TRADESMEN ON RANCE
FORMING IN UNIONS
Printers Have Bran New Union
With Headquarters at
Virginia.
Cigarmakers Have Organization
Covering All Range
Towns.

Hibbing and the rest of the range
towns are becoming uniontzed. The
journeymen cigarmakers have caught
the spirit of organization. At a pic.
mic in Auburn grove at Virginia, a
short time ago. the cigarmakers
formed union Of the workers of the
range.
The Western Federation of Miners
blazed the union trail, to the range.
Since then the labor movement has
progressed steadily.
With headquarters In Virginia, the
printers of Virginia, Eveleth and Hib.
bing have started branch Of the In
ternational Typographical union by
applying for q charter. J. L. Stark Of
Eveleth is president and George Web
ster Of Virginia Is secretary. The
first meeting Of the organization was
recently held in E]veleth.
Other branches of labor that recent
ly organized are the locomotive fire
men, locomotive engineers and ma
chinists. Willard Ward Is president
and John Mcdonald secretary of the
Machinists' union No. ~, which has /
large membership. t<-.'tf, &. -
1t is understood that other branches
of labor will soon combine their
strength. .$f5 si y n: .s ..:=z== ,.s@5

and others, the officials of which said
today that they would refuse to per-
NIT the members Of their organiza-
tions to work in the places of the
strikers.
The strike of the firemen was call
ed because the representatives of the
Standard Oil company refused to ad-
vance wages from 22a cents an hour
to 25 cents an hour, and agree to
grant to all of the workmen the
eight-hour day. They also refused
to recognize the union.
This is the chance labor through
out the country has been looking for
a long time," said President Joseph
Morton of the Firemen's National
union and leader of national reput-
alton.
1--WE are pleased to learn that these
men struck. They do not belong t.
the union, but we will welcome them
into our fold. We will do better
after they join us; we will protect
them to the full extent of our
treasury. We have had much trouble
with the tSandard Oil company in
various parts Of the country. This is
our entering wedge, and we propose
to take advantage of 1t. The Amer.
lean Federation of Labor has prom
ised to back us up in any fight that
we might make along this. line and
the various state organizations af.
filiated with that body are In line
with it's policy"

COMPERS IS PLEASED
WITH E|CAT-H0UR DAY
Thinks Enforcement of Law by
Government Will Be Big
Lift For Labor.
Much Gratified by Order of Pre-
sident But Thought to Be
Little Late.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Impetus has
been given to the labor movement In
politics by President Roosevelt's or.
der directing the rigid enforcement Of
the eight-hour law" declared Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, yesterday.
I'VE are much gratified that the
president has issued the order, al.
though we conceive 1t to be a little
late,' said Mr.. Gompers. "The orig
1nal request for the enforcement of
the eight-hour law on government
work was made by me nearly three
years ago. During the Intervening
time l have repeatedly called the
presidents attention to the continued
violation of the law, and have cited
specific instances, backed up by affi-
davits.
"On March %, 1906, the president
requested Frank Morrison of the
American Federation of Labor to
bring to his attention specific in.
stances of the violation of the law
which he would refer to Mr.. Netll for
investigation. This was done m
April 21, with the result that the ord
er requiring the enforcement of tho
law was issued yesterday.
1T certainly will encourage lahor ~
pursue It's work of organization in tho
campaign, which has been manned
out, in the hope that larger degrees
OF Justice may be attained"

Strike of Standard Oil Company
Takes on Favorable Aspect
in Week.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Warfare between
the Standard Oil company and the
labor unions of the country was be-
gun Friday night when the Whiting
employees of the company quit work
to enforce their demands for an in
crease in wages.
The strike, which already threat
ems to tie up the business Of the big
corporation in the Middle West, is
likely to assume gigantic proportions
before it is ended.
1t is predicted today that 1t may
involve all of the employees of the
company in the country and become
general one.
Already the Chicago labor unions
are preparing to seize the opportuni-
ty presented by the Whiting strike to
make more trouble for the compa-
ny.
The officials of the various unions
propose to carry the fight into every
district where a drop of oil is drawn
which goes into a Standard Oil bar
rel.
Three hundred firemen EMPLOYED

employees who are working with the
firemen are scheduled to leave their
places Monday. These include en-

KING EDWARD FAv0Rs
WORK BY UNION LABOR
He Has Always Been and Now
Is Regarded as q Straight
Trade Unionist,
Tells His Lord Chamberlain
That No Non Union Concern
Can Work for Him.

Rather a sensational story is pub
lished concerning "the foremost dip
lomat of Europe" Edward VII of Eng
land. When he was Prince of Wales,
it is said, he took NO pains to conceal
his sympathy with the cause of trade
unionism, and now that he is king he
will permit no work to be done which
Is to be paid for out Of the royal purse
which has not received the sanction
Of organized labor. S. g..
In other words, King Edward, by
preference or necessity, Is a trade
unionist, not only passively, but act.
lively, for he has Informed the lord
chamberlain that If any case were
brought to his notice of firm, al
ready employed by the royal houshold,
declining to recognize trade unions, to
pay union rates to it's men, he would
at once take steps to rescind the con.
tract. . >~:'.-.5 r. : w.. v-
when King Edward was heir to
the throne it Is said that often when
It was thought he was giving up hiu
time to the pursuit Of pleasure, he
was actually engaged In. the study al
first hand Of the problems Of the
poor, and that IN the course Sof these
investigations he acquired the. con
