The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1907-05-24

New York.-In New York one out
of every 10 persons is a member of a
labor organization. In England the
proportion is one in every %; in Ger
many, one in 81; in France, one in
60; in Italy, one in 125, and in Spair,
one in every 1875.
Chicago.-The strike of the BRICK.
layers and building laborers agatns..
the Masons' association was termirp
ated by agreement between the striE.
ers and the contractors. The brick
layers are to receive payment by
check on Saturday, and the building
| laborers are to receive cash in their
pay envelopes on Tuesday of each
week.
San Francisco.-Speaking of the
San Francisco political situation, the
Coast Seamen's Journal says that a
union labor" government which is
mo worse than any other govern
ment," is government without any
excuse for existence. A union labor"
| government which is worse than any
other government is a crime against
human hopes.
Kenosha.-The strike at the plant
of the Allen Sons tannery was
marked with clashes between the
strikers and tannery officials. The
management offered to grant the
same scale of wages as paid in Mil
waukee tanneries, with the further
stipulation that no reduction in the
present scale of wages paid the men
should prevail. ---- s
Chicago.-The picketing of struck
printing houses is declared unlawful,
and all pickets maintained by Typo
graphical union No. 16 against the
large printing firms of the city must
be removed. This order comes from
the appellate court, which upheld the
order of Judge Holdom, making an in
junction against the union permanent.
In addition the union must pay the
fine of $1,000 imposed by Judge Hold
ON and it's officers must serve 30
day Jail sentence.

Washington.-The National Wom-
ems Trade Union league, which has
over 100000 workers enrolled in MEM
bership, has elected the following Of
ficers for the ensuing year: Mrs. Ray
mond Robins of Chicago, president;
Jane Adams, Margaret Daily, Rose
Schneiderman. May Kehow and Ella
Henrotin, vice presidents; Miss Mes
tor, secretary, and Miss O'Sullivan.
treasurer. The delegates also map
ped out work for the coming year and
formulated plans for a national con-
ventiOn.
Washington. Holmes of the
supreme court announced the decf-
involving the construction of the eight.
hour law of 1892 by which the en-
ployment of laborers and mechanics
on the public works is limited to eight
hours day. The court held the law
to be constitutional but held it does
not apply to laborers and mechanics
on dredges, that men SO employed can
not be held to be employed upon pub
lie works. Justices Moody, Harlan
and Day dissented.
Washington.-The plan by which
the metal trades of the United States
may act as unit, and, if need be,
call vast sympathetic strikes extend
ing over the entire country is sug-
gested by President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, who
has issued a call for a conference of
the officials of the metal workers
unions of Chicago. The object of the
plan is to have all contracts begin and
end at the same time the country over,
so that in making new agreements
unions in this branch of the industry
can have the full power of their entire
national strength to enforce their de-
mands.
Washington.-Presid Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor has
given his official sanction to merger
of the San Francisco Waterworks
union with the gas workers. The or
ganization will be known as the Gas
and Water Workers union.
Fall River.-With the recent adj
vance in wages to mill operatives in
this city, amounting practically to ten
per cent. in the present state of the
market for cotton goods, the landlords
have started movement to increase
rents. In many cases rents were adj
vanced one or two dollars a month
on May 1.

HERBERT PARSONS SPEAKS FOR LEVY.
Tells Oath District Republicans to Stick by
Present Leader.

Herbert Parsons lent his influence in favor OF
Morris Levy. Republican leader OF the 24th Assem-
bly, District at the Union Republican Club. in East
10.th street, last night. by making a speech ear
nestly advocating the continuance OF Levy leader
There are net many Republicans in the 2ith. and
there has been much dissatisfaction for long time
with the various leaders. who have been not much
more than Ieutenants OF F'rawley.
The dissatisfaction eliminated about a year or
so ago with the overthrow OF Ike Newman and
the election OF Levy leader. The old supporters
of Newman have now rallied to the support OF
Joe" Fabian as leader. He has gathered a con-
siderable following but Levy is optimistic that he
will continue as leader.
Congressman Parsons told the members OF the
club last night that II absolutely necessary
that independents leader and good Republican
like Levy should represent the district. He scored
Levy's opponent heavily. and finished his three
minute speech bv declaring that the organization
