Nv PETER POWER.

Heretofore the National Consumers
league has occupied passive posi-
ton regarding the questions OF wages
hours. etc. and confined its efforts to
waging war against sweatshops ana
their products.
Now the league has entered new
era. At the national convention III
Providence. II. l.. just held. IL was
admitted that after 10 years expert
ence the plans TO regulate the sweat
ed trades have utterly failed.
The Consumers league Is now or
ganized i'm 20 states and embraces oo
subordinate bodies. The membership
Is almost exclusively composed OF so
ciety and professional women VINO
have become interested In the sweat
shop phase OF the labor question, al
though many prominent men are also
members. At the Providence conven-
ton Prof. John Graham BROOKS, OF
Cambridge, well-known as an author
and lecturer, was elected national
president, and Florence Kelley OF New
York. general secretary.
II Is the custom of the league TO ar
range white lists" in the principal
cities containing the names OF firms
| which handle women's clothing bear
ing the leagues label. These labels
are furnished TO such concerns only
that have no dealings with sweatsnops.
During the present year a commit
tee will make careful investigation
OF the piece work system in the man
ufacture of womens undergarments
and devise plans to establish wage
boards for the purpose OF participant
ing In the adjustment OF working con-
ditions and the solution OF other prob
lens that arise between employers ana
employees. In other words, the league,
representing the purchasing public, IN
tends TO have something TO say re-
garding labor questions.
| The league also intends TO demand
that the states enact laws prohibiting
manufacturers, jobbers. merchants,
contractors, etc. from sending goods
into tenements for any process OF man
ufacture whatsoever In the hope OF
smashing the sweating evil.
| Oficials OF the International Typo
graphical union will issue a statement
in few days showing the operations
of the old age pension system adopted
by that body 10 months ago. The ex'
pertinent is proving an unqualified sue
cess.
About $4,000 members are paying
an average OF 35 cents per month each
into the old age pension fund. which
now has balance OF close to $l56,O0O.
Any printer who has reached the
age of 60 and has been good-stand-
! ing member OF the union for % years
is eligible to the pension list and is
paid 81 per week II he is unemployed
at the trade. Over five hundred mem
! bers are on the pension roll.
This number does not include $50
superannuated and sick members who
are inmates OF the Union Printers
home at Colorado Springs, Col, who
are furnished with every comfort
without cost and are paid small pen
/ sion besides for spending money. The
$4,000 printers pay an additional 10
cents per month into a separate fund
to maintain the home.
The Hatters union is trust. The
! Hat Manufacturers association is not
trust. This, in substance. is the
ug.handled justice that has been
| handed down from the federal bench.
In the Loew case the United Hatters
were declared to have violated the
Sherman antitrust law, and the union

lied. withdrew from the manufacture
ers' association. and signed an agree
ment with the union IN order To secure
competent workmen and retain its
trade The United States district court
denied the right OF the firm TO with
draw from the combine and held II In
line on $4,000 bonds.
Again, the Massachusetts, supreme
court decides In building trades case
that unions had no control OF their
memberships and that member could
not be disciplined for refusing to
strike. Where are we at?
Not satisfied with having decreed
that the Plumbers union must pay
$4,000 for picketing, the Manitoba
court OF appeals has decided further
that the Machinists' union must pay
$4,000 damages TO concern against
which they are striking. The Mani
toba unions are all affiliated with in
'ternational organizations that compose
the American Federation OF Labor.
and the memberships In Florida are as
much interested In these cases as the
Canadians.
Cigarmakers. printers. tobacco
workers and other unions that have
labels are intensely interested In the
new tariff bill now before congress. A
clause in the tobacco schedule reads
that no package of tobacco or cigar
cites shall have attached thereto any
article or thing other than the man.
ufacturers' wrappers and labels. II
this provision is adopted the union la
bel will be outlawed on tobacco pro-
ducts. Hence hard fight will be
made against the anti-label clause.

GOOD ROADS
MOVEMENT.
SOUTHERN FARM GAZETTE HAS
TAKEN UP THE FIGHT FOR
BETTER ROADS.

The last issue of the Southern
Farm Gazette, of this city, was de-
voted entirely to the question of
good roads. Ii contained much
good reading matter on the subject
and as the Farm Gazette's readers
in Mississippi number up in the
thousands, it will doubtless have a
good effect upon this important
movement. Good roads mean
prosperity to any county. They
enhance the value of farms, save
wear and tear of stock and vehicles
induce trade to towns into which
good roads lead, to say nothing of
the luxury it affords the people who
have to travel the roads. Oktibbe-
beha county is woefully deficient
in the matter of good roads when
compared to the other counties OF
che state. Let us improve oul
roads if we have to issue bonds tC
do it.
