STREET RAILWAY MEMS UNION
Organizer Pratt Comes to Talk to
Local Organization About
It's Affairs.

Labor Temple hall was well filled Tues
day night by employees of the street rail-
way company to hear the address of Z.
o. Pratt, chairman of the executive board
of the Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees Of Amer
lea who has come to Omaha in the interest
OF the local union.
Prior to 1892 there was no. national Or
ga1ization of street railway workers said
Mr.. Pratt, although few local organiza-
lions maintained relief associations. Prior
to that time men were receiving IL and IA
cents per hour and were working twelve,
fourteen, sixteen and eighteen hours a
day, driving horse cars with no conductors.
Since the organization we have 10000 men,
bers who In twenty-six cities work nine
hours a day, in f1fty-six cities work ten
hours a day and in twenty-five cities work
eleven hours Eighteen to Fl cents is the
smallest pay. and in Butte. Mont. the men
receive 80 cents the first year. 3Tis cents
the second and 20 cents after that. none
but union men being employed The union
has been largely responsible for the vesti-
bule law in some states, has relieved the
working conditions and established better
relations between the men and the en-
ployers. Most street railways are con-
trolled by eastern capital and the owners
have no more interest in the men than they
have I'm the cars. The Omaha organization
mas brought changes through its influence
The men are paid every two weeks, extra
men secure more work men are not set
back If OFF the cars and the men get more
pay. s-.--
Trades unions are stepping stone tc
better conditions. and capital is rapidly
learning to consult the interests of the
unions The general managers must gel
dividends and must buy rolling stock. anc
| to do this puts on the double truck cars
and does other things to get more out OF
your labor.
HAS the company the right to tell u:
! that We cannot ask a man to Join an or
! ganization which will help his condition
We don't want to compel men to come t
meetings, but we want to keep the com
pany from stopping men from attending
/ the meetings who wish TO do so. We hav,
an old age pension fund and pay a dealt
benefit of 800 and S. a week in case o
strikes. Employers cannot find men a
readily as formerly, and organized labo

ing men, and the better pay the laborini
men receive the more money they will hav
to spend with the merchants
| Another meeting will be held this after
noon, when an effort will be made TO pu
the organization upon stronger footinl
and to induce all the street railway mel
to join the union.
At the close of the meeting an opportunit,
