
employed, according TO Downeys decision,
belongs to the carpenters.
Umpire Downey, in his decision, be 1t
through lack OF knowledge as 70 the true
conditions in the woodworking industry. or
be IL from some inexplicable motive. has
entirely lost sight OF the interests OK the
mated Wood Workers and the men en-
ployed In mills and shops, which interests
demand their cohesion and consolidation
with the carpenters
.aThe umpire. in his decision, as likewise
the executive council Of the A. T. OF Ia
IN their recent decisions on our contro-
versy, has. at the expense Of the member
ship OF the Amalgamated Wood Workers,
conveyed q personal favor upon their off,
cials who, as a matter of course, are de-
sirous Of maintaining their organization
and retaining their offices.
1.-The decision is an infringement on the
interests OF both the u. b. and the men,
bers OF the Amalgamated Wood Workers.
1t may have the effect of temporarily
hampering and disturbing the further de-
velopment OF our trade movement; IL will,
however, not prevent this movement from
ultimately taking it's natural course"

Nine Workers. returned from Colorado last
week and spent two days at the headquar-
ters In this city. Mr.. Mitchell left yester-
day for Washington to attend meeting of
the executive council OF the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
The situation among the miners and op-
orators in southern Colorado. Mr.. Mitchell
said, is not encouraging. Although the
men have returned to work in the northern
nelds, all efforts to heal the breach in the
southern district have failed. Mr.. Mitchell
SAID IL looked like fight to the end, as he
could see no way by which the operators
and miners could come to an agreement
under their present terms. The operators
believe they can break the strike, and for
that reason will make no overtures to the
miners. Martial law has been declared by
the Governor of Colorado in the Cripple
Creek region and the State militia is con-
tinually on guard. The general sentiment
Mr.. Mitchell said, is on the side OF the
miners.

James O'Grady's Ideas.

According to James OGrady. Of London,
England, fraternal delegates to the Boston
convention of the American Federation of
Labor, who spoke in Indianapolis last week
the curse OF American trades unions is the
jurisdictional rights. Mr.. O'Grady said he
believes this is the most serious phase OF
whole basis OF society is that there shall be
no fights within the ranks. The jurisdic-
tional rights, Mr.. O'Grady said, are Just
what d. NJ. Parry and all alleged enemies
of organized labor watch with greatest in
terest.
Mr.. O'Grady spoke at length on the trade
union movement both in America and
abroad. He said there was very little diff
ference between the two movements In
England the greatest ban of the unions is
the courts, which in ninety-nine cases out
of hundred rule against labor organiza-
tions. He made the plea that labor unions
should attempt to make the laws and In
this way secure for themselves justice in
the courts.

Entertainment of Miners.

At the Central Labor Union meeting to-
morrow night plans will be made for the
entertainment of the delegates who will at
tend the annual convention of the United
Mine Workers, which will convene next
month. 1t has been the custom heretofore
for the Central Labor Union TO tender the
convention a banquet, but the sentiment
this year favors eliminating this feature
for the reason that good many of the tick
cts TO the banquet fall into the hands of
undesirable people, who attend the banquet
just to have a good time. 1t is thought
that this year the Central Labor Union will
give a large smoker and entertainment to
the miners Immediately after the convention

The Indianapolis journal., 1903-12-13

In Evansville an agreement has been MADE
between the Central Labor Union, of that
city, and the Business Mems Association,
whereby concerted effort will be made TO
enforce the child labor laws that are said
to be greatly violated in that city. The
business men declare that the employment
OF the children in the places of men should
not be tolerated and that IL is a general in
jury to their business. Ii is probable that
more decided steps will be taken in Indian
apolis to put stop to the employment
OF children under the age limit. There are
many factories where il is alleged little
children are doing adults labor.

Wilmington, Dela., June 23.-All Is

the mob of nearly 5000 that over
powered the authorities, stormed the
New Castle county workhouse and
dragged from his cell the trembling
wretch and burned him at the stake,
the identity Of only one is publicly
known. That person is little Peter
Smith, 12 years old, who fell when the
workhouse guards fired volley into
the ranks of the attacking mob. The
lad was struck by bullet which en-
tered shis back and is thought to have
penetrated his kidneys. This morning
he is in a serious condition. After the
mob had completed it's work of VEN
geance, the body of the negro ravisher
and murderer was left chained to the
stake, with the fire burning all around
it and the members of the lynchine
party went home. Rain which began
falling later, extinguished the fire and
at daylight the charred body still
hung limp in plain sight of passers-
by. Public sentiment here, so far as
expressed, appears to approve the
lynching of White and it Is not be-
lieved there will be any arrest. White
