AMERICAN LABOR IS
BUSIEST ON RECORD
In Special Article, President Com
pers of A. F. of L., Dis
cusses Conditions.
Says Labor Was Never So Well
Employed-Gives Facts and
Fl cures in Support.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 9.--For
one desiring to know something Of the
union labor situation throughout the
country-to get at a glance an idea
OF how labor is faring on this May
Of 1907-there is nothing better than
the regular monthly statement which
is prepared under the auspices Of the
American Federation of Labor, show
Ing the percentage of union labor I'M
employed for each month, with COM
parison with the same month for the
preceding year.
Best Year.
The year 1907 has so far the best
record that has been made. January
opened up with a fraction over 2 per
cent unemployed, as compared with
per cent unemployed during the
month Of January, 1905. February and
March Of last year saw rapid i'm
provement over January, the proper
ton Of unemployed dropping rapidly
In sixty days until it was less than 2
per cent. But this year the improve
ment has been even more notable. For
February the unemployed were but 2.3
per cent, which in April dropped to
IL per cent, which is the lowest April
percentage Of unemployed in our tab
ular record.
1906 Good Year.
In noting this favorable start in
1907 it is interesting to note also that
the year Of 1906 was on the whole, an
improvement over 1905. That year
started with 7 per cent unemployed
as against 6 per cent in January of
1905. but the percentage quickly drop
ped below the percentage of the year
before, and remained below it during
practically all the twelve months. May
was the busiest month, our tables
showing that less than 1 per cent OF

did the hos know them, because Sans
mood, determining his selection, was
the force that decided the rapidity of
nearly everybody's movements. Most
Of the men moved legs and arms ac-
cording to Sans music. What a pity
that some ingenious employer has not
introduced into his shop band-or,
at least, a gramaphone-thatp plays on
ly waltz time.
Think of the possibilities! At any
rate-here's my point-we are all Of
us being tremendously Influenced by
the character of our work and by the
men with whom we work. It was an
inspired writer who said, mo man
liveth unto himself" But even an UNI
inspired man could say that if he saw
with only half an eye. The other fell
low will probably influence us, more
or less, but we have fine chance at
him by exercising the best that is In
u.s. so as to help him. And it's funny,
too, when you think of it, that it isn't
the chap that talks most that has
the greatest influence-its the man
that lives longest, because length of
life does not determine abundance of
life but the man who crowds most
into his life. The silent radiating
forces Of a strong mans life count
more for real progress than the end
less speech of the blatant agitator.

the union labor was that month with
the percentage was between 1 and g.
In midsummer, in August, 1905, the
percentage Of unemployed rose to 6
per cent; in 1906 the proportion kept
below z per cent until September,
wnen it rose a little above per cent
In tn fall again, the last of October
in both years, the proportion of unem-
ployed d~oI ped to less thon l per
cent. In December, 1906, there was a
letup again to per cent; but the new
year saw, as we have seen, all but 2
per cent at work, and this percentage
has been iessenlng up to date.
What Percentages Show.
These percentages tell a double
story. They reflect the conditions of
the labor market as to strike disturb
ances, and as to industrial disturb
ances. Any widespread strike throws
a number of people out Of employ
ment and finds expression in these
figures. So any letting up of good
times, any slowing down Of the wheels
Of industry, increases the number of
unemployed and affects these percent
ages.
The percentages are the result of re-
ports made to me as editor of the
American Federationist. They are
based on returns from $50 local un-
ions. The trades are diversified, and
are sufficiently typical so that the fig
ures unquestionably represent the
general conditions as they prevail.

CLERKS or V|RGINl|Il
WANT EARLY CLOSING
CONCERTED Effort Being Made to
Get Store Agreements With
Merchants, 4
Virginia Newspaper Espouses
Cause and Editorially Urges
Uniform Closing.

The newly organised retail clerks Of
Virginia have started a movement for
the early closing OF stores, and the
observance Of the sundaw law. Many
Of the leading merchants have signed
the agreement, but few are still re-
luctant about it..
The attitude of the latter prompted
the publishing Of the following timely
and able editorial in the Virginian as
an encouragement to early closing:
1.-THE efforts Of the Retail Clerks
association and the leading merchants
of the city to bring about earlier clos
ing and Sunday closing Of all retail
stores should meet with the hearty
support and encouragement Of the
public. Only through cooperation on
the part of shoppers can the move
ment be made q success.
1.-THE people who toll behind the
counters have a right to some time
for amusement, relaxation and rest
beside sthe time they spend in bed.
Their labor is exhausting in it's nature
and If they are kept on their feet, all
day until late in the evening they
must suffer in the end from broken
health and pay the penalty Of over
work and continued confinement.
1.-The merchants, too, have as great
need for time for relaxation as their
employees. There ought to be some-
thing more to life for them than an
all-day and evening grind at their
desks and behind their counters grub
bling for the almighty dollar. They
ought to be able to enjoy some OUT
door life as we'll as the clerks.
1.-THE movement for early closing
can be greatly assisted and success
assured if the shoppers, and especially
the ladies, will arrange to do their
buying during the hours fixed upon for
stores to be open by the clerks and
leading merchants. And every person
who believes that there should be one
day of rest in every seven ought to
make it rule to do no buying on
Sunday.
Let everybody boost for early clos
ing.
Every citizen Of Virginia, and es-
| pecially the ladies, should boost the
| movement for the early closing of
stores. The people who work in these
stores are entitled to some time for
relaxation and recuperation."

DENIES ALL CHARGES.
Answer of Temple Iron Company to
Government Suit.

Philadelphia, Sept. Another an
swer, that of the Temple Iron COM
pany, was filed in the United States
circuit court here in the suit OF the
federal government against the rail
roads and coal companies that are
charged with maintaining monopoly
of the anthracite coal industry in re-
straint of trade.
The answer denies that the coal
roads purchased the capital stock or
the Temple Iron company and also
denies that the Temple Iron company
has "throttled competition in the
TRANSFORMATION and sale of anthracite
coal"
The answer admits that the cor
poration acquired several small COM
panies concerned in the mining OF
coal but claims the purchases were
under the authority Of the laws of
PENNSYLVANIA. The defendant con-
tends that the United States courts
have no jurisdiction to enter a decree
enjoining the other coal companies
named in the bill of complaint from
voting the stock they hold In the Tenn
pie Iron company, as the government
has petitioned the court to do.
The Temple Iron company's answer,
as did those of the three Reading COM
panies filed last week, refers to the
government charges as vague, in
definite. impertinent and scandalous. "

tresident Castro Discusses Haaue
Classification Plan.

Caracas, Venezuela, Sept. AIN
view OF the attitude of Brazil and
Venezuela at The Hague President
Castro was asked for his opinion Of
the reported proposition to constitute
prize and arbitration tribunals by
graduated representation, giving some
powers permanent representation
while others would be represented
only periodically The president made
the following statement and author
lied its publication:
This proposition of the powers is
equivalent, in my opinion, to the head
of nation inviting all or some of the
heads of other friendly nations to a
feast in his house and after assem-
bling them there proceeded to a class
ification to determine who should eat
at the first table, who at the second
and so on and who should dance in
the principal rooms of the palace and
who in others.
"The action lscposed is therefore,
in my opinion, an insult cast in the
face cf the smaller nations, whom it
is sought to humble, and | deprecate
the paragraph regarding representa-
ton"
