the practice of giving coupons in
bags of tobacco and of printing the
union label on PACKAGES of tobacco is
prohibited by one of the provisions of
the Payne tariff bill. The provision
relating to this subject is as follows:

tobacco and fine cut chewing tobacco
and cigarettes prescribed by law shall
be permitted to have packed in or at
tached thereto or connected with
them any article or thing whatsoever
other than the manufacturers wrap

Mitchell Talks Sense.

John Mitchell, formerly president
of the i United Mine Workers last
Sunday addressed the congregation of
the Free Synagogue in New York city
on Industrial Unrest" Rabbi
Stephen So Wise. introducing the
speaker, said that voluntary co-opera-
ton of capital and labor would re-
duce industrial disputes.
Industrial unrest" Mr.. Mitchell
said, has it's origin in the desire. for
greater freedom. The ideal of the
average working man in this country
is that some day he may have his own
small cottage, from which nobody can
evict him, and that his earnings will
be sufficient to educate mis- children
and to provide them with the proper
surroundings. s-s
Il do not wream of an even dfstri-
button of wealth, but want a more
equitable distribution than we have
now. There are those in the labor
movement who would destroy society
in order to erect better structure.
If / were to construct there is not a
single structure upon which would
lay a. violent hand.
"We want our associations of work
ing men to nave such rights that they
may do their work in the open. where
everybody sees and knows what they
are doing. We do not want secret
labor societies like those in some
countries of Europe" "

THUMBS DOWN

FARGO MERCHANT WHO DEALS
IN HEAD-GEAR SAYS JRGANIz.
ED LABOR OF CITY DIscRIMI-
MATES IN FAVOR OF TOP
PIECES WITH UNION LABEL.

When the announcement was made
more than two months ago that the
union men of Fargo wound show their
loyalty to the label idea by refusing
to buy hats on the bands of which no
union labels were attached, / for one
was not inclined to ta.7e IL seriously"
said prominent local merchant this
morning. organized labor Of Fargo.
it was said, believed that while the
matters were out on strike 1t behooved
every union man to give them moral
support, at least. by tabooing head
lieve that this programme would be
more than partially carried out or
that local dealers void notice its eff
fects to any apprecia5le extent.
Il have found that l wos wrong.
My store sells several OF the stadard
grades. Some of T. I'M have the union
label and some have not. The run on
on spring hats began some time ago.
Almost invariably when a union man
comes in we notice that whenever a
likely looking piece Of head gear is
before him he generally takes a squint
inside and, If the label is not there,
turns his thumbs down and asks to
see what we have ii. the label line
If organized labor throughout the
country showed as much loyalty to
priciple as do it's representatives in
Fargo the profits of the manufacturers
who. turn down the label would be de-
creased considerably"

No PICKETING
IN MANITOBA
JUDGE MATHERs OF WINNIPEG
COURT OF APPEALS AWARDS
JUDGEMENT OF $4,000 IN FAVOR
OF THE MASTER PLUMBERS
AGAINST JOUR. EYMEN.

An important decision has just been
rendered in Winnipeg by the court of
appeal awarding Cotter Bros plumb
ers and steam filters, damages to the
extent of $4,000 following the strike
of the union, and also granting a per-
petual injunction against the picket
ing of the premises of the plaintiffs
by members of the union. Under this
decision picketing is declared illegal.
The original suit was brought by the
master plumbers of the city against
the journeymen> plumbers, and mem
hers of local union, to restrain them
from interfering with the plaintiffs
and the men they had hired during
the plumbers strike, and to recover
damages for injuries they considered
they had received. The case was tried
before Judge Mathers, who held that
the defendants had brolen the law and
had thereby rendered themselves liable
to damages for inducing those who
remained in the plaintiffs employ or
afterwards entered same, to leave
their employment and for preventing
others from doing so. There Is no
doubt the plaintiffs were seriously da-
mayed by the strike and what follow
ed it, and he assessed the damages
tagainst all the defendants at $4,000.
The injunction was also made perpet-
ual restraining the defendants from
interfering with the plaintiffs or their
workmen. From that decision the de-
PENDANTS appealed.
The judgement OF the court was
that the appeal the defendants
should be dismissed but no costs Of
the appeal should be allowed to either
party. the court held that for a num-
Der of persons to combine together to
procure others to break contracts is
unlawful and IL such others are fn-
duceds to break and do break their
contracts this constitutes an actional
wrong. 1t is no justification for the
defendants to show that they were not
actuated by malice or ill-Will against
the persons injured by their acts and
that they only ought to further their
own interests. The picketing or be-
setting the plaintiffs shops with the
object of coercing employees or induc-
ing them to cease working Is also un-
lawful. The strike was the act OF the
union as body and not that of in

union were forced to quit work by
reason of the strike having been de-
clared by vote of the union. In
spite OF the strenuous efforts made by
nearly all the members who were ex-
amined to suppress the facts and to
evade giving straight answers to ques-
tons and in spite of the fragrant acts
OF the officers Of the union la destroy
ing or concealing important docu-
ments, there was SUFFICIENT evidence
given at the trial to bring wrongful.
acts home to the union as a body, so to
to make its funds or property liable
to answer in damages.

These are some of the things which
Mrs. Robert A. WOODS of Boston told
the members of the Women's Trade
Union league of Chicago at its meet
ing on Sunday last. Some of the
members are housewives, and others
are willing to become such. -
the question of woman suffrage is
really a housekeeping question ac-
according TO Mrs. Woods, who admit :
ted thai she is a housewife herself. II
see you are discussing the question of
women voting in municipal elections"
said Mrs. Woods. THAT is really a
question of housekeeping. The woman
is the head of the household, and she
cannot keep a home in city unless
she has something to say about the
making of the laws.
at women are willing to work for
less wages than men, that cuts down
the wages of the man. If the mans
wages are cut down that reduces the
income of the housewife, wha really
sets the economic standards of the
country. Low wages mean low
standards of living, and 1t is the wo-
man who works for pin money that
Is to blame. The housewife may be
driven to strike If pressed too nard.
''The housewife is the social secre-
tary in her neighborhood. She is the
most potent factor in our social as
she is in our economic life. She ce-
ments the different elements in the
community. She is the power That
can compel pure food labels or union
labels to be placed on articles for con-
sumption. While we are busy edu-
eating working girls to the necessity
of organization, we should not over
look the education of the housewife
in that direction, for she counts more
in the life of the country than any
other factor"
