WORKS OF TIN PLATE CO., u.
ALLEGE BREACH OF FAITH

<PITTsBURG, Nov. 25.-striking
tin workers of the American Sheet
and Tin Plate Company claim to
have won an important victory in
their struggle. A majority Of the
strike breakers in, the Green and
shenango. mills have quit their jobs.
The number of deserters Is estimated
by the Amalgamated men at about
500. while company officials admit a
loss of 800 men. i"
The reason for the assertions Is
said to be that the company ceased
the payment of premiums and pro-
posed to pay only for work actually
done. Many of the strike breakers
claim they would have been unable
to earn anything under this arrange
ment.

DON'T WANT UNION LABEL,
BUT WILLING TO CHEAT: TO
SECURE BENEFITS FROM IF

1.-THE union label does not benefit
US in. any way, and therefore we do
not use it." is one Of the bluffs often
handed out by manufacturers who
are not entitled to use the emblem OF
fair conditions on account Of not
measuring up to requirements.
But every now and then instances
come to light that prove that the
union label Is of some benefit, and
in order to gather in the dollars from
people calling for a union-made ar
ticle some manufacturers will go to
almost any length to, hide beneath Its
protection.
A case of this kind was brought
to the attention of the. Labor World
a few days ago. A certain young
man, desiring to purchase a pair of
union made overalls, entered store
Of Duluth merchant ard made known
his want The clerk brought forth
a pair, and of course the prospective
purchaser looked for the label. He
found it. But hold on; this label has
g. strange appearance. True, 1t does
resemble the label of the United
Garment Workers of America, but
what does the lettering on it say:
"This union label certif7es that this
garment was made by members of
Pittsburg Overall Workers Beneficial
Union' In the middle was triangle
with the words Rough Rider Fac
tory printed therein.
"Imitation!" was the, mental ejacu-
lation of the intending buyer. And
he Immediately communicated his
discovery to the clerk, who happened
to be the proprietor. The merchant
was as astonished as his customer.
He explained that when he ordered
the lot from an agent he stipulated
that the union label had to be in
every garment. The agent had as
sured him it would. The goods had
just arrived a day or two before and
he had not examined the label to see

that the makers would attempt to

deposits priority over the coal, and
the coal in turn preference over agri-
cultural values. These distinctions ne
cessltate land classification based on
adequate field examination. Wherever
the different values can be separated
that separation by appropriate legis-
lation is at once the easiest and best
solution of the problem, and the first
step in this direction was taken in
March of this year in the passage of
the Mondell Act whereby the home
seeker may secure all for which he
makes entry-all that he swears he is
getting-while the coal beneath his
tillable land is reserved to the nation
for future disposal.
The ideal land classification is that
based on field examination, scientific
and detailed enough to include every
natural resource; the ideal land legis-
lation is that which fully recognizes
the principle of relative worth; and
the ideal land administration is that
which will assure the reservation or
the disposition of the land for its high
est use
