workers in the United States probably the
most conspicuous is that made of the
locomotive engineers, and easily the most
prominent leader in this sphere is Warren
Sanford Stone, the grand chief of the
International Brotherhood Of Engineers.
Chief Stone was born at Ainsworth, IA ,
fOTty-nine years ago, and was educated
at an academy in his native state and at
Western college. His entire railroad serv-
ice was spent with the Rock Island sys-
TEN. beginning as a fireman in 1879, fol-
lowed by promotion to engineer in 1884.
He was appointed grand chief of the
brotherhood upon the death of p. NJ. Ar
thur in 1904 and has been reelected at
each convention since that time,
Yet another conscientious worker in the
labor cause is Dennis A Hayes, president
of the Glass Bottle Blowers Association
of America In 1896, when Hayes was
elected president of the organization, mem
bers of the union faced many serious
problems. His first great task was the
organization Of the trade IN the east ana
this was followed by a sOlidifying OF the
union lines all over the country, with the
result that the wages of the glass blow
ers were advanced and their working time
reduced, while the organization has &C
qUlred a surplus of more than S230,OO0.
Joseph +. Valentine. the president Of
the Iron MOlders' Union of North Amer
lea, is another labor leader of wide in
fIuence. He has been an active trade
unionist for nearly twenty-five years, and
of his particular class of craftsmen No

would be complete without reference to
John MITCHELL While Mr.. Mitchell is no
longer president of the United Mine Work
ers Of America. he continues his active
interest in the labor cause and still serves
as second vice president Of the American
Federation of Labor. Moreover, his pres
ent position as chairman of the trade
agreement department of the National
Civic Federation was accepted by him
primarily because of mis- belief that it
would enaole him to do much in behalf Of
the laboring classes of the country.
John Mitchell was born at BraidwOOd
Ill in February, 1870. and is consequently
less than 20 years Of age. From the age
of to 10 years he was educated in the
public schools of his native town, but all
his subsequent education was acquired by
night study He also studied law for one
year. Mitchell was at work in the coal
mines before he was Z years of age, and
has been connected with organized labor
sirce his sixteenth year. He became an
officer Of the United Mine Workers in
1895 and two years later was made an or
ganizer this being followed in 1886 by his
election to the presidency of the organj-
cation. which he neld until a COMPARE
lively recent date, when he removed from
TIdianaDolis TO New York and took up his
new work with the Civic Federation.
Mitchell directed the strikes of the an
thracite miners IN 1900 and 1902 and was
prominently mentioned for nomination as
vice president on the Democratic national
ticket at the last electiOn-an honor how
ever, which he refused to consider
