PLUMBERS & FILTERS

The Plumbers want it distinctly un-
derstood that the United Hatters are
not the only union who have been
mulcted for damages. The Plumbers
have felt the iron hand of the judi
ciary, too. The New Jersey supreme
court handed a lemon to the Plumbers
last week, and it was Just as sour as
the one handed to the United Hatters,
although not quite so big. A "scab"
plumber named Ruddy, hailing from
Newark, N. j., brought suit for dam
ages against Local No. /, United Asso-
citation of Journeymen Plumbers,
Ste3mtitters and Steamfitters Help
ers, Of that city, claiming that he was
chased out of a couple of jobs because
union plumbers refused to work with
him. Ruddy was awarded a verdict
for $3.50. Wouldn't that Jar you? The
union plumbers were fined for refus-
ing to work with a man they didn't
feel like associating with. and the
court held in effect that the much
vaunted God given right to work or
not to work" is illegal and deserving
of fine. The next step will be to
fling a man into Jail if he refuses to
work when offered a job by a man
who is unfair, poor pay or unworthy
OF confidence. Referring to this re.
markable decision the Cleveland Cfti-
zen says:
Whether or not the Judiciary is
gaining its ends is for the plumbers
and steamfitters, the hatters and all
other organized workers to Judge. The
facts speak for themselves. The de-
cisions are rendered, the unionists are
forced to cough up their hard-earned
dollars, the open shoppers are pleased
and the politicians in power, like the
Pharisees of old, pass by and humble
something about the tariff and pros
perity and a lot of other hogwash.
The best way to continue this high

The basis of settlement of the Phil
adelphia strike proposed by the Phila-
delphia Transit Co. was rejected by
the Street Railway Men. and it was
unanimously voted to continue the
strike. Every day sees public SYM
pathy growing more strongly on the
side cf the strikers. The misrepre-
sentations of the daily press concern
ing the Philadelphia strike have been
something fierce. Golfers Weekly,
about as fair publication as one
could hope to find in these days of
subsidized dailies and corporation
owned magazines, tells the facts in
this way:
~, A transit company. staggering

vicious hcodlums in three sections OF
the city. careless with bricks and guns
and all four groups the products OF

the elements which made Philadelphia
look like hotbed of real anarchy
The city was not undergoing a reign of
terror. The long schooling of corrupt
politics had let slip into momentary

be with those compact, earnest gath
erings of men, with not drop OF

passed around, waiting up all night
till 5 o'clock of the morning for a
brief talk with their strike leader.
"'Keep away from the rum-shops.
Preserve law and order. Be good to
the public Stick to your union This
was the line of talk passed out to
them by Pratt and Timothy Healy.
&C. o. Pratt, national organizer and
spear-head of the present strike, is a
highly temperamental person, nervous
" alert, with brown eyes so swift
darting as to give the effect of a
squirrel. His cascading black hair is
shot with gray. His skin is dark
brown. The man is like some agile
woods creature. He has the personal
magnetism of a matinee actor-the
sort of person whom women find fas-
cinating. That flaming red tie of his,
starting out in sudden color from a
fancy white waistcoat, was like the
snowy plume of Harry OF Navarro to
the strikers. Some of them watched
it in almost hypnotic fascination. One
of them in the Frankford headquarters
kept muttering: oh, you red tie The
company made Pratt hero by hav
ing him arrested for melting to riot
The particular incident with which
the evidence connected him was one
in which he was not present. Some
of the testimony used against him was

above Golfers Weekly prints a num-
ber of pictures of the Philadelphia
strike. Every mob" shown is made
up of boys, with here and there a man
looking on, and most of them smiling.
