John Barkus, a striking cigarmaker of
Trenton. n. j., has been fined $50 and
costs and sentenNed to the workhouse
for year. The dne and sentence were
imposed by Judge Gnitchel. Barkus was
a union picket during the strike. He
sought to enlist ne sympathies of the
girl strikebreakers. 1t was not charged
that he acted roughly, nor that he in
suited the girls. on the contrary it was
shown that he was polite and gentle
manly in his address. But Barkus was
guilty of the awful crime of asserting his
constitutional right to free speech in the
face of an injunction issued by Gnitchel.
The judge said the strikers pickets must
not talk to the strikebreakers Barkus
insisted on his rieht to do so. and as
result he must so to prison.

PHILADELPHIA UNION GAINS.
Quaker City Increases Labor Membership
SO Per Cent.

Organized labor of Philadelphia
gained so per cent. in membership as
a result of the recent car strike.
"An of the employees of the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, 5000 in number, are
now organized.
Forty thousand textile workers of
Philadelphia became unionists during the
strike.
The Machinists' unions of the Quaker
City doubled their membership in the
FIVE days following the general strike.
practically all of the Philadelphia
laundry workers are now in the ranks of
organized labor
This remarkable summary of one of
the greatest strikes of recent times was
made by Luella Twining. president of the

tive of the Pan-American Press in the
Senate lobby.

during the strenuous days of the car
strike, and today we have 6,ooo members.
These women are organized in each of
the 12 car barn districts, just like their
husbands.
What is the aim or the AuNinary!
Why, our aim is to stand by the car men
in all of their industrial struggles. The
wife of the working man has learned the
lesson of solidarity. just as her husband
found this out by bitter experience.
No strike was ever won without the
aid of women. 1t is the wife who de
termines whether or not the family
should go on short rations and suffer
hardships in order to wiring concessions
from greedy and arrogant employers.
In the recent Philadelphia car strike,
the wives of the strikers said: We will
not live with scabs.' And a better or
ganized city is the result"
Miss Twining then gave brief history
of the formation of the Auxiliary. how
the women turned out in the thousands
to attend the first meeting in the Labor
Lyceum on March 20. and how success
fully they carried out their plans of
holding bazaars, entertainments and
dances for the purpose of raising funds.
"The women raised from s100 to $500
every day. showing that the Auxiliary
supported the strike financially as well
as morally" said their leader.

The report of the committee on the
credentials OF the Carpenters came while
the resolutions committee were retired
making their report on the above resolu-
tions. The report of the credentials com
mittee was read by n member of the
committee, the report saying that the
committee had heard representatives from
both the Building Trades Council and
the Brotherhood Carpenters, ard from
what information they had on the matter
in hand they recommended that the ere
dentials of the Carpenters be not re-
ceiyed and the affiliation of the Car
penters rejected.
Delegate Deyault of the Musicians was
the first TO gain recognition from the
chair MIR. Deyault spoke only minute
and said that he believed II would be
for the best interests of the labor move
ment In Denver to seat the Carpenters;
that he believed II would be pouring oil
on the troubled waters to extend sym
pathetic hand and try and unite the
building trades factions.
George a HALEY WAS present and the
Building Trades Council asked that he
be given the noor to represent the coun'
Gil in the debate. The floor was accorded
Mr. HALEY and he was next recognized
by the chair and Immediately launched
into an extended argument as to why
the Brothel Nood Carpenters should no,
be seated He started at the beginning
and went over the whole trouble in a
well delivered and convincing argument
Mr. Buck OF the Brotherhood was next
granted the floor. Mr.. Buck covered the
ground for the Carpenters as did Haley
for the Building Trades Council. He de-
MED several OF Mr.. Halleys statements.
He said that six AmalEamatcd carpenters
were the cause Of all the trouble, one Of
these being contractor and one a non
resident The brotherhood now has l.1o0

PRESIDENT LEWIS
COMING HERE
Lea der of U. M. w. of A. to Take Charge
of the Striking Miners in the Northern
Colorado Fields.

T. E. Lewis, international president of
the United Mine Workers of America, is
coming to Colorado to personally conduct
the walkout of the coal miners in the
northern part of the state.
This was the information received in
Denver this week. According TO the in
formation. Harry Bousfield an interna-
'ional organizer who has been in Colo
RADIO for the last two weeks, has wired
President Lewis that he is needed here
Recently Organizer Bousfeld was in
the Offices of Mr.. Struby, asking him if
the operators would not treat with the
union. When he received a reply that
under no consideration would the North
ern Colorado mine operators have any
thing further to do with the United Mine
Workers of America he is said to have
sent a telegram to President Lewis at
Indianapolis, advising him to come to
Colorado, and it is believed that Presi-
dent Lewis will be here in week or so
10 take personal charge of the situation
in the northern fields.
The operators are importing men from
the East, and the miners charge that the
men are being brought in as prisoners,
some of them not even knowing what
state they are in. There are several
mines in partial operation.
John R. Lawson. representing the Colo
rado district on the executive board of
the mine workers. has returned from the
Western Slope, where he investigated
the lockout in the Cameo mine. He re-
ports that when the miners employed
there insisted on joining the United Mine
Workers of America they were dis
| charged. A day later their families were
evicted from the company houses and
their household goods dumped into a
ravine.
Deputy Labor Commissioner E. NJ.
Gross has investigated the lockout and
sworn to complaint charging the super
intendent of the mine with coercion and
failure to provide the miners with a
check weighman, as the law provides.
